Fall colors ( will a girl ever learn)

Fal began last Sat . so I thoguht I would make my hair a darker blonde . Went to good old Wlmart and bought a carmal blonde . Looked like a nice color . Got to my Mom's and put it on , waited the 25 minutes , then rinsed it out . Oh , my Goodness !! It had turned GREY !!! Now normally a carmel color has a red undertone , not this one ! It had ash ( green ) ! Well , Rob likes red so I thought lets try red . Off to the store again . Bought red and went home . Put it on , waited and rinsed . What the heck!!!! It was now burgandy ! Rob said don't worry , we will get it fixed .
He called my friend , Lee , who is a hairdresser and also on his praise team at church. She said she would fix it . So , off to her house we went . Now mind you , they where to have band practice in two hours from the time we got there .
We began the process . She weaved in blondes with foil . Time got away from us and yes , she missed practice . However , being the bosses wife , it was all good !:) We then put a brown on the hair left out of the foil . Waited and the rinsed and cut . It turned out so cute and I love the color ! All of this and she did not want any money . Thank God for friends ! ( Yes , I paid her anyway )
now the funny thing is .....I am also a hairdresser , so you would think I would stop playing with my poor hair . Someday it may fall out and call me dirty names !LOL

Jeremy's 1 st B- day

In Loving MemoryOf Natasha

Aug 2002 - Sept 4 ,2007 We miss you Girl

Natasha

This is in loving memory of my dear Siamese , Natasha . Yesterday , I had to have her put to sleep . She had Feline Leukemia . She was 5 years old . This is a hard thing to see a cat go through . She stopped eating , and had a hard time going to the potty , and got where she could not walk .
Natasha was a wonderful cat and I am so glad she was a part of our family . We got her when she was little thing , fit in the palm of our hands . She would meet me at the door everyday , ready for milk and petting . She had been a part of Rob and I from the beginning of our relationship .
After I had Lucas , she would help watch out for him . The same for Jeremy , when he came along .She loved those boys ! Even though she was so sick , she continued to watch out for them . Sleeping under their beds .
She was also a great hunter . She had no claws but still could kill the scorpions and all the other bugs that came along .
I think she knew she was getting very sick . Two months ago , she would wake me up ever night , hitting me in the head and then having me get up with her . She would eat and then come back to bed , snuggling up to me as close as she could get .
She also loved to play catch . And we had her toilet trained !
I am going to miss Tasha ! She was a very special cat .

Hello , out there !

Hey , where are all my blogger friends ? No one has blogged in a while or added any comments . Where are you ? I miss reading your blogs ! :(

Pulling out my hair

The last couple of days have been something else ! Rob had to work this week-end so me and the boys went to my Mom's . The ride went ok until half way and then the boys started to fight . Yes , already at this age !
After we got there , I had Lucas go outside to play for awhile. He loves to play outside his nana's. Later I and mom went out to see what he was doing . We found him talking to the boys next door . ( These are the neighbors that had the Pit bull , They have got rid of him ) The two next door kids were saying that they wanted to fight Lucas and my dog ! I told them we do not fight ! Then , I took Lucas in . Being 3 , he did not know what the boys were saying . I wish this people would move away !
The rest of the week-end went ok . I drove home yesterday only to find , my kitchen was full of ants! I put the baby in his crib , had Lucas go play outside with the dog , and stated to kill ants and clean them up . Fun, Fun . Fun !
I thought I had got reed of them .Was I wrong ! I opened the frig only to find ants inside ! What the ........! I did not think they would go in there ! So, I called Rob . He went and got me some traps , vinegar and killer . I once again cleaned and killed ants.So, far , so good !
I hope this day gets better . It is only 11:00 . I still have a whole day to go .

Count Down

Lucas , my 3 year old , is soo excited today . Why ? Because High School Musical 2 will be on tonight .He loves the first movie . Funny , he sings with it and does the dances . The kid is just like me , he loves music ! He heard the commercial for the movie and came running all the way across the house to the living room . This will be a fun night . I hope the second one is as good as the first .

First haircut

I finally gave in and cut Jeremy's hair . I had a hard time making myself do it . Because he has pretty curly , blond hair . But we did it ! He did not even cry !

SWEET WORDS

THIS WEEK-END , I WAS NOT FEELING TOO WELL . I HAD A HEADACHE FROM HELL ! HOWEVER, I RECEIVED THE BEST MEDICINE YOU COULD ASK FOR . LUCAS, MY 3 YEAR OLD , CAME RUNNING UP TO ME AND CALLED ME , PRINCESS MOMMY . I ASKED HIM WHAT MADE HIM CALL ME THAT , AND HE SHOWED ME MY WEDDING PICTURE . HE SAID HE HAD A PRINCESS MOMMY . THAT MADE MY WHOLE LIFE ! MY HEAD STARTED TP FEEL ALOT BETTER AFTER THAT !

All Dogged Out

Right after I wrote my last post , Rob and I got out and cleaned up my parents yard . I went in to shower and after I got out and redressed , I saw rob outside taking pictures . I asked my Dad what he was doing . He informed me that the dog next door had gotten out again and was coming after my dog again ! Rob was taking Pictures of the dog to show that he was out . He also took a video of him running around and the other neighbor putting him back in his yard . We called animal control and it took them 30 minutes to get there .
After they got there , Rob talked to them and they called the police. The animal control guy said he and the cop from the first night , were both afraid of the dog too . They could not keep him because the did not have enough evidence against him . Meaning he did not hurt anyone , so they had to give him back. He also told Rob that the owner was 18 , did not live next door , but his girlfriend's Mom did and she was taking care of the dog . he also told the animal control guy that he was a lier , the cop was a leir and I and my Mom were liers . By the way the dog does not have rabbie shots and they still gave him back with the guy promising to get them .
The police took the report and told Rob to bring the pictures and video to the station . Now we have to wait for a court hearing . The dog is chained up next door . However, I have seen a Pitbull( the one here in Morenci ) break a big chain before . Wish us luck !

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 . :)
