If you haven’t become a fan or “liked” my facebook page it might be a good time to head over there!  I will be giving away 4 $10 gift certificates next week!  All you have to do is click the “exclusive” link in the left sidebar and follow the directions!  Easy as pie.

I will try to get more going next week on the blog.  I had a very eventful week with my kids and didn’t have much time at home.  My two oldest had camps, the oldest was at Heber Valley Girl’s Camp, and for the first time in 5 years I wasn’t involved.  It was so weird to be in the position of not knowing what was going on.  But she went, had an awesome time, and is now safely home!

My son had karate camp.  He spent 7 hours a day all week learning and practicing karate.  He almost got his orange belt, but got nervous in the very last part of the testing.  So he is all striped to test, and Hanshi says he will retest him when he is ready.  BUT, he did win first in board breaking (and that was against ranks of white through red belt!).  His team also came in first in the team competitions!  So he really did awesome!!!

And my youngest and I spent the week hanging out together.  I really don’t think she and I have had one on one time like that in her entire life.  It was so much fun!  We went to lunch, visited the zoo (she is an animal whisperer,  so we had to go), visited the petting zoo, saw a couple of movies, and played in the pool.  And then last night while I was out with a friend she took our Saint Bernard (Bear @ 140ish pounds, dd @59 pounds) for a walk while her sister (the babysitter) was in the shower.  DD is almost 10, and she and her friend decided to just take Bear out, no big deal. But, when they got a few houses away there was a cat out… What I have been told is that Bear started chasing the cat, dd held on trying to stop him (with her mighty 59 pounds), and he went around the corner of a house and the house stopped dd.  She was slammed into the house and knocked out.  Her friend got help fro the neighbor, and they treated her cuts and scrapes and checked her eyes for a concussion (he is in the medical field, thankfully).  And I came home to a purple faced, bleeding girl.  It was so sad.

She can’t remember what happened.  And her biggest concern is having to go out in public.  (Naturally, she is my child) I am going to have to see if we need stitches in her knee, and have them double check her head this morning.  What a night!

And today is my 17th anniversary to my hubby!  So, I guess what I am saying is sorry for the lapse in posts on the blog.  I’ve been busy and it isn’t over yet!  But I am finishing up a new kit, inspired by the fun with my kids so far this summer!  And I will have new releases at PDW next week!

Go enjoy your family!!!
