contagious celebration."

Yesterday Mariah and me happy to be a part
of LA DANSE'S  CELEBRATION
at their  27th annual dance recital.
Check out her 2 gone teeth on the bottom,
... also worth celebrating!

One of Mariah's best little buddies, DREW,
performed in La Danse's show.
Mariah shared a rainbow colored rose
with her at intermission...
in celebration of her 2 fun dances! 

A beautiful picture of Jana and her DAD...

Capturing more family FUN at our
Father's Day CELEBRATION yesterday! 

Here is BEAU and he still loves a balloon
whether we are CELEBRATING or not...
this was him having fun yesterday with my brother Brian! 

Mariah and Beau doing their own little
FUN CELEBRATION
in front of the TV and Shuffle's kennel
 last night during the
Much Music Video Awards on TV!
(Mariah is wearing one of her mommy's old dance costumes here)

It is always FUN for me to craft a card and or create a poem...
here is just one of the few I did this weekend for
 my FATHER- IN- LAW, Greg,
For  the FATHER'S DAY Celebration!

My friend, LINDA and me, always make a CELEBRATION
 out of having having a little FUN STARBUCKS!
It is tradition for us to capture each one in a photo, too,
and this weekend was no exception when
she came for a little girlfriend bond!

Here we are Celebrating the only good weather of the weekend
out on our deck for a little fun and yummy sushi! 

Linda and I both attended this CELEBRATION.
This is a far away photo of the AEDAN'S ARTS BENEFIT
held on Saturday night in the city.
Kelly and his helper, Erin, put together an amazing
event that raised $11,000.00
 for the family on the right holding their baby AEDAN.
It was a FUN CELEBRATION, for sure.

Friday night Brian and I were invited to
a house warming party for friends,
Cal and Julie.
Although the weather was crazy,
it didn't stoop us from more fun !

the heavens above this fine
FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND!

My little quote on my
Mary Engelbreit calendar says this today...
"Music is love in search of a word."
-Sidonie Gabrielle


This is a perfect quote to thread the many things in my life together
as I head towards the next
fun celebration
which is the JAZZ FESTIVAL
beginning later this week!



On that NOTE...
my rhyme of the day!


I had a fun weekend,
so full of highlights,
So much to do from
the mornings to nights!
From parties with friends,
and a sleepover, too,
With days filled right up,
and so much to do!
Father's Day wishes
to dads all around,
MY DAD up above...
and those here on the ground.
Dance and Arts shows
for very good reasons,
Going through weather
of so many seasons!
My life is sure one that
makes me feel blessed,
The loved ones I hang with
are truly the best.
When there's lots going on
in my life everywhere,
I love to be able to
show and to share!
My weekend was surely
a one filled with fun,
Right from the start
until it was done!
I sure felt the LOVE from the
ANGELS above...
ANGELS all around
were sharing their LOVE!
