Waterslides

Two weekends ago Vicki, Heidi and I took the kids to the waterslides. I can't say enough about the waterslides because the kids tromp around the kiddie pool while I soaked up some rays. I did manage to read periodically between keeping one eye on my children at all times. The weather was perfect and the kids swam and swam. We took Vicki's trailer over to Redding and stayed in a very nice trailer park right next to the slides. The park is awesome. It has a pool, and is beyond clean. We took the kids to chuck-e-cheese one night where they had a lot of fun. I shopped for new clothes to begin my last year of school and even though it was quick was still very enjoyable.

I started school Wednesday August 8th. The class is Multi-cultural issues in education which is challenging. I support and I am an advocate for diversity but find it hard to constantly be confront with homosexuality and trying to accept when I do not. Hate the sin not the person is what I remind myself daily. On a different note...

This last weekend Travis and I took the kids to Medford. It was fun to do something just the four of us and we laid around our motel rooms and watched movies, shopped, ate out, drove around, and just enjoyed eachother. I picked up some new plants and don't know when I'll have time to plant them but I better do it soon. I still haven't cleaned my wrought iron gates which annoys me but I have so much reading I shouldn't have even blogged. Till next time

Easter Weekend

The newest member of our family is Taylor Lee. She was born on April 1st to Lily Lee Davarais (McCullough). She is beautiful and Lily is doing fabulous. I had the chance to see Taylor on Saturday and Janelle and I are going over tomorrow to stay the night with her.

I am horrible at keeping up with my pictures. I took my camera to Shasta Lake this past weekend but I was too lazy to get it out of the case and take some pictures. I promise to try and be better. Thursday, John and Vickie took Cole and Carly over to Redding and then Travis and I met up with them after I got done with school. We took our trailer to Shasta Lake again and went bass fishing over the weekend. This past weekend our family all came over to Shasta and we had Easter dinner Saturday night and there was 40 people there. It was great... Saturday consisted of a family bass tournament and coloring Easter eggs. We didn't pack up and leave till Monday morning. Carly stayed at Shasta with John and Vickie and Cole came home to go to preschool. Tomorrow when Janelle and I go visit Lily I am going to pick up Carly and Cole is going to get to stay and going fishing with his grandparents. I am very lucky to have such wonderful inlaws. We had a wonderful Easter and I am looking forward to warm weather.

This weekend I am hoping to work in my yard and plant some flowers and possibly plant some roses and a couple trees by our new dog kennel. I know that sounds kind of funny but I will have to post a couple of pictures of our new and improved dog kennel. Oh that reminds me we had our first baby calf for this year!!!! We put our bull in with our cows in June and we just had our first calf which is right on schedule. I might have to turn the digital camera over to Travis because he is better at taking pictures. Well I hope everyone is enjoying Spring and I am sure everyone is excited for Summer.....

Vacation

I know what everyone is thinking...Where are all of my pictures from the week? Well, I forgot my camera in our travel trailer which is in Redding...I am sorry and promise to post as soon as Travis gets back from his boys weekend fishing in a couple of weeks. I am excited to share all of our fishing stories with everyone.

I had a great week. We left early Friday morning and Travis pulled our trailer and I took my car and pulled the boat over to Shasta Lake. I was excited to get away from school and work and just spend time with Travis and my kids. We made it over to the lake in the afternoon after lunch in Redding and some quick stops for "fishing lures!" As soon as we reached Jones Valley we picked out our site and we loaded the kids into the boat. I was a little nervous to see how they would act on the boat but I soon found out. They were very excited and a few time Travis and I looked at eachother and tooks some really deep breaths. The next morning I went to Wal-Mart and bought a strap on highchair and Travis rigged Carly's seat into the boat. To make a long story short the kids were fabulous in the boat and Carly made it 6 hours on the lake one day.

I finished two books, laid in the sun, and ate way too much. As a side note I am currently addicted to CHEESE and costco was selling this gourmet cheese made by Yancy Fancy and like everything that costco does they discontinued it. I found the cheese online and I ordered a bunch. I have to wait two days for it to ship. Yes, she will ship well!!! Now I must hit the treadmill to be able to soak myself in cheese!!!HA.

Back to our vacation, We packed up Thursday morning dropped our trailer off to get a water leak fixed at the RV dealer and then we had lunch and made our way home. I have been doing laundry since we got home and didn't realize how much I would have. I will probably think of more to post once I have my stupid camera....
