You see an amazing view like this and you know that God in His infinite wisdom created beauty with the sweep of His hand. One of the most beautiful scenes in the world. Look how the water reflects the colors and textures of the sky. Amazing!

The view from Seaport Village, San Deigo. We came down here for the evening and stolled through the shops. So beautiful! I'm so lucky to have family who lives here and I get to visit!

Cruisin on a Sunday afternoon! Trynette chauffeirng us around with the top down, sun shinin and wind blowin through our hair. Gorgoeus San Diego Sunday, doesn't get any better than that!

My sister the Gurly Gurl and her crown luggage. Yep, that's how she roll.

Reesie McKenna in all her party finery. Ready to get her Easter Egg hunt at school on. She looks like such a little lady, bahahahaha, looks are deceiving!

Cannyon and Maverick got taxied to Terri's office in Cannyon's wagon. They decided to pose for the pic. Good Times

The old saying "You don't know what you have until it's gone" is true. After being without my computer for a month (thank you Miss Lori for letting me use yours) I have gotten a new one! I am so excited to have my life back! You cannot believe how dependent I am on this little machine! So glad that is over and I am on it now!

Gotta be honest, from the time my grandma bought me my first pair of red pantent shoes, I have loved red. So, I had to break down and add these cutie shoes to my closet. Love em and they are way cuter in person than they are in this pic!

The 80's called and want their shirt back! Bahahaha! My sister cleaned her closet out this weekend and this was one of the more frightening things that were found. Lori and I used to think we were sweatshirt designers, and believe it or not, people actually paid us for this stuff! Talk about a flashback, I felt the need for a bonfire!

I think one of the most amazing things in the world is a baby's hand. I look at these tiny hands and wonder what these children will grow up to be. Will they use these hands for good? Will they build a life they can be proud of? How will they influence others? I'm so privelaged to have the opportunity to love so many children and help take care of them. I try to never miss an opportunity while I'm holding one of these precious gifts to pray for them, their future choices and their protection. We have a responsibility as adults to help guide them, pray for them and love them.

Good food, good friends, good night!

Maverick's masterpiece from Chilaberries. Looks disgusting, but he enjoyed it immensely!

I have the best staff in the world. This is Miss Hilary, she promised me she would wear St. Patty's day boxers over her pants today and she did! So funny! The kids loved it, the parents thought it was hysterical and the other teachers were surely jealous! I'm lucky to have Hilary as part of my team!

If you know me at all you know that I love to scrapbook. Last year I got hooked on doing the "mini" books. I have a basket in my office filled with these works of art. They are fun and each one tells a story.

On the surface, you see this as a gorgeous tree in bloom providing sweet nectar to the playground bumblebees. To me however, this tree is and unnecessary evil that promotes headaches, runny noses and itchy eyes. Yes! Allergies! So, as beautiful as this tree may seem on the outside, it truly is an evil ploy to keep me sneezing!

It's painfully obvious peeps, I am in desperate need of a pedi. Can I getta amen?

Meet the Octopus. the only thing my nephew Tristan asked for at Christmas. I found and ordered this little fella off the internet. The joy and excitement on his face when he opened it was worth the world. He is rarely without it. It is his best friend. He tries to take it to school, but mom puts the nix on that so he usually sits it in their bay window as he walks out he front door for school. Well, their dog Wednesday decided to use the favored Ollie as a chew toy. Tristan laid on his bed with the mauled Octopus next to him and cried for over an hour. I was ready to get back on line and get a new one stat. My sister Terri came to our rescue and said she would fix it for him. Tristan was hopeful and asked "is aunt Terri a fixer?" I said "yes she is". So, this morning, Aunt Terri saved the day and stuffed and sewed the Octopus back together. He is as good as new with just a few little scars. Tristan came to pick him up and is now reunited with his bff. It's good to have a fixer in the family!

MMMMmmmmmm , Chilaberries! The new frozen yogurt place in Manteca! They have a huge variety of flavors and toppings. Love this place, try it!

Miss Carmen's class made "Queen Esther" crowns today for the letter "Q". Rylee and Reese were happy to model them for me! They were great on the girls, funnier on the boys! Gotta love a good cross dressin' preschooler! BAHAHAHAHAH

Gotta say, I'm lovin' the new ear bob possibilities. Third time is evidently the charm cause my ears have taken to havin' holes in 'em like a duck takes to water! I am at the stage where I am enjoying wearing new jewelry every day! Life is good and my ears are good lookin!

This is for all you Journey fans out there. Someone decided to "tag" the stop sign leaving our street. Pretty hysterical if you ask me! So now every time i stop at that corner, I find myself singing "Don't stop believin..." It is a great message, so I think it is an asset to the neighborhood!

I found this today and love the meaning behind it. Life is going to throw us some curve balls, we just gotta go with the flow. Work with what we are given, find the silver lining behind even the darkest cloud. Lets dance in the rain while the storm of life rages around us.

Mmmmmm, my favorite gum ever! Love it! If you haven't tried it, do so!

Yep, this is what I did all day today, sleep! Now I know I won't sleep tonight! If lovin napsis wrong, I don't wanna be right!

Friday night smackdown with Maverick and Reese. Playin skeeball on the iphone, not lovin the whole "you need to share" concept.

These are my friends, Logan and Nevaeh. It was spider hat day at school and they created these fine specimens. Wearing them proudly, they posed willingly for this pic. Now you see why I love my job!

Manteca, Ca. Really? This looks more like something you would see in the midwest! I am not a big fan of storms so I will be huddling in a corner, curled in a fetal position until its over. Peace Out

Maverick decided to "spenanight" with Auntie and Grammy tonight. For some reason he has been anxious to stay on a school night. He cracks me up, love this boy.

This is my friend Nick. Nick Dillard, you might mistake him for Dr. Evil's "mini me" except he probably stands over 6 ft. tall. Nick got some "hair brained" (pun intended) idea to let Trevor shave his head. Now he looks unfortunate. Oh well, it's just hair and it will grow back...I hope! Bahahahahahaha
