Timmy's Project in good old Hemet

Timmy's putting in a huge coy pond in his parents backyard, so this weekend while we were out there for Easter, I took some pics of the different steps. The pictures without the grey gooky looking concrete are from the first steps when he "ties steel", and the grey gooky pics are from the day they had the "shotcrete" shot. I'm sure I sound really dumb trying to describe this, but I'm trying! Leave me alone Timmy! Oh, and there's also a super cute picture of Mom holding our super cute new nephew, Riley. He belongs to Timmy's brother Chris and his wife Jen, whom I love dearly!

Easter!!!!

We spent the whole weekend in Hemet with Timmy's big ol' family with cousins and everybody. It was sooo much fun. The kids didn't want to go home, and trust me, I was tempted to grant them their wish! Ha ha ha! Here's some cute pics of the kids and the family.

Bowling for family night

Penny LOVES to go bowling, so finally after begging for a couple nights, we gave in and took the kids bowling. Did you know that besides the bumpers for the little ones, the bowling alleys also have ball ramps for the kids to help them push their ball down the aisle? What a great idea! We've been there tons of times, and never even knew about this fantastic invention. I just want to make sure everyone is aware, and make sure to ask for it at the counter! I bowled too, but no way was I gonna post those ones! Ha!

Front yard and Garage???

I'm so not into blogging anymore, but since everyone is on my case! Here are so new pics of the kids playing in the yard and in the garage. For some reason, the garage and the front yard are soooo fun. I don't get it. All the toys and kid stuff is in the back yard. Go figure...

Trena's Baby Shower

Trena's baby shower was awesome! I took Penny with me out the the Stiers house in Cathedral City and she got to play with Belen and Allie all day long. She had tons of fun, and so did I. I got to see so many faces that I hadn't seen in a long time, plus all my regulars that I love to death. Kelty took AWESOME pictures. I really love the ones she took of Penny and baby Charlie. There were so many great pictures, I had a really hard time choosing which ones to post.

Thanksgiving Weekend and our New Camera!!!

We got a new camera this last weekend! So now I can post more frequently. We spent Last week in Indio of all places, with Timmy's family, Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, etc... it was super fun. The Stephens (Timmy's Aunt and Uncle's Family) have a worldmark timeshare thing, and they got us three condo's out in Indio for Thanksgiving week. The place had 3 pools, tons of cool stuff for the kids to do, and a lazy river. That was Penny and Lukes Favorite. Then on Thanksgiving day, we drove from Indio to Oak Hills to have dinner with my sisters family. We had tons of fun there too. I love spending time with Becky and her family. Her kids are 10 and 7 though, and they don't "play" anymore. They are so mature, and it trips me out. Anyway, We didn't have the camera yet when we went to Becky's, so I don't have any pictures of that. How sad.

Here's Luke taking Penny for a ride in their jeep. Luke thinks it's HIS, so he refuses to let Penny drive. She's lucky she even gets to sit in it to take a ride.

Angels Game

Timmy took Penny to the Angels game the other night. Just the 2 of them. How cute is that? I got to stay home and cuddle with Luke.

Doing Chores

It's not too early to start teaching about chores, right?

Our First Family Camping Trip

Penny and Daddy (they hogged that paddle board most of the day!)


That's why Penny is so freaking tan!


They were watching the fire works, so patriotic


This picture is proof that we camped in a tent

Well, we just had our first family camping trip over the 4th of July. We camped at Lake Gregory at a little camp ground called "Camp Switzerland". It was AWESOME! So beautiful, clean, and quiet. We were invited to go with our friends the Orgills. All of our kids had a blast. We spent one entire day at Lake Gregory, playing in the warm lake, and taking the kids out on paddle boards.

Strawberry Fields

The kids and I went on a field trip to Tanaka Farms last week and got to pick our own strawberrys to take home. MMMM! We also got to eat as much as we wanted while we picked. So I ate a LOT, and it was yummy. We also got to sample the yummy onions, lettuce, carrots, and peas. That was the most vegitables i've ever eaten it one day, for sure!

Day at the Beach

Okay, I know it's been a while, so I better try and catch up. Here's some pictures from when we went to the beach about a MONTH ago! It was a really hot day, and we stayed and played for 5 hours. It was really fun.

Mullet Man

Timmy's been bugging me to cut his hair forever, and we finally got around to it last night. Here's Timmy's before picture

Nice picture, huh? Then, we couldn't decide on a haircut, so we thought about going with the old "A" Frame, or Mullet as some people call it...

I told him he'd be a perfect addition to The Scorpions....

As much as he wanted to keep his hair in a mullet, I told him he wouldn't be getting any more children (yeah right) as long as he looked like this. So we finally ended up with...

Sorry, once again, Timmy doesn't have a shirt on. Get used to it! This is who he is!
