OK so it has been a really really long time since i have blogged.. i will try to at least post something every day but may only be once a week lol. in the past couple months a lot has happened. Dylan and I went to Shelli and Scott's house for spring break. We went to the zoo twice while there. We had a blast the whole week. We got to eat at some new places and eat new things. well i did at least we shopped and played all week... thanks again for letting us stay. for Easter we camped out at the ranch for 3 days and 2 nights. the first night our air mattress went flat . not fun ... the next night was way better.. Dylan and I had a nice time seeing family we don't get to see often.. then my favorite channel went off the air , i am so bummed.... but i did get to purchase 5 sterling silver diamond cut chains,a beautiful silver cross with London blue topaz and a silver dog tag with a tiny diamond in it for Dylan... last wendsday i had 12 injections in my shoulder blades and lower back man they still hurt lol. i have some other stuff to put on here but will do it separately cuz it is so cool it deserves it's own blog.. later...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

2009-02-23T08:53:00.000-08:00

Saturday the 21st, Dylan and i went to see chitty chitty bang bang at the majestic in San Antonio. The trip to San Antonio was not very fun.. we were griped at the whole time lol.. When we got there we went together and had so much fun.. Dylan sang along with most of the songs.. He loved the inside of the theater.. it was so great. We then left and got griped at some more on the way home. Oh well, we know better now and wont do that again..... But we will go to the majestic again..

My sisters made me do it.... story of my life lol.....

2009-02-19T07:03:00.000-08:00

I was sent a challenge by Shelli ! YAY, I said, no not really, I said Oh Crap! What do I have to do Now!! But it really wasn't too bad!! Thank Goodness!

The rules were really simple.

Go to your photo folder in your computer.
Go to the 6th folder of the photos.
Go to the sixth picture.
Put the picture on your blog and description of it.

This is a pic of Dylan trying really really hard to get Jayci to get off his pillow at aunt Shell's house last spring break. She just layed there and laughed at him... I was on the couch above them and could not resist taking this pic. i think she finally gave up the pillow and went to lay with her pappy

I know it has been a while....

2009-02-10T16:27:00.000-08:00

Hello people.... alot has happened since my last post lol.. Dylan went to monster jam with his dad and a friend of his along with her daughter..... Janet and I went to see Rodney Carrington the same evening... Janet and i spent the whole day together. I have not had that much fun in a long long time. We had third row seats, he was so funny... I have not had that much fun in a really long time... that was on the 10Th of January... Dylan is now ten years old. where did the time go... This past weekend Dylan got to go to the San Antonio rodeo with his dad and his friend and her daughter... he had a blast. he did the bungee cord ride I guess you could call it. They didn't stay for the concert by a band called push play.. Dylan didn't really like them... This weekend is valentines day and Janet and the girls might come, he is excited.. then next weekend on the 21st I will be taking him to see the touring Broadway show of chitty chitty bang bang. He is counting down the days. Then the following weekend I am going to the home and garden show with Mimi and Shelli and Scott... and maybe jayci aka chunky monkey... Today when Dylan went to school we noticed that Whittle was hurt. His back is tender and he whines when he gets up or down.. I am going to have the vet that comes to town come to the house and check on him.. Dylan is really upset about this.

Ok so that was a bit over dramatic lol. The game that the rattlers played on Saturday the 18Th we lost. The score was 4-2. We did really well though. The team we played the Aztecs were really good and really rough lol.. The girls came down for the weekend. The twins and Mimi went to the game with us. After the game we went to a garage sale then came home and chilled out. Sunday Dylans friend Abel and his mom invited us to go to the movies in uvalde. We went to see Beverly hills Chihuahua . It was funny. It was so nice to get out of the house and spend time with good friends. Dylan and i really enjoyed it. Today is Mimi's birthday. We got her some soft furry slippers and a cheesecake that she started to eat as soon as we gave it to her. Hoot got her the new Indiana Jones movie. guess that is all till after Saturday. we have soccer and then Halloween parade and then carnival. Janet and Sarah are coming , yahhhhh..

SOCCER SEASON

2008-09-12T08:36:00.000-07:00

Soccer season is upon us. Dylan started soccer practice this last Tuesday. He loves playing but has decided that he wants to play goalie. The coach wants him to play sweeper because he is so good. when he behaves lol.. He is so busy these days. He has soccer practice two times a week. Then he has Awana's one day a week. He loves school thank goodness , loves his new teacher. He made a 100 on his first spelling test last week. We are waiting for hurricane Ike to go away. Hoping Grace and Jayci and JR are going to be OK cuz it is going their way. Dylan also had a bike wreck this past weekend. He got pretty banged up his arm is scraped pretty bad and has bruises on his thighs and back. well that is about it for the past week. i will try to do this at least once a week or every other day.

Not too much going on

2008-07-10T09:02:00.000-07:00

Hello people... Sorry i have not been on much lately. I have been busy with Dylan,Harley and Dallas. Since i last posted we have had the rodeo here in Utopia. My nephew Zach and brother Hoot roped and both missed lol. Oh well. I had my step-daughter Margaret who likes to be called rosie for the week before rodeo. She and Dylan got along way better this time around. Then the fourth of july came, we went to the fireworks in town. They were awesome this year. They are always good but they seemed better this year, i guess cuz we sat closer lol. I now have Dylan and both of the twins for the month of july. We go on our daily walks to check the mail and they stay outside some but it gets hot earlier these days. So they play alot of the wii or watch tv. Guess that is all for now . cya later.

To Hot.....

2008-06-23T09:50:00.000-07:00

Ok people... It is just way to hot here. Since I was here last not much
has happened. Such is the life in a small town. It is so hot it has hit
over 100 a couple times since I last wrote here. Dylan, his dad and
sister Margaret are at Fiesta Texas today. at least they get some
comfort lol . Today is my brother Hoot's birthday.. Yes that is his
nickname. We had some rain on Friday but not enough to do anything
about the drought. My bedroom is now painted. It is a brown color but i
love it. I finished painting the cabinet in my bathroom which is also
brown but lighter. It makes me feel more at home here. I will post pics
later of my bedroom walls and the bathroom cabinet .

OH WHAT A WEEKEND

2008-06-17T14:03:00.000-07:00

Oh where to start lol. on last Thursday night the twins came to town. They spent the night with Dylan and I. Friday we pretty much just hung around the house. I didn't get to watch my Friday the 13th movies like i always do on Friday the 13th's. the kids were there so i couldn't watch lol. oh well i will get over it. Saturday Burt,Shelia,Wade and Cashton
came to town to go to Hoot and Amanda's wedding. The wedding was very
short and to the point. After the wedding we went to Reagan Wells to
uncle Gene's house. We had a nice dinner and Dylan and the girls played
in the new pool for hours. Dallas then beat everyone at bowling on theWii,by alot lol
Then we came home and the twins spent the night at my house again..
Sunday was fathers day. we made our calls to my dad and grandad. We
took Chad to kerrville to the movies and out to eat. We watched the movie Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian. It was ok but the first was better i thought.We at at the Asian Buffet we alwayseat at and it was good. On the way home we stopped at Taco Casa and I got a Chilada oh my goodness. it was awesome. Then we came home and Dylan spent the night at Chads house. I guess that about covers the weekend I hope to keep up with this better and more often. lots of love from the pickle patch.... Lauri and Dylan
