The girls thought they would be bond girls!

Emma and Elle had a great time together!

We sure missed Tanner on our trip but I guess we have to start getting use to it!

Well I meant to blog last week but didn't seem to find any small amount of time to do it. I am just as busy this week (if not even more so) and knew if I don't just sit down right now I will never have the time again for another week or two or even three. It seems that summer always starts out this way... with a big bang and then some time in July it slows down to a manageable pace.

This week the Grandparents will be arriving!! We are looking forward to this event with much anticipation :) I actually wish they were staying longer but at the same time I have many other activities I must concentrate on and so it is probably better that their visit will be a short 7 days.

Today is Tanners last official day of high school!! His graduation ceremony is Friday night which is why the grandparents are flying all the way to the grand ole state of Minnesota to visit. I never thought I would be just glad to get this through with but after the last two weeks of Tanner doing last minute projects and almost (and I mean almost) not getting a necessary half credit to graduate (we weren't even sure last week that he would be graduating, some times I guess it is the least likely child that always surprises you!!) but as of today he will be receiving his degree!!! Yippee Dippy Hooray!!

I have been stressing a little bit about all the activities I have going on in my life right now...if I can get through girls camp in another 2 weeks I will be on my down hill slide! I just need to make it through the next two weeks. It seems it is always a rush to get the last minute things planned but I know I can do it (yeah, right)

The girls and I went with Scott to Cedar Rapids this weekend. This is a city in Iowa about 3 hours away from Rochester. It was a nice break from things here and over all it was enjoyable. Except for the fact that Scott really wanted to go golfing and didn't get the chance and the girls threw a fit when their dad told them that he was taking them golfing, it was a great weekend. I only went crazy a little with Elle's complaining about the radio station and the fact that Scott wanted to listen to MammaMia for 3 hours straight it was rather a nice get away!

Now I am starting to gear up for the out of town visitors...that means I have to go and clean my bathrooms and do some shopping and wash some sheets...and 100 other items on my list!
