The Pits

You will never guess what I saw today . We came down to my parent's late today and as soon as we drove up , there "he " was , the pit bull from last week !!! Yes , the guy next door went and got him back from animal control today . Oh, but it gets better ... He came over and told my Mom ( before we got in ) that I was lieing . That his dog never left the yard , could not jump the fence and would never come after anyone . She told him , oh yeah , he jumped on the fence and over in the yard and came after us . All he did was turn away and go home . Now the fight is on !!! I will be going to the police . They said they would call us and tell us if the dog was coming back . Guess what ? No phone calls ! I am HOT !!!! What is it going to take ? Someone getting killed . Like a little 3 year old did in Show Low , Where it is now a crime to own one of these monsters .
This story will be continued . I will keep you up dated .

History repeats itself

Yesterday our neighbor across the street's pitbull broke free from his chain . He was running the town all day . My husband called animal control when he got home . No answer . He called the police but they did not respond .
An hour later , some of the neighbor girls from down the street were walking their husky and guess what . The pit bull attacked the dog in front of our house . Another neighbor was walking by and grabbed the pitbull , pulled it of the husky for a moment . then the fight was on again ! I ran outside , screamed at my husband to get his gun and call 911 . Finally the guy got the dogs apart , the girls ran home with their dog . The pitbull broke free and started to jump our fence to come after me and my dog !I was fast enough to get us inside ! The pitbull then began to chase the kids outside ! They got in their house and the mom jumped in a neighbors truck ! Rob ran out with his gun , as did the guy that had broke up the fight . They chased the dog down the street and cornered him at the end of the block , where some people were petting him ! Rob informed them of the attack . They stepped away slowly . They found a rope and got it around the dog and waited for the police and animal control.
They finally showed up . Got the reports and gave the guns back . But the bad part .... a judge will decide if the dog will go down or back to the owners !

I HATE PITBULLS !

THIS WEEK-END , WAS A VERY CRAZY WEEK-END ! WE WENT DOWN TO MY PARENTS LIKE EVERY WEEK-END . I HAD TO GO TO THE DR. TO CHECK MY BLOOD PRESSURE . IT WAS FINE , BUT THE DR. TOLD ME I HAVE TO LOSE 40 POUNDS IN 6 MONTHS . I HAVE BEEN TRYING ! I HAVE LOST 7 INCHES BUT NO WEIGHT.
THEN THE RAIN CAME DOWN , LIKE FLORIDA RAIN . NOT NORMAL FOR ARIZONA. I THINK IT MADE EVERYONE GO NUTS ! NY PARENTS NEIGHBORS HAVE A PIT BULL . THEY LET HOME RUN ALL OVER AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT . I HAVE A WESTIE ( WEST HIGHLAND TERRIOR ) AND WE BRING HIM WITH US WHEN WE GO DOWN TO SAFFORD. HE IS A HAPPY GO LUCKY DOG , DOES NOT MAKE TROUBLE AT ALL. ANYWAY , SAT. NIGHT , MY DOG WAS SITTING UP ON THE FRONT POURCH , MINDING HIS ON BUSSINESS . I WAS PUTTING THE BOYS DOWN FOR BED , MY HUSBAND WAS AT PRAISE TEAM PRACTRICE FOR CHURCH . AS I WAS HEADING BACK INTO THE LIVINGROOM , I HEARD MY DOG CRYING . I LOOKED OUT AND HE WAS BEING CHASED AND ATTACKED BY THE PITBULL. I CALLED MCKENIZE IN . THANK GOD HE IS FAST ! HE SLIDE IN THE HOUSE AND I TOOK HIM OUT TO THE SHED ,AFTER CHECKING HIM . HE WAS FINE , JUST HAD A SCATCH ON HIS CHEST AND WAS LIMPING A LITTLE .
I CALLED THE POLICE . THEY WERE THERE IN 5 MIN. ! BUT AS I WAITED , THE PITBULL JUMPED UP ON MY MOM'S 5 FOOT ROCK FENCE AND COME INTO THE YARD AFTER ME AND MY MOM ! MY MOM SHOOK MY DAD'S CANE AT HIM AND HE LEFT . HE THEN JUMPED UP ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND BARKED AND GROWELED !
AFTER THE COP GOT THERE , HE TOOK MY REPORT , AND WENT NEXT DOOR . THE DOG CAME AFTER HIM!! HE COULD NOT GET THE PEOPLE TO COME OUT . 20 MINUTES LATER, ANIAML CONTROL CAME . THE DOG TOOK AFTER HIM !! THE PEOPLE FINALLY CAME OUT , TALKRD TO THE POLICE AND LET THE ANIAML CONTROL TAKE HIM AWAY . THE COP WAS VERY NICE AND TOLD ME , HE DID NOT WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT . HE WAS CONCERD FOR MY DAD ( HE IS IN A WHEEL CHAIR NOW ) AND FOR LUCAS .

