Senior Jeans

Yesterday I went to help my friend Ginny make "Senior Jeans" with Logan. Ginny has been a nanny for Logan's family for over 10 years and so while Logan's parents were out of town for the weekend her Mom asked Ginny to help Logan with her jeans. Ginny didn't have "Senior Jeans" at her high school and was a little nervous about the undertaking so I volunteered my skills! Logan will be a Senior at Highland Park High school this year and is part of the Golf team. She helped us plan the jeans but didn't have too much interest in the actual making of the jeans so Ginny and I were left to our own ideas! We looked at pictures on facebook of several of the other girls jeans for inspiration but made sure that Logan's jeans were unique and a representation of her!

The finished pocket
(Apparently SKA=Seniors Kick A** and is important to have on the jeans!)

Hope you enjoy your "Senior Jeans" Logan! Can't wait to see pictures of you in the jeans!!!

Lakehouse

Gregg's sister, Wendi, came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. We went to the Lakehouse for the weekend to meet up with Gary, Macy, and Lilly to relax and enjoy our time together! We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the lake (despite the water being really low!)

The last time we were out at the lake the boys went and bought a new tube to ride in. This tube is cylinder and requires you to crawl into it and then curl yourself up into a little ball. Then the tube rotates around and spins!

So, the boys felt the need to ride in the tube while we were this time around! Macy, Lilly and I hung back at the dock, played in the water and laughed at Gregg as he spun and bounced around!
