Fun @ The Lake

We got invited to Lake Almanor for a few nights this last week. It was lots of fun and the weather was beautiful!!! I had never been there and it was just lovely. Special thanks to the Bean and whole family for having me and the kids up. It was lots of fun!!!

This is at the first afternoon we were there. The kids hopped right into the boat and played in the lake. There is a very nice large area for kids to swim and play.

Brother and Sister......I don't know why he's not wanting to smile for me nicely lately.

Yo there is my home girl....Lex....she loves the beach !!

Love this picture of Wolfie.....so innocent just playing on the beach.

I think we were all ready for some computer love. We played with my new MacBook and the best program Photo Booth.....I will have to post a picture of myself......be ready to be scared!!!

Be sure to check out my flickr photos of more lake fun!!!

4th of July.....Pro Party.....

We had a fun 4th of July. My friend SJ Deham lives close to where the fireworks are set off. For the last years we normally go to their house to enjoy the show. I suggested that this year we have a progressive party and start at our house and everyone can swim and then go to their house for a BBQ and fireworks.

It started out at my house with swimming. For some reason my pool can be rough on little soft toes of the summer. There's been blood shed and lots of band aids used. The only cure really is come swimming more!!! Here's Tay getting lots of attention from the ladies.

Can you tell me what's cuter than this? It's Trent, Anna and Tay in the boat !

Finally Lexi got her hands on a sparkler!!! The smell of these just reminds me of my childhood in a big way........do you feel the same way?

Here's some fireworks being set off at a neighbors house. WOW!!!!

Looks like they are about to set themselves on fire!!! Don't worry no children were harmed in any of these photos of sparklers.......now ask about me about Mr. SJ Denham.......he may have been harmed!!! LOL

Da Bears............

We went to Lake Tahoe a few weeks ago. We took our tent trailer and stayed with friends on their property. They live close to Emerald Bay and it's just beautiful there. The weather was perfect and the company was great!!!

This is a place on the Truckee River and it's nickname is fanny bridge. Everyone looks over the side of the bridge as cars drive by so all you see are people's fannies.

Our friend Steve took both kids and Rob out on his canoe.
They all had fun and didn't evenfall out!!

Here's the kids at Eagle Falls at Emerald Bay.....There was a freaky waterfall there and I really had to try to not freak out about the kids just fallng off the edge of the cliff....but they were fine and we had a nice picnic on one of the flat rocks.

Okay now for the bear story. It was after dinner and we were just sitting around making smores on their fire pit. The awesome iTUNES music was going and the marshmallows were roasting just perfect. It had gotten a bit darker then in the photo above.....Lexi wants to hear scary stories. Of course I'm the kind of mom who likes to freak out my kids so I normally oblidge their story request when out camping....after all they are sleeping in the camper with us and safe!! I didn't want our friends to think I'm the freak kind of mom who freaks out her kids so I stay quiet.....Shannon finally gives into Lexi's begging and begins to tell a story....it's all about this noise, dark trees and something coming out of them....it was a NAKED BEAR......We laugh and love the part about the bear being naked.

About 10-15 minutes later as it's getting darker out I see this shadow walking behind the trees that you see (Okay at first I thought he walked in front of the trees....I think he still might of....but who knows....) I say in a little voice....."Hey I think that's a bear over there" It was like 15 feet away. As everyone turns to look....the bear turns and looks at us. Shanon, our host, says to slowly walk in the house...I grab Lexi's arm and as calmly as I can go into the house. Wolfie came behind us and Rob and Steve and Shannon just sat there and the bear turned back around and took off. In the house I was freaking out. A city girl like me has NEVER seen a bear that close up. Lexi didn't see it so. She was sobbing and totally scared. Poor girl!! She wanted to sleep in the house that night instead of the camper. After some calming down she relaxed and we all realized that Shannon's scary story had come true. We went back outside by the fire for a little bit and relaxed before going inside and watching some Chris Angel Mind Freak episodes. Have you seen these? I will post more about this guy later......Oh yeah our family was able to sleep in the tent trailer and had no more problems with bears!!!

Rob took this photo of Shannon, Steve, me and the kiddos. Shannon and Steve have a very comfortable life in Tahoe and we are very glad to have hooked back up with them. We actually meet them down in the East Bay about 12 years ago through Rob's job. Very cool couple!!! Thanks S&S for your hospitality and for bringing out all your toys for the kids to play with!

