Happy Father's Day

Well since we're no where near our father's and we have no children for him to celebrate... we decided to do some work around the house... I got this "gardening table" for free at a yard sale and some lime green paint as well for free... so what did I do I painted it = ) but ofcourse after sanding it properly and cleaning it .... just like daddy taught haha... But the highlight of my day had to be Sticker... So determined to get this jungle of a lawn mowed... the $20 lawn mower he purchased (at a garage sale) of course couldn't touch the lawn until being taken apart,cleaned, and put back together by him... after many door slammings, mummbling of angry words towards the thing, and evil stares when I so nicely asked what was wrong (while laid back finishing my twilight series i'm on breaking dawn for any of the twilight fans reading this) sorry dad I know you are NOT one of them... but anyways... I'm sitting in here getting to the good parts in the book... I hear this lawn mower start up... so ofcourse I jump up (carefully save my place in the chapter) grab the camera and run outside to find this

He felt like no lawn mower could ever cross his path!

and ofcourse after downloading 948 pictures we had sitting on our camera I came across this one...

A picture of my best friend Aunt Jacquie at our engagement BBQ... This picture alone is another post in itself...

Love you and miss you tons Aunt Jacquie!!! Can't wait for you to come visit me = )

Beautiful Saturday

So today we decided to spend our first saturday in Humboldt Bay garage selling it up! which is one of our favorite weekend hobbies... and we came across a GREAT deal we couldn't pass up... HP computer about a year old... and an hp all in one printer (copier, scanner, faxer) all yes atleast a year old for only $300 for all of it... which is what i'm currently using right now.. mind you the monitor is a 22" which to us is like a big screen t.v. haha but anyways back to what my post is really about... I was going through old pictures I have on my SIM card for my Cannon... and found my innocent a little over 1 (in the pictures) neice Madison... and how innocent she really looked... really made me sad to think that this 3 year old going on 30 used to be so sweet and innocent and could barely say a sentence... now you can't get her to shut up and quite frankly sometimes she can still be just downright MEAN... but she's still my sweet innocent neice none the less... JUST not THIS sweet innocent madison anymore....

McKinleyville, CA

So we finally made it to our new home Sunday June 13, 2009. We have a cute little 1 bedroom 1 bathroom duplex. with a garage so sticker is a VERY happy camper = ) I could complain because the stove is just about as wide as me and straight from the 70's but I won't because it's better then nothing. We just got out internet turned on today so i thought i was due for an update.

We will def. have pictures up soon.

In N Out

So today My dad, Adda, and I introduced Sticker to IN N OUT!
and coming from somebody who HATES fast-food... he LOVED it... I also took him to miguels yesterday and just like everyone I know he LOVED it as well =)
I mean if he didn't enjoy miguels i might have had to kick him to the curb haha... but luckily for him he enjoyed it.

Monday Mondayyyy

Today we finally get to relax for a change. No HAVING to drive anywhere... HAVING to do things all day.... the only thing planned is dinner later at my Dad and Adda's ... So I think today ... i am going to sit on the couch watch t.v... and when sticker finally wakes up get in contact with the movers. etc. etc.

But... I am very excited for dinner tonight = )

MOAB, UT

SO FAR ON THIS ROADTRIP MOAB UTAH IS BY FAR MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE IN THE U.S.

GETTING LATE... NEED SLEEP WE HAVE A LONG DAY TOMORROW... GOING TO ZION NATIONAL PARK!!! WOO HOO!

BUT BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR NEW PICTURES ...

HERE IS A TEASER I TOOK TODAY ON A HIKE...

Pictures and Videos

I had to share a couple of pictures I took the day before we left.

This one is of Grace with her new puppy Bo. In this picture grace is actually bathing her feet in watered down juice out of her sippy cup... In a sense you appluad because she realizes her feet are dirty and she is in need of a tubby. But she messed up by using the juice.

This is a close up of Bo... Cutest little puppy

We went through connecticut before this...

Realy cool sunrise in Missouri.

Trying to cover up the bags under our eyes for a quick pic.

I believe this was taken in ohio?

Letting the Pilot take a nap.

Big Tires

Me prepared to take a nap... I knew he was going to try and pull a fast one on me... So I covered up !

Where we currently are and do not want to leave!!

Now here's some video footage of some AWESOME lightning!

UPDATE ON ROADTRIP

So here's an update on our trip...
It started off in Ashburnham, MA... but that night we were driving through ohio and hit the craziest thunder/lightning storm i've seen in a LONG time... Sticker's NEVER seen anything like that in his life... Poor guy has been deprived of natural entertainment his whole life ... it definitley kept both of us awake and very much entertained... Like a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat till the end. But since my photography skills aren't that good I got some video footage = ) Right now I'm sitting at a starbucks (yuck) in Fort Collins, CO (AMAZING) me and sticker both agreed that if we could we would NEVER leave this city... Last night we ate at this place called Noodles & Co. the name says it all... nothing but Pasta & Noodles... I was in CARB HEAVEN! Today we are going to visit the New Belgium Brewery then head to Zion national park... crossing our fingers it's not raining so we can camp... then thursday morning we are heading to Oatman, Ca go visit some relatives... then home sweet home REDLANDS, CA... Probably won't be able to update very much more until redlands, Unless there's magically a wifi coffee shop in a ghost town haha. So now I leave you with pictures and videos = ) ENJOY!
