"Project Re-ORGANIZE Pantry"

Here is the end of "Project Re-ORGANIZE Pantry":
(I'm not sure that it was ever organized, but it is now, and we won't have to go shopping for a loooooong time! Can we say "excess"? Notice the trash bags, ziplock bags, Splenda, Drink Mixes, Ramen Noodles, and pasta in particular...)












Unfortunately I didn't get "before" pictures. This was about halfway through it.
The floor was piles with bags and boxes and random thrown in things up to the 2nd shelf before I started.....
I threw out a big bag of trash this morning and saw that the large George Forman grill there on the floor, was out in the trashcan outside! Mom won't be happy about that, but I didn't do it! Guess that shows how done with this my dad was! Here are the "in the middle" pictures.

Wicked was absolutely AMAZING!

The music was PHENOMINAL! The stage/set was incredible! The Cast was remarkable! Plus, it was a great story!

Since we couldn't take pictures inside., I found a couple online from news articles...Last night, Glinda was actually a stand-in. The picture above is her. She had an AMAZING voice! So did Elphaba!
(The one below is the main role, but you can hardly tell.)

She actually had a bubble. And Elphaba (the wicked witch) made fun of her for it.

This was amazing. I LOVED IT! I think it makes the story The Wizard of Oz so much better (far different than a child would see it, but better nonetheless)!!! I'm glad things worked out so I could go!
(I was told not to read the book by the way, so if you don't get to see the Broadway on tour, don't bother!)

Park Time

Went to the park today with the Ferrills.
Lots of fun.
Lots of great pictures.
Great fun with friends.
What can be better?













Beautiful Joanna.















Loving the swings.













Cute Isaiah.












Saying in her mind,
"Aunt Jesskah, push me!"
















He was saying it too, but it was out loud.











Ferrill Family Picture
Daddy Tim, Mommy Jodi,
Baby Ferrill, Isaiah, Joanna

















I like this one a lot.

















... you can see faces better in this one though.













"Aunt Jesskah!" ~Joanna
(sounded more like "ahhhhh!")














See, mommy's good at pushing the swing too!

















And daddy is too!










Again, she thought I was neglecting her while I took my pictures.

















He wanted me to push him too. :)













Rawr! Lion and Tiger!












Joanna wanted to be one too!















Ahhhh! The tiger is going to get me!















He is getting so big!


















And still soooo cute!


















RAWR!!!!!!

Time for Reminiscing

I miss camp.

Definitely the best summer of my life.






There were hard days, tired times, and struggles with patience and endurance, but in all reality, not much could have made it any better!

















These are a
few of my
favorite pictures
from the summer.

From Knott's Berry Farm,
















to spending time with old camp friends,























to seeing my former jr. high students from Alhambra,















there were many fun and exciting things happening all summer long!

And of course...
New and Amazing Friends!!!
