Pismo

So it's been a while since I have update this here blog.


My family and I took a trip to Pismo and met up with friends, we camped, ate, drank and rode our quads/rhinos. The kids had a blast and the adults had a good time catching up. We only planned on staying for 3 days but it ended up we stayed an extra day. The rangers came by and said it was to dangerous to cross the river to get to the main road. It was really stormy the night before and the tide was really high.


We had the scare of our life when one of our friends and her two twin 3 year old nieces got swept into the ocean by some crazy waves. This wave came out of no where and just kept on coming. I don't know how our friend did it but she managed to hold onto her two nieces and luckily everyone reacted and helped all three of them out to safety. It was really a scary moment when I saw them get pulled under water.....thank God they were okay. The only damage was to her digital camera but that can be replaced. It seemed like everyone was at the right place at the right time. Like I mentioned before we were scheduled to leave a day earlier and my husband is the first to pull out one of the 3 year olds. I'm so glad we stayed as things could have turned out differently.


Here are a couple of my favorite pics from Pismo.

What a busy week!

Saturday: We go and watch my daughter's indoor soccer team kick some butt and win their game by like alot. I know it doesn't really matter if you win or lose.....yadda, yadda, yadda, but we won so all is cool until I get home and a few hours later my dog gets attacked by something. I head on over to the ER across town and spend a total of four hours there and about a months worth of groceries on her ER Vet bill. I don't know exactly what happened but I guess she was bitten by my neighbors dog or some crazy wild animal. All I know is I love her and I wish I had pet insurance!!! One ER visit and two Vet visits later and I tell you it is expensive.... but like I said, I love her and she is worth every penny! Oh, and my daughter also had soccer tryouts for a competition team.



Sunday: it's all about relaxing...right....not...cleaning house and another soccer tryout. My daughter gets asked to join a top competition soccer team. She was already on a comp team but when they saw her at tryouts they wanted her to move up. It took us a week to decide to have her join. We love our other team, the girls, parents and coaches are all great. This is another level of competition, committment and travel. We are happy for out daughter as she has worked hard to improve her skills and move up a level.

Monday: It's all about going to dinner after homework and such...oh, and the follow up visit with the regular Vet.

Tuesday: We celebrate our friends b-day. It's a surprise and I'm not there for that part cause my daughter has a soccer game (she's also on her school team) in another town far, far away. She fails to tell me I'm giving three other girls a ride to the game (which is normally cool by the way) which means I need to take them back to the school, not too cool since I have to be at the "surprise" birthday. You get the picture, I miss the "surprise" but it's okay I have a wonderful time once there. Here's a picture of the b-day girl.


Wednesday: Bills, bills and more bills for our business. Then it's off to run errands and pick up the children. Homework then tutoring then dinner.

Thursday:You guessed it it's Vet time again, laundry, grocery shopping, then another school soccer game and finally a romantic V-day dinner.

Friday: My friend calls me and asks if I want to scrap. She gets to leave work early...hello, yeah I want to scrap. I put pretty much everything on hold and scrap until 2:00 am. Don't get much done but we have so much fun.

Saturday: Getting ready for another indoor soccer game yeah...Before we go my husband notices that my doggy is bleeding through her bandage!!!! Okay, I know you are tired of hearing it but it's another Vet visit for me!!!! Oh, and we win the soccer game by lots!

Oh, before leaving for the game/Vet I'm walking my dog Lulu outside on our front yard and all of a sudden I hear like a crazy shwooooooooo sound. I look up and I see these to hot air balloons right in front of me taking off from a field across the way. How cool is that? So I run in and get the hubby, the kiddos and the camera cause how often does that happen?

Sunday: Cirque du Soleil very cool.

I finally finished a layout thanks to kathym over at Scrapbookaddict.com. I made a layout of some of my favorite things. She had a challenge for us to play with our stuff and scrap our favorite things. Well, I have not used buttons in some time but it felt good to use them up. This two page layout is kinda crowed, not my usual style but I have lots of favorites!!!
