Happy Pink Saturday!

What a beautiful Pink Saturday waking up to overcast skies and wind. Oh how I love days like this. They certainly don't happen often enough for this gal in the valley of burning heat.
If you want to join in or find other Pink Saturday gals in blogland check out Beverly's Blog How Sweet The Sound . She is our lovely host every Saturday.
Since getting a comment from sweet Scrappy Girl saying she was wanting to scrap got me thinking I DO TOO! Then I started going through my drawers of scrapbook paper and the Pinks that I have. So many but I will just share a few. These are two of the newest ones. The back one is Pink flowers on a almost plastic clear page. It isn't velum it is thicker. The front one has the darker Pink is raised. So pretty!
One of my very favorite new papers fit for a queen
Also after looking around the internet found a few more of my Pink shoe passion to share. This one would be great to wear with a cute pair of jeans, shorts or a skirt out running around.
This one I can see going to out dinner with your honey wearing a beautiful dress similar in the fuchsia color

This one reminded me of Lady GaGa. Just love these shoes for a great night out dancing in a cute little dress.

It has started to rain here in Arizona. It is so welcomed and needed. Hope you all have a great Pink Saturday!
Hugs, Bobbi Jo

It has been a while since I joined in on Extreme Makeover: Me Edition. If you want to  join in visit Amber at {aeflinkins} blog    
 The Question for this week is "What are you successes this week?"
I have been doing really good. Working out and eating clean. I am doing at least 1/2 hour cardio a day and loving it! I am also still doing the weight lifting and seeing progress there.
As of August 17th I have lost 14 lbs. I was at the same weight for almost a month and then finally broke through.
I have lost 1/2 in. on my neck, 1/2 in. each arm, 2 in. on chest, 1-1/2 in. chest, 3in. my belly, 2-1/2 in. waist, 1 in. on hips, 1 in. on each thigh, 1/2 in. on each calf.
 I am so happy about all the loss I have had. I am feeling so much better mentally and physically it is amazing.
Hope everyone is having a great week. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Blog I Have a Blog?

What the heck happened to me I almost forgot I had a blog. Okay not really. Life just got in the way and I didn't post. I think this is the longest I have gone without posting on this blog.
I"m baaaaaack!
As I said life has been busy I have been working on things around the house and the week just got away from me.
Elyse's basketball games are twice a week with practices on the other days. She is really enjoying the practices and realizing she is a lot better than she thought. Great self esteem boost.
Faith has decided to run for the student council for President. She was very busy making her campaign posters and writing her speech. She will be reading her speech this Friday. The classes will then vote and results are to be announced in the afternoon. She made this hat as her thing to attract attention to get votes:

Coco, Kyle and Talmage came down Sunday morning to pack up the rest of the items from their room here and finish up the things from their house. It was so good to see them. I sure miss them being around here.
I had to take a couple, okay maybe almost 100 pictures of Talmage. He is so cute and fun. It is amazing how entertaining the little guy is. These were taken yesterday at lunch time. The boy loves the camera.
Such a happy little man!

This one I was trying to teach him how to do a taco with his tongue. Too funny!

I was sorry to see them go but they had to get back up to Pinetop before dark.
Spent yesterday moving around the office from our bedroom down to the den that Coco, Kyle and Talmage were using as their room.
Today I pulled out appliances from kitchen to do a thorough cleaning. I also did a major cleaning in our great room. From ceiling fan, high window down to couch cushions. Gotta love a super clean room. Feels so much better in there.
Still working on moving furniture around in our bedroom and getting the office set up and organized.
I will be around to check out blogs later on. I better get back to work.
Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Gabby Is Itching

Thank you to everyone with the prayers and well wishes for Gabby and her Shingles. This is a picture of her yesterday eating dinner. Sorry it isn't a great quality I took it with my phone. She put on her snow gloves to keep her from itching herself. She has been wearing them to bed too. She is such a dork! But that is part of her charm.
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. This weekend went by too fast but it has been a good one.
Ready for a new starting of the week. Gonna make it a great one. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Happy Pink Saturday!

Here in the valley of the heat sun it is a wonderful day it is actually raining! Woo Hoo! What better way to start out a Pink Saturday! My theme this week is Wheels that are Pink! Some day I will have the Pinkness on wheels I deserve.So lets get on with the Pinks!

Last week my sweet bloggy friend Scrappy Girl said she was having something Pink on her blog Four Season Farm for me. She put the cation that she found my dream ride. Little did she know I have been telling my kiddos I wanted a Pink Escalade . And here it is. Isn't it just beautiful. I can see myself in that the perfect Mommy Taxi!

This was my dream car growing up a pretty Pink Corvette

This is a nice little Pink vehical to cruse around town The Hummer

Now what gal wouldn't want to ride in a Pink Hello Kitty car I think it is a Ferrari

Then we have the classic pale Pink Thunderbird

This would be a groovey ride a Pink Volkswagon Van

I know I have posted this many time but my ultimate ride the Pink Harley Davidson Herritage Softail.

It gives me goosebumps!

Not for crusing around in but this is such a beautiful Pink on wheels I would love to have this in my backyard.

Not wheels but I had to add my festish with shoes on this Pink Saturday! I love these they look like Pirate boots. A girl would look good getting out of any of the vehicles with these beauties on or cooking at the grill.

Have a great Pink Saturday! Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Crazy Thing And What I Miss

 Hey there everyone. I have been missing in blog action. But I am here now!
This morning Gabby had a small rash on her tummy so I put some anti itch cream on her and she went to school. I told her to check in with the nurse if it got itchy again. So she went in before school and got some more anti itch cream and the nurse told her to come back at lunch so she could check it. Gabby goes in at lunch time and the nurse calls me to pick her up and have her checked out.
  I take her to Urgent Care to have her checked. The doctor looks at the rash and says she has the udult form or chickenpox Shingles. What? She is only 8 years old. So we got her on the antibiotics, Motrin and Benydryl for the itch and pain. These Shingles show only on one side of the body. It is crazy! Poor little Gabby she is trying so hard not to itch and there isn't much she can do.
  Now for what I miss. I miss this little buddy of mine  and is wonderful personality that makes everyone smile.

              And them around our house. They are struggling with decisions right now please pray for them.
                              I love you Coco, Kyle and Talmage and miss you more than you know.
I can't believe that tomorrow is Friday already. This week has flown by. I will try harder to keep up on my blog and stay up with the wonderful days of accomplishing things with you other beautiful ladies.
  Hugs, Bobbi Jo

She's A Cougar

E'lyse got home from basketball practice last night and was so excited to have gotten her uniform. So she is now an official cougar. The first game is in 3 weeks so there will be practices Monday through Thursday to get them ready.
She is such a ham! Hugs, Bobbi Jo

My BFF

 

A while back on Facebook my BFF from Grade school and I were reconnected. Now lets back up a bit.

  Tracy and her family moved in across the street and a house down from me. We became friends and were almost inseparable till we went to Jr. High. At that point we had different friends and didn't hang out that much.

We graduated from High School and she got married in 1985 and that was the last I had talked with her. 

I tried to find her through different avenues but no luck till Facebook. So glad it happened!

Today we met at Mimi's Cafe at the Chandler Fashion Mall. I walked in and used the bathroom seeing a lady in a table near there but I didn't know what she looked like. And then she came up front and found me. 

We had a great lunch. I must say the company was way better than the food. It was to catch up on 24 years of our lives. Talking, laughing and laughing more. It was so much fun! 

I missed Tracy and so glad to have her back in my life .

Thank you Tracy for your freindship. I love you. 

Stay in touch with friends they are so impotant. Hugs, Bobbi Jo
