2012/2013 Re-Shoot
Victoria and Juliana decided to copy a pose from a picture of them last summer....maybe they should do this every summer.....maybe they should come up with a new pose for next summer....?
Vicki Sees Uncle Monte
G&G Mik, Jocelyn, Juliana, and Vicki drove up to my brothers house to have dinner with him after he got off work tonight. She was sooo excited to see her Uncle Monte!
Ryan's Birthday Dinner
Ryan wanted to go to Golden Coral for his Birthday Dinner. We went after Scouts. We had gone to Cold Stone before Scouts so I think this was the first time I had not one single dessert there!!!!
G & G Miks Birthday Gift
Ryan was really excited about his birthday gift from G&G Mik!!! He got it all assembled and was a happy camper!!! The grin says it all!
200 Pounds 12 Years Ago!!!
12 years ago on this night I arrived at the hospital to deliver an almost 9 pound baby Ryan I was 200 pounds!!! The only time I have EVER out weighed The Dude in Cammies! I was miserable and the toxemia was not making it any easier!!! Was VERY glad to be having contractions a week before my due date and delivering a healthy baby a few hours later! It was a VERY painful delivery as Ryan had done a half turn right before it was time to make his entrance! In the ultrasound taken just prior to delivery it showed his head down and ready to go with the cutest expression on his face! I had this horribly painful contraction which must have been his half turn because when it was time to make his entrance he was coming out behind first and his Doctor had to turn him! I'm not sure what hurt worse.....the needle poking a trail along the birth canal to numb me prior to turning Ryan or seeing Ed's face as he watched me getting shots there. I thought he was going to pass out and he wasn't even feeling the ouchy pinchy needle pokes!!! It was a wonderful relief to get that baby out of me and by the time I left the hospital I had dropped almost 30 pounds!!! I was retaining sooo much fluid it hurt to bend my fingers!!!! I can't believe that was 12 years ago! 9/11 hadn't even happened yet....
My Baby is 12!!!
Ryan turned 12 a little after 2 am this morning.....the lil guy is 12!!!! The time has gone by soooo quickly!!!!

Summer Carpet Cleaning, EARLY!!!
I usually wait until school starts to pay to have someone come clean the carpets, but The Dude in Cammies should be here in about a week snd tge professional peeps do a much better job than the steam cleaner i have, so i got it done about a month early! Want everything perfect for when my guy gets here!!!! Love that nice fresh smell when the carpets are all steam cleaned....I also like that empty room look....tempting to keep everything crammed into the dining room....but the boys think they can eat their food on the couch now! Yep! Furniture is headed back to the living room!!! There will be no watching movies on the DVD player laying on the couch and eating food just because the couch is in the dining room!!!!
Bella Attacks The Wolf....Again....
Bella seriously must have no idea that she is a miniature! She kept looking up at me with ferocious faces like she was just tearing up Miss Wolfie. She had no idea Leah was just humoring her....

Sweet Frog
The boys were sooo boring in their choices at Sweet Frog!!! Mine was totally delicious!!! They were totally happy to get a frozen yogurt after the torturous Spin Class!
We Found A Fun Room!
We found a fun room today! It had exercise equipment geared towards kids 5 and older and even an Xbox with Kinnect. The best part was their was adult treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals!!! How cool is that!!! Go and work out with your kids who aren't old enough to go to the main gym! There were also 4 flat screens so parents and adults could watch TV and exercise!!!! Ty and Ryan tried it out and gave it a thumbs up! Would have LOVED something like this when my kids were younger!!!
It's Vicki!
When we were at the Youth Sports Office signing up Ryan for football the boys were looking at all the team pictures on the wall and I heard them cry out, "There's Vicki!!! There's Vicki with her football team!" It was so cute how they were excited to see her hanging up on the wall!
Empty Couch
After Spin Class we headed over to the Youth Sports Office to get Ryan all signed up for Football. I went to take a picture of them sitting on the couch to send to The Dude in Cammies of our daily outings and they saw me, got up, and than all that was left was an empty couch!
Good Morning Spin Class
I woke the boys up this morning and told them to eat breakfast and get ready to come with me to the gym for my Monday morning Spin Class. They were all full of grumbles....that subsided a little when I told them I had made chocolate chip muffins that were downstairs on the kitchen table. Sooo, after muffins and breakfast drinks and Ryan trying to say he was sick and than that he sprained his ankle we headed to the gym. I got them all situated on their bikes and showed them how they could adjust the tension on their bikes and than it was peddle time!!! They were fine for the first 15 minutes.....after that it was all down hill, well actually soon the up hills started and the questions of "When is this class over?!!!" I just gave them the Mommy Giggle. Ryan was almost in tears, but neither gave up!!!! They made it thru and were like, "How do you do this every day?!!!" I laughed because today was an easy day! Usually I have already rowed for 40 minutes, done weights and abs before Spin Class and than I go swim my laps! I'll be heading back tonight to finish my work out....They both were like, "you weren't kidding when you said we would be soaking wet in sweat!" They also said they never want to do that again!!!