WHY DO POEPLE HAVE THESE MONSTERS ANYWAY ? AND ON TOP OF HAVING THEM ... JUST LET THEM RUN WILD AND DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THEM ! THANK GOD HE IS GONE AND EVERYONE IS ALRIGHT !

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT

I was reading the news paper from my home town tonight and found the strangest , yet scary story . It seems that some teens went to Burger King and the girl working the window got very mad . She put sink sanitizer in their food ! She got arrested with a $30,000 bond . She should have gotten more then that ! The reason for her getting mad....... she had charged them for a drink they did not order and they asked for their money back . Makes you think twice about going to a restaurant ! I will be sure to be very nice. I don't even want to know what all they do to food ,when they get ticked off .maybe I'll just cook at home from now on .

AFTER THE RAIN

Sunday late afternoon , we were headed back up to our home , in Morenci . The ski was clearing from a rain shower that just taking place . As we turned to go into the Blackhills , There was a huge rainbow . The biggest and the brightest , I have ever seen ! It shown so bright that the desert hills looked white , like fresh snow had falling on them . The closer into the hills we got , the brighter the rainbow . We were going to drive through it ! I have never been that close to a rainbow before . It was like you could reach out and touch it ! As I looked up , there was another one above it . It looked like a rainbow tunnel . Two rainbows ( very bright , and rain clouds in between . It was awesome , and of course I had my camera packed away . :( I think this was God showing us that everything was going to be alright . He is taking care of us ! Many things have been coming up against us but now I know all will be fine . God sent a beautiful thing to show us . For the rainbow is a promise of God ( peace after the storm )

Too much TV

Lately i have been trying to make my three year old son , feel like he is my big helper.I thought this might help him stop having so many meltdowns from jealousy of his baby brother . When I do dishes , I set him up on the counter and let him help rinse . When I feed the baby , I let him help pick out what jar of baby food to give Jeremy . I let him help with the cooking . And when I do laundry , he loves to help put clothes in the washer and get them out of the dryer . Well, today , he ran and started getting out clothes from the dryer ,to put them on my bed . By the time I got into my room , he had put on his daddy's underwear over his shorts . I thought I was going to die laughing , especially when he told me , that he was Sponge Bob . Maybe , I let him watch a little too much TV .

kaboom part 2 ( the pictures)

KABOOM !

