EESH! ANOTHER two weekends here and gone, CRAZY! Well we have been really busy, keeping the kids moving and having fun! Last weekend (17-18) we did some bike riding, and went to the beach with my sister and fam, nice to spend the afternoon with my fam. and then we all went to concerts in the park. It was one of BP's friends b.day, so BP ans his pals had a little "sleepover" and BBQ. IT was a LONG NIGHT!
We again went to the beach starting this past weekend (22-23) with my friend and her kids, we had a ton of fun, SO relaxing! We went to the fair on Saturday with my bro-in law and BP's friend, my sis and fam. to see the Time, it was a lot of fun. We saw the pig races and ate WAY to much, the kids were WAY TO SPOILED that night :) LP had a blast with Uncle Joey, who rode roller-coasters with him, they were a pair of dorks!! :)
BP left town on Sunday, and that began my LONG week :) IT IS HARD WITHOUT HIM! Sunday night my mommy spent the night with us, we had a nice night together. Monday was LONG, my dryer had broke on Sunday and I was FREAKING out, but my PastorS came to my rescue and saved my sanity :) Tues my sis, kids and I went to the fair, we had a really fun time, cracked up at my niece, she won a pig nose for being a cheerleader for the pig:) FUN!! The kids rode some rides, I guess my kids did NOT get enough of them the other night :) LOL!! P had soccer after (which made for a long day, he was TIRED, NO I WAS tired)! Wed we vegged out ALL day, SO nice, then went to Applebees for din din and then church!
Today (now Thursday, you see I'm counting down the days)!! GOT up SO STINKIN' EARLY to go down with our church to the city park to have a pancake breakfast, rode on a train and a hay ride, I LOVED every MINUTE OF IT!!! We had FUN!!!!!!!! Im SO glad I got up and went:)
After me and the kids went down to SLO to do some errands, and then went to have lunch at my moms shop (made a lunch), then we went on a nice little walk by the water (I brought the kids scooters, and I RAN next to them):) After we went and played down by the water for a couple of hours, until I started to doze off OOPS! So I figured I'd better go and relax at my moms house for a bit. So P and I took a little snooze until my mom came home from work, then we went to eat at Home Town Buffet AND PIGGED OUT! :) Then I decided I'd better come home for the night, after all we had been away from home for almost 14 hours! When we got home, my little man LP took out the garbage can, just like his Dad, what a MAN...
HOPEFULLY BP will be home SOON, I MISS him SO much...
To be continued with the rest of our weekend... ;) AND hopefully some pictures!

Our weekend
Another weekend here and gone too fast, but always fun!
Friday the kids and I went over to a friends house to play and have lunch. They had a wonderful time playing in their peaceful, full of adventures yard :) They played all sorts of fun games from "spy", "bug catchers" and "ninjas". I cracked up watching P., he just had to take his shoes off and rub his toes in the mud, and venture out with the older kids. LP and his buddy were dripping with sweat and all red faced by the end of our afternoon. And P had fun with his little friend too, taking turns pushing each other on the tree swing. We had a really nice lunch together on a blanket in the warm sun. I really enjoyed myself, as the kids played so much that us adults could actually just SIT and TALK! Very nice time together, getting to know each other more. Later that night we went to the Concerts in the park with my sis and her fam and my mom. We finished the night with ice cream from Cold Stone! OH YUM!
Saturday we went to the Lavender festival, it was very interesting, it was more a craft fare then anything. It was hot out so we were MUCH happier to be heading to the beach! We spent the rest of our day at the beach with our friends that came once again to visit us ( to escape the HOT weather in Fresno). We had a really nice time visiting again, while the kids played in the sand and ran all over the place! We ended our time together at Duckies (seems to be our tradition these days). I'm glad that they came to visit with us, our kids play so well together, and we sure can chat it up for hours:) Don't get BP started :) OH and there was ANOTHER wedding that day too, really cool....
After our friends headed home we went over to my moms shop (the boys needed haircuts) we were not sure we really wanted to go (sunburn, tired and all of that) but we did:). After my mom took us to eat at our FAMOUS spot, DOCKSIDE:) For a late night snack (about 9pm) of clam chowder and fish n chips! OH YUM!!!!
Sunday was a relaxing, YET sad day:( We realized we had lost our Bunny Bugzy:( The last time we saw him was LATE Friday night. Because we left early on Saturday we sort of figured he was still sleeping in his hiding spot and that we would just see him later in the night when we got home (like usual) but come Sunday and nothing... We are very sad. I was awaken by THUNDER early Sunday morning, and BP was already outside bringing in his tools that he had out from working on the trailer, looking for Bugzy and covering the lawn mower too. I ran outside with a towel over my head and drug in the BBQ and called for Bugzy:( NOTHING....
What a depressing day after that, we thought maybe he was spooked (although he does NOT spook easy) and maybe he hid really well. After church we went looking more for him, BP moved some wood pile and searched in every crevice of our yard and nothing:( Bugzy just usually comes out when he hears us and wants to see us, NOT hide:( That is NOT like him to LEAVE, and not show up, he likes to be around when we are outside. He sleeps usually in the day off and on, but if we are outside he IS too...
We put signs out today (Monday), prayed and cried:( WHY??!! Its just not fair... Tonight LP was very sad and crying before bed, I just felt like screaming, I prayed and tried to give him peace... This is what I came up with (or what God gave me rather) "we have to trust God, he HAS a plan, if we trust him then we have to TRUST him always, we have faith that he knows what is going on, not us. Maybe JUST MAYBE someone out there was praying for a miracle for a sick child, or a lonely child (maybe they were poor or broke) and Bugzy was their miracle, 'they' just opened their door and BAM there is a bunny on their doorstep, 'their miracle'... "
WE needed peace tonight, and in a small way I think we BOTH needed to hear from God, he IS IN control ALWAYS! EVEN if we DO NOT feel it, he IS.....
No pictures tonight, I just don't feel like posting them.
GOOD night...

Our 4th of July
Another fun day for us! Got up early and went over to Cayucos (with our friends that are here from San Bernardino) to look at the sand castles. After we went over to my in-laws for lunch (BBQ beef, baked potatoes, veggies, strawberry shortcake, and and and) and a bonfire. We visited with our family and friends and had a nice relaxing afternoon. It was nice to just let the kids play and not have to watch there every little move (and have the grands do it for us!), they got really dirty and enjoyed themselves a TON!
After we went over to the beach with some other friends and there we had a nice fire and a HUGE HUGE HUGE, did I say HUGE firework show. My word, it was HUGE, there were SO many fireworks on that beach. I MYSELF loved it, I saw so many different kinds of fireworks, it was NICE! The kids (a friend of mine and my kids) were so busy taking care of the dog in the tent, they would come out now and then to watch, but I think they LOVED playing with the dog MORE:) It was cute.
We really enjoyed good company and AGAIN relaxing while the kids ran ALL over the dunes and playing. My friend had a really good spread for us, she made mac salad, tri-tip to roast on a stick and hot dogs and of course MARSHMALLOWS! We had to finally call it a night, but MAN THERE were SO MANY fireworks, it was insane! A man mentioned to us that they call it "war of the worlds" there, it was that INSANE! IT was so nice, I LOVED it, at one point I actually thought the "real" show had started and had all the kids watching, but the I realized AGAIN it was the people along the beach doing it again... SO FUN! Now that is what I call FIREWORKS!! :)
We ended our night by going to eat a midnight snack at my moms house (she was at a party and brought us home some of her left overs!!).
There are too many pictures to share on here, so I have to find the time to load them to my FB account .
