Lady Antebellum & Tim McGraw

Here are the pictures from the concert, courtesy of Joanna. We were a tad camera happy!

Before the concert

Pretty San Bernadino sunset

Please note the shirtless cowboy dancing all by his big self!

Still waiting...

It was otherwise a real nice picture!

Strikin' a pose

I really like this one

Yes, we were that far away. It was still awesome though. Those big screens were really clear.

Marina Park

Kayley's class went to Marina Park the other day on a learning trip. I'm glad I was able to go because it was really fun for her!

They waited so patiently for their turn on the zip line...

...and Kayley was so excited!

They learned about the sand dunes...

....and rode to and from the beach in the bus with seatbelts!!!

I don't know about you, but as a kid I never had seatbelts on my bus. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that idea! Doh!

Five Fabulous Things

1. I lost two pounds last week!

2. Lindsay is probably coming home to visit!

3. Just a few more days until Tyler can put weight on his leg!

4. Kayley will be a first grader next week!

5. Santa Barbara city college is out for summer and there has been no traffic at all on the way to work!

Ten On Tuesday

1. Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw were amazing! Krista, Joanna and I had such a good time! There were lots of girls dressed like cowgirl ho bags and a few who actually looked pretty stinkin' cute. After tolerating big fat men practically stepping on us for an hour we got sick of them. One of the guys fell on top of me. He told me I was pretty and asked me if I liked to have a good time. He didn't like my answer and called us bi*ches so we moved higher up and enjoyed the rest of the concert, Coors Light in hand (which is so disgusting, by the way), swaying to the music and singing Tim Mcgraw at the top of our lungs! God bless the big guy, he didn't even know what he was doing he was so wasted. Next time we'll get seats in the amphitheater and not on the grass above.

2. Cole got into my makeup bag yesterday and rubbed eyeshadow all over my sheets. I guess that's what I get for leaving it out!

3. Cole told me that God plants seeds in the mommies belly and it grows into a man. Haha.

4. My favorite thing to do is read to the kids. They love it!

5. Today is Kayley's field trip to the beach. I took today off instead of Friday so I can go with her class.

6.Last week was a BAD week. Some happy things are happening so I'm feeling better now.

7. Katie came over Saturday and helped me do some housework. It was one of the things my counselor suggested to help reduce stress that I jumped on right away.

8. Me, Krista and some other people are having a garage sale in a couple weeks. My proceeds will go to paying for my bridesmaid dress.

9. So, due to my schedule, I've struggled to get at least 30 min. of excercise every day. I've managed four days a week. I'm happy with that.

10. I really want to go to the water park at Lake Casitas. This weekend, perhaps.

I love you, Grandma

My grandma is getting worse and worse. She has been in bed a lot, not getting up to eat. My dad is making mortuary arrangements today. It's so sad. I cried on my way to work today. I think the kids and I are going to see her this afternoon.

I have to remind myself that the joy of the Lord is my strength. When I can't drag myself out of bed and I just want to crawl under a rock and sleep for days, He lifts my head and gives me strength to move on. If nothing else, my two crazy kids give me a reason to smile today.

Bleh, blah, blurg

Today is a blah day for me.

I saw a page on Facebook talking about doing a thing in June where you walk, run or do some other form of excercise for thirty minutes every day. I decided to do it but with a little freedom in case I really can't get it in for a day. My first day was yesterday. See you tonight, Krista!

I just need another crisis, then I can get to my goal weight!

Haha, just kidding.

Ten On Tuesday

1. Kayley pointed out to my neighbor that her bathing suit showed her boobs. Cole told her she was wearing her bra outside. The kids were rude but pointed out exactly what I was thinking. I made them apologize.

2. I'm so blessed that my parents help me out so much. My dad has been taking one kid to school every morning to make it less stressful for me. And my mom watches them after school. What would I do without them?!

3. We went swimming today and I put sunscreen everywhere except for my pasty white legs. My lil' knees are sunburnt! But I put so much all over my scars and face. We had a lot of fun racing with the noodles in the pool. What a great day it was!

4. We made rice krispie treats. Mmmm.

5. I cleaned out both cars and got the Magnum detailed this weekend. That thing was dirty. Mine was gross inside too.

6. My fridge makes weird grunting sounds.

7. I cut all sugary cereals out of our diet. We're eating cheerios, wheat squares, rice crispies and special k. No more honey bunches of oats or granola for a while. Cole is such a sweets lover. I have to do it for the sake of his teeth 'til he will let me brush better. I'm not cutting out sugar altogether, just in things he eats on a regular basis. Its good for all of us really.

8. It's so gloomy outside. I cannot believe that it's June already. 16 more days until Kayley is a big first grader!

9. Cole and I went hiking with Georgia on Sunday. We went up to a pool with a rock water slide. The water felt so good after hiking up there! And I wasn't even cold all soaking wet hiking back. It was the most fun I've had in a while. I took these with my phone so the quality isn't great and please excuse my loud voice on the video.

All ready with his pack and hat on!

He was a bit worried to go so I went down first!

10. I had the best weekend I've had in a really long time. After a four day weekend and I didn't even mind getting up for work today!

And Tyler bent his leg 92 degrees today, yay!
