Montezuma Has a Castle and a Well!!

Summer Projects

I've been working on a few projects this summer. Just something to do with my time, you know. I've racked my brain all summer of things to do and these are just a couple of the things I came up with. I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I was making a quilt. Well I finished that (what an accomplishment for me!! I'll always remember the day I tackled the sewing machine, every time I hop into my newly covered bed!). I also made a cool bulletin board to put some of mine and Suzanne's pictures on for our new room at school. I feel very happy about the turn out on these two items that I wanted to post about them. My favorite part of the bulletin board was my idea to put the foreign coins on as the buttons. Yah, I thought I was pretty clever. So that's all I wanted to say...until next time. Hey, I've done pretty good about blogging this week! Keep it up Mary!

Photography Lessons for Mary

Annie and I have had some good times together this summer just hanging out. I like to go on her adventures that she puts together for her and her kids. Here are a couple of pictures that I was able to take on our photography adventures. On Tuesday we took a little hike up one of the South Mountain Trails and on Wednesday we went to take pictures of Red Mountain. They're nothing too great but I'm enjoying learning the art.

Let's Hear It For the Kiddies!

So I've been spending an awful lot of time with my nieces and nephews this summer...we've become quite...close, lets just say that. You just gotta love them even when they do scream and cry a lot. Those cute little smiles will pull you back in a heartbeat. So since many of you know of my recent bonding times I've been having with these cute little kiddios, I've decided to let you see what I'm dealing with here. Good times...let me tell ya, good times!



Cute little Mimi




Annie and I took Maren, Maile, Vance, and Mimi to the Mesa Children's Art Museum...








Here are the Triplets...little stinkpots!!










They get me every time!

This One's For You Becky and Suz

You just gotta love the random times that you have in the summer. Sometimes we run out of things to do and it's difficult thinking of something else to do. This is what me and my friends do. We like to take pictures. Mostly this is for them but you others who are not featured in these pictures can take a quick peek at our model shots if you would like. I sent them into Teen magazine and we are totally going to be on the front cover of their next edition.








You love them! I knew it!

The Game!!! Owwww!

K, I'm lame I know! I need to be a better blogger. Those words can only mean something if I decide to follow through with them though right? We'll see how that goes! I'm sure I'll be better once I'm back at school and away from the fam. So here a "game" that my mom posted a few weeks ago which she tagged me in and has been trying to get me to do it ever since and I think Jaymee tagged me in it too...so here it is Mom and Jaymee.

Rules:
Each player answers the questions themselves. At the end of the post the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answers.
