I did it, I think.

Okay, So Im not good at getting the pictures where I want them. Here's Ronnie, He is my little swimmer, and never has a shirt on. He is always in some kind of water, and some times, it is "hot water."












Okay, lacy on the beach. She loves sun glasses, as does her mother. We buy new pairs often together. She likes to pick mine out but not me picking hers out.




Okay and here is Shelby last year with our new puppy Ginger. She is a shitzu/yorkie. Right now, Ginger is actually pregnant and not much bigger than in this picture. I'll try to add one more photo of them together.




This is from last may, I think, when we were doing the family photos. Thought about sharing one of all of us, but my hubby shaved his head bawled right before this, so, should I? Well, maybe next time. But here is one of me and lacy, so you can see me too.

I hope this works, I'll have to learn about this photo stuff. We all look similar just a little bigger than last year, yes me too. About 20 lbs bigger. I'll have to share that weight experience some time, but not today.

trailblazer funnies, NOT!

Okay, so it has been awhile. we recently have had issues with our 2005 trailblazer, my dream suv. Bigger than a mommy van, but smaller than a large SUV. It has less than 30,000 miles, and it has had transmission problems. We have had issues since the beginning. Well, looks like they will give me a new trailblazer, for the exchange of the LEMON> Yipee.
We went camping last weekend. We went to Cali, just north of ElCentro. It was beautiful. Green trees, tall ones. We got there late, but it was fine. We set up camp, and went to a little program with the ward. I slept great, but the hubby complained all night about not having an air matresss. Men! We played many games, and visited with good friends. There were some trees, that had holes all over them. I had never seen a tree like it in the many years of camping in the woods. As I got a closer look, there were acorns in each of the holes. I guess the squirrels were storing their year supply there. I laughed. It truly was a sight. If only all we had to store was acorns. The kids had a great time, and we packed up.
We went into San Diego to visit Uncle Derek and Aunt Jenny, with their new little girl, Dailey. She is adorable. She laughed and I ate up every minute as mine are bigger now and not so cute most of the time. Lacy was actually jealous for the first time ever. Told me to give the baby back, or put her in her crib.
We then went to the beach, and there were dogs on leashes everywhere. I had never seen so many animals at the beach. I stopped one lady and told her that this must be some sort of a dog beach. She laughed at me, and said that there were 3 dog beaches in San Diego and this happened to be one of them. Luckily we saw no poopies, or they had washed away with the waves.
Little Ronnie loved it. He has been to the beach several times. But with less fears this time, and knowing how to swim, he waded out a little bit, and then came in and said several times all day, "this is the best day of my life, ", and " this is awesome." He is so funny some times. Shelby was a little hesitant but still enjoyed getting wet and getting in the sand. Not too fond of the sand down below, but we washed it away often. Lacy stayed out of the water unless Daddy took her in forcefully. She sort of liked it, but didn't want to be let go of. She was afraid she would drowned. She says," I will drowned, I don't have my vest or floaties." I wish I could figure out how to upload pictures, I could put a few on here. Anyone, let me know.
Upon returning home, we made it all the way to Yuma, where we drop off daddy for work. The transmission completely went out as we got there. Luckily we weren't stuck in the middle of no where. I had to rent a car to get home and get back to life. They still have my car at a dealership in Yuma. Replacing the entire transmission.
I had a conference call with the General Manager of GM. They are going to work, with me to get the new one, no more questions asked. They have replaced my leather 4 times, the radio, the dashbored that they broke fixing the radio, the 4 seat belts they ruined replacing the leather, and etc. Need I go on? So, it is definately a lemon. A new one will be nice. Well, need to go. I am having an open house this weekend, to try and get my house sold. I need to touch up some paint, clean the tile and grout, and clean the rest, oh and a weeks worth of laundry to fold. Any one care to make a few bucks, LOL> Tomorrow night I am hosting a family back to school party. We will be making crafts and having a good time with food and visiting. Hope it is worth it. It will be fun. Hasta!

3 Things, stolen from Scraphappymamma:)

Okay, so this idea is a stolen idea, when your brain has been fried from humidity and you need something to blog about,

Three Things.......

3 Things That Scare Me:
Scorpions, One bit my neice while watching her and she almost died; Stupid people, the kind that can only do one thing at a time, and they are too busy doing what they shouldn't be doing; The End of this Life, Im unsure of the future and is scares me to think that it may all come to end and may not be pleasant.

3 People That Make Me Laugh; My kids are always making me laugh, Lacy said one time, after she got into trouble, "just get a new lacy then." Shelby like to get her self dressed in what She thinks is cute and then she comes in and says, (always waiting for a response of it is beautiful,) "so, how do I look" with her hands on her hips, and her head tilted back, and her hips to one side. Ronnie is always making little babies laugh and it is a joy to me and makes me laugh too.

3 things I Love; Today it is not my husband, he just came in and told me that this blogging is a waste of time. I don't love him at the moment. I love my children, I love when someone else does my dishes.

3 Things I Hate: I absolutely hate cleaning the dishes, having my husband being gone, (except for today :) ) and all the trecherous wars we will see before the end.

