California Trip

My blog is already very messed up and backwards so why not mess it up some more! :o) There are so many things that I haven't had time to post and now I want to catch up a bit. Back in March we went to LA to visit my sister Alysha and have spring break at the ocean. We had such a great time and we can't wait to do it again! If the gas prices stay what they are I am affraid it will be when we win the lottery but here's hoping!! (I guess I would need to play the lottery to win though huh?) So here is our beach fun, Easter at the beach and our bonfire night. Of course I wanted to start with the beach pics, then the easter and end with the night time bonfire but I just can't seem to think backwards so this is how it turns out. Urg.. How come I am the only dork on the blogger???? I just don't get it!!!!!!! Plus my pics are always spaced so dang far apart and when I fix it I have a huge space at the end of my blog. I need help!!!!!

Oh my goodness!! Who would have thought that while out dancing in Nashville at the Cadillac Ranch Bar ( I had to go there because of the Cadillac Ranch song for those who know country music) that I would have loved the voice of this beauty and ask to have my pic taken with her! To my surprise I saw her on Nashville star and she is in the top twelve!! Everybody root for Shawn Mayer!!

New House

Here is our new home!!! I was able to get the top cleaned up enough to send pics today! lol But I have only 15 min left now to get to work AAAhhhhh.... I got in my exercise too so it is a good day so far.

Here is our backyard deck with porch swing! And ozzy follows me everywhere :o)

Our backyard firepit. We have already made hot dogs, hamburgers and smores out here.

Nice swings that are cemented in and don't tip over and front and center a drinking fountain!! NICE!!

I am still waiting to see what is growing back there along the fence lol

The sandbox is covered by what looks like to me grape vines

Yep that is a hot tub!!!!

View from the front door. The entry, living room and kitchen are all open to each other. It is very bright in here!! Tons of windows and light oak woods.

I didn't have help when I put the bed together and couldn't get the bed skirt right so this is what we have for now.

Our built in entertainment center. And there you go I have to go hug Belle since she just got home, I have to go throw on some makeup, call the home lenders with some problems, go get Devin from school and then head to work. My life is NOT boring!! I WANT TO BE BORED!!!!!!!

Ozzy

This is my come hither look

Don't take a picture I need some help here!

I get TONS of love

Ozzy

A lot of you out there have been asking for pictures of our newest addition in the family! Ozzy joined our family three weeks ago and got his name by an Ozzy song that came on while we were discussing names and it stuck. The crazy thing was that it really wasn't an Ozzy Osbourne song lol But anyhoo here is Ozzy all 2lbs 6oz of him..

Belle's Birthday

Okay so I am still getting used to this blog thingy. I again posted them backwards. I always choose the one I want on top first and I need to learn that I need to do the last first.. Oh well.. At least I am posting!!! :o)
The kids had been doing this all evening. I was laying on the couch and all of a sudden I got attacked by the tattoo markers too!

Mom.. I am just not in the mood

Shan gave Belle his old laptop for game playing and writing.

Happy 8th Birthday Belley!!!!

Belle's friends! Yes they are the ones that gave her the fun face tattos

Beautiful girlies

Oh Man Brielle you are just sooo fun!! I love you soooo much!!!
