HAPPY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND TO U ALL!

I hope you all have a wonderful long 4th of July weekend....








During this time remeber to reflect on your freedoms...




Remember that many many people have died to give you those freedoms..and to protect us....Pray for our fallen soldiers and veterans....pray for our soldiers that are currently serving our country and to pray for those sholdier's families as well.








God Bless you all and God Bless the U.S.A..

Canada, Mexico and the US - one nation? WHAT?!

Okay - yesterday I heard that the government is talking about letting our borders down at our north and our south creating a new Nation out of the three - what they plan to call it I don't know but they are even discussing creating a new CURRENCY! AHHH! They are calling it a partnership right now... WE NEED TO BE PROTECTING OUR BORDERS RIGHT NOW - not OPENING THEM UP!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

What the hell is going on? I don't know how everyone else feels - but I come from a family that has fought for our freedoms and the freedoms of others in 4 wars and I am pissed that they want to let our borders down.... I hope there are enough concerned citizens to stop this idea before it overgrows!!

WOW is that BRITNEY??

Okay! So I know that she is always the trash talk of everyone and she make some really stupid decisions... but you can't really knock these pics...

She looks beautiful!!!

Even though she was airbrushed all over (who in what mag isn't now adayz) - these pics are gorgeous! You can't deny that...

Thumbs up to the photo shot directors and the photographer too!

P.S. I hope she never bleaches her hair again - the brown suits her much better!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

We found out Monday night we have another baby girl on the way.... My brother-in-law's wife is expecting a little girl in November! We were all a little suprised by the news because there is a loooooong line of boys in the family.... SO YAY for another girl on the way!

My best friend is due to have her little girl Angela in 33 days!! Her sister-in-law is due to have a girl a month after... and that girl's sister is also having a girl TODAY! WOW!

My sister-in-law said when she went for her ultrasound the lady told her all 4 of the women before her appointment were also having girls...HMMM.... Maybe there is something in the water out here.... LOL!

San Diego is expecting a heat wave to start today and head into next week.... I will have to turn on the misters for the animals and double check thier waters everyday.... Tumbleweed like iced water - I guess it is that time of year for her special water again...

We will be VERY very busy the next few days! Tonight we are going to Sea World, tomorrow we are going to the County Fair! YAY! Tomorrow night we will be celebrating my father in law's birthday and Sunday we have our good friends, Janet and John's wedding to attend.... BUSY BUSY!

SAY, "CHEESE!"

Here is my Nephew posing for me... Can you tell he is saying cheese?






Then he suddenly corrolated "cheese" with the cheese balls he was eating.... so he decided to pose with them....still saying "cheese" of course!

Here he is conducting the music on... "All Dogs go to Heaven"... I am not sure where he learned this... pretty cute, eh?

I'm Back....but not really here yet

Oahu was a BLAST! BUSY BUSY BUSY!
I am glad to be back home in our beautiful city....HOME SWEET HOME!!

I am back and at work today but don't really feel HERE yet - my head is still in Hawaii - I needed about 3 more days there...

I will post some pics and what we did everyday there soon.

Right now I have alot of work to do! I am glad i only scheduled to work a half day today - I couldn't do more than that...

LAST DAY OF WORK! hip hip horay!

Welp it is my last day at work...yay! It has been SUPER crazy so far, but that makes it go really REALLY fast - BUSY BUSY BUSY and my partner here called in sick today! AHHHH! that means even more to get done before the day is up... AHHH! That is the way life goes I guess... when you are under pressure there always seems to be something else that comes up to bog you down more....

OH WELL!

I will be half way to Oahu this time tomorrow! That will be so nice and refreshing! That thought will get me through the day with a smile! :-)

We are ALL packed and ready to go!

I sure can use the break! My hubby too! R&R is a WONDERFUL THING! I can't wait to hear the waves and smell all the tropical flowers. I can't wait to be a fish for a week too...

I will be bummed when it is time to leave Hawaii and come back home... But OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO COME HOME TO....
AMERICA'S FINEST CITY!
SUNNY SAN DIEGO!

I will miss my dog terribly too! She might miss me even more... So coming home will be nice for that reason too.

HAPPY Retirement MOM!

My Momma's last day of work!

Boy she sure look happy!

HEY! She is too young to retire!

I hope I can do like she did... :-)

Love you mom!

Dreaming of Hawaii

I can't wait to snorkel in that warm water... I am well rehearsed - I have been practicing in our swimming pool... :-) I hope to see a few turtles and swim with them...

Our last trip to Maui I was privlidged to swim with three HUGE (8-10 feet long) sting rays for about 20 minutes or so....I was soooooo bummed I didn't have my underwater cam with me for that one.... Oh well! The image and experience is in my head FOREVER! :-)

We're almost there...

3 more days til we are back in paradise! :-)

I am sooo looking forward to watching the sunsets with my honey!

HELLO! The parties were a Smash! I will have to post some pics when I get some time! My Stepdad's Retirement party was fun fun! I have never seen Greg happier! :-) it was nice...
afterwards - we went to my sister's a while and visited.

Andrea's Party was fun too - the sun was out and it was a beautiful day! We had a TON of food! There was 3 tables FULL of food and some more on the counter tops - everyone enjoyed! I took lots of pics... Andrea got a TON of little baby clothes for Angela - she said she filled her closet up already :-)

Yesterday Ryan and I did alot of shopping and ran errands to get ready for our big trip... we were busy busy all day long - I still have a couple loads of laundry to do and then pack the rest of our bags and we will be READY! 3 more days..... YAY! I can't wait to get in the warm water there and to SNORKEL!

BUT I'm NOT! LOL!

Tumbleweed - On Top of the World!

My Baby Girl :-) Happy as ever!

HAPPY FRIDAY!


It is a wonderful Friday! We are on our way to Hawaii in just 5 days now! SO COOL!
Oahu here we come... We have been counting down the days since day 45...

We will be meeting up with my father out there for Father's Day weekend...quite a treat being I have only spent one other Father's Day with my Dad before. I am really excited to see my Dad! I haven't seen him in almost 2 years - when my husband and I were married. My Dad is paying for us to fly out there... it is a graduation gift to me since he couldn't make it out for my graduation... We haven't been to the island of Oahu yet - we went to Maui before!

I LOVED MAUI! we both did! Oahu will be much different, not like the laid back, country like atmosphere Maui provides...Maui doesn't even have a freeway. Oahu is more like the booming city, San Diego we are from... My dad always goes to Oahu...he likes it there a lot...so does my boss - that is her island of choice when she travels to Hawaii....I feel a little bad leaving my stepdad and father-in-law behind and missing thier special day for Dads - but we will celebrate with them the following weekend... What is a holiday anyways, but just another day... we have everyday of our lives to celebrate with and honor our love ones.....

This evening we will be going to a Retirement Party for my Stepdad, Greg.... he is retiring from being a teacher and they are throwing him a BIG Shibang! Get this...it is a Luau at a Mexican Place.... hee hee hee! I got a kick out of that! The party starts at 4:30 and unfortunately - I work til 4:30 and the party is 30-40 minutes away so my husband and I are rushing home, changing quickly and heading out... we will get there about 5:15 or so right when they serve dinner - so that is cool! It should be a fun night.

Tomorrow my Best Friend is having her second baby shower...her Little Baby Angela will be here so soon now! I just can't wait to see her! WE are ALL VERY anxious! :-)

Have a great day! :-)
