This month has just gone by way to fast!

I was checking google reader and realized I have not blogged in almost 3 weeks!
Yikes! were has all that time gone! I can tell you that Oceanside has finally reached the summer temperature we like. That my girls like! we have had some fun weeks in summer camps, and swimming lessons, and now that my hair is dry we need a break and will pick up those lessons back in August. I need to start buying school uniforms again!
Something sad happened this week, my girls told me to get rid of their Dora underwear! no more Dora! they are just to old for it I guess! I wonder if the toys will be gone next? that makes me sad! I am thinking they are just to young to be done with Dora, or maybe I am just not ready for them to grow up! I am having a fun summer with them! I love them and thanks to Daddy I can do that! Thanks honey you are the best! love me!

It is late and I am getting ready to go to sleep! looking forward to tomorrow when I will get to do some scrapbooking yeah!

We had a fun 4th, we baked cupcakes, we went to the Murphy's house for a fun family BBQ, My dad and Yolanda were there as well as my brother and his family, my cousins and ant, the kids had a great time, the food was yummy (We did miss my husband who sadly was not there!)

We left the Murphy's house in Encinitas by 8 pm to meet our neighbours in vista to see the fireworks, and just as the fireworks started my hubby showed up the girls were so happy to see their father, as well as I was. This was the first

AND NOW I AM THINKING IT WAS BLURRY! but it was a wonderful time had by all! and the only family picture I will have this year of this holiday was taken by a blackberry!

Fun weekend at CKC Pasadena

Today I just had to post on the fun weekend I had with my girlfriends at CKC Pasadena.
Considering the title of my blog has the word "Scrap" which means I love to scrapbook and I would like to eventually add some pictures of some of my work, but have not had time! and I need more time! with that said I hope to be able to scrap soon!

We had some much fun at CKC Pasadena, took some classes learn new techniques, some which I will not even attempt to try again, but the goody bag had enough product to make a whole album! so I want to get started with making some! I also like to create albums for family and friends, I have way to many unfinished projects that I need to do soon!

It is summer and the kids can play outside while I can bring my things down to the garage and try to get some of my creative thoughts out on paper!

This weekend is fathers day and with that I would like to say happy fathers day to my dad! love you and see you next week! and to my hubby you are a fun dad! and the kids just love you!

Happy Monday!

It is now monday night and the girls are sleep, and my hubby is still working!

This was a tough weekend for me and also a fun weekend! My girlfriends baby shower was this weekend in Simi Valley we were up at 5:30 am or I was, the rest of the family was in the car by 7 am. The baby shower was held at her local country club, Her friend Barbara did an amazing job and I was her helper and it turn out great. Will try to post pictures this weekend, my kids had a fun time with their dad.
After the shower we drove to Paso Robles for my husbands brothers wedding held sunday at 1pm. it turn out to be a beautiful day with the family and then we drove back to oceanside that night.
What I mean by tough is that prior to this weekend events I have been working hard getting ready for them and fighting a cold, the emotional toll of it all the back and forth between me and some of my friends and family got to me and on sunday night driving back from Paso Robles this cold really hit me and I spent most of my monday in bed! need to call the tomorrow! there is just to much to do and I can't be sick.

HAPPY TO BE HOME!

Last Wednesday the girls and I left for a road trip across California (well we actually went north from Oceanside to Sonoma about 495 miles!) The good thing my girls are good travelers. It also helped that we got one of those portable DVD players, so they watched movies on the way up.

Once we got to Sonoma we had a fun time! On Thursday we went to the new museum in San Francisco with anti Janna, my kids really enjoyed looking at the albino alligator. I personally do not know what was more interesting the alligator or the enclosure. It truly looked like a swamp a fancy one (Something Fancy Nancy would say!) he had mist and trees, lots of fish and turtles to keep him company. All the other exhibits were just as fascinating to see also! there were lots of rare fish and jelly fish too!

On Friday we drove another 85 miles to Ukiah and got to spend some fun times with Grandma Lynette, it was a beautiful drive, lots of wineries on the way I wanted to stop, instead I just took some pictures. The girls were happy to see their grandma and not to happy that we could not stay longer! we will try to go back to Clear Lake this summer!

Saturday the girls played with the new fun toys yaya surprised them with (arts and crafts! give a child a crayon and they are so very happy!) and then we spend the rest of the afternoon at the park in Sonoma playing and watching the ducks and the people. kids and parks they go very well together! we then had a nice dinner with the family!

Sunday after breakfast we drove home! we had a short drive at the Golden Gate Bridge and took some photos there, we also had a chance to stop by Anti June's house and got to see June & Jeff and the cousins (Kenny, Shelly and Kayla also Vicky and Amanda and just when we got there Lori Alyssa and Blake) for a little bit. Then we were home safe and sound by 10 p.m. Sunday night! and yes so glad to be home! in hot sunny Oceanside.
