Decorating for Christmas

I know it's a little early but we decided to do a little decorating. I saw this idea a while ago and really wanted to try it. I hope you enjoy our up-side-down Christmas tree.
I also love it because it is a real space saver in our little apartment.

Halloween!

here are a couple pictures of the pumpkins we made on Halloween. I think they turned out pretty cool.

I have the best family!

A week ago my sister Cammie told me I may or may not get a mysterious package in the mail. So after a week of waiting, it came yesterday. I was so excited. When I opened it up I found 5 new shirts, several camisoles, and 2 new skirts!!! apparently when Cammie saw that this great little store was going out of business, she recruited my mom in going in on this very generous gift for me. I am so thankful for my family and a caring Sister with great style! THANK YOU GUYS!

Here are some pictures of me in my new clothes

I know I am posed the same way each time. My back was killing me.

Fun in Seattle!

Today was a lot of fun. Mike and I picked up our friend Bettie and her friend Karen at the air port and took them out for a day on the town. we went to Ivars and fed the seagulls french fries.


We went to the Ye Olde Curiosity Shop to see Sylvester the Mummy and some shrunken heads.

Then we went to Pikes Market


Behind Pikes in an ally is the Wall of Gum. It was awesomely gross. A must see for anyone who has ever stuck gum under a desk, or anyone who has ever had the disgusting surprise of touching it there.

Last but not least we say the Space Needle and the EMP building.
Over all a great day!!

Labor Day

I don't have many pictures, but for Labor day we went down to Portland to spend a little time with Mike's family. We played games, talked, went mini golfing, and played dress up. Kara wanted to make me into a puppet. So after a little make up and a hair due. This is how it turned out. A little scary I know. It scared my nephew so bad he wouldn't come out of his room until I took it all off.

This months selection is...

Alright! lets all try to read Angels and Demons and meet back with each other next month 10/9/10. I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of this book!!

Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is shocked to find proof that the legendary secret society, the Illuminati--dedicated since the time of Galileo to promoting the interests of science and condemning the blind faith of Catholicism--is alive, well, and murderously active. Brilliant physicist Leonardo Vetra has been murdered, his eyes plucked out, and the society's ancient symbol branded upon his chest.

LuJane Cook

My Grandma Cook is my hero! I wish I were more like her. I am so grateful for all that she taught me. Today I was trying to catch up on my scrapbooking. I got to my my Grandma's Funeral. I tried my best to make the pages in a way she would like. Here's how they turned out.
