Scrapbook USA Expo

September 9, 2011

My sister Linda and I went to the Scrapbook USA Expo. We go every six months and have a blast. The theme this time was "Queen for a Day". They gave us pink boas and a tierras. It was so me!!!! LOL!

This year I entered one of my scrapbook page layouts and won 3rd place (of course I need to give some credit to Linda as to one of her ideas I used on my page). I won a Cuttlebug and some folders (probably a $80.00 value)!!! Yeah!!!

I then competed in a dance competition and won 2nd place. Oh my gosh it was so fun and made me super tired. It just wasn't one song we danced to, it was FOUR!!!! Ouch!!! Anyway, I won a huge pad of printed paper a matting pad of paper to match and a really nice vinyl saying to hang on the wall. I had such an amazing time!!! Thank you Linda for always going with me and for making it so much fun each and every time!!!

Alaskan Cruise

August 23rd-30th

Rick and I went on an Alskan Cruise with Red, Robyn, Matthew and Dillon. We went on the Disney Cruiseline and had the most amazing time!!!! We did three excursions one of which was in Skagway. We took a catamarn across the ocean for about 20 minutes to a beach where we were dropped off at a beach and took a bus up to an area that had a place for us to put rain gear on. Then we took a canoe over to the Davidson Glacier in a lake made by the glacier itself. It was amazing!! After the excursion we all went shopping aroung the cute town.


The next excursion was took place in Juneau. We geared up for a Glacier Float Trip. We saw an incredible glacier in the distance as we floated down the river. Then we came across some rapids. We got a little wet and the water was freezing!!! It sure was fun thouogh. Unfortuneately, we had to be back on the boat by 4:30 so we didn't have time to shop!!!


The last excursion was in Ketichan. We went ziplining! It was so much fun!!! This was the funniest excursion of all of them. On the bus ride up to the ziplines, we all were watching for whaels and bears. Dillion and Rick spotted a baby bear, but by the time we backed up the bus, he was gone. Dang it, I was hoping so much to see a bear. We did 7 zip lines one of which was 600 ft. long. After the zip lines we got to repeal down from a tree about 25 ft. Then we got to slide down a really steep slide.

Baby Contest

Finals

Kelsey was in the baby contest for the County Fair and made the finals!!

Erica started Pre-School

Erica started Pre-School this week. She was so scared to go. She cried for awhile and then did fine. She got to be the "Happy Helper" and bring show and tell to school. The teacher said she is the politest 3 year old she have ever seen. She now says to me if I can't hear her, "Grandma repeat after me, Loooooook attttttt Meeeeeee Now."

Kelsey's First Birthday

I can't believe Kelsey bug is one year old already. The kids had a birthday dinner on Kelsey's birthday at their house and on Saturday they had a huge birthday party at my house. We had two swimming pools, a slip and slide and a pinata. We all had a blast!!! Happy 1st birthday Kelsey bug. Grandma and Grandpa Massey loves you so much!!!

My Birthday

A couple of weeks ago my sisters had a birthday party for me at Linda's house. It was so much fun! I opened presents, had a birthday pie and made cute lightbulb snowmen. The day of my birthday, Rick, Zach, Liz and I went to Mesquite had dinner and played. I really had a great birthday. Thank you everyone for making my birthday fantastic. I love all of you so much!!!
