How time just goes

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...

My weekend

Saturday we went on another bike ride, we are making it a rather nice routine. I love to get my cardio workout done with my family OUTDOORS..
Later that night my mom took us to our FAV restaurant in MB, Dockside, IT IS SO GOOD!
I love my weekends.... Although today was a bit "off", Preston had a fever and said his "teef hurt" :( We went to church (regardless of the fever, ), and it was good, and he was "fine" at lunch. He took a rather long nap, and is still on the mend, the fever is doing its job.. I don't like to see him all "yucky feeling", but that is childhood... He is a trooper!




This is Prestons' fever look! AND he IS still posing:)


Cruising MB high!

Little Paul taking the lead

My weekend


I think since I always seem to be writing about my weekends, I will just title the posts "my Saturday" OR "My weekend" and stuff like that:) Its hard for me to come up with a title when I'm posting, I don't know why?

Friday: Story time for Preston (this was his second official class) he did good the first time as well as this time too, he thinks he is so big! After the kids and I went over to Target and had yucky pizza, then walked to Fashion Bug, Ross (L.P wanted a new blanket, a FLUFFY one he said), Michael's back to the car (because I forgot my coupon) and back to Michael's OH AND BACK to Ross (I forgot something). We headed home and stopped by Taco Bell (I know GROSS, all this "fast food", but L.P. was not eating good in the last week and lost a little bit of weight, SO he picked this days food-just a few of his FAVORITE CHEAPER foods ) We then went over to cut Dajas hair:) Came home to B.P laying out a NEW piece of carpet we got FREE from Craig's list (we love our garage, yes we do!) The kids flipped around on the rug:) and L.P played with his neighbor friends, and the rest of the night was a relaxing one! So for Saturday (B.P's FIRST Saturday OFF in a LONG TIME!! WOOOHOO): we left early and ran some errands (one which I did NOT know about, Paul took me to pick out a paint color for my kitchen!). After that we went to eat a quick lunch and headed over to Morro Bay for the car show. We walked around for a long time:) REALLY LONG TIME:) I don't mind car shows, but I'm not to interested in the cars, but B.P and L.P are, I just love to shop at the vender's (this show did not have to many though:( After we had ice-cream at Fosters then went over to my moms shop so I could cut the boys hair AGAIN!
We came home and relaxed in the garage a bit (we do this often, its like our family room, NO joke, I will post pictures of my garage someday with its new carpet). Put the kids to bed AND B.P started painting my KITCHEN FOR ME:) We did not get home until like 7pm and he started painting at 8:30pm!! HES SO NICE TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had told him I would like my kitchen painted a new color, so he did it:) YA ME!!
Sunday: Church, lunch, Trader Joe's, Wal-mart, home to play ALL afternoon in the wonderful weather! My Mom and Dad came over to visit with us, B.P. and my Dad talked "shop" (way to much) half the time laying under my dads ole' car! Mom and I just sat around outside with the kids and L.P two little friends. And that was my weekend:)











Is there a bee in my hair?? WHY do they always bug me?



L.P's fav. car!



Here's B.P painting, I love the color! The other pictures (below) I'm ONLY showing you the top part of my Kitchen, SINCE I took these with DISHES on the counter (CAN'T ruin the pictures you know!?!?!)..... I know OCD!






In the pictures below are B.P's photos that I matted and framed, gorgeous huh?

Sunday fun!



WOW another post, Im good!!!


So on Sunday we went to church (like always), then ate at the Templeton Deli (like always), then headed over to Wal-mart to pick up a "Shop vac" (since ours blew) and of course LOTS of other stuff we just NEEDED:). We had to be at the Karate school for L.P to take group pictures, it was SO hot in there (it was like 90 outside AND 190 inside), SO annoying! After that we went home and picked up some extra clothes and the car wash stuff and then headed to Morro Bay. IT was gorgeous there (much cooler then here, but still about 78). We met my mom at the shop and I cut all of the boys hair, quickly:) THEN we went down to the water front and took a long walk to the beach. After that we went to dinner at a very yummy seafood restaurant "Dockside", I had my regular of clam chowder and coleslaw, mom had shrimp and chips and the guys had fish and chips.
To end our day we came home to wait for a guy that had been working on our lawn mower. I posted an ad on Craigslist to see if anyone would work/fix our mower for CHEAP, and we got a few people respond P and I both agreed that this guy sounded the best. HE PICKED up our mower on Saturday NIGHT at about 9pm (when P was ready for him to come), and had it ready for us Sunday night (when WE were ready for him, he had it ready EARLIER that day but we were obviously not home) and HE brought it to US at about 9:30pm when WE got home!!!!!! AND he only charged us $35!!!!!!! HOW cool is that?!! He was really nice, and did a ton of extras that we did not even ask for. So B.P decided he wanted to give him more money, and when the guy was leaving I guess he counted his money on the way to the car and yelled for P. and said that he had given him to much money, WOW HOW HONEST! God truly blessed us!
