Happy Birthday Nash!

My Glamson Nash turned 8 this last week. We went to Wet-n-Wild and then onto Red Robin for dinner.
Then on Saturday, Nash was baptized and afterward we went to Macayos for Mexican food.

Earlier that day as is our Glamparent custom to buy our Glamchildren's first set of scriptures, I made the horrifying mistake of misspelling Nash's last name! I had to buy a second set of scriptures. Any ideas how to camouflage the misspelled name? I could use the other set on the coffee table or something...
I can't believe how dumb I can be sometimes! Oh well, it keeps me humble!

"The Next Food Network Star" auditions

Today my daughter Brooke did a taping for "The Next Food Network Star" show. She was on her A-game yesterday and had all the other contestants laughing. She got a call back for today and had to bring a dish and demonstrate a cooking skill. I can't tell you how proud I am of her. Not only is She a fabulous cook, but she has this great personality. She is kind and is always thinking of others. We made posters and the "Food Network" people taped all of us cheering Brooke on. Here we are waiting for Brooke in the lobby of the hotel.
Brooke now has to make a tape demonstrating 5 recipes. Then it will be up to the casting people. So who knows, if it is in the stars, my daughter could be "The Next Food Network Star"!

Digital Scrapbooking...



I used my MemoryMixer program to make these pages of the Glamchildren chowing down on their hot dogs. I have all these cute embellishments to use but always end up keeping my pages kind of simple. I still think scrapbooking with paper is faster, but that is probably because I am still somewhat inept using the computer. In the mean time, I will "Keep Moving Forward" and try to concentrate, have confidence and use a little courage to become a champion at digital scrapbooking!

Happy 4th of July!

Baby Conway is ready to celebrate!
The Glamkids decorated cookies and ate them at the same time.

They also "tye dyed" t-shirts to wear at the fireworks show. We just used permanent marker on the shirts and then sprayed 97% denatured alcohol on the markers and it made the colors run.

The colors turned out a little light, but the t-shirts still look pretty good! The Glamchildren thought they were fabulous so there you go... That's all that mattered.

Most of us watched the fireworks just down the street at Luke Air Force Base. I just watched the top of the fireworks from my front yard. Fun!

Hope you had a wonderful Forth!

WICKED

Mr. Fabulous bought us tickets to see the musical Wicked last night. I had seen it once before (and read the book ) and loved it. This time we splurged and got really good seats. We were four rows from the front and close to the middle of the theater. What a difference it makes when you can actually see the actors expressions and the amazing details on the costumes!
Thank you Mr. Fabulous !!!!!!!

WetnWild !!!!!!!!

We all got season passes to WetnWild and went to a special preview today. It was CROWDED !!! A lifeguard told Brooke that there are more season pass holders at WetnWild already than all the other water parks in Arizona combined !
We had a blast though and plan on getting our moneys worth by going a lot. Here is the map.
