...now that SPORTS are winding down...

...I don't know what we will do with all of our EXTRA time...last week Mason and Ben both finished up their regular seasons...and now all that is left is Ben's City Tournament. Even though Ben's team didn't have a big winning season...BEN DID...Ben hit his first HOME RUN...and it was a GRAND SLAM!!! ...a couple of years ago during Summer Tournament time...I told Ben if he hit a "Home Run" I'd give him A Hundred Dollars...and he didn't let me forget that...Ben made $110 that game, because his PeePaw had always said he'd give him $10 bucks if he made a Home Run! It was an exciting moment for sure! ...a moment worth documenting with a scrapbook page...

What a {GREAT} weekend...

...this past weekend Stuart and I got to do something that we normally don't get to do...get out of town without the kids! We had a great time...the weekend started out by checking into The Davenport Hotel on Friday evening...


...if you ever get to Spokane, and you haven't stayed in The Davenport...I highly recommend it...I LOVE it! In fact, it's usually the only place Stuart and I stay while visiting Spokane...I LOVE the history of the hotel and the beds are the most comfortable I have ever slept in.

Saturday morning...I was up bright and early where I met my sister for Joggin for the Noggin. Where there was an amazing turnout and support for individuals with Brain Tumors...building Awareness here in the Pacific Northwest. This was my second year running in this event and it won't be my last...

...and then Saturday night we went and saw WICKED...we {LOVED} it!

Did you know it was Teacher Appreciation Week?

...Teacher Appreciation Week has started...RIGHT NOW is the PREFECT time to tell those teachers who much they mean to you! Show your appreciation...even the simplest "thank you" doesn't go unnoticed.

I just finished up some very quick and fun "thank yous"...












SRM's Sticker Sentiments #51005 Thank You's were PERFECT for this little project!

Monday's in May!

Jessica Sprague has something NEW for you this month! Introducing Monday's in May!!!

Let's bring AWARENESS to something very dear and near to my {HEART}...

Today starts National Brain Cancer Awareness Month! Did you know 1 person is diagnosed every 3 minutes in the United States? ...startling statistics isn't it? I will never forget the moment when my dad told me he had a Brain Tumor...that was nearly 13 and a half months ago. My Dad was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage 4 Brain Cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of Brain Cancer...when he first started this journey we knew NOTHING about this disease...I can't say that any longer...I think I am quite educated these days...

In the last year, I have counted at least 10 people not including my dad, who have already passed away or are still fighting for their lives with GBM...and our community still DOES NOT have resources specifically for Brain Tumor patients or their families...what saddens me the most is there are never any events held specifically for Brain Cancer Awareness locally either...even with all these families here that have been devastated by this horrible disease. We have travelled outside to other communities to support Brain Cancer Awareness...and will continue to do so...until our community here realizes there is a need here...to build awareness for Brain Cancer.

I will wear gray EVERYDAY this month in my support of Brain Cancer Awareness Month! ...along with MANY other things...what will you be doing? I would love to hear...send me a message...

Here's a little project I made...actually a few months ago...and it's been sitting on my shelf waiting for today...to be seen! Let's find a CURE!