Well, it seems the 4th has came and went . It just seems like people don't get into it like they once did . Everything is opened for business , hoping to make big bucks with the 4th of July sales .
I can remember growing up , that the 4th was always a big celebration , right up there with Christmas . We would celebrate it with my Grandma when I was little . She was a very patriotic person . Everything would be done up in red , white and blue .
The best 4th was when I was 6 years old . Grandma and Grandpa came down from Pagosa Springs . We went down to the park that afternoon , to watch a reinactment of the civil war . I will never forget it ! It was awesome ! Next , she bought me ( still to this day,the best ice cream I have ever had . It was red ,white and blue with stars in it . Next , we where off to the fireworks !!!
Yesterday , I was longing for the good old 4th of July . Unfortunately , My husband had to work and it was to hot (108 degrees ) and gas too high , to drive down to my Mom's for the parade . So, me and the boys stayed in and played all day . Has the sun was setting , I began to get a little sad , no fire works seemed to be around . So, we sat down to watch some on TV . All of a sudden , I heard a loud BOOM ! My three year old got out of bed , ran to the front door . The baby woke from his sleep .My husband and I got up to see what was going on. It was a fire work show almost in our back yard !!! Phelps's Dodge was putting on on of the best I have ever seen ! We could have not gotten better seats anywhere else ! Here are some of the pictures from it . My $th of July had a great ending ! And the boys loved it too!
Well, for some reason Blogger is not loading my pictures right now. I will post them later .

Happy Fourth of July

Words of a Three Year Old

We have began to potty train our three year old son. ( I think it is easier to house break a dog ) To motivated him , I will give him an M&M if he goes . This seems to work sometimes . He still does not want to wear pull-ups . I think he is jealous of his little brother , so he wants to stay a baby.
Since , I have now introduced him to the world of chocolate , he will say " Ma Ma , chocolate will make it all better ", whenever he wants a treat. I think he has the right idea , chocolate seems to make it all better , when things get a little rough . :)

NO BUGS ON ME !

Monday was the day from hell!! Lucas had meltdown after meltdown . So, when his daddy came home from work , I sent him outside with his daddy . I thought I would let him run out his energy before bedtime .
The baby was not feeling well , he is cutting teeth , so he was not happy that day as well . I was getting him ready for bed while Lucas was out playing with the dog . My husband was out putting an exercise machine together in the garage . It was not long after letting Lucas out , I felt I needed to go out and check on him . He was talking to his dad and playing , so I came back inside . A few more minutes went by and I felt I needed to go back out there to see what the little guy was up too . Good thing I did !! He had the bug spray and was spraying on him . He saw me and yelled " Help me , Help me ! " It looked like he may have sprayed some in his face and maybe his mouth !!!! Not taking any chances , my husband called 911 while I ran inside , washed Lucas off and rinsed out his mouth . The operator looked up the brand of bug spray and found that it did not harm humans . Thank God !!!! I gave Lucas a good bath , brushed his teeth and put him to bed . My husband hid the bug spray in a better place . Hopefully Lucas will not find it again .
You can watch your kids very close , think they are OK and in a blink of an eye , they can get into trouble ! Wish we had more eyes to watch them . Thank God for that still small voice inside and that I listened to it !

MODERN FAMILY

I remember Sat. mornings when I was a kid . I would get up early so that I did not miss Scooby Doo or Bugs Bunny . Mom would always make Pancakes . Around 9:00 , we would clean the house and have lunch ready for my Dad by 1:oo ,on the Sat. he worked. On the ones he was off , we would get the car packed up and head off to my Grandparents house in Colorado . Those where fun times !
Now I get up to find a whole new world . The family is on the computer , texing someone , on the cell talking , listening to I pods or playing PlayStation . And most do not even know what Breakfast is . I try not to let my house be ran like this . But this is how most Americans are on week-ends now days . Gone are the family times , gone are them going to church together . Most can not even name the 10 commandments ( or even three of them ) But they can name all the beers out there . This is very sad . We need to get back to the basics of life !

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO OUR DADDY ! WE LOVE YOU !:) JEREMY AND LUCAS

HARDEST JOB YOU CAN EVER HAVE

I am so sick of people saying that I don't have a "real" job and in it is not fair to my husband , that I stay home , while he "works ". ( Mainly my in- laws ., they keep pushing for me to go back to work . ) Staying home raising my kids is a real job . And I would say the hardest one I have ever had . ( I have done lots of retail , cosmetology , Rx Tech , been a pre- school teacher , been a piano teacher and a babysitter ) So, yes , I have " worked ".
I love staying home with my boys . And if you don't think I work , well here are some of the hats I wear . I am a teacher, a cook , a nurse , a child care person , house cleaner , seamstress , a counselor , animal care taker ( we have a cat and a dog ) , gardener , handy man , wife , a mother , a lover , and a friend . I am up at 5:30 ever morning and go to bed around 10:oo . Non-stop from the time I get up until the time I go to bed . So, I say ..... stop saying it is not fair that I don't have to work !!!!

