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!
