He looks like Caillou!

'Josh!!! AHHHHHH....' that's what I said when I walked in...

'He looks like Caillou' is what Deveon said about this little nugget of mine...ughhh...It was an accident but I was still pretty mad! Honestly he didn't mean to go that short but for now I think he'll wear hats til it grows in a little more...His smile is killer though...

Simi Summer 2009

Part One...

This year our summer trip to Simi was 2 weeks of staying at Josh's parents' house while they vacationed on a Cruise...We house-sat and Josh held down the drug fort at the Pharmacy. Since we just couldn't bear to leave and be without our best friends from here in Elk Grove, we decided to drag them along with us...{if were going down, your going down with us sort of a thing- weird I know} Anyhow, they came and joined us and stayed and played for a week and then we did our mini vacation to Disneyland as our last rah before they headed home and left us to our secret world...Simi Valley {in the 'mountains' as the kids call it-we don't really have'mountains' here in Sacramento}

During our first week we managed to fit all this in...{in between my kiddos throwing up here and there just for fun!}

Yummy Dinner at my mom's to kick off the week

{mmmm chile verde from Carillos...}

Six Flags Magic Mountain

Red's BBQ mmmm...

Swimming

Ventura Harbour

{to see all the boats and eat Fish n Chips at Andrea's...sooo good!}

I love this Photo

Bright n Early the next morning {actually it wasn't bright yet} Josh's bro Jared and wifey Shannon came and met us and the bros were off to the start line while Shannon and I were off to wait for them at their 6mile mark and their 11 mile mark to refuel them with water and gatorade...that was fun seeing them thruout the race {thanks Shannon for taking me along and mapping it all out;)}

The Proud Racer and his fans {and Disneyland means big business with those medals they hand out to the runners who finish under 3 hours}

We stayed and played in California Adventure for a while until Josh's poor feet {and Grandpa's} couldn't take any more miles...And we finished off our weekend with dinner at Knott's Berry Farm's Chicken House...{yum, fried chicken and lot's of old memories of the old pageant gang.}

Part Two to come soon...{when I get a minute, or two}

Technical Difficulties

I am back from our 2 week long vacation {if you can call it that} after all the puking but it was mixed with good family fun, cousins, Disneyland, Magic Mountain, beauty pageants, swimming, beach, new friends, old friends and shopping...Love Simi Valley...I have many things to post about so as soon as my laptop comes home we will share many memories with all! {My PC is getting a facelift after losing her letter 'K'} so just another week or two and we will be back on the blogging train...Otherwise see us on Facebook for updates on this crazy little thing called life...
