She no longer has to wear her brace. But the girls plans are to play soccer in the spring and were hoping that if they can stay away from breaking bones and any injuries we should be in the clear. but the last two years they haven't been able to play because, Tay has re injured her knee twice that she fractured on her 50 motorcycle when she was 5! Megan has sprained her wrist, and Megan has sprained her leg and her arm, and Tay also sprained her arm!

Company Picnic

2010-10-03T21:13:00.000-07:00

Today Oct 3,2010 was Jon's company picnic. It was a fairly warm day. Theres a place called the mojave narrows, you can do all sorts of things at this place, you can rent horses to ride, you can camp in a tent or and RV, fish, rent a paddle boat you can do all sorts of things many people rent out this area for company picnic's because the amout of space is huge! So we all went the four of us, Kenny and Jen, Kameron & Kelsey and Lil Michael. They had three different kinds of bounce houses, they had a rock climbing wall! Which Taylor & Hunter went on at least 15 while Megan watched from the side lines because of her fractured pinky, with a sad look on her face I felt sooo bad! She wanted to do it soo bad she said she would try with one arm but the rock climb people said no! & I wouldn't let her either! She did ok though with the kids games & her & Tay both won a ton of stuff.

we all had fun though. Heres a few more pics from today. The one of just me, I was goofing around My Michael said if you had a face book what would your cover pic look like ? so I did a goofy pose haha. Facebook who needs facebook when we all have these cool web sites right??? Facebook! I will get facebook when Grandma Cookie gets a facebook account HAHAHA

More Pics!!

2010-09-30T08:40:00.000-07:00

So Finally tomorrow Megan will get her perminate cast! You would never think a darn rubber dodge ball could do some much damage to a hand! Then last saturday we were at our friends house watching the UFC fight and there were other kids there to pplay with, and she was playing with a rubber dodge ball with the other kids, I said Um Meg isn't that what broke your pinky in the frist place! She yells back NO MOM! it was a different game! REALLY KID! REALLY!! KIDS...

Here is the pic of Tay's JR.High dance, I guess no one really dresses up any more Jeans and a t- shirt will do, and a ton of make up1 Which doesn't fly in our house. But some of these kids that wear it Oh my gosh rediciolus, it's really horrible!

The lil Pink Rhino the girls would love to have HUMMM I bet all kids would love to have one right?? It's only $5,000.00... SO if you would like to don't to the my kids want this fund, please do so.. & when we hit the lottery we will be sure and return the favor and get ya back and buy your kids one :) they come in blue as well! We went to the Sand and super sport show a week and a half ago, they have everything you can emagine! They have Metal Mulish rims for our truck that I want! They are only $2,000.00 a rim, so if you would like to donate to mommy wants these I would appriciate that also :) Just kidding I cannot emagine spending $8,000 on rims alone geeze plus the tires and then worry about someone stealing them. Sheesh! But they do look really nice & I love Metal Mulish stuff.

Lots of things going on

2010-09-27T16:41:00.000-07:00

There is just so much stuff going on I hope that I can get it all into one post! Where to start ?? Where to Start?? My Aunt Holly, Which is actually not my Aunt but she has been with uncle Mike for about 17 years now so she is pretty much my aunt so we all call her Aunt Holly & I consider her my Aunt and my family & she treats us the same, she is the sweetiest person ever, and was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on Sept 2. 20210! This will forever changer her life this past Tuesday she had most of her Breast removed, they originally had only seen one tumor, but during surgery found two more. Tomorrow she will do a follow up with the surgeon and find out the whole scoop just how bad it is and she will also start Radition treatments! I always hear people say during the month of October (Which is Breast Cancer awarness month) I am running for so & so. They have so many Breast Cancer run benefits. Well the honest truth, since last May 09 I have lost almost 65lbs Oh pick up your jaws! I have been going to 24 hour fitness & eating better & we also have the gym in the house, it's more of a man gym I call it but what ever! I hate running, I know Jake might be reading this & I know he loves to run Sorry Jake :). But my gosh really, your head slamming all around and then your feet hitting the pave ment & then having to carry a water bottle in your hand & then you have to listen to the water swishing back & forth I mean really?? Oh & did I mention that I have a bunk right knee that is bad I have already had surgery on it once and I need it again, but it was sooo painful that I will never do that again! So when I do run, & mind you my knee like to give out on my usually when theres a lot of people watching me & I jerk, I don't usually fall. But I look like I am running a race for the handicaped! Hum picture that! Cute hu. But all this brings me to thinking about running a race in October for Holly! They do a lot of them where we live! Maybe I can find one for the handicaped so I will fit in a lil bit better :)