FLASH BACKS

For some reason , lately I have been thinking of the past a lot . Maybe it is the fact that it has been 19 years since graduation ; or summer just has that effect on me . Summers where the best !!! I think the summers of my high school years were by far the best times ever ! Sometimes i wish i could go back . Of coarse i would chance up a few things . Like what would have happened if that high school crush had worked out for the summer ? Would memories still been bittersweet ? Or what if i had met my husband back then ? Would we have gotten married at a younger age ?
The summer I had the best time , was my 16th year . Me and my best friend had so much fun !! chasing boys , late night talks , dreaming of Jon Bon Jovi , putting orange cones across her street , going to Connie mack . So, much fun !!!
Now I seat and listen to Bon Jovi's new song " Do You Want to make A memory " and Nickel back " Photograph " and think back to those good 'ol days .
I hope my boys have such good times and memories when they grow up . After all , life is about making memories !!

TOMBSTONE ,AZ.... YES, IT IS A REAL PLACE

TOMBSTONE , AZ IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO GO TO . IT IS FULL OF HISTORY . I KNOW SOME MSY THINK THAT THE O.K. CORRAL SHOOT OUT WAS JUST A STORY , BUT IT REALLY HAPPENED . WHYTE EARP AND DOC HOLIDAY WHERE REAL PEOPLE .

THE TOWN CLOSES DOWN EVERDAY AT 2:OO P.M. IN REMEMBERANCE OF THE SHOOTOUT . THEY ALSO HAVE A REINACTMENT OF IT ( WITH BLANKS OF COURSE , AND ACTORS ) :)

HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF TOMBSTONE . IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO GO , GO ! IT IS AWESOME !!! AND BE SURE TO TAKE THE STAGECAOCH RIDE . THEY TELL YOU THE HISTORY OF THE TOWN AS YOU RIDE THROUGH IT .

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

I have the ultimate fantasy !!!! Being able to go to the bathroom by myself ( my 3 year old always manages to come in ) and to take a bath without the help of my 3 year old ! That is my biggest and most desired dream at this moment and time . :)

A CHILL DOWN THE SPINE

One thing I love about living here , in Arizona , is all the history . There is so many cool things here . I love the fact , that the " real " cowboys and Indians where right here . Like Whyte Herp , Doc Holiday , Geronimo , and many others .

I live in the Black Hills , in a small miner town called Morenci . As you can guess , there are lots of ghost stories . The town down from me , is Clifton . It still looks like a ghost town today . Down in the cliffs is an old jail cell . This is where the outlaws were held . This was the first jail here in this little town . You can walk down to it and take pictures today .

My sister in-law came down here to visit us from PA . in March . So, I took here down to see this jail cell . This was also my first time to walk down into it . It was the creepiset place I have ever been into . I swear that there were ghost in it !!! It was cold and just gave you those chills like you get from watching a scary movie . Moths were everywhere !!!! And you could still see the skackels !

Here are some Pictures of my sister in -law in it .

LETTING THE SON SHINE

Growing up in the 80's , one of my fave. show to watch was " Growing Pains " . Yes , I was one of the many girls that had a crush on Kirk Cameron . It is so nice to see that he is now a Christian and not one of those childhood stars gone wild .

He is a great inspiration with the way he takes a stand for Christ . My husband and I love to watch his and Ray Comfort's show " The Way Of The Master " . It has helped us so much so that , my husband uses this in his everyday life . He also preaches it in his sermons .

If you have not seen any of these , check it out at www. wayofthemaster.com
You can also read about Kirk on yahoo news today . I promise you ..... it will challenge you and your life !
