On monday June 15 , I went out to Johnny Corinos for dinner to celebrate Yoslina and Sapna's Birthdays w friends and people from work! It was really fun i remember since i am way over due on this event i have to think about the night. Both of the girls work at Macys but we work in different departments. I think this is the first time i went out w such a huge party, they each had there own friends ad family come. I do remember that i arranged it. It ended up turning out to be a great evening. when we left the restraunt the four of us Girls Sapna, me ad her two sisters took pics outside yes we are silly girls and wanted to get some good memories on digital film. and than we all went over to Yoslinas house in Boise for a bit, all of us girls took some pics outside the house, till it was time to go home.

In the end of May i went to the Taylor Swift concert with my older sister Erica ad my little baby sister Rebecca(she won't like i refered to her has baby). It was the first time i had been to a concert since i thik the american Idol concert years ago and than in high school. This was the best concert i have been too! I just love Taylor Swift! My friend Kim has a pic w her and Taylor before she was so popular.I felt we had really good seats. it was fun doing somethig as sisters. I thik my younger sister was sad she wasn't there w her friends i guess who wants to hang out w a bunch of old people(to a teenager) at a concert. It was also her first concert ad i tried to get her to stand up and wave her arms and to cheer! She just looked at me funny so i pulled her up and grabbed her arms as she just laughed at me like i was just silly and like we were a bunch of weirdos.

4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup water
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Ground cinnamon, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