Megan broke her pinky finger right through the growth plate, she has a half cast on now, because there is sooo much swelling! her pinky is black & blue & her ring finger is as well & the top of her hand is all blue. On Friday Oct 1st she gets a permanate cast all the way up to her elbow! crazy hu just for her pinky! they want to make sure that the growth plate heals well! She broke it at school playing a game called break out! Go figure!

Taylor went to her 1st Jr. High School dance last Friday! I cannot believe how fast these kids are growing up! its crazy!!

Yeah Out With The Old!!

2010-09-27T16:35:00.000-07:00

2010-08-10T22:38:00.000-07:00

We had a really fun action packed weekend. Friday we started it off by heading down to the Angels Stadium. Michael and I and the girls and then my bff Stacy and her daughter Caylyn followed us down to the stadium. Along the way we stopped at Don Jose and ate which is a favorite of Michael's and Stacy also loved the food. I don't eat much lately especially spicy foods everything affects my stomach problems, so I just ate a plane old corn taco not fried, but it was fun to see the rest of them eat all there food I think Stacy licked her plate haha! We also met up with Aunt Kathy & Uncle Gary. We Went to the Harvest Crusade which is awesome, and Christian pastor Greg Lori spoke and some really great bands played! it was a nice time. Then we decided that we would head home and get up the next morning and head to magic mountain for the day and that we did it was fun! Michael had a great idea and suggested that we all going on a roaring rapids ride! Umm NO get our hair wet, shoes went, Oh and mind you it was close to almost 8pm, so Michael graciously said he would take the kids on the water ride so Stacy and I could go on a few rides to gether and that we did. Michaels last words to us were YOU'LL SEE WE WONT EVEN HAVE A DROP OF WATER ON US! about an hour later we met back up with Michael and the girls and my oh my they were all soaking wet from head to toe! It was almost funny. This is why I doo not go on water rides like this unless I have a bathing suit on! Haha.. Stacy, Caylyn, Michael the girls and I we all had a really nice fun weekend..

When I do try and talk I sound like and 80 yr. old smoker who can barley haggle out a word its horrible and it sucks, Taylor is also sick, she is starting to get bad as well. I cannot sleep at night, it really sucks! Yah I know what your all thinking wow we have finally shut her up!hahah but I still have my text messaging :) Megan had to have oral surgery on Saturday Dec.12,09. On the inside of her lip, she has a piece of skin that was connected to her lip and gums that wasn't susposed to be & it was causing her a lot of pain & finally after fighting with the darn insurance company for 6 months they finally approved it! She is doing well her lip,nose, cheeks, and under her eyes are also swollen, I didnt want her to go to school to day but she insisted. She has 20 stitches in her mouth! The kid is a tough lil cookie!

I am just so glad that he broke them both & it wasn't me :) & our master bathroom w/ Jacuzzi tub but that also isnt finished yet, it needs dry wall texture & tile. But that & one other room is all that is left and the house is complete. Oh except for the master bedroom that Michael made into a huge walk in closet for me he has to do all the shelfes, drawers and hangs the sliding doors other wise the house is done. & one more thing.

Even Longer Time No Blog!!

