I can't believe my son is a year old! His party was a great time with family & friends!

Last month was my birthday and my gift finally came in yesterday!! It's a Babe Fiberstarter and I am super excited to learn how to spin on it!

last week

Last week was pretty busy with birthdays & getting Seth ready for NYR. Friday was Seth's 28th birthday but since he was going to be on the road all day on his birthday so we decided to celebrate his birthday early. It was also another NYR sponsor's birthday on Friday we got together on Wednesday & had a joint birthday celebration in Kansas City. We went to BD Mongolian for dinner. It was our first time going there. They have a buffet of raw meat & vegetables and you fill your bowl with all the meat & vegetables you could want and then you pick out the sauces & spices and they grill it all on their grill. So delicious!

Then we went to the Royals game & had a great time despite the heat. It was just a great night spending it with great friends, good food & a baseball game!


The cats were desperately needing baths. This is a once a year event because they don't particularly enjoy it. But I love how soft & clean smelling they are afterwards!





We took this photo before this horrible heat wave & drought killed off all our plants. I can't even remember the last time it rained here. We need it bad. I think we may possibly be getting some rain tonight. *crossing fingers*



I got to spend some quality time with my grandmother this weekend. It was really nice having her visit. My mother is also coming this week to keep me company while Seth is in Colorado. I'm really looking forward to spending time with her as well.

Hope everyone's week is wonderful!
