I'm Special.

...so, my blog was so awesome that I had two layouts on top of each other. not cute...now I'm attempting to fix this...not so easy. Thank you to Lee Lou and Shabby Blogs for your great FREE pretty layouts. Too bad I'm not smart enough to follow your simple directions...seriously..it's not you, it's me.
This is ridiculous...

Fun Short Week!

If you live in Southern California chances are you have or at some point will have a pair of these...Rainbows!

And due to the fact that we wear them year round, dropping $130 for three pairs of these bad boys doesn't even piss me off.

This is Abigail's second pair..this picture doesn't highlight the worn down 1/8 of an inch sole...they had a good life...2 1/2 years!

I need these for work next year! I ♥ Vans

This SWEET ride totally impressed my kids. "It's a Barbie car!" My darling husband took it upon himself to drive around the block so I could get a picture of it. Love him!

Got our skate on@Holiday!

Is it bad that I grumble to myself about how much my KIDS slow me down when I'm trying to get my speed skate on? They need to step it up.

Skate admission included this fabulous meal... unfortunately it was delicious and I wanted another one...seriously.

I bought this huge jar of kraut just for me...and just for the JAR!

The little peeps had some little friends over...pizza, rainbow cupcakes, Barbie's and then Tangled...though the girls got bored of the movie pretty quick and went back to playing...Brad & I were totally into it.

May Flew By...

I REALLY wanted to post about May before it's toooo far into June...and since it's 6:30am on Wednesday, June 1st and I have two ravenous girls I have to wake up I will only be posting the pictures I uploaded the other day...perhaps I shouldn't lay down at 8:30pm to read to my kids and fall asleep...I might actually accomplish a  few things in the evening...or whatever.♥

Here is what 2 free bag of compost dirt look like. Thank you CR&R.

We had a crazy busy Girl Scout event that I actually planned...Beach Trash Clean Up with Zero Trash

in Laguna Beach, then lunch at El Ranchito, then a tour of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center

Somehow all the time worked out and the day went smooth. The girls had a lot of fun!

YaY for 4th grade science fair projects...the potato clock (I, yes I got an A+...makes up for MY A- that I got on my Mission Report!)

Daisy Troop trip to the Fire Department....sooooo cool! We all went for a rise through the beautiful streets of Wilmington...not really...it's in the ghetto in Long Beach..but still awesome! Miss my freeway on the way home..got lost in the ghetto of Long Beach.

We had a Memorial "Celebration of Life" party...yes PAR-TAY for our friend that passed away last month, Peggy Jean.

This white bag is Peggy...the guest of honor♥

Bradley, pretending to look drunk

My friend had pictures I took last year blown up into huge posters, they came out great...reminded me why I love my camera.

Did you know I LOVE to karaoke? It's not cute.

My goal orientated cousin Tabitha graduated from CSLB...we partied it up on a boat...cruisin' the Long Beach Harbor...I got lost on the way there and ended up in the ghetto (yes this is a theme with me).

Thank You.

Last year my mom, the girls & I took a whirlwind trip to D.C. & Virginia...in honor of today here are some shots from our visit to Arlington...they have the most beautiful cherry blossoms!

Thank you to all of the brave men & women who are or have fought for our freedom♥
