HA HA HA!!! Don’t panic! I wasn’t shopping for me! LOL I am out on getting a swimming suit this summer considering I will be feeling and looking like a beached whale! LOL I took the girls shopping for new suits the other night since it’s been YEARS since they’ve had new ones! Bailee has a “school’s out” swim party at her friend’s clubhouse tomorrow and then this weekend they are heading to Orange Beach with their Dad and Renee for the long weekend. I would have been seriously embarrassed had they been caught wearing the small and tattered suits 
they’ve been wearing! Anyway… Target has a HUGE and AWESOME selection of suits for girls on sale right now. I got all three of these for under $35.00!!!! BARGAIN!!!! YAY! The green one is Bailee’s! Love the little blinged out anchor on hers! The pink one is Macey’s. Complete with matching skirt. A PERFECT Macey suit. And then the black & pink one is Cassidy’s… matches her spunky little attitude! They were pretty darn excited to get these cause I think the reality of Summer being here finally kicked in! Like I’ve said before…. I am glad school’s out…. but ask me again about that in a few weeks! HA HA HA!
Here’s a couple of photos that Renee took for me at Bailee’s 5th grade advancement yesterday! Thanks Renee! I’m so stinkin’ proud of this girl and what a good student and person she is. She made A-B Honor Roll like she always has but she was also awarded a plaque that was a citizenship award. I guess each 5th grade teacher got to chose one student that stood out in their treatment and respect of their peers, teachers, and community. I am so proud of you Bailee! ♥
One last thing to share before I get busy with stuff around the house. My cousin Aaron got married last weekend to his new bride Lee and I made this for my Aunt Rena to give them as a gift. I sent it to her and then she put it in a beautiful black frame. One of my favorite things to do is make a keepsake frame using the wedding/engagement photos and announcements I receive. They make perfect wedding gifts! And it’s way more personal than a blender off the ole registry. LOL I made this several weeks ago but haven’t been able to share it until I knew they actually saw it first! Congrats Aaron & Lee! Wish I could have been there!
Happy Hump Day! It’s officially summer here! Yay!!!! ♥

Swimsuits are so cute! I have an officially retired pregnancy swimsuit if you want it. It’s even black with just a little white, just like Shamu! Swimming is the best when you are preggers even if you feel like a whale. So cool and relaxing, let me know!
I love the wedding announcement momento. I am thinking I might have to send my gift to my friends after their wedding. I have their announcement but they sent no pic. I can surprise them later instead after I get a pic myself.

Congratulations, Bailee, in getting your awards and advancing to 6th grade. We are very proud of you!! And all you granddaughters will look so “COOL” in your new swim suits! Have a fun weekend at Orange Beach! Shanna, you should also get you a swim suit and enjoy the AZ sun! If you get a chance to head over Gilbert way, I know my family would love to see you and the kids.

Congrats on your scoring some deals at Target, I found some deals at Gymboree Outlet in vicksburg yesterday that has been putting a smile on my face all day, I averaged $6 on the items of course 4 were the $1 bows that matched the outfits which helped my average, but it was a really great shopping day, I finished scholl shopping for Faith and the boys.I love the swimsuits at Target for girls they are super cute and made outta sturdy material. good luck this summer with all the craziness of doing it all in 2 months.
