Okay so I have been a bad Blogger I know I know!!! I will now try to catch everyone up!!!

July 17th

I went to Chicago for a wholesale trade showand I got to ride the subway at night

my flight was delayed in Denver so I got on the subway

at 12:00 midnight to ride 1 hour into downtown Chicago

Then I got to ride another hour out of the city

It was amazing not really the best time to ride the subway

into the inner city but what a story I have to tell

This is the subway map

I did see the Sears tower from the subway on my

way home Sunday and I'm pretty sure I saw the house where

the cute boy in the movie "Step Up" lived--really --
And on opening night I saw this movie with Diane!!!

I loved it and last night i went and saw it again with my

girls and my Mom and Jan--it was great!!

This was the view out of my window--it rained there 1 day

and the rest of the time it was hot like a sauna!!

I saw many people who are big in the scrapbook industry
and that is always fun and I got to talk with Renee Pearsons husband

Kent whose blog I enjoy!! http://kentpearson.typepad.com/
And I got a free signed copy of Ali Edwards new Mini Albums book

Then when i got home

Ty Turned sweet 16 on July 21st

here's the party attendees they are so grown up

And Kurt got a new bike finally

He looks great on it too and fast

the boys riding at riverfront---Brent is back for the summer!!
