Lilly got real sick and we had to take her into the Vets. After tons of tests she had to stay 3 days in the dog hospitol. She had Pancreatitus. Here I am with Lilly when we brought her home. She is now a $1,200 dog!!!

It is nice to be home, but why am I on the table!
We have to give her meds by a tube thing in her mouth for 10 days.

You want to do what

No way

Let me think about it

Maybe I better do this

Down the hatch

What a good girl

Valentines Day 2009

Neal bought me a new 2008 Toyota Avalon fully loaded.We had Russ and Emily come down to go with Neal to "make a deal" and deal he made. He was able to get the car 800 below what the dealer paid for it and over 5,000 below the asking price. Thanks Russ!!!We love the car. Russ spent most of the day teaching us how to work all the whistles and bells.

Like Navigation, Blue tooth, 6 CD player, how to work all the signal switches, Ipod hook up, moon roof and all the short cuts on the steering wheel.

Valentines Dinner

Our 1st meal on our new table!


Emily and I had so much fun cooking and playing with the kids
while Russ and Neal played with the car.
Thanks to Emily for helping me update my blog and putting in music on my blog, I hope you enjoy "Elvis"



Tuckered out after a big day.

We went to Michael's to celebrate the 5 Birthday's.

Callie and Gracie were in January and Carol, Jaime and Neal in February.We were so excited to be able to be at the Baptism of Grace and Callie.

Steve was a real proud dad and gracie was so cute.

Ed and Callie and family flew in from Texas so the girls

who are 9 days apart could be baptised on the same day.


The girls were so cute in their matching dresses.

Here is all of our family that was able to go to the baptism.

It was a proud day for all!

Oh yea a little side note.

Jaime announced that she is expecting the end of August.

Jaime and Rebecca did a bang up job on the refreshments after the baptism

where lots of friends and family attended. The donuts were a real hit!!!

We went to Buena Park and picked up our new dining room furniture. No one will deliver to Ridgecrest! It was a wild ride home, we even had a box in the cab of the truck. We had friends help us unload when we got home. It took us hours to open all the boxes and unwrap all the furniture. Neal had to take a huge truck load of boxes to the dump.
But it was all worth it. I love our new dining room furniture. Dad still has 2 chairs to put together and re center the chandelier.