2009-12-03T19:30:00.000-08:00

Time sure does fly when your having fun! So I haven't been on here since August but I have an early New Years! Resolution! Those are dumb & who ever sticks to them RIGHT!! ?? well Hey I am going to try ok! I am going to get on here and post more often Ok!! So last Night Dec. 2nd! We spent our 1st official night in our new house! YEAH!! finally after 5 months almost to the exact day that we bought it (June 5th) we move in!! all the hard work, blood mostly Michael's bloo,d sweat, once again mostly Michael's and tears mostly mine from the whining cause it was taking so long. hahah and we did get help from Michael's Twin brother Brandon with the house, other wise we and by we I mean Michael haha I was what you would call the Foreman! You know I was in charge of making sure things were straight! and getting done correctly! If we bought stuff and the was a trailer full of stuff I made sure that it was properly tied down correcly! Of course hello who else was going to do that? Humm? We never lost anything nothing ever flew out! we did have the water heater fall over! and that was all because Michael didn't listen to me on how to properly tie it down! he did end up pulling over and I instructed him how to propely tied it down! I was shussed! and told to get back in the truck! I yelled from the passenger seat! I was told he drives 80,000 pounds daily and he never has any problems.. Hummm THAT I HEAR OF!! & I am gonna share this really quick & yes he did get a ticket in Vegas last year when he was hauling a flat bed and the ticket was for not having enough load lockers and tie downs hummm, I bet if I was there he would have! Well his company did take care of that ticket cause the owner did tie that load down! but still if I was there I bet I wouldn't have gotten the ticket You hear what I am saying! Women are just overly cautious!

So in this whole remodel. I was the drinks and the go get the paint mixed, and take this back cause I got the wrong thing! I did paint though I do like to paint! Best of all we have 2 little slave drivers! O Taylor and Megan are the best! Kenny Michael and I all grew up in the Junk yard we all had to work, and so do my kids. I the middle of our remodel my dad (WALK-DOG) bought a rental house as well so we remodeled his house as well and by we you know the pattern (Michael). So they know what a screw driver, a Philips is. a Hammer, drill, they know how to use it, which is great because they worked all summer. My dad calls them the little mules. Haha my kids will be no dummies thats for sure. So when they are 40 and they find there lucky man! they will be very smart! I dont have many pics of the house yet. so I am adding some of Kennys race Truck Kameron. The girls and a few other. Soon dont worry soon i promise :) Love you all!!

So when you line up the b-days lil michaels is 1st, Tay's is 2nd & my mom's is the 3rd.. So how the girls reamember the birthdays (Tay has no problem remembering her own..) they saw were going 2 (Michael's is the 2nd) 7 (Tays b-day is the 7th) 11 ( my moms is the 11th) pretty cleaver they came up with that on there own..
So on April's fools day I tried to GET PEOPLE GOOD sort to say.. But no one believed me -it's my own fault cause i mess w/ everyone all the time. I never say some one died or they were in an accident-that's just horribly wrong.. So I can't punk lil Michael, because #1 we punk each other all year long and #2 were soo much alike so we teamed up to try & get my dad good. He was in a car accident in the begining of March, so I went to the yard & I came running in his office screaming o my gosh how did you already get a dent in ur truck you just got it fixed.. he said yah rite. I said ok what ever but that is messed up someone already hit it. I said why would I lie, I said cause it's april fools..haha ok well I didnt get him, but I did jinx him because now he really does have a door ding on the side were the truck got T-boned.. SORRY DAD!!! Ok So Jen & I team up to get my mom she had bought lil Michael a lap top for his birthday, So I called her at work. Actually I paged her @ work-that always freaks her out a lil. SO she calls me back & everytime I page her the 1st thing she says is whats wrong. I said mom the lap top crashed. She said oh no it didn't It's April fools. She said she had to go, well because she was giving a presintation when I had paged her.. OOPS.. So my last punk of the day were at my mom's house its almost 10pm, & I walk out to my car & get an idea hey kids lets punk Kutiee.. They are game, I said ok were going to act like I rolled back in to Kurtiee's truck.. ( its a white 06 dodge, chrome rims, its super nice looking & he just got it) so I tell the kids stay away 4rm me because they couldnt quit laughing. So I come storming in say where is kurt, Kathy is rite in front of me she says whats wrong I said I just backed into Kurts truck, I saw the look on Kathys face like Ohh no.. I winked @ her & she smiled, so Kurt is on the playing the piano & mind you he can hear everything that I had just said. I said Kurt I backed into ur truck I am sooo sorry, he's still playing the piano. I said i am sooo sorry he said its ok well let the insurance handle it ( in my head I am thinking come one get pissed after all I just susposedly backed into your new truck.. He stands up and says its ok dont worry about it.. I said hey Kurt I am just kidding, he said so u really didnt hit my truck I said no APRIL FOOLS>... he was like oh ok give me a huge & goes back to playing the piano.. hahah I think that I punked Kathy, not Kurt haha.. so funny.. But really I wish that everyone in the time of a real accident could act calm & mature in the case of an accident. Lil Michael back into my Expodetion w/ his Camry.. & hey I didnt get mad, honestly it was funny, after I realized all he did was break out my tail light.. His drivers side of his Camry was & still is completely trashed smashed up door, fender & ripped off his mirror.. HAHA thats not the funny party though. The funny part is that litterally I jokingly said dont hit my truck & 5 seconds later crash.. HAHA o well live & learn .. I should post stuff more often so that I dont have to write so much on 1 post.. haha

