HOLLYWOOD!!!

In April we attempted to hike to the Hollywood sign. I say attempted because we figure we made it about 1/2 mile up and then turned around. If you have ever hiked to the sign you know that there are a lot of dogs on the hike, and even thought they are supposed to be on leashes very few are, and all though the owners are supposed to clean up after them very few do. So after 1/2 mile of the girls getting nervous every time a dog came by and dealing with all the fly's we were done. The girls were sports and didn't complain about going on our little adventure. We didn't reach the top but the girls did climb some tree's (Hayley really wasn't held against her will, it just looks like it.)We were almost to the car when Aubree fell and scrapped both of her knee's , luckily we had a first aide kit with big enough band-aids to please her.
I think we will try it again in the fall, there should less fly's then right???

Long time gone....

Its been so long since I actually updated my blog that I feel so behind that I don't know where to start. I am going to try and get caught up by the time Eli's next business trip is over. Here's to fingers crossed.

Sometimes I find our blog to be such a guilty pleasure and other times I just feel guilt. Its been months and I don't have a great excuse all I can do is try try again. So tomorrow will be the start of something new.

Computer update

So our friend was successful and was able to get all my pictures off the laptop. So now they are all together at last. The only down fall is they are all together on our external hard drive so once I can figure out how to upload them or get Eli to do it I promise I will catch completely up. I hate the guilt that come from being so far behind, so hopefully I can catch up and stay caught up.

Computer Drama!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I know I have been MIA for awhile. So here is the story: about a month ago my new acer laptop screen just went black. For no reason whatsoever, luckily it was still under warranty so off to TX to be fixed it went. Our desktop has been having issues for close to a year now. FRUSTRATING. It was too big and too expensive to be a paper weight, so while I was undergoing a project undertaking of getting all of our music onto I tunes it decided to crash big time. So Memorial day was spent at Best Buy buying everything we needed so Eli could fix it. Which he did, LOVE IT. Then on Wednesday my cute little lap top showed up. Yeah!!!! Oh wait I think there are pixels that are dead. Shoot, now we have to send it back to TX at least I kept all the packaging so I won't have to pay for that again. Then to add insult to injury I found out that my old laptop, that I first got when we moved to Cali to be able to email family, is dead. We have a friend that has to take the hard drive out of it so we can get all the info onto a junk drive. Once you take out the hard drive the laptop is done. So I am still trying to get all my pictures collected to catch up on my blog. Sometimes computers can be so frustrating.

New Toy

Well after we had a couple of weeks or rain about a month ago we decided that we would like to BBQ for dinner. Well I guess that during the rain storms we had a little friend live inside out BBQ and leave us a few little "treats". GROSS!! So we had to get a new one, I could stand the thought of cooking on it. So here it is:
Its sooo nice. We love it. I know what your thinking: That's a pretty big bbq what did you do with the box? Well...
Hayley didn't really like getting into it dark so we had to put the light in it. Aubree loved it that she asked to have quiet time in it.
Now for the second question: what did you do with the other bbq. Well we cleaned all the goodies out of it (they weren't on anything the food touches, just a few on the very bottom of grill, still couldn't do it) and then we placed it out on the side walk with a FREE sign. Let me tell you it didn't even sit out there an hour, before someone took it.
To break it in we had a few friends over and cooked some hamburgers and hot dogs. Let me tell you mmm mmm good:)

waiting for sleeping beauty

Aubree usually doesn't take a nap, but when she does she's out. One day she fell asleep while watching a movie. Hayley woke up before Aubs did and so we did our favorite thing get the mail. As soon as we got back inside Hayley took a kids toys catalogue and went up stairs. Its not unusual for her to go up to get her Coco and Snugi (comfort items), when she didn't come back down stairs I went up to check on her and this is what I found:She climbed up next to Aubree and was flipping through it. When I asked her what she was doing she said "me, Aubree". I know that I say this all the time, but I love that they love each other.
