We love the art studio

If was sooooooo hot that Bryan actually agreed to go to the UNhappiest place on earth to be in the a/c. The art classes are a lot of fun and the artist break it down into small steps so our pictures look like something.

I found a way to save money

Kirby (the wonderful) cleaned my carpet beautiful and got the dog smell out amd we hope will help a lot with Christina's allergies
since noboby sleeps in their own bed I should sell Christina's and the dog's beds. Since Daniel pulls the sheets off every night I'll sell that too! All that should bring me to about $8.....

Best Birthday gift Kirby Sentria

I got a early birthday gift this year and wow! I am in love. ok so it's a vacuum and before anyone votes my huband jerk of the year I wanted it. I needed a carpet shampoo machine because I have 2 dogs and 2 kids enough said ... right?
My husband bought me me a Kirby it is a vacuum carpet cleaner and a title - hard floor cleaner.
The vacuum has the most awsome suction it picks up eveything which is great if your kids have allergies. He salesman vacuumed my house with my vacuum and then the Kirby and oh wow it picked up sooooooo much then we did the bed I couldn't belive all the yuck dead cell bed mites ofcourse my son got out his microsope to check it all out
the thing even has a massage attachment - which ofcourse is even more important than the dry shampoo attachment that removed the pet ordor

We went on a date !

I know big shock we ended up at Disneyland but that is because this was where we had our first date Oct. 23, 1991 !!!!!

Time to relax

I have been trying to me in the moment and not stress about the furture. I want to enjoy my childrens youth and not be the crabby mom worried about everything I can't control. God wants me to relax in HIS arms and just KNOW that He is God. HE is in control and doesn't need my help..... what ? (I have to be in control and everything must be in my calendar and planned ) WRONG God said be still and KNOW that I am God.
I still try to control things every now and then but I am learning !
I am out of a job AGAIN (mortgage need I say more) but I know God has a plan and I pray super loud that it's not in that field but I trust if I am still and calm God will lead. He is a gentle - man He does not force Himself. I come to the end of myself and then I let God but I am learning to LET GO and LET GOD

Yosemite

we saw 3 bears thru-out the week only a couple feet away they are so beautiful. We also got very close to a dear (I feed it cheez it's out of my hand)


This is a scarey thought my dad lets my son chop wood (and has been for some time) am I the only one who sees the ax coming straight for his left foot?


No worries Daniel informs me that he is wearing shoes! what ? sometimes my 12 year old is not the sharpest tool and I am wondering about my dad's judgment Thank God nothing happen -this trip!


So in the middle of this beautiful place is hotels, stores and resturants what I even saw a ice skating rink? what happen to untouch nature? at least the pizza was good :)



They are almost the same size - wow they are both a mens 13 shoe and Daniel doesn't seem to be done growing yet

















Good help is so very hard to find - after sleeping on the ground for a week we all needed a massage







I love the self timer on my camera I hate asking people to take our picture and then praying they don't take off with my camera


















Yes I ate badly - but it was good










Christy was the "Molly home maker" even in the dirt

























So these pants went in the trash once I saw the picture I look like I gained 70 pounds ( the pizza was good but I didn't eat that much )




























my daughter wants a horse soooooooo bad she just loves them - so to keep my good name as most awsome mother - I let her know that the city we live in is not zoned for livestock - blame the city! this mom can pick her battles limit the times you have to say no to your child