Pillow Talk
I just wanted to crawl into bed but Leah and Bella were laying on one of the pillows singing to each other. I should have videoed it, but I really didn't think they were going to be going on and on!!! They were just belting out some doggie tune to each other. I loved how Bella had her paws on Leah's chest. They were clearly trying to be top Diva! When they finally finished I asked who was Wilson and who was Phillips? They clearly did not get it! Maybe they thought they were each Celine Dion!
Historic Bubble Gum Wall
Vicki and her soon to be cousins had a great time at the Historic Bubble Gum Wall in San Louis Obispo! They are on their way to San Fransisco with a pit stop in SLO for a Mini Triathlon and than they will finish going up North where Vicki will see her Julianna and the rest of the Northern California family!

Walking The Girls
I took the girls on a walk together! Usually each dog gets their each one on one time with me on their walks, but I thought I would see how these two would do together....they did awesome!!!!
I loved their shadows!!!
She walks like she owns it....
And Leah is just AWESOME!!!!
And Jasper is always predictable.....always, always takes a giant poop on his walk, sometimes 2 poops and has taken 3 poops!!! I think he likes me walking around carrying a bag of his poop!!!

Washing The Rockers to Wasp Stings
I sent the boys out to scrub the rockers and little table on the porch....I came out to check on them and found them soaking wet, laughing hysterically, wasps flying angrily EVERYWHERE, both boys with wasp stings, and one of my rockers in the middle of the front yard!!!

Big Summer Gator
This is the gator that was hunted and killed not to far away from our house after it attacked and killed a families 80 pound husky that got a little too close to the waters edge! They think it was about 50 years old! I would freak if this surfaced next to my canoe or kayak!!!!
Morning Reading.....With Fur Balls
When I left for the gym this morning I had to take this picture of all 4 fur balls gathered around Ryan while he was doing his morning reading....they just love him! I wonder if he was reading out loud to them when I wasn't around....? The things we'll never know ;)

My 45th Birthday
Since it was my birthday the boys were going to do whatever I wanted to do today.....the day started with them joining me at my Aqua Spin class! They liked it and had fun even though they were the only kids. They got a lot of attention, even from the cute life guard chick who was teaching the class.
Next stop was the library....I had to do some stuff for Ed where I needed better Internet than what we have. The boys love the library, so they were fine with that! When I was done I found Ty buried in a book, what else is new?!!!
And Ryan was in the Teen Room playing a game on the PS3. He loves playing in there and usually always has the room to himself!
Next stop was Cold Stone. Grandpa Ed and Debbie had sent a gift card for me to go there on my Birthday. We did! And it was delicious!!!!! Notice our lovely pool hair we've been sporting all day!?!
It was a great day!!!!
Vicki Goes To The Zoo
Vicki took the train with her soon to be cousins to the San Diego Zoo. She hasn't been there since we were stationed in So Cal in 2003. She had a great time! I love that place! We always bought yearly passes and averaged going there about once a week....miss that place....our strollers clocked a LOT of miles there!!!!
My Birthday Pictures!!!
The Dude in Cammies sent me 2 pictures for my birthday!!!! I'm in heaven!!! He's been gone over 8 months and I finally got a picture of him!!! Best birthday present EVER!!!!
