Grrrr...$#%@*&%$#

So this morning around 8 am I get woken up from some tree trimming guys that were out in the school yard cutting the school's trees. So 8 am might not seem early to some of you people...but it is for me and my very late night/morning of no sleep. Oh, and plus the dog is out there barking its head off cause of all the commotion, so that didn't help. All I wanted to do was sleep...but that didn't happen. Got maybe about 2 hours of sleep if that, ugh. :-/ So today is going to be a lazy/relaxing day, hopefully. Maybe a nap soon...I don't take naps cause they mess with my sleeping and I can't sleep at night. I already have enough problems not sleeping at night...so I don't want to add to that. But I think a nap might be a good thing today. I guess the good thing of being woken up sooo dang early is that I got to eat breakfast at McDonald's and get my oh so yummy caramel frap. I know...not the most healthiest breakfast, but I'm not usually up or in too much of a rush in the morning to ever get breakfast there, so it was nice. Plus I don't usually eat breakfast...probably should, but I value my sleep more and trying to get a little bit more extra sleep then getting up and eating breakfast before work or whatnot. Breakfast was yummy though. :P And I got to sit out in the sun and nice weather and watch the guys cut the trees and try to calm down the crazy dog. Yummy food, Vitamin D, and some cute manly guys, not to bad for my lack of sleep I guess, haha! :) I think I'm going to try to rest some and maybe go on facebook...I'm addicted to fb. Have a great day! :) Oh, and I'm not responsible for any mistakes or not making sense in this post...sooo tired.

Amy's Prom 2011

These pictures are from Amy's prom back in May 2011. She loves to dance and loves music! :) They're not in the right order, but oh well...my blog finally let me upload pictures. She has two different dresses on cause towards the end of the dance, she busted the zipper open on the pink dress that my Mom made for her, so they found her that black and grey dress to wear for the remainder of the night. She was just dancing and rocking out so much that the zipper broke...thankfully they had spare dresses on hand. It was a fun night and I enjoyed chaperoning the dance and watching her do all those dances. Shoot, she's a better dancer than I am...she taught me the macarana and a country line dance, haha! :)

Been a long time...

Yep...it has been almost a year...opps! I've tried to upload pictures multiple times & no luck...ugh! I'll keep trying, I must just choose the wrong days to come on here. I've just been keeping busy with work & life this past year & it's gone by fast...can't believe it's almost Christmas. Next time I go on my computer, I'll have to update more. This is the first time I've tried posting from my phone, we'll see if it works. Have a great day & take care! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year if I don't make it back on here before then! :)

Thanksgiving, Columbia/Sonora trip, Christmas

Well, looks like I get around to updating my blog every few months. I try to do it more often, but I just seem to be too busy lately and haven't gotten around to updating. I tried to upload some pictures from my Columbia/Sonora trip and Christmas, but it's just not letting me do that, so I'll have to post pic's later, ugh. For Thanksgiving it was my Mom, Aaron, Amy, and I. Us kids helped with Thanksgiving dinner since my Mom was sore from her surgery a couple days before and dinner turned out great and very yummy! :P I got some great black Friday deals online and didn't have to go out with all the crazies, yeah! :) My sister Ashley and brother in law Andre' came down from Utah for a couple of weeks in December and spent Christmas with us, that was fun and great to see them! :) We, my Mom, Aaron, Amy, Ashley, Andre', and I went to Columbia, CA for the day and had lots of fun there. We went to the candy kitchen and got some yummy candy, checked out the shops and all the historic sites and stuff. My Mom's parents use to live out there, so growing up we use to go visit there a lot and watch them make the candy canes and wonder around, fun times. Then on the way home, we stopped in Sonora at the Christmas store and got some cute ornaments. I got a flip flop ornament and a duck one too. Even though my cheek was swollen up pretty big and I had an infection, the meds helped me feel good enough to go and have fun with family. Plan on making another trip out there in April with my friend and her husband when they're visiting from Michigan, can't wait! :) Christmas Eve we got our ornaments and pj's that my Mom made, been a tradition my whole life and one I plan to continue. We set up Amy's trampoline Christmas Eve while she watched movies, she sure was surprised and loved it Christmas morning! On Christmas morning we opened up our stockings and then ate breakfast and then opened all the other gifts, fun times. I always love it when family is visiting and hanging out with them! The rest of the day we just watched movies, played the Wii, jumped on the trampoline, and hung out. My Mom made dinner and it was yummy. :) New Year's Eve, Amy and I stayed up watching movies and eating snacks and drinking sparkling apple cider until a few minutes before midnight. Then we set off some popper firework things and watched the neighbor set off bottle rockets. 2010 has flown by so fast, can't believe that it's already 2011. For my birthday, December 19th, we had pizza, nachos, and cheesecake, mmm! :P Probably some of the worst things someone lactose intolerant can eat, but I didn't care, it was yummy and what I wanted! The holidays have been great and it's kind of sad that they are over, Christmas is my favorite time! Well, the next chance I get to come on here and update, I'll try to post the pic's again and hope it works. Hope everyone is doing great and having a Happy New Year! :)

Pumpkins! :)

Here's the pumpkins that Amy and I did that I was talking about below. They're all glittery and gem stoned up. It was lots of fun and there was glitter every where. The first two pic's are of Amy's pumpkin, the front side and back side. She really liked the glitter and gem stones a lot as you can see, hehe! The third picture is of both Amy's and my pumpkin. And the last two pic's are of the front side and back side of my pumpkin that I decorated. Figured it was kind of early to carve pumpkins, cause they would go bad, but they wont this way. :)

Yep...I'm a procrastinator...been awhile! :)

