My Favorite Season...

This is my favorite season in California "The Flower Fields" season. There is 51 acres across a hillside off the freeway overlooking the oceans of rows of colorful flowers. ABSOLUTELY breathe taking!! You can pay and go in and get a tractor ride around the flowers.













It was really windy....I am blaming it on the wind, why my hair looks so CRAZY!!


This is what the flowers look like close up..they are called "Giant Tecolote Ranunculus"

Sunday Afternoon Picnic...

We went on a little picnic Sunday in between conference sessions...it was a beautiful, sunny day to enjoy!!





Boomer brought the music...his phone has it on it...we ate to Johnny Cash :)


This baby seal played by us the whole time we were eating it was fun to watch!!








Morgan had the giggles after a huge pelican flew off the pier and flew right by us and pooped in the ocean, it looked liked a machine gun hitting the water (you probably had to be there), then it gently went and sat back on the pier. It was just funny to watch Morgan, it must 8 year old humor.




Joslyn was happy, she stole Morgan's drink and was not about to give it back..funny girl!!

Bubbles, Bubbles

We just a new bubble machine, we go through one every summer, the girls love it!! And so, does Mom because she doesn't get light headed blowing all the bubbles till everyone is happy!!

YUMMY!!

The girls, Drew (Rylee's friend) and I walked down to Dairy Queen yesterday for some yummy ice cream. I love the way kids eat ice cream, they get it all over and enjoy ever last bite!! Joslyn had to stop because of a couple brain freezes, other then that she finished the last bite.....I paid for it later with the sugar running through her body!!


Our transportation....








She kept getting mad because her fingers where getting cold...




She is not going to stop till it is all gone....


Goofy Girl....




The kids were playing follow the leader....


Always time to stop and smell the flowers.....




These are my favorite flowers...so vibrant...

HAPPY SMURF DAY!!

How do I explain my picture....WELL, growing up I LOVED the Smurfs..I owned over 100 Smurfs..my family..well I should narrow it down to Fred, Mike and Michelle would tease me and try to steal my smurfs, hang my smurfs (MOM quit laughing)...so explain that story. I was in the shower, Mom was gone and my sweet brother and sister decided to make nooses for all my smurfs and hang them from my bedroom ceiling. So, as I return to my room I noticed my brothers and sister looking in my bedroom window..then I looked up and noticed my poor, innocent smurfs hanging from my ceiling, all of them. I burst in to tears and they all started laughing...BUT my Mom came home at the same time as they were standing outside of my window laughing, thinking they would get there punishment, my Mom looks in my window and bursts out laughing...after she re-gained control she made them set my smurfs free...so, where is this story going.....

I love smurfs and my family new it...when the mail came they would always tell me, "Ali, it's smurf day, if you go get the mail today there might be a smurf in the mail," I never did see a smurf in the mail, besides the ones my brothers would plant in the mail box. BUT, today I went to get my mail and guess what was there...A SMURF, after 33 years of waiting my SWEET sister sent me a smurf in the mail. AAAAHHHHH!! HAPPY SMURF DAY!! Thank you, Michelle!!
