YEAH!! Grandma and Grandpa came to town!! We just had such a great visit with Grandma and Grandpa Medsker!! My Mom came at one of my busiest weeks, which was such a huge blessing to have her help!! We had so many fun days at Sea World, Bates Nut Farm and of course shopping and walking on the beach!!!

'Tis The Season....Fire Season That Is....

We have started the fire season down here..we had a brush fire a few days ago at a target practice area at Camp Pendleton..it was pretty close to civilian housing, it was just over the ridge from our friends house. Luckily it was contained pretty fast and didn't hurt any properties. NOW at 3:00 today another fire broke out over on the base again and this time we have the Santa Anna winds (hot winds from the desert) which blows the fires out of control and they are hard to contain. This time 500 + houses got evacuated on base and a ton off base also, they have set up evacuation areas at the high school and now it is a waiting game. It is horrible!! The one thing a fire brings are amazing sunsets..the nasty clouds are actually smoke from the fire coming to the coast. They are sending planes which will come over our house and swoop down by the pier and get water and head back to the fire...it is amazing to watch!! So, now we are back to having ash raining on us and the great scent of fires rushing through the house!!!


Sunset..look at the ship in the lower right side....





the smoke....NOT clouds




the planes coming in....







going back to the fires.....

Joslyn, Joslyn, Joslyn!!!

This little girl of mine is getting the FUNNIEST little personality!! The girls were in my room just busting up. When I went in Morgan was telling Joslyn to show her, her belly and Joslyn would strike this pose..HYSTERICAL!!! We were having her do it all night..I got it on video ( I can't get the video to post, I will have to work on it later)...but Joslyn is to funny in it...she has a herniated belly button..so it sticks out further than her belly, which makes it that much funnier!!!!!


"SHOW ME YOUR BELLY"

Morgan was watching Joslyn for a little bit yesterday and I found this on the camera..I thought she did a good job!! I have another DORA freak on my hands. Good thing we already have all the DORA toys possible from Rylee's stage of DORA!!!

An Apple Treat!!

I went to Rylee's school and help them make these cute peanut butter apples I found online. There are doing an apple unit in school. I got everything ready and set up in her classroom while the kids were at lunch!! They were all sooo excited to make the apples.
You take melon baler and cut out little apples out a normal size Granny Smith apple..then stick a lollipop stick in it..it makes these cute little bite size apples on a stick. Then you melt peanut butter chips. Then the kids get to roll there apples in the peanut butter then in sprinkles and coconut..if wanted. They were really YUMMY!!!

My Goofiest Daughter!!

Getting ready in the morning is pure chaos at my house..from the time I wake up it is full throttle for two hours till I get everyone to school. We have already eaten breakfast and the dishes usually don't get done till I drop Morgan off at the bus stop. During this chaos this is a everyday occurrence at my house, Joslyn is found sitting on the table cleaning off the rest of her sisters breakfast....



This is is Joslyn sticking her tongue out and eating the cheerios off the table..why use your fingers????




Don't ask...crazy girl


Now another morning her licking the whip cream off of Rylee's plate....




BUT, she is always willing to help clean up her mess...give her a wipe and she is the best little cleaner...


The table is all clean..now we just need to do something with that hair :)

My Dancing Girl....

Morgan's New Adventure!!!

Morgan has decided to learn how to play the violin in music class for school!! So, we rented her a violin, she is set!! She has been doing a concert for Rylee and Joslyn all night..I guess that is what you call it...eeekkkk!!! The girls are supportive, Joslyn is doing her barn yard dances to it, then clpas when she finishes. :) I can't wait till she starts the lessons :)






Rylee needing to be apart of the excitement!!
