Been MIA !!

Hi my Prims,
I am so sorry I have been MIA for awhile. We have been very busy from Graduation to having our oldest furbaby Mocha in the hospital.

So, our youngest graduated from HS! Here are some pictures of that.

This is my husband's father...Matt's grandfather that bought him a 2000 gold camry and it is beautiful and I will take some pictures of his car and do a post to show you.
It has been great for him to go to work and then he will be going to college at the end of August.....so will our oldest son. He took some time off and he decided to go back to college. We are thrilled that he made this decision on his own.

He wanted to go to his favorite place after graduation and it was the Cheese Cake Factory.

The food there is wonderful.
So then we put up our gazebo I was telling you all about.
Here are a few pictures.....

These are the light above our gazebo and it is really pretty at night. We are really enjoying our gazebo this summer.

Then it was father's day and my FIL came over and I baked him his FAVORITE dessert  APPLE PIE!

Then I decorated the gazebo for Father's Day!

I am these for the root beer.

We played some games if you can tell and a lot of laughs.

Pop rocks and root beer hard candy and it says Dad's root beer and then some mints.

I am SO BLESSED to have a husband like him. My hubby is a fabulous Dad and Husband I am truly a lucky girl to have found such an amazing man like him.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!XOXOXO!!!!

Here is on e of my garden's.

My homemade apple pie with ice cream.......everyone LOVED it!!!!

Then a homemade pizza I made 2 of them and a salad YUMMO!

Oh, I forgot I bought my hubby a new grill. The HUGE one I bought him many years ago just had enough so I bought him a smaller one because our sons are both in and out and doing different things so it really is just my hubby and I for the most part which I am having a little hard time with.

Here is the new grill...

He loves it!
Okay now about our furbaby Mocha who is 15 yrs. old he was sick and then he was in a lot of pain and we took him to the Graton Animal Hospital and they said he had a slip disk and it would heal so we went home and I kept him on his pain medication and quiet but 10 days he got really bad and crying in pain off we went back to the hospital and they told us that he would need surgery to take care of his disk and then told us how much it would be almost $5,000 and we said do it(thank goodness for credit cards)
well we got home at 1:00 am and then Mocha had his surgery and it took them 3 hours and then Mocha was in the ICU for 2 days and then we just picked him up today and he is doing GREAT. We thought we were going to have to put him down and my hubby and I DON'T and WON'T play God.
If we just have him for another year or 2 it is worth the money.
Mocha has given us such joy and love. Everyone there fell in love with Mocha.

Here is Mocha today.....

These are staples and he will be getting those out in 10 days.

Please if you could say a prayer for Mocha to heal that would be wonderful.
It is so great to have him back. We missed him a lot.

I forgot to show you the small graduation party Matt wanted a few friends over.

He had a ball with his friends.

So there you have it.
BUSY!!!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by my Prims.
Summertime Blessings,

So you will see more pictures of Matt, after his graduation and pictures of the family. Matt's Papa, Matt's brother Steven and Steven's  girlfriend Megan, and of course Dad and I!! Then we are going out for a celebration dinner and gifts and because he graduated his Papa bought him a Camry car fully loaded so he his sooooo excited and for college. It is not brand new but it is to him. An older lady owned it and it looks brand new.

Now I am going to show you a few things that I love to buy. No it is not prims or colonial items, I am still a girly girl and I love bath and body works.

Yes hand soap in every bathroom and a little candle this one is strawberry. I LOVE it.
Here are some more hand soaps I bought.

On of the apples foam and the other one has little beads in it.

This is a cover I bought for them.

The strawberry smells fabulous. It is almost gone...SEE,

Here it is in the cover....

Now here are hand soaps for your purse...

Here little holders that you can put your small hand soap in then you clip in on the outside of your purse. I forgot to show you my pink cat that is on my purse but here are a few more I bought....

The monkey is SO cute!

Now here are the large candles I buy form them all the time. When they go on sale for 2/$22.00 and then I always have a $10.00 off coupon anything over $30.00 and I always get 3 large candles, but our favorites is the fall scents and the Christmas scents and then I stock up.

I bought 2 of these large ones and it smells WONDERFUL!

Also I bought 2 of these as well. Frosted cake smells SO yummy!!!
If you buy these candle when they are not on sale they are $19.99 and I will NOT spend that on a candle.

It was perfect for Springtime and Summer.
