It's a real Mystery...

We live in a rural area of Southern California. Everyone I know has pets, whether it be dogs, horses, cows, chickens, cats, etc... Well, I am not a pet person. I think it started as a child. I was probably the only little girl that didn't want a pony. I always liked to stay clean and was much happier indoors reading a book or watching t.v. Well, when my sister wanted a pony, I ended up with one too. Then there was the job of cleaning the corral, brushing the pony, cleaning it's hooves..ugh. For a little girl that didn't like to be dirty, this was no fun! When the time came for us to sell the pony, I was happy. Well, my happiness was short lived because very soon, my sister wanted a bigger pony. When we went to go buy her one that was for sale, the owner said the pony was in love with another pony and she really wanted them to go together. So, guess who ended up with another pony? Ugh....
Fast forward 28 years....I have four kiddos now and what do kiddos want? Pets! So I bought fish. My youngest son complained that you couldn't pet fish. They wanted something they could hold in their hands. We moved up to hamsters. Okay, not so bad. They're in the kiddos rooms, afterall. But one day, my son saw me on the computer and a picture of a bunny came up. He begged for a bunny. He's the only one that doesn't have a hamster, so I finally relented and got him a dwarf bunny. We named her "Tippy" since she immediately tipped her food over once we put it in the cage. With Tippy, something changed inside of me. I could sit outside and watch her in her cage hopping around and felt peaceful. So what did I do? I went and got the girls a bunny too! The girls named her "Mystery" and she is the sweetest bunny. We let her out of her cage to hop around in the backyard and we laugh and laugh, as she throws her back legs up, jumping gleefully around. And guess what? I even clean out the cages once awhile and it doesn't even bother me. I'm not sure what has happend to me, it's a real mystery.

Fourth of July Fun!

We had such a fun Fourth of July, spent with friends and family. We did our first "Progressive" Fourth of July. First, my house for a BBQ, games and swimming. Then off to my Mom and Dad's for Salad and Bread. Next to my brother's for a Yummy Mexican Dinner. Finally, we were off to my Sister's for Dessert and Fireworks! I think we may have started a new family tradition. :)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (just not while we're camping)....

We went camping on Memorial Day weekend with another family we've known for years. We had a great time, except it snowed most of the time we were there, leaving our choices to be sitting around the campfire or huddling up in the travel trailer. The kiddos, however, were more than happy to enjoy the snow, hike, play by the creek and play tag, despite the freezing temperatures. ahhhh...to be a kid again.

The Happiest Place on Earth....

Our Family went to Disneyland a few days ago. We had perfect weather and short lines, truly making it a happy time for us all. It was our Baby Girls first time there and she absolutely loved it! She even went on the scary rides. My baby girl is growing up!

Pretty, Pretty Princess!

My husband has red hair, so I was convinced and dreamed about one of our children having red hair. Our first baby boy came out with dark brown hair, which perfectly suited him. Next came my daughter. I was so excited when she was born and saw that she had the most gorgeous auburn hair! It stayed that way for a little over a year and then lightened up to a beautiful blonde. My third kiddo came out with my color of hair...dark brown. When I was pregnant with our fourth, I knew that would be the last chance to get my little red head and was convinced I was having a baby boy with red hair. Well, turns out I had a precious little girl with brown hair. So rather than me have more kiddos, I started begging my Sweet Sister-in-law to get busy and give me a red headed niece or nephew. Well, as I told her a few months back while she had my precious newborn niece laying on her chest, she did good! My little red head has arrived!!
