HI! I am back. WOW was it H-O-FRICKIN-T in Phoenix... 100 degrees all the time. I lived there for 20 years, but being away from it for a few doesn't prepare. UGH.

So I went back to Phoenix for my niece's HS graduation. Such fun! I almost died... no, really. My plane took off in San Diego, but the crew announced that we were circling because OH HAI? NONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS IN THE COCKPIT were working. Oh.. hm. Yay. Get back to us in 10? Oh how fun! They came then announced that we would have to discontinue the flight and land again in SD, but we were too heavy with fuel to land so needed to circle to burn off so we could land.

Me to SO-Boo: Really? This is how I go out? No... srsly?
So-BOO: Hush.
Me: SERIOUSLY?!?! You are worried about INSIDE VOICE right NOW?
SO-BOO: ::: eye roll:::

So, yeah. I lived. And kudos to Southwest airlines that handled all the re-flight transfers extremely well. And yes, no sarcasm. They did.

SO YAY I GOT TO PHX for my niece's grad... some pics... it is kelcy's (my niece) graduation

Okay this is my SO-BOO bobby and the grad's sister, little Lily. I posted for naming her, once upon an embreyo... I did the french braids.

This is the crime scene for the graduation, the field at the high school... 100 degrees and we had to be there at 5:30 although grad didn't start until 7:00 PM.. whew!


Be cool Lily.. wearing Daddy's sunglasses waiting for Sissy to graduate.

The food spread before graduation... preparty. Uhmm HAI COSTCO! I love your shrimp pasta!

The SO-BOO and me and the NEW GRADUATE... congrats miss Kelcy!


The after party... me hugging my graduate (ASU) of a week ago... Ryan. So much fun!

Great pics and so glad you didn't die on the airplane! Sounds like srsly scary stuff!

those are fab pics of you Anny. Congrats to your neice and wow Lily is a cutie.

You know, SO Boo had a Leif Garrett thing going on, did you ever notice?

He does.
Trust me.
You can because I *don't* put pineapple in MY lasagne.

100 degrees? Sitting outside? ugh
See, now if that were me, my hair would be all Amy Winehoused frizzed out mess.

Looks like fun Anny.
Now get back to work and stop all your partying woman.

What does that say, Dobson High?

The last time I was (or ever will be) in phoenix it was 122 degrees.
Dry heat, my ass. I was so sick from the heat.

Hats off to you for surviving graduation!
You don't even look wilted!
Nice shots.

Yay for graduating! Everyone looks so happy

What great pictures! You have beautiful people in your life, including yourself!

That looks like it was a lovely time. Less drinking than when your son graduated, but probably rightly so.

Thanks for sharing!

It really was so much fun, and yes Aurora, definitely less drinking this time around as it was a high school grad. Although, that didn't completely stop us

David - it is Pinnacle Peak HS. The Pioneers. Is alliteration mandatory when choosing a HS mascot? hmmm.

LOL at the Leif comment Jo. Leif then or now.... NO! Don't answer that!

Lily was such fun. I went to Costco for party supplies and gave her the box when I got home. Instantly it was a rocketship and then a race car and later a train! She was standing in it and went to step out but caught her foot on the top and tumbled onto the floor. She jumped straight up (thankfully she wasn't hurt), laughed, and said "I am a dumb blond!" She is only 3 and we have NO IDEA where she picked that up!

Your BOO is cute. Nice, kind eyes.

Looks like fun times!

GIMME A SHRIMP!

The little one wearing dad's shades so freakin cute!

Anny - The Fountain Hills Falcons!

So. Yes.

Congrat's to Kelcy! Little Lily is such a sweetheart, and I love the french braids!
Glad you had a good trip, Anny!

Great pictures, Anny, and you are gorgeous!

Nice Pictures, Anny. You and your guy make a nice couple. You sorta have that look-a-like thing going. I mean that as a compliment. You know, you look like you could be related. You know how people say that about realy close couples.

Anyway.

I just made a trade offer in fantasy baseball to you. I think it's a very fair offer. Check it out, please.

Congratulations Kelcy for your graduation!
