Where to Start.....

I have so much to post! First, I'll start with the annual Girl's Trip! It was a blast! We girls get together every year and stay at a chalet usually somewhere in Kentucky, and just relax! No husbands\boyfriends\men in general or kiddos! That's relaxing enough in itself, right? This year we chose Lake Cumberland. The weather wasn't great, but alright and we all had fun. The chalet was nice with hot tub, air hockey, pool table, karaoke, everything! A few of the girls got a pontoon, some hiked, and went to see the moonbow. Here are a few pics of our awesome weekend...


Next, my baby girl had her last day of Kindergarten. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any kind of graduation ceremony or event for it, but a week earlier they did have a field day that her Gammy got to attend and they had fun together! Emma was so excited that her Gammy came to her school and met all her friend's. Check out Peggy's blog for pics :)

Then we celebrated Emma's 6th birthday, with a High School Musical party at grandma's house. She had her HSM outfit on, we played Mrs. Darbus' cellphone search and musical chairs (which went over terribly), I don't recommend musical chairs!!! I think every child that missed their chair and therefore were out, CRIED! It was awful! But then we had CAKE, and that made everything all better :) Emma had a great time and loved her presents and getting to go back home with Gammy, of course, after the party!


And last to report, we went to Abbey Road on the River with our friends Kevin and Anne. We had a great time! It was a beautiful day, we were outside all day and night, listening to great music and enjoying good beer with friends! I have to say my favorite were the B-trips, but I like to call them "The Japanese Beatles" :) They were too cute and of course they played "The Beatles" very well. A good time was had by all...

Derby Day Dish

Well I have absolutely nothing to report on my knitting lately, but I do however have a party to post, a Derby party!!! My uncle has one every year, and it's always really fun! The girl's make a Derby hat, get to have a stick horse race, eat lots (that's the part Ava loves :), and this year I even let them do a little betting. My family has small pots that make it worth betting, but doesn't really empty your pockets at the same time, so I decided the girl's were old enough to pick the "silk" they wanted to win...yes, they picked by the jockey's silk pic in the book and the names. Ava decided on Denis of Cork because he had the awesome hot pink on, and Emma went with Eight Belles, since Belle is her middle name :) LOL! Cute, right? And they did win 2nd and 3rd place...I knew I should have let the bet the larger pot, bummer! But they bet the smaller one and went home with a few dollars, to them money is money anyway!



We had a great day!
