Friday Faves

So ready for Friday...but man am I BUSY!! WOW!! It's non-stop from today till next Sunday-WHEW! I am gonna try and fit it all in...:)

Here is my list of a few things I'm loving this week...

1. Summer. I mean I can't say it enough. Summer is great. The warm, sunny days...no school schedules or homework and late night movies and talks. The BEST!

2. My Girl {and her birthday}. Yeah, I know it was a few weeks ago, just now sharing the photos...

Miss Em the night before her 13th birthday at A&G. This is the coolicious card Grams gave her!!

That's me and Em at Legends in Kansas City on her special day. We had been shopping all day {note my cool new tee shirt!}. Legends is such a beautiful shopping area!

The cake at Dave and Busters...Death by Chocolate!!

This is Em with her amazing, one of a kind Daddy!! He gave her a dozen pink roses!! {see how skinny my man has gotten!!} That necklace and shirt she is wearing is from me!!

3. This week I have a new appreciation and respect for my son Jackson. Man, I love this kid!!!!

This was taken at A&G the night before Em's day.

4. You gotta go see Shrek!!! It is a hoot!!

We have made Shrek a part of Em's birthday celebration every since the series began!!

5. These two girls...Yvy and Em...

They share the same Birthday and have had their photo taken on their special day for the past 3 years!! Em is 13 and Yvy is 4:)


I would love to hear your Friday Faves from the week!!

I chose this word to describe how I feel finding my new chiropractor. I have enjoyed a pain free week!! To wake up everyday ready to go and have energy without a nagging headache or neck pain and not taking an entire bottle of Excedrin  has been WONDERFUL!!!!

My office is really coming along...although you wouldn't know it yet!:) LOL!!!! I have cleared nearly 3 bags of old papers, magazines and junk out of here!! And because of this class I'm taking I have been inspired to utilize a piece of furniture in a new and creative way. Can't wait to finish so I can share!!!

Finally...like I said at the beginning my life is NUTS in the next week! We have Em's soccer tournament tomorrow in KC then our church's big conference Sunday in Platte City. Today I have to get Em packed for Girl's Camp, finish this office space and catch up on laundry. Monday I can breathe a bit but then Tuesday through Friday I'm helping at Girl's camp early morning till night...we are preparing the food and clean-up. Friday we leave for Columbia for the Show Me Games in Columbia for Em's 3V3 soccer Tournament.

WHEW!!! Soooo, I may not get around to posting much. I know there are several of you I need to get interview questions to AND I'm taking my on-line course. I'm exhausted just thinking of all of this!!!

Tell me about a time in your life when you were going non-stop. How did you manage to do it all?!!?? I would love to hear your comments!