I'm way behind on updating my blog, keep procrastinating, I'm really good at that, hehe! But nothing too exciting has been happening, just the same stuff for the most part. Going to work, helping with my mom and little sister, and helping around the house. I have to get the girl's camp pic's on my computer, so that I can post them on here, posted them to fb though. Girl's camp was lots of fun and it was in July, I'll work on getting the pic's up. Today Amy and I decorated some pumpkins. Yep, it's early, but we wanted too and they are cute. We used glitter and covered the pumpkins with it and then put gem stones all over it too and we also made a cute face on one side. I'll have to take some pic's of the pumpkins when they are dry and ready and post them on here. When it gets closer to Halloween, we will probably carve some pumpkins and make pumpkins seeds, yummy! I can't wait till the Fall weather is here, it's been too dang hot and I've had enough of summer. I love Spring and Fall times, even though my allergies are crazy then! Amy wants to be a clown for Halloween. Which winds up being perfect, since we have lots of clown costume stuff in the Halloween costumes from my whole family being clowns one year. I'm not sure if I'll dress up, probably just hand out candy and maybe watch some Halloween movies, not the scary, gory ones, but fun ones like Hocus Pocus and The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I also love to bake in the fall and winter time, it's just been too hot to do much baking in the summer and I miss it! Something kind of funny, I went to the post office during the end of September and asked if they had the Christmas stamps. The lady just looked at me like I was crazy, wanting them this early, and said that they didn't have them in. She said that the earliest she could order them and get them in is the middle of October, so I've gotta wait I guess, hehe! I just wanted to be prepared for my Christmas card mailing in December and not have to make another trip to the post office. But it's all good, there's a post office inside Raley's grocery store, so I'm not too worried. I can't believe that we are this close to Halloween already and that Christmas is right around the corner, this year has gone by soooo fast. Well, look forward to some pic's on the next post hopefully and blog at ya'll later. Have a great weekend and take care! :)

Update on life, fair, prom pic's

Hey, life is going fine and keeping me busy...not much new stuff going on. Just working, helping out around the house with my Mom and Amy, and having some down time to just hang out. Works been going fine, got more hours with one of the ladies, so that will be nice to help her out more and have more money coming in. And I get to do this family day care from the state and they pay me to watch Amy and help out with her, so that will be cool too. Gonna have more than 40hrs a week with all three people and it will keep me busy, but it will be nice to have the money to help out with and save. The weather here has been nice this past week in the 80's, but before that it was in the 90's and also hit 100, ugh. Tomorrow it's suppose to be back in the 90's and looks like it will be hot all week, oh yeah! Time to start swimming with Amy out back, I could use some sun, I'm white, hehe! On Thursday I took Amy to the fair and we had lots of fun! We went and saw the farm animals and got to pet most of them, she especially enjoyed the horses and mini ponies. I enjoyed seeing all the ducks and getting to pet them and feed them and race them, so fun! :) We ate some yummy over priced fair food, mmm! :P And she got a really cute big beaded flower ring and I got some cute earrings. Then we watched Clay Walker for a little bit and that was fun, Amy was out there dancing, too cute! She wore herself out that day, that she was too tired to go to summer school the next day, opps, hehe! Me on the other hand, had to go to work all sleepy, blah! All and all, it was a fun day, despite it being over priced, we had a good time. I'm posting some pic's of Amy's prom and anyone that's my friend on facebook has probably already seen them, but I figured I would post them on here too. She had lots of fun at the prom and danced all night, it was so cute! :) Well, that's all for now, talk to y'all later and hope everyone is doing well! Have a great day and take care! :)

What's been going on...

Well, it's been awhile since I've been on my blog to update it, so here we go. I'm still living in Cali and for the most part enjoying it. We've been having some really nice Spring weather and sun and that's been nice. But today it's crazy windy and rainy out and stormy! And my little sister keeps saying the witches house, referring to The Wizard of Oz and the tornado and the house landing on the witch, hehe! And she has some striped socks that look like the witches socks and will put them on and lay under the bed with just her feet hanging out and pretend she's the witch under the house, silly girl, haha! :) My allergies have been crazy too and a lot worse this year, had to change allergy meds. But I heard that this year allergies are at there all time high and worse because of all the pollen and stuff, oh great! I got a job doing care giving for two ladies and have been doing that for about a month and that's going good. I go to one of the ladies house Monday through Friday and the other just on Monday and Friday. It would be nice to get one more person to do care giving for, then I could be doing it full time. I met a new friend and we've been hanging out and going to the movies and having fun. Her name is Sheila and she moved here from Stockton and she has a 9 year old son. It's been nice to have someone to hang out with and get to know and do stuff with. I'm excited that my friend Issa is coming to visit from Michigan on Thursday, yeah, can't wait to see her and have lots of fun and hang out! I miss not seeing her all the time and hanging out when I lived there. So I'm sure I'll have something to post about after her trip and hopefully some pictures too. Well, until next time, have a great day and take care! :)

Quick update

Hey, I know it's been such a long time and no update, I've been slacking again, haha! I don't really have anything new going on, so that's probably why I'm not updating here. I'm back in Cali and still looking for a job here, it seems never ending and like there isn't anything out there in this crappy economy, ugh! Lets hope something comes up really soon. With all this free time I've been able to watch lots of movies and that's been fun. But I kind of miss working, I'm sure once I'm back out there working, I'll be saying that I miss the not working, but it gets boring not working, so it would be nice to have something to do and have money. We've been getting some crazy storms here, raining, windy, hail, thunder and lighting. The wind was so strong that it blew over part of the fence and a tree in the backyard! Plus all over town it knocked over power lines, trees on houses and cars, just crazy weather! Well, hope everyone is doing well and have a great day and take care! :)

Pictures of California fun with great friends! :)
