And Yet, We need to Water Our Lawn This Morning



We were surrounded last night Dark Clouds got darker; Lightening was striking and Thunder was constant. The Wind was blowing and we had a tree blow over. The Pool had waves. 
I came in, Shut down the computer (just in case) and prepared for wild rainstorms. Avondale got a lot of rain; Good year (right next door to Buckeye) got rain. Phoenix had flooding.
More Wind, Blowing Dust and more lightening, more thunder.. and NO RAIN. Just a big mess.
AND we had to water our dying lawn.... Yet Again

Dog Days of Summer



Sabby loves Lucy the Wonder Pug. Last weekend we had visitors the two legged and four legged types. Both these guys are cute.. I think anyway. 
Have a terrific weekend and thanks for taking the time to read my blog today.

Home again, Again

A Great couple of days! Monday Madi & I took Sabby to school before we went to the doctor and took off for CA. I like this picture; because Madi is comforting Sabby who decided, after all, that first grade may not be all that Great.
We made it to Southern CA, Conner, Madi & I.... :) Conner and Madi slept a good part of the way. We went straight to Lyndsey's where Makayla and Izabella waited to play with their cousins. Conner and Izzy, play non stop. I really think they'll party together as adults! Hope so.

Tuesday, Izzy got stuck in a box and called for Gwan to HELP HER.. Yeah Yeah I should have helped her and NOT run for the camera.
Later, we went to Rob and Carla's where Izabella, Conner & Makayla & Madi played some more.. Seeing those two in that fire truck was so awesome! It's got a motor so they drive around the yard side by side.. Izzy ran the thing into the wall a little later. 
What's even better????? Rob got Carla the camera!!!! I knew it was in the works but couldn't write about it since Carla reads my blog. We hoped it'd be HERE in AZ for the weekend but instead it was delivered Monday. I LOVE these memories. Carla was VERY happy. It was so exciting.. The Nikon D80



For ALL the deets, you can read Carla's blog.. (God's blessings my page has a link)

I'm really so proud of the person Rob is. He's a lucky guy; and so is his family.
This morning, I planned on going  along with Makayla and company to her first day of second grade. Well, due to some re-structuring in the district, Makayla will go to a new school... But NOT today since Mommy and Daddy had to go re-register her.. So, we walked down the hill and Gran took some pictures of Makayla and her Mommy, Daddy & Sisters. 
Long drive home.. I'm off to my nap!

Great Weekend


 Great Weekend here in Buckeye. Madi and Conner stayed with us and I'll take them home tomorrow. Makayla starts school on Wednesday so Paul and I were going down anyway.
So far so good.. We had one moment earlier with Conner pleading with me to call Mommy & Daddy then refusing to talk to them... Now he's fine and while Aunt Katie is giving him his bath, I've snuck away to post my blog.
We didn't do much this weekend; just a relaxing day by the pool yesterday. Uncle Rob and Aunt Kathie came too. It reminded me of all our Saturdays in Murrieta. 
I'll be gone a few days.
Hope you all had a great weekend and that you have a good day today.

P.S. I'm pretty sure the GIRLS won the Volley Ball Game
