Northern California

By FAR my favorite place in the entire universe!! Yes I haven't seen any of Europe but, nothing can compare to the feeling of being home!! My heart will always be here with this amazing place. Southern Cal does not compare!! Were hoping to be here in a year!! So we have work to do!!

Stallion Springs

There is this quant little town just pass Tehachapi! It's called Stallion Springs! There is no grocery store, no place to to eat out; just a gas station with a general store attached to it, a realators office, and church! It is so beautiful there you wouldn't believe it belongs in SoCal! We took a little drive up there with the kids, and went to a little park! It had only a couple of things to play on but the kids loved it! The Scenery was amazing!

The covering in the background has stairs that lead straight into the water!

It is impossible to get this girl to look at the camera!! She is still to cute though!!

The Horse was by far the favorite!! I love my little man!!I can always get a good one out of Forrest!! What a smile!!

Call back, and my crazy nerves!

So last Wed. April 21, I got a call back for a show called Losing it with Jillian! I actually origianly applied for this show back in Oct. Well the app. consisted of going to a website called casting duo! I spoke to a lovely lady and she gave me the time and date for my interview, and screen test! I asked too about my biggest loser app. and this interview also goes to that too! I got off the phone and like a 12 year old girl who found out that the boy she liked, liked her back;I jumped up and down and was giggeling! I've been trying soooo hard to keep my mnd off of it, not doing a very good job! Yesterday was a mess though I don't think my brain was working at all! I was so nervous! I know i need to be myself and that's what I need to keep in mind!! Today is not so bad! Thank goodness I have a ton of laundry to do and things around the house to keep me busy!! So tomorrow is my interview, and I will post all the details of what happend!!

Poppies

This time of year is so beautiful in the Antelope Valley! The fields are a blaze of mostly orange, but with some yellow and purple! I haven't seen the hills like this in years! It was amazing to see! I remember as a kid coming out here every year and just walking in the fields, and also getting in trouble cause I would pick them! So it was nice to share this tradition with my kids!

BASEBALL

Thanks Crissy for the photo! So I snagged this photo from my loving sister in law, I didn't have my camera for a while!(It was in vegas!) Forrest Jr. has been interested in baseball since the kid could walk! When he discovered that he could run, well you just couldn't stop him from wanting to know how to do the rest!! So this was his lucky year, he was finally of age to play in a league! We signed him up at El Dorado Little League, which is across the street from our house! We thought that he would be able to play coaches pitch, which means exactly what it says! But because he hadn't played before he had to start with tee-ball! He is on the team Jethawks (named after a local minor league team here in Lancaster)! He was very excited to start playing! He has had about 5 or so games thus far! Nobody wins or looses, but of course in our books Forrest always wins! He is a natural! We love our little Jethawk!

Biggest Loser!

So recently I decided to apply for the Biggest Loser. It was a little nerv-raking! An 8 page application and a 5 to 15 video! I did this all in a matter of two days. The application was very personal, asking things like what is food to you, what it would be like for you to be thin, things like that! I feel like I answered every question honestly and from my heart! The video was definitetly interesting! I actually had to pull up my shirt so that they could see exactly what the show is about! I had to go to my favorite place to eat, which was the easiest part! But when we went I never realized how many sticking calories I was eating in one setting! Forrest Jr had a little part on the video, because this was his idea!! He so lovingly informed me that I was 7 trillion pounds and that I needed to go on biggest loser!! I mailed in my stuff a week ago, and am still waiting to hear back! I am very happy about my decision to apply! I really hope I get picked, but have decided that I need a back up plan if I don't! So plan B will be in full effect starting next week! I turn 30 next year and have made it my goal to be at my goal weight by then! I have a little over a hundred pounds to loose, and am really hoping to accomplish my goal!!

Vegas and the Hoover Dam

We have been lucky enough to visit my Uncle, Aunt, and Cousins in Vegas,well henderson to be exact! So we've been there twice this year already, one time was just a visit the next time was for my beautiful cousin Megan's wedding!! So our first time ever visiting my extended family was over Valentines Day weekend! It was a blast! I personally have never been to the Hoover Dam and so we decided to go! I have recently discovered my distaste for heights, however I try to overcome them so that the children don't become nervous or scared! While walking towards it my legs start to turn to jello and I became overwhelmed. I completly started to freak out (still of course attempting to remain calm how those two work I have no clue!) and began to cry. The images of my children falling over the side was just to much to take! It didn't help though that the whole way over Big Forrest kept cracking jokes about pulling a Micheal jackson, I assume you all know to which situation i'm reffering! So I bravely held the boys up just so they could see for themselves how truely amazing what the men of that time were able to accomplish!!

They boys seemed to have enjoyed themselves, although Forrest Jr. commented on how high it was! I think he just liked it too because this is where the Transformers came!! So our second trip was for my cousins wedding! Forrest and I made this trip alone. Which we actually get to do at least once a year thanks to Grandma!! This time our dear friend Megan watched the kiddies for us! Bless technology we sent pictures back and forth, which made the trip not as hard! We had a blast met some amazing new friends, and took in a session at the Las Vegas Temple which was amazing!


On March 27,2010 my Beautiful cousin married Salvador Medina! I am so proud of her, she is such an amazing person! Salvador is very lucky to have her in his life! The reception was beautiful! I was so sad to leave my family, but so much more excited to come back to the kids!! As much as I love spending time with my hubby alone, it's so hard being away from my babies!!
