Saturday - after Grad Post

hello everyone

well I'll tell you that it was a whirl wind of events for the Spruce Grove grad 2011!

So Thursday morning started at 3:30 am for me

and I was only running on 2 hours of sleep (and had been up for 23 hours when I went to bed at 1:30 am on Wed/Thursday morning lol)

When I got up on Thursday - I was suppose to take the day off lol

I know funny uh?

I headed to the office to grab all the orders that had to be delivered and when I walked in

I thought goodness can't leave the office like this lol

so before heading back out I had to do a clean up

we left the office Wed night pretty late like 7:45pm ( I had been there since 4:00am)

oh and at that point we still had to pick up Renee's dress from the seamstess

and get groceries for camping and the wing night that we were having after grad

CRAZY lol

okay so then I headed to the City and delivered all the orders

I also took my Hummer to get a very good Spa!

while this was happening Rex was trying to clean up the house (thank you Rexy)

and the kids were giving Max a much needed bath (we nicked named him Dusty Maxy) lol

got back home after the deliveries and started to get the clan ready

ouh and had to feed the family some lunch in between all this

I did Renee's hair and her makeup and then

I did Kayla's hair

then had to iron all the boys shirts and Woody's jeans had to be washed as well

yhap CRAZY

and yes at this point I am so not ready and the photographer was at our house to take photos

I will share the family photos as soon as I have them it maybe a few weeks

Denise thank you so much for being so patience and I am so sorry for being so far behind

Rex's mom and dad arrived and my mom and Bill

Thank you Mom for taking control and helping with get the family photos organized

so appreciated it

so they were getting photos while I was getting

ouh and Evan and Woody also got the BIG truck Ready for GRAD

 
looks good uh?

see the ladder on the side

that is how tall that truck is

you can see the tail end of my Hummer hehe

 
I finally made it out onto the deck

(a little sneak peak of the deck that Rex and Evan rebuilt here as well)

sorry about the sleeping bags hanging on there and extra building in the background

goodness it's not a great photo but Rex hates getting photos so this was a good one to get

and on the far left is Rex's dad

you can see my mom's new hair do here he he

I love it mom

I can't wait to get the photos from the photographer to share with you!

I am looking forward to joining my family today

they are all camping

but I had to work yesterday

and I'll tell you that I was so tired

I never went to bed till 4:30am (remember Wing night after grad at our house)

 and got up at 6:45 am to go to work

so yes last night I went to bed really early

I think I counted that I had slepted like 8 hours from Monday to Thursday

so last night was catch up time

I even left all the dishes and everything just needed to go to bed

so I do hope you all enjoyed my post from Graduation day

Monday is a holiday so I will not be posting instead will be enjoying some much

needed down time with my family

camping in the wilderness with Rex, Evan, Renee, Woody, Kayla

and our two nephews Tyler and Brad

should be fun

so I will see you all on Tuesday

I sure do look foward to getting back into my craft room next week

I do wish you all a really wonderful

weekend

take care my friends

and thank you all so much for understanding my absence