3 Things On My Desk: Not really anything, we are packing to move and so there are speakers, for tmusic, a printer and a copier, wait also my blog pages that I am printing to put into my journal.

3 Things I Want to Do Before I Die: I would love to go to Mexico and to South America and to see the Book of Mormon Lands for myself instead of just reading about them. I would love to kneel where Jesus knelt as he wept for our sins, and I would love to lay on the ground in the Sacred Grove and look up, imagining what it would have been like.

3 Things I Can Do: I can sew, teach piano lessons, and love my kids all day long. I can scapbook and to shop, and needless to say, there are more than three, but they aren't all things I think I can do, I have great friends who tell me I can do them, whishing I could see for myself.

3 Ways to Describe My Personality: My personality is OCD, anyone know what that is? It means you can't sleep before the house is cleaned up, and you can't go on vacation with out cleaning the house, and you can't drive your car anywhere with out cleaning it out, and need I go on?

3 Things I Can’t Do: I can't do Sign Language I keep trying, water ski, fly, I wish I had wings, and could at least try.

3 Things I Think You Should Listen To: Me, just kidding, Good music, The prophet, your spouse most of the time, and especially your children.

3 Things I Think You Should Never Listen To: Your neighbor, your in-laws (because sometimes you are right too), and your temptuous thoughts, (satan)

3 Absolute Favorite Foods: I love Sushi, actually california rolls, Filet Mignon, and Flan, Brazillian made only.

3 Things I’d Like to Learn: I NEED to learn to make bread, Jar my meals, for storage, and to lose weight.

3 Beverages I Drink Regularly: Dr. Pepper, Water and more Water.

3 Shows I Watched as a Kid: Silver Spoons, Giligan's Island, Dallas and Knotts landing.

3 People I Tag: Not sure what tagging is, anyone care to explain?

What an easy way out. Steal someone elses idea as of what to blog. Anyone want to send me more ideas? Go ahead and send them. Thanks, lindholm.. You are the best.

# 1 reason to be excited about humidity.

Okay, so here goes. It is so humid and has been all week, but it is okay. I have good reason to be happy about going out doors and sweating all my make up off, and having my just blown-straight hair go super curly. Also, feeling like I have a wet swimsuit under my clothing. WE HAD RAIN>>>>>> yipee. That is really exciting. Here is AZ we don't really get much rain, and this past week, we had 3 nights of rain. And on one of those nights, we had more rain than we have had, in the whole year. I was really excited. We had Real Thunder, crackling thunder and major lightning, of all colors. It went on for hours the first night. SO much wind, that there were telephone poles over and trees uprooted, and lots of mud. Well, I don't even care. I was so excited to get rain. I love the rain. I woke up my three sleepy little ones, and well, needless to say, they got excited too. We went out on the front porch and let the rain fall all over us, especially the rain falling from the edge of the roof, it was drenchingly qwenching my need for rain.
I didn't even have to water the plants, and it didn't cost me a thing. Yipee. So that is why I am excited about the humidity. We are having monsoon already and they are like the kind we had when I was a child. Haven't been so great for years past. Now, I love it. Yipee.

rutted routine

SO, the day goes on lifeless. My hubby was here this weekend. He lives elsewhere, until we get out home sold. I am currently watching 10 kids including my own that is, and school starts tomorrow. Random school starting tomorrow. Well, Everyday seems the same for me. I get up, first kid arrives at 5:15, and then 6:15 three more, and then at 7:30 three more, and then by that time, my own three are awake. Wew do breakfast, I throw in some laundry and start cleaning, then, I do lunch and change a diaper and then clean some more. Throw in some more laundry. Stop a few arguments, before they become fights, and then, it's nap time. Usually it consists of two different kinds. The big kids watch a movie, rather noisily, and then the younger ones go to sleep, if I lay with them for a few minutes. One needs a blanky and another a sippy cup with two handles, pink ones. I yell at the kids a few times, to be quiet, and then do the dishes. Well, they are all awake now, because the big kids aren't quiet. 3:30 comes, and 4 of the kids leave. I start cleaning, or continue cleaning some more. Then, I start dinner and maybe get a shower in . Then at 5:45, 3 more kids leave and we eat dinner. I clean the kitchen and do bath time and jamies, then, put in a kid movie and put them to bed. About 8:30 or 9:00 I get to my bed, that is if there are no kids in it with me and I watch something to put me to sleep. Oh man, 5:10 the next morning and my alarm, here we go again.

crazy days momma

Okay, so it is always crazy around here. I have 3 children of my own, and well, then I watch 6 to 7 other children randomly during the week. I am definiately crazy. I can only do this while my hubby is away. He is a Federal agent and is working away from home, has been gone since february and we are anxiously waiting to sell out home to be with him. It is so crazy sometimes. Actually every day is crazy, but then again, that is where the prozac comes in handy. Most think I am the craziest momma out there with all there is going on around me. And well maybe they are right, but do they really realize how crazy it is, or could be. It could worsen the the craziest ever, as the world is. But for now, in my own little world, It is just crazy enough for me. Every day is a crazy day. It wouldn't be my day if it weren't.