P.S. My spell check for blogger isn't working so please excuse any spelling.......

Seacrest OUT

Okay we are off for another adventure......I'm sorry that I gave you the bear teaser and then never came back with the details.....well it's still a true story and really happened.....if I have wifi where I'm going I can catch you up on the bear and the 4th....which was enjoyed by all!!!!

We got ditched......

Yeah FOGETOWN struck again......we got ditched.....the funny thing is I'm wondering if they read my teaser post of what happened to us in Tahoe??????? That's pretty funny!!! Thanks FOGES!!! Be on the lookout for our GAME!!!! Cause we got it in us....somewhere.....


p.s.....there will be lots more blogging if I get time today.....have to tell you guys the whole bear story and the fun time we had!!!

Look A BEAR!!!!!

Okay we just got home but I'm going to tease you with BEAR....WE SAW A BEAR......15 feet from us.......no lie.....swear on nan's grave.......We went to Lake Tahoe with our tent trailer and camped on some friends property. They live between Emerald Bay and Homewood......very cool!!! I have to go help Rob-O unload the trailer and then I will come back with my very true bear story!!!!

A Daisy to a Brownie......

Tonight we had our bridge ceramony for the girl scouts. Yes it was 100 degrees out but the wind came out later and it started to cool down. They all turned from a Daisy Girl Scout to a BROWNIE!!!! See our friend Taylor in the background? It's been a fun year and they all did so great!!! BIG Thanks to Miss Nancy who was a HUGE wonderful help with all this last year and Daisy's!!!! We will miss Sophie and Clara when they move to Japan this upcoming fall.

Chris made the wonderful cake and I hope that her ankle isn't broken and she can

continue to have a great summer!!!! The park is cursed.....several years back I was
bouncing in a bounce house with SJ Denim and POP went my knee.....I was on crutches the next day......I try and stay out of bounce houses and trampolines now!!!

Lexi, Bell and Anna all painting their Daisy picture!!

These girls are not used to smiling for the camera are they? :-)

Here's my sweet girl walking the bridge to brownies!!! She looks so proud!!!

Farewell for a little bit party.......

Our good friends the Wilsons are moving up to God's Country as our friend Tom Jones said last night. No really his name is Tom Jones...... We will miss them ! You might remember the almost still like newlywed Wilson couple from our Jan Flickr cruise Photos

I think I met Jo in 1996 when me and another gal in town started the moms club. Her oldest Christian was about 2 years old....now he's going into 7th grade and getting so tall !!! She's got the cutest little ones now Josh and Timmy. Full of fun with a glint of mischievousness in their eyes.....We all had the best time last night even though some peeps were on the MIA list. You know who you are........



Here's Timmy in the life jacket. He's a spitting image of his Daddy. Then their buddy Connor and Josh in the background.

Here's Jo and Lis....friends for a long long time!!!! I will be walking the Relay for Life on Lis's team this weekend. I picked a nighttime shift to walk so I don't get heat stroke. It was 104 degrees here in Nor Cal yesterday!! YIKES

You can't really tell that great in the picture but Mahlon's eyes were about to pop out of his face. He had been swimming all day and then came to Julies and swam for a couple more hours. I'm surprised he could see out of them peepers!!!

Oh the hot tub. Lots of deals were made in here last night. LOL :-) This is the hit of Julie's house......Lexi ask's me "Why didn't we get a hot tub" Ummm cause we ran out of pool money ????? LOL Even though it was burning out last night they still love to just sit in there and chat!!! What a AWESOME group of kiddos. Amazing how long they have all known each other.

We will miss you Wilson Family!!! Especially your devilish eggs!!! We like them on the plate please!!! LOL Just remember your only an e-mail away, a phone call away, a text edit away and if Jo really wants her fills done right....she will come "home" and get them done!!! Love you JO!!!

Party on KIDDOS

Summer is here and the house is thrashed. This is what I woke up to today. Of course I'm not showing photos of swim suits, towels and clothes all over the place. Both kids took a late afternoon nap on Thursday so of course they could not fall asleep anytime early on Thursday night. Of course the two energy drinks I had at the swim party didn't help me either. Did I get any laundry done last night? NO I read my magazines while the kids watched Star Wars. I had a cold glass of milk and my cashews. So I didn't help the mess either.......

