#1 Reason Not To Send Your Husband To The Grocery Store!!!

Okay, so Rick went to the grocery store to pick up a few things that we needed for dinner. He came home with something that was not on the list!! A new dog!! Rick has been longing for some canine companionship of the male kind. He saw this little guy, another chihuahua, that he thought looked like the mini version of our late lab Harley and he just could not resist. So now we officially have 4, yes you read it right, 4 dogs!! Oh well, now you can officially say our house has gone to the dogs!!

The Lighting at the Mission Inn!

We have made a family tradition of attending the lighting at the Mission Inn for the past few years!! The kids love to watch them flip the switch and turn the lights on and then watch the fireworks in amazement! This year we had a great time, sipping hot chocolate and oohing and aahing over the fireworks!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well I hope that every one had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We enjoyed a relaxing day at our house with all of the family. We even had a video conference with my parents, thanks to the webcam that they sent us!! It was good to see their smiling faces and all of the family in South Carolina! I just thought that I would list a few things that I am thankful for:
1) My wonderful family. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and two awesome kids! I have also truly lucky to have parents and in-laws that are absolutley wonderful. My sister and her family, love ya sis!!
2) Our health, Rick's back had been doing well until last week when we took a sudden step back in the healing process, but day by day he is getting better again!
3) Friends, what would life be with out friends, need I say more!
4) My home, everyday I realize how lucky I am to have a home to call our own!

Catch that Ball!!

Well baseball season is winding down!! Brandon has done a super job. He has had a chance to play a lot of different positions, but he has found his favorite. CATCHING!! Way to go little man!

Fun in Lake Arrowhead!

This weekend we went up to visit Rick's brother James and his family. We had a blast, the kids and a few adults rode their dirtbikes at a place close to James and Mary's house! Jack and Shelby are fantastic riders, way to go guys. When we came back to the house we had a fantastic meal from a place called The Cottage, visit it next time you are in the area, YUMMY!! Then Jack made all of the kids milkshakes. Thanks for the great time, we can't wait to do it again!!

Happy Birthday Emma!!

We went to my neice Emma's 3rd birthday party yesterday. She loves Minnie Mouse and she was so surprised when she came to her party. I did not get my camera until the last minute so I did not have a chance to snap any pics of the birthday girl. Happy Birthday Miss Emma!!

Trick or Treat

This year we went over to our friends Brian and Amber's house to go Trick or Treating. They had a little get together for Halloween. All of the kids had a blast Trick or Treating and then watching a few kid friendly Halloween movies like Scooby Doo and Beetlejuice! The adults had a great time too!!