Megans 9th Birthday

2009-03-31T22:29:00.000-07:00

As most of you know on Feb. 26th Megan turned 9 years old. She was surprised to a lil party at Chuckie Cheese's. She got lots of presents from all of the family. I think Grammie Linda & Aunt Coffee spoiled her the most.. & she loved every minute of it. She especially loved the Choclate cake that aunt Coffee made personally for Megan.. & The yummy yummy cake that Auntiee Jennifer made Megan.. which she also loved.. SHe had a great Birthday & she said that she cannot wait until next year's b-day..

Track Meet 3.28.09

2009-03-31T22:03:00.000-07:00

On March 28. 09 Taylor & Megan had a track meet. This is the 3rd year for tack for Taylor & it's Megans 2nd year. Both kids really enjoy it. Megan ran the 50 meter & the 100 Meter. Megan was in 1st place on the 100 meter, but she stopped running when she saw a judge standing off to the side. But if she would have kept running she would have gotten 1st place, she did sooo good. She got 4th place on both races. Taylor ran the 200 Meter & the 400 Meter. On the 200 meter she got second place. & the 400 Meter she got 4th place. She also ran a relay race where they pass the baton, her school came in 4th place in that race. But She & her friend Caylyn are 10 years old, ran against 13 & 14 year olds, which 4th place is awesome considering there kids had 3 & 4 years on them. The reason why they were asked to run with the older kids was that the school would have had to fore fit because the kids that were supposed to run those races never showed it. It was a fun day, a little bit intense but a good day. & both of the girls had a great time.

Updates.

2009-03-31T21:55:00.000-07:00

Well hello all. I know that I haven't been on here in over a month. A lot has been going on. I went back to school & last week & now this week the kids have been on spring break. On March 14th sadly Michael's Gpa passed away, after a long fight for his life. He went peacefully to be with the lord. On March 20th there was a very nice service for him at a Catholic Church & then he had a very nice service at Riverside memorial, it's a veterans burial area. It was very nice, & he got the 7 gun salute, & each gun man fired off 3 shots. That solo trumpet was very sad and so lonely all by it self. When that trumpet played I saw a lot of people moved to tears. We think about him daily, but we know he was a strong man & a good person, who fought until the day he died. It's hard for Taylor & Megan to understand, but they know that Gpa is now a star in Heaven with there Uncle Jason, & both girls can see them at night when the stars are shining bright. This was the best way that we could explain it to them, & that he went to live with God where there is no pain & suffering & everyone is happy..

