Wow, look at that MUSTANG


This is my Madre's pride and joy. Her 1966 Ford mustang. It is all restored, and looks great again. It was in the shop, someone hit her, so they had to fix it. This was the car I drove my senior year of High School, but of course it wasn't restored when I had it... I will have to find a before photo.

Fun at Sun Splash

I met all the girls from work at Sun Splash, these were my "buddies" for the afternoon. So much fun cause they were my speed.... kiddie pool, lazy river, and the beach. Thanks for being my kiddos for the afternoon Tristan, Bray and Adyson!

Lunch with friends...

Make new friends, and keep the old... some are silver and others are gold......
These are my friends from my old ward... Shelly, Julie, Debbie, (me) Kim and Orean. We don't get together very often, but it is always sooooo much fun to catch up! I miss not being in the same ward and seeing you weekly. Lets do it again soon!

my new ride

So I have been drooling, dreaming of a LEXUS for years.... Hum, would I ever own a LEXUS, I doubted. So I get a wild hair, decided to take a drive to Superstition Lexus, and take a look. I thought in this economy, maybe a LEXUS would be down in price? Well, when the salesman approached, and showed me the sticker price, and the deals they were making on used ones, and the bottom line, payment, interest..... Well I drove home in my dream SUV, a LEXUS, 2007 RX 350 I am so excited, now I need a "road trip"...

New York pictures

Well this is a picture overload... I took over 400 hundred pictures in NYC... so here just a few of my favorites, and the ones I thought turned out well.




































We flew in and out of Newark, NJ..... just 10 minutes where Colten is serving his mission. Oh, it was so hard to know that he was so close, and I would have loved to just give him a big hug... it has been 14 months since I saw him...but how do you teach your children "obedience" if you aren't obedient.... A great lesson for me, still one of the hardest things I have ever done.

Guess where I am going????

NEW YORK CITY.... I am so excited. A friend has taken care of an elderly lady here in AZ, that lives in NY for 6 months, and here for 6 months. She gave her a round trip ticket to fly with her back to NY for a week. Carolyn has nobody to do things with and was begging for anyone to come to NY to do things with... so joking around I told her I would put in a cheap price on priceline and see what happened... Well it happened, so Hollie and I are going on quick trip to New York, we leave tomorrow (Sunday) and come back on Wednesday.... I am so dang stoked to go there. It has been on my list of things to do for years... and it is happening.... Oh, and I promise to be a good Mom, and not contact Colten who is serving a mission in New Jersey a few miles away.... Yes, I can do it, obedience is a great thing!!!!! Awww.... but I will be so close....but promise to be so far away. I had to post this and read it out loud .. ha ha... Pictures will come when I get back. I am excited, excited, excited to go....

He just woke up when we landed... he was so sleepy.

Las Vegas

THANKS Shelly for asking me to go with you on a all expense paid trip to Vegas. It was fun. Just a quick trip, left on Saturday, came home on Monday afternoon. Shelly does a bit of gambling here in AZ, and gets rooms paid for. So when we checked in at the Rio, they said they only had suites, okay no problem... So they told us we had to use our room key in the elevator to get to the 20th floor....WHAT? So yep, we had a huge 1600 sq foot suite, the kind with a door bell. I was shocked, it was awesome, this room was like what you see in the movies, huge, 2 bathrooms, a bidet, marble floors, full size jacuzzi, and a huge tv that came out of a cabinet, with a remote control. Hum, I don't think I could ever stay in a motel 6 again... But probably will, not enough in the budget for that kind of room. BUT, it was fun for 2 days.
