yesterday afternoon, Curtis & i had our follow-up appointment with Margaret! here's what Curtis got...

(my initial - wedding band)

& here's what i got...

(nose piercing)

both of us r super happy with everything! Curtis swore that this would probably b the only tattoo he'd ever get (his 1st)...he was nervous (totally scared of needles) so Margaret explained everything 2 him, promised 2 b gentle, then began...as soon as she started, Curtis goes "that's it?!" & b4 we even left the shop, he was talking about what other tats he may want in the future! ;0)

soooo, i'm totally missing SYTYCD!
(been a crazy couple of weeks!)

i missed last week's episodes, & then did it again this week! that's y i haven't updated u guys since June...but i did catch the tail end of the show on Wednesday - where they briefly show a snippet from each routine...then i caught the end of last night's show - right as they were deciding who'd go home

can u believe my boo Phillip is gone?! well, i can...even tho he's an AMAZING dancer, it didn't take long 2 realize he just wouldn't b able 2 keep up with the other trained dancers...but he definitely held his own! & they even made an exception last nite - telling us that both Phillip & Caitlin (the girl that was cut) would b able 2 join the tour, along with the top 10 that r left! so, that's cool! here's a video of Phillip in action...i'm sure he'll go on 2 do great things!



my new fav, Brandon, is still in it...hopefully i'll b able 2 catch the shows next week & then follow along 4 the rest of the competition!

& now, a garden update...

our Big Boy tomatoes r coming - still small & green...but they'll get there

& check out the baby squash!

the Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes r EVERYWHERE! still green, but plentiful!

the pepper plants r slowly moving along, but at least we haven't had any more critters eating at em

& the cucumber vines r taking off!

we're loving it!
well, the girls & i r anyway ;0)

oh, & guess what...that ugly bush in our yard that we're about 2 cut down?

it blooms pretty purple flowers!

we're still cutting it down tho!
;0)

we've got a busy weekend planned!

2nite is the final nite of VBS (at another community church - our church's VBS will happen while we're at the beach)...the kiddos will give a little performance & then we'll all have a picnic 2gether - should b fun!

then, i'm finishing up not only Jaden's birthday cake 4 his party 2moro, but i'm also working on 1 very special order 4 Miss Jennifer (aka, 1 of the cake sisters)...Jaden's party is 2moro afternoon, followed by some swimming (pray the rain stays away!!!)...unfortunately, Curtis works both days this weekend - but at least he'll get 2 celebrate with us b4 heading in 2moro

& we might take the kiddos 2 the movies on Sunday (b4 Curt goes in2 work), but we'll see...Jaden really wants 2 see Ice Age 3, so we might do it as a bday treat...but my house also really needs some attention - it's bad enuff as it is now...after 2nite's all night cake decorating session & then 2moro's party chaos, i'm sure by Sunday it'll b way overdue!

i hope u guys have a fabulous weekend!
enjoy every second of it!!!
