Disneyland

The last week in June I went to Disneyland with my parents and my kids. It had been about 10 yrs since I have been to Disneyland. So much had changed, it was also my boys first time there. We had so much fun. We did 2 days of Disneyland and then 1 day at the beach and Medieval Times dinner then back to Disneyland for 2 more days.

Disneyland was fun we were able to see allot of characters and see lots of shows and parades we when on all the rides even the Tower to Terror, although the boys were in tears when the ride was over. The boys loved the Medieval dinner they were on the edge of there sit the whole show.

The beach was fun until we lost Kaleb! Yes I said lost.

The Day started off fun we slept in at a great breakfast at Denny's then headed to the beach. Once we got there I took the boys to the water. They were amazed on how the ocean just kept going. We stood on the shore and when the water started to go back Ryan freaked out. So Ryan was having the most fun on the beach way from the water looking for sea shells. So Kaleb and I would go out and jump the waves we had so much fun laughing and screaming and hanging on each other. So after a while I noticed that if you stood on the shore when the water would pull back sea shells would tumble down. So I called Ry over and was showing him the sea shells but like I said earlier he did not like the feeling of the ocean pulling back so he when back to Grandpa to look for shells up there. So Kaleb, Grandma and I looked for sea shells for Ryan. Kaleb said, "look mom look at this sea shell" Me " Wow that is really pretty" I bend down pick up a sea shell go to show Kaleb and he is not there. So I ask my mom where is Kaleb her reply right over here....well he was here a second a go. So we holler at my dad is Kaleb with you he said no. Panic sets in I keep telling my self not to cry not yet. My thought was that a wave knocked him down and he has been swept out to the ocean and I will never see him again. My mom at this point is talking to the life guard and they wave me over to tell him what he is wearing. There was this gal over there she looks out and said, "is that him" Me "were" because I can not see him she points him out and sure enough it was him. I don't think I ran so fast in my life. He had gone all the way down to the other life guard tower and was on his way back. I would say that they put those about 1/2 mile apart. When I picked him up and said, "don't do that to me ever ever again" Kaleb said what I told him that we lost him he said "I was not lost, I thought that grandpa was sitting by 18 but when I got down there it was 19 so I knew I had to come back this way." Me "18 what are you talking about?" Kaleb "the numbers on the side of these towers." who knew that they number the life guard towers. Well at least I can say my 7 year old was using his brain. So after that we all sat down drank some water and I was ready to leave so we packed up and left.

For the most part California was a blast!

Memorial Weekend

I had a great time camping with my family at the San Rafael Swell over Memorial weekend. It was me and my boys, my mom and dad, Mark & Rachel and their kids, Kirk and Andrea and their kids, and Rachel's mom and dad. We got to go see a dinosaur foot print and Indian pictographs. We had a lot of fun just sitting around the campfire talking and going on hikes in the day. I was glad that we went and saw all the cool things in one day because when we got back to camp to cook hot dogs and hamburgers for diner. I made Ryan a hot dog, with the hot dog in one hand and a beer in the other I turned around to go give Ryan his hot dog. I did not see the camping chairs on the ground behind me so I tripped an fell. As I was laying there in the dirt with the hot dog in the air yelling get this to Ryan. Colton walks up and says, "You spilled your beer." So Mark and my Mom took me to the hospital were I found out that I tore and pull the ligaments in my ankle.

Poor Boy

This morning after I got out of the shower, Ryan decided to tell me that it was really hard to put his underwear on. Then he told me it felt like it was squeezing him. So after my shower I had Ryan show me how his underwear was fitting, when he took his pants off I noticed that his underwear was on backwards. So I thought to my self were there's the problem. Once he turned his underwear around I noticed that they were really small and tight on him. Looking at the tag they were size 4t, so I got in Kaleb's drawer and had him try on the 4/5 in boys and those were small too but fit a little better. So then I grabbed the next size Kaleb had which was a 6/8 in boys. Once he put those on it was a perfect fit. So he went from a size 4 toddler to a 6/8 in boys. I felt so bad that his under was so small. So I had to buy him all new underwear because all the ones he had was too small.

Trip home on the bus

So for the first time in my life I got to ride a Greyhound bus home from Walla Walla, Wa. When we drive it by our selves it's about a 10 hours, on the bus it was 12. I will never ride the bus by myself again. That is because everyone on the bus was a crack head or a wanta be gangster. All I heard the whole way home was F*#@, bro, yeah well I did this with a girl and them use your imagination on what was said.

Then in Boise we picked up this guy who was drunk and high. He would not leave me alone, so I had to try my hardest to avoid him and there's not to much room on the bus to avoid him. He kept telling me how he was kicked off the last bus and that the police took his weed. This guy would not shut his mouth he was telling another passenger that he was going to stick his D@ck in his ear. After that was said the bus driver had to pull over in the middle of nowhere Idaho and tell him to shut up and sit down and the next time they see or hear him they would call the police to come and get him. Then we had to pull over a second time because of that same guy, so the bus driver told him that at the next stop they were going to have the police take him off the bus. Finally we would be rid of him I thought and well at the next stop no police and yes that guy got back on the bus and he was talking to me and I politely told him he should take a nap to stay out of trouble, so he did at least he listened to someone and he was able to finished the trip to Salt Lake without another outburst. Then this other gangster wanted me to sit by him and "keep him company" as he put it. I told him no I would like to sit in my seat. Then he proceeded to tell me that my husband wouldn't mind. Who the hell dose this guy think he is, umm yes my husband would mind and NO I don't want to sit by you.

Then two Mexicans were caught by the immigration officer and one stop. So the up roar was starting to calm down then the lady in front of me starts singing to 50 cent really loud. The funny thing is I would say she was in her 50's listening to rap.

The only thing that made the trip worth everything was seeing my boys at the bus stop with big smiles on there face, and getting to hug them. This is way I will never travel by bus again with out Tony.

Walla Walla, WA

So we moved Tony to Walla Walla, WA I was able to come with him. I have been able to drive around town and get things done for us to move up here. Tony gave me a Honey Do List when we got here. I have had to open a checking account, get car insurance quotes, and look at rental properties. I have enjoyed hanging out with my nieces and nephews here. I can't wait to get back to my kids and then I can't wait to move here. It is so pretty and nice and relaxing here. I like to small town feel.

Tony's project

So my husband is not happy unless he has a project to do. One night he was playing around on the Internet and found this remote control car that runs off a weed whacker motor. So my husband gets this great idea to put a week whacker motor on his remote control car. So he started his project and is almost done. Just the other night he took it out to he garage to start it up to see how it would work. The boys got all excited and wanted to watch so they run out to the garage. Tony then proceeded to tell the boys that they should stand back by the door because things could go flying off. Tony started up the motor and something shot out and hit Tony's knuckles. He is okay but his fingers to hurt. Well I hope this is well worth the effort and pain for this car.

Oregon

So as most of you all know Tony and I are moving to Oregon. Tony leaves on April 5th so he will only be here for two more week. The boys and I plan on joining Tony I just have to find a job first. I am not looking forward to him moving so far away, but I am looking forward to the adventure of moving to another state. I know at times it will be so hard to be so far away from my family who I am very close to, but I hope we will be able to be more successful. I am looking forward to being closer to Tony's family and getting to know them better and for my kids to get to know those cousins more.
