Summertime!

Thanks to my blog friends for your encouraging comments regarding blogging from my last post.
One of the things I love most about blogging is the support and people I have gotten to know. :)
Summer is just such a busy time so I will post as time allows. Maybe not a set schedule, but I will post.

I can't believe we are already almost through the second week of summer vacation.
Erin has been at a little camp that she loves with a neighbor friend this week.
In fact, she loves it there so much she actually let them do her hair!

She had a fancy braid put in by one of the girls. For someone who doesn't like me messing with her hair for more than ten seconds, that is a pretty big accomplishment ;)

So this week, Evan and I have been hanging a little on our own.
And one of the main things we have been accomplishing is exercise!
On Monday, I went for a three mile run alone.
But on Tuesday we went for a one hour walk through the park together.
Then yesterday we went out to Powder valley nature reserve and walked the trails for an hour and a half.
Believe me, I am enjoying the fact that he wants to spend time with me and talk up a storm! I know as he gets older this may occur less, but for now it's great! :)
Today he has a friend over so I am going to try and get some cleaning done!

As far as scrapbooking, I haven't done any really. But I am getting my Craft Your Nest giveaway package ready to mail out to the  winner who was announced *Here*. It was Kelly G.
I haven't heard from her yet though, so if I don't within a week I will most likely choose another winner. Stay tuned. :)

On Sunday, I did bring home this pile of photos from my parents house...

It is a mix of my grade and high school day photos and older family photos. I love the one on top of my grandparents with my mom as a baby. I need to scan and save it before giving it back to them.
But there are more. They have boxes and boxes of photos. And those terrible magnetic albums. I pulled a few pictures from the albums already, but there are so many that still need to be "rescued".
I am thinking of scrapbooking quite a few though.

And I did think of a few more photos to link up to the Paper Issues "Food For Thought" issue...

 Eating out on vacation...

more eating out...

and a much older page about Evan buying pumpkins at the farmer's market :)

I actually did two pages about it at the time. A single and a double. I put one in the family album and one in his personal album. Two different ways to tell the story. :)
Anyway, if you have some old or new projects that would fit the theme, the post to link up is *Here*.

And for those of you who are big October Afternoon fans, the new Public Library line is in the store now!

For this book fanatic, it is one of my favorite lines by them to date! You can see it in the shop *Here*! And if you use code MARYJO, you can get 20% off your order!

Anyway, for the rest of the week, just looking forward to more summer fun and Mike being home for the weekend to celebrate Father's Day.
Hope you have a great weekend!
