I SURVIVED DRIVING IN SAN FRANSISCO!!

at 08/12/09 6:42PM
The girls and I are back from CA and it was an amazing trip.
My two girls, Kirsten & Emily and my two nieces, Chantelle & Sarah took a trip to Folsom & Dublin CA
Emily and Sarah spent the weekend with Katie Dickey in Folsom
I took Kirsten & Chantelle to Dublin for the Youth Forum...topic: Sacrifice
One of the speakers was Scott Gardner...and in chatting with him, we found out we went to FC together (:
It was crazy! He's an amazing speaker and I got to chat with a very wise man who gave good advice...thank you Scott.
The ride to CA was a 'party in a van'. The girls were crazy...dancing...singing...laughing...texting...
The trip home was fun too, we stopped at any exit along the way to take pictures and found some really cool places.
We stopped at some friends cabin at Lake Shasta to spend the night and finished the drive Monday morning.

Fun times with my girls and nieces
I just love it
This was our third year and we're ready for next year

    That sounds wonderful! You are doing your girls a great service by taking them to this every year. And you are creating memories with them. Wish I had been in the party van!!!

I SURVIVED FC OREGON CAMP AND SOCCER CAMP AT THE BEACH

at 08/04/09 10:20PM
and now here we come California! We leave in two days.
My girls and my two nieces are headed to Dublin CA.
Leaving at 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, stopping for a Mocha, then on the road to CA.
We'll meet up with the Dickey's in Vacaville CA at In & Out Burger to drop off Emily and my niece Sarah, they will spend a few days with Katie...hi katie!!
Then head on to Dublin with Kirsten and my niece Chantelle.
I'll spend some fun time with friends and the girls will be at the Youth Forum.
And then we'll all head for home on Sunday.

I'm still so tired from the two camps, hope I do okay with this twelve hour drive to CA. I'll have the girls partying in the van, so that should keep me awake (:

    Sounds like a lot of fun! Wish I could go to Cali w/you guys! Be safe! xxxoo

Chicken in the crock pot
Just got thru cleaning the kitchen and the living room
Off to go try to find a tree for our front yard
Then I'll come back home and clean the bathroom
Then school pick-up
Then I'll fix chicken enchilladas for dinner
Then I have to go into work for about four hours
Then I'll go watch Kirsten's indoor soccer game
And I guess that about does it for my day (:
Hope you have a fun one too!

AMERICAN IDOL...

at 05/15/09 2:25PM
I was so bummed to see Danny leave ):
But, I would have been bummed for any of them to leave.
I like all three.

Whose gonna win next week? Kris??? OR Adam???
Hmmm...
  • derbydi
    Hmmmmm??? I feel like Adam will win, although I'd love to see Kris win it. He's so Americanish! I think they will all be successful--even Danny. :-)
    Would love to see you...or just chat with you!
