Holy cow!

Its been forever and TWO days since I blogged! Im so sorry!
I had the whole family in town last week for 5 days................. by whole family I mean:
My mom- Judy, My sister Debi and her hubby Doug, their kids, Jessie, and Brandy and HER kid Amber,
My sister Cathi, and her kid Lauren, and HER KID Jacquline !  They stayed at hotels nearby... well except for Lauren & the baby cause.. as you all know, girlfriend wants some baby love around her so the baby hung with US! ;o))) yummilicious!  Isnt she?

Anyhow... so I was a little busy cause I am an overachiever and I wanted to make 3 meals a day for these folks since I never hardly ever see them.... so I, plus all my family helpers, spent most of our days cooking in the kitchen, or running around to places because lord knows there isnt ever enough time in a day!

(this thing stayed packed full and we ended up having to bring in a giant cooler too, AND another little fridge for the beverages-holycow)

It was all to celebrate my boys graduation. Yes.. you know.. the little dude you remember seeing running around my house now and then when you came in for your sessions.
(this is at the big pool party not so little anymore huh... )

He graduated High School last week (162 in his class which in my opinion, out of over 600 aint too shabby!!!) with honors!!!, and I promised him a big giant whoopla when this happened.. so I went and planned it and lo and behold It came to pass! WOOT!
Check out his fancy cake.................. 

I thought it would be cool to compile his favorite things about school... and his life... skating, and his music... (he plays clarinet)  so they put his music on rice paper so its edible... and made him a skateboard which was SUPPOSED to be edible... but wasnt... and his diploma is there along with his "yearbooks".  the cake tasted good too, which was BONUS! hahahah!

It was the best time ever.............. but my favorite parts were watching my family help in the kitchen.  And giggle over crap like my sister Debi not knowing what " Thats what she said" ment.. and then the rest of the week every 2 seconds something calling it out and causing a huge fit of giggles.  Or the time cathi made my car groan and I couldnt figure out what the sound was coming from.. and then it went to groaning really crazy like, and I turned to look in the back seat and shes wiggling back n forth like a bobble head and we both got the giggles like there is no tomorrow til we were crying, and my mom just shakin her head going "oh my goodness you girls..." Yeah.............those moments were great.

There was so much more going on ...................... and I dont have time right now to tell about it.. cause I am supposed to be on my way to Duck creek to take some pictures right about now... but wanted to feed my poor neglected blog, and wave hello and tell you all that I love ya!!! and I want to blog some pictures.. I really really do............so soon..I promise.....OK!

I'm off to go squish around in some mud for a while now........ I'll leave you with the party crowd (which includes some of the daddys relatives who came in all the way from NJ and Charleston SC to see him!!) all watching the video my friend April made for us............ this was before I started crying..... of course!
See... Im still grinnin.......
