I have been promising to share my layouts that I did with Gigi.. Well here are two of them and I will post the other two tomorrow..I am so glad Gi and I have found time to create together.. I always get more down when I scrap with friends.. We are going on vacation next week and I hope to get some scrappin done while we are away..
I love these beach and pool pictures the colors are so vibrant and I love my glitter stars on the second lo.. have a great night.

What I see out my door.....

This picture makes me happy!! Yes it is alot of laundry but I do not mind because I see bathing suites that were on my coppertone kids all day. I see laughing, smiling kids jumping in the pool. Brothers playing together and one crazy girl learning how to swim. Speaking of this crazy girl she is really into getting her picture taken lately and this picture just cracked me up! She is too funny

This was week 4 of summer and it was a busy one:

*mcflurrys with friends

*I came down with a summer cold. boo

*Sil and her kids came over to go swimming

* my mom and sis came over with her kids to go swimming

Hope all your summer wishes are coming true.

Your an all star get your game on...

As many of you know we are a yankee family here and the all star game this year is in NY.. The boys were so excited to watch the homerun derby tonight on tv. Can't wait to catch the game tomorrow night.. I took this picture of Joe and me on his birthday, when I was editing it I could not believe how much he looks like Anthony's sister Theresa. They have the same smile! We'll we had a mellow week 3 here at the Laudati house.
*Joey turned 7 and his cousin Brandon spent the night at our house. they had a great time playing together
*The boys started camp and love it
*there was a lot of fighting going on at our house
*heard MOM he's bothering me one to many times
*Heard I am bored from Paul more times than I wanted too
*got creative with my pal Gigi (will post lo soon)
*marathon walked with Lisa again
*our wonderful babysitters had a graduation party(jenn from collage and Michelle from highschool)
*had good friends over to swim and eat..
*mourned the loss of a true Yankee
So sad to hear that Bobby Murcer died on sat. Anthony and I were very upset to hear that he lost his fight with brain cancer. I loved to listen to him announce yankee games. He just seemed like a very nice man. Hope you all have a great week and remember to document what you do this week.