WOW!!! I think Wolfie was up pretty late watching TV. Thank goodness for Charter Parental Controls and for TIVO for pre-recorded shows!!! Can you imagine him at 18 doing this? I think he won't fit on the couch!!!

Here's my little angel. Loose front teeth and all. I don't think she moved one inch last night from this position!!! Please send good thoughts that her tooth comes out today. She's really torn up about it. Hopefully Trina can pull it out for me. The bean loves loose teeth!!!

First Mountain Bike Race.....

I took Wolfie and two friends to his first mountain bike race. It was super hot and we got there about 1 1/2 hours early. Oh well. They got to ride the course several times and get a feel for it. They did REALLY great. Con came in 10th place and both Justin and Wolfie got PARTICIPANT ribbons. There was about 25-30 boys in their race and it was about a mile long. Wolfie's chain came off right as they were ready to start the race and they held the race for him and someone helped fix it. I thought that was really cool. It was a very family friendly type of place and everyone was very helpful!!! I thought they would of been really tired......I made them swim to freshen up and then watched "So You Think You Can Dance" and now it's 11 PM and they are still awake. YES Justin is still awake...... I'm waiting for them to put a movie on so I can retire to my bedroom......they are really such good kids and I'm really proud of the way they can handle themselves........this is a fun age and it's really cool to take them places like this.

There are lots more MBR photos here

P.S. Justin just said as I'm trying to post this "Okay guys I'm going to
bed now....goodnight" LOL

It's Your Day DADDY!!!!

Hope all the Dad's had a super day today!!! We had a BBQ and most all of Rob's family came over. ALL the nephews and one niece were there and they had a blast swimming!!! Things did get a little INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE but they were all really good....except for the one ball hog....you know who you are!!! LOL

Tuesday Night Book Club?

Okay did anyone watch this show? My friend Tam told me about it and said thought it was something I would love.....so what's the scoop peeps? I have it TIVO'd for next time. They are saying it's real women.......??????????? I love reality TV so I'm hoping this one is good. There are no good shows on right now

Yee Haw Cowgirl......

Miss Kendall loves to dress up like a cowgirl!!!




She's getting so big!!! She got 3 shots today and was a little bit fussy when she was awake!!! Poor little thing!!! She looked so cute with her new cowboy boots on !!!!

Yeah Boi.......

I just checked the jury web site and was able to get out of my jury duty for a very soon upcoming date.....can I hear an AMEN?

I'm ready for my close up.......

Since my hubby does not really read this blog....unless I send him a link and he reads the blurb o the day......we did something really fun for Fathers Day coming up!!! Here's a sneak peak.....

You can check out my Flickr photos for more fun from today.........

Little Manhattan

We watched the cutest movie last night. Very sweet movie about a boys first love. Rob even stayed up late to watch it with us.....check it out!!!

Swimmers Ear......

I took Wolfie to the Doc yesterday and he said that he's got swimmers ear. He said that it REALLY hurts so when he says it hurts to believe him. He gave us some ear drops and said to take OTC pain reliever. I think it's better tonight and the drops really hurt. Yeah he's on the mend.......

Clean Up Aisle 2

The tummy bug has been going around our house. It started Friday night with Lexi. We were up ALL night. Poor baby....she was a champion about it all. Then Sunday night Wolfie and I hit the skids. It's a good thing that Rob didn't get it cause you always need a clean up man. Bless his heart. It's times like this when you realize how much you appreciate the man you married. We are on the mend but Wolfie's still a little out. His ear hurts so he's got a doc appt this morning. Poor guy. He's worried that the strep is back and he's going to get really sick again.....

Whoo Hoooo Schools Out!!!

Schools out for 8 weeks!! Yeah baby!!! We had a pizza party at the park after school and let the kiddos run out of steam. Really weird weather also today. Muggy and hot.

Wolfie and his buddies practicing for a big night of Star Wars Trivial Pursuit

Lexi at her water field day at school today. They got to wear their suits and play with water, bubbles and chalk. They all had lots of fun!!!

Here's Lexi and her peeps singing the Jalapeno song!!!

Eggs Please.......

Seems like kids this age are learning to make scrambled eggs....so I taught Wolfie how to make them the other night. His friend Justin inspired him and he did great.......






The final product!!! YUMM!! I will have some eggs and a dose of penicillian to ward off strep!! LOL

Ukraine?

I have one visitor to my blog from the Ukraine....how cool is that?

I hope you will leave a comment and say hello!!!
