TUCSON, AZ

Get ready for a picture OVERLOAD!!!

Gregg and I took a little vacation this week and headed out to Tucson with Del and Stephanie to visit TB and Debbie in Tucson. It was so nice and fun. the guys played golf and the ladies took in the sights and did some shopping. We had a great time!!!

We flew in on Saturday and started off the weekend with some sight seeing in downtown Tucson. It was Dillinger Days so we had a lot of fun learning about John Dillinger. Who's John Dillinger you ask........well he was a famous gangster/bank robber in the 30s and was finally caught in Tucson at the "Congress Hotel".

Here I am with John at the Congress Hotel. HEHEHE!

Stephanie and I at Club Congress.

We crashed an art museum opening!! It was sooo funny, we laughed the entire time.

Helping ourselves to the buffet.

After a long day of sight seeing we met up with the guys and had some dinner at a very cute Italian restaurant.

Gregg and Del reaching for some oranges.

And Stephanie reaching for some wine.

On Sunday Stephanie, Deb and I took it easy and then went for a massage. Stephanie and I went for a bike ride first. The weather was so great, I think I might have even broke a sweat.

On Monday we went for pedicures and headed out for some shopping.

Here I am at the La Encantada Shopping Center. It was a little colder on Monday, I had to keep reminding myself that it's a lot colder at home!!!

Stephanie and I taking a break.

Here we are just before we had to head back to the airport.

I had a really great time hanging with the girls. Thanks TB and Debbie for everything and an even bigger thanks to my Mom and Dad who were stuck with our two kiddos who even got the stomach flu while with them. THANKS!!!

Happy Birthday Leia Ann!!!!

Well I missed telling Leia Happy Birthday yesterday amongst all my traveling so I'm posting today!!!

Who would of ever thought that we would be best friends after all the fighting and yelling we did as youngsters. I'm sooo happy to have you as a sister and a best friend. Some of my best times have been laughing with you!! I hope you had a wonderful day!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I LOVE YOU!!

WHAT IN THE HECK YOU GUYS???!!!

Would somebody please stop me before I get myself into these messes!!! So I have started yet another home makeover, yes that's right you would think with a full time job and 2 young children I would have my hands full enough. Oh no I have to start something else to make myself nuts!!! I have decided to repaint my living room and entryway and of course I pick the hardest thing to do. The living room is finished, I just painted it the same green that is in the kitchen but to jazz it up I painted flat and satin stripes. I think you can see the contrast in the pictures, that was pretty easy. BUT THE ENTRY IS ANOTHER STORY!!

Riley had to get into the fun. Yes I did really let her paint and she did a pretty fine job if I do say so myself.

I have now been working on this since January the 3rd AND I'M STILL NOT FINISHED!!!

I really think it's going to look awesome when I'm finished with it but when that is going to be I'm not sure!!! Please pray for me to finish or to keep my sanity!!!