NHRA Races

2009-02-13T10:02:00.000-08:00

Back in November Michael took me to the NHRA races for my birthday-The owner of Michael's company that he works for is very generous, so he gave Michael 2 VIP passes to these races. Michael surprised me & took me there as a late birthday present. Let me tell you this was so awesome. We had the VIP passses so we sat right at the starting line, the VIP section has there own designated section. We had a buffet it was sooo yummy, it was all under these huge white tents that were roped off for the special VIP's.. We had a blast that day what a rush just watching the races. Because we were soo close to the starting line the stands just vibrate. Stacy had warned us make sure u bring ear plugs its loud, so we bought some one the way down the hill. You squish them into your ears. So we are walking up to our seats & the dragsters start there engine, not to loud you can hear the roumbling sound great i am getting pumped, so you smell there exhaust its so strong at some points it would burn ur throat. But it did smell good. Kinda like when you start a 2 stroke motorcycle & you can smell the mix, like that but even better. So Michael & I are walking up the stands dragsters started not to loud right.. I am thinking hum maybe Stacy has sensitive ears, so boom green light for the drags to start.. O my Gosh the loudest noise you have ever heard in you entire life, Michael & I cover our ears & run to our seats as fast as we can. Holy crap Stacy wasn't kidding. But it's definately a huge rush. John Force & his daughters & the rest of his racing team were there. What a fun day, I want to go again. The drivers of the drags were giving away there slicks, I wanted 1 soooo bad. Michael wouldn't le me :( he said what the heck would you do with it, I sai I don't know keep it in the garage and look at it.. haha Maybe next time I will get a slick..

Well Grandpa Leo -Michael's Grandpa. The poor guy isn't doing to well for the last 4 weeks hes been bounced around from one place to another. On the 9th of January he was taken to St. Bernardines Hosp. spent almost 2 weeks there, then he was sent to Ballard which is a rehab center, this was to get him strong & to get hime up and moving around again. Then he was taken back to St.B's then he started doing really good & was sent to a really nice Facility in Rancho Cucamonga Grandpa lasted 3 or 4 days there I think & now he's back at St.B's in ICU. Currently since saturday, he had a seizure, then a few hours later he had a stroke, he was on blood thinners to disolve a blood clot in his right arm, but he threw up so much blood that he had to have a blood transfusion AGAIN!!! he now currently has a blood clot in each arm, he hasn't urinated in 3 days & his body is swelling from all the urine going in to his body. He really dosen't know whats going on hes really out of it which is sad. Michael & I went down to see him last saturday and he looked so good his color looked good, he was talking & joking .He was sayng he was getting outa that place & going home. We had a really really nice 2 hour chat with him, then saturday night everything changed. Poor guy, he suffering. Please pray for him & for our family during this really hard time. Love & prayers to you all..

For my graduation we had a party at my mom's house before I graduated, my mom, Jon, Kenny Jen & Kameron, Michael & tay & meg, Rachel & the kids, Stacy & Aaron & kids were all there for a nice lil party before the graduation. Then after graduation my dad, candy lil Michael, Rachel,Stacy & Aaron, Michael, Taylor, Megan,Colin & Caylin all joined in on the fun at Apple Bee's.. We had some drinks & dessert & a lot of laughs. We stayed until they closed, the kids started an ice fight.. at first we told them to stop because thats unacceptable behavior to act that way in public, then we realized how fun it was an we all had an ice throwing fight.. No one told us to sop, we even requested cups of ice & the waitress brought them, after all it was a celebration RIGHT??? haha good times, good times..

X-mas Eve @ our house!!!

2009-01-29T19:28:00.000-08:00

We had a really nice x-mas ever at our house. My dad, Candy, Lil Michael, Kenny, Jen & Kameron, Uncle Mike & Aunt Holly, Stacy,Aaron, Caylyn & Colin. Uncle Steve even stopped by to see Uncle Mike & dad. We had a few beers & some laughs..

Christmas Morning!!

2009-01-29T18:00:00.000-08:00

It's so funny because as a kid I couldn't go to sleep fast enough on X-mas eve, because Mom always said Santa isn't comming until he knows that your asleep. Well NOT my kids they wouldnt go to sleep.. Megan ended up having a crying fit & a little screaming because she didn't think that Santa was real, thanks to the lil booger heads at school. We told her if you don't believe then you don't get gifts. Right well she could have cared less. So we had to have santa & a few of his helpers text message Michaels phone so Megan would know that he was real.. So Megan & Taylor stayed up until almost 11:30. I said that I would stay awake & watch for Santa.. Boy was I tired. Come the next morning, I am tired as ever as are the kids. at 8:30 Michael woke us all up to his shreaking that Santa had come. I kept thinking what on earth is wrong with him, why would he wake us up like this.. haha the kids flew out of bed soooo fast..
