Lilith Fair

Sarah, Becky and I went to the Lilith fair last weekend. We had some incredible encounters and experiences. The highlight for me was Mary J. Blige and Ingrid Michaelson. We saw Ingrid up close and personal for a special performance. Love it!

Pics of the girls after we were upgraded to stage seats after sweating in the lawn seats all day. Just in time for Mary. Yeah, girl.

Go Mary!

She put on one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Check out the girl in the background. Do my boobs look burned?

I'm your biggest fan!

Shutters!!!

Here they are...Shutters at last, shutters at last!

It's a little hard to tell the color so I will just tell you. They are dark blue.

Making cookies

The other day we were making cookies from scratch for a party. Mya loves to help bake. Here are pics of the before and after. I am so unclear as to what went wrong. Needless to say we had a blast making the inedible cookies.

Haaa!

Mya's first smiley face drawing

I can't believe it! The other day Mya began drawing smiley faces. She also drew a bunny rabbit and it actually looked like a bunny rabbit. What a delight!

It's these kinds of things I will cherish when I look back...the simple pleasures.

July 4th weekend

We had a rather fun filled weekend visiting friends, attending a birthday party and going to a pool party. That was all in one day by the way. Our good friends Renee and Evan were in town from Colorado. We hung out and attended the one of a kind O'Fallon parade. The highlight of the parade had to be the older lady on roller blades with no knickers under her hot pick mini shorts. She had no shame.

It was great to see good friends and all their babes. Unfortunately Mya was a little fussy pants on Sunday and had to sit out of the festivities. She was in bed by 6, not witnessing a single firework this year.

Below are two of my favorite pics of little Miss Mya. They make me melt every time I see them.

This is the most delicious cake ever. Thanks Janet!

This is Wesley, Renee and Evan's little boy.

The annual finger in the cake picture. It's a long story for those of you who don't know the significance.

Friends and their children.
