Scaredy Cats

Jasper and Leah crack me up! They act all tough until the vacuum cleaner comes on and than they are total scaredy cats! They run up the stairs and watch from the safety of the landing while Bella barks her head off and attacks the vacuum cleaner. These pictures show them perfectly during vacuum time.

Ryan Won A Bike!

Ryan won a bike at school! I picked it up today on my way home from work. He and his dad put it together tonight. Ryan took the bike outside for a ride. Ed looked up and said, "Did he just leave barefoot?" Ty laughs and says, "Um Mom taught us how to ride a bike barefoot!" I laughed at the memory. Yep, they learned island style on Okinawa. No shoes, no helmet.....Ed was in Iraq and Leilani and i taught them how to ride without training wheels. They did great and had no crashes or injuries and survived!!! Sure enough Ryan came back in barefoot! 

Smile Bella

Victoria has been missing her sweet Bella. I thought i would take a couple pictures of her to send to Vicki. Bella didn't quite understand the definition of smile, or maybe this IS how she smiles! I'll never know....

Adrian Is Home!!!

YAY!!! Got the text and photo from Victoria that Adrian is home!!!  She is such a happy girl! I am so happy for her! Six months is a long time in your first year of marriage and she rocked it like a pro! 

Desert Baseball

We headed out to catch a baseball game tonight, the Desert Mavericks. It was a bit windy and chilly but we had a great time! Ryan was picked to do a golf game in between innings and won free tickets for another game. Taylor was selected to race the bases. It was a really fun night. The mascot totally photo bombed us! Best picture of the night! The Mavericks won. Perfect night in the desert! AND i had a super yummy hot dog!!!

Disney Trivia Night

Tonight for mutual the YW were in charge. Kamryn decided to take charge of the activity. She did a fun Disney Trivia game night. Everyone had a great time! Teams were awarded extra points if they wore anything Disney. Loved wearing my ears tonight! 

Love The Ford

I love all the horses but Ford has been my favorite from day one. His bangs caught my attention and he has always been so sweet and affectionate. Sometimes too affectionate! He likes to chew on my hair and clothes! But he is my total buddy and i just adore him!

Angels Rangers Game

I am a Yankees/Boston fan, which Mr. Baseball, Ed, says is impossible, Ed is a Tigers fan, and Ty is an Angels fan. Ed and i have adopted the Angels while we are stationed down here in southern California and enjoy going to a few games every season. Our friends are from Texas and are obviously Ranger fans.  We thought it would be fun to hit a Angels/Rangers game this season. Tonight is the night that worked with all of our schedules.  It was hilarious with those three in their Rangers gear and us three in our Angels wear. We joked with people on how we had come as their protection.  The Angles won last night so our friends took a lot of fun teasing in their Texas apparel.....We arrived in Anaheim a few hours ahead of game time so we walked around Downtown Disney for a little bit.  Jennifer still has her foot in a cast so she had her little scooter to zip around in. It was hilarious!!! We headed over to the stadium about an hour before game time. Tonight they were giving away blankets. Perfect night for those, it was just a bit chilly!!!  It looked like there might be rain so i got us seats under the overhang. Thank goodness, because it did rain for a bit! No game delay though, yay!!!! The game got off to a rough start and the Angels never really pulled it together, so sadly they lost and now the series is tied 1-1. Boy was it a LONG game! We got home around 1;15. I think i am getting toooooooo old for these nights games, well atleast when it is a 2 hour drive home!!! But fun night with friends and Jennifer got to honk her pink horn a LOT!!!! Hahahahahahahahaha

We Are Not Off To A Baseball Game

We are off to the Angels/Rangers game tonight at Anaheim Stadium. I picked up Ty, Ryan, and Taylor early from school on my way home from work so we could get on the road for tonight's game. I work for the school district so the principal, assistant principal, secretary, etc know me. I'm in Angels clothes, Taylor comes in wearing all Rangers gear, Ty in Angels gear.......as we are walking out i say, "we are all off to doctors appointments, not tonight's Angels/Rangers game....' They all started cracking up saying have fun at those Dr's appointments, go Angles!!! Hahahahahahahaha

Beautiful Patch of Green

There is this nice beautiful patch of green grass where i work.....grass is not very abundant here in the desert......i walk thru it almost every day, just a few steps to remember what it feels like! 

Rookie Scare

Ed and i were in Victorville when he got a call from MCLBPD saying one of the horses was down and not getting up after they watched him for awhile and hit the horn a few times. We zipped straight home to check on the horses since everyone else with stable access was gone for the day. Was sooo relieved to see Rookie standing up and doing fine!!! Man, these horses stress me out!!! Rookie was born in 1997 and captured Oct 21, 1999. He is getting up there in years and his joints are not doing so well so it is taking him longer to get up these days. Poor guy.....love these guys, but like all animals, hate to see them grow old.

Ed Is NOT A Rangers Fan!

We came home to Ed's jeep looking like this.....silly friends having fun!

The High Roller

I added another wheel to the books today, this time the highest ferris wheel in the world! Poor Ty, facing his fear again!!! He did great though and it was a really fun ride! It took 30 minutes to go all the way around and the highest point was 550 feet. There were beautiful views. I saw what pools were the best on the strip and had no idea there was a gold course tucked away right there behind the strip!!! 

Updated My Pink Flamingo Visuals

I've always wanted to go into The Pink Flamingo. It seems like every tv show i watched in the 70's/80's when a main character had to go after a bad guy in Vegas it always seemed to be at The Pink Flamingo. I have now updated all my 70's visuals to 2016! 

Sprinkles In Vegas

Had no idea there was a Sprinkles in Vegas!!!  Sadly it is probably just as far from our house to Vegas as it is from our house to the Sprinkles in Beverly Hills!
