Tori is a Ballerina!

Tori's last birthday present from us, a ballerina outfit, she looks like a doll!!!

Tori's Princess Birthday!

Tori got to go to the Salon and get a manicure and pedicure and got her hairstyled and makeup done. She looked so beautiful! Her daddy bought her some new clothes and a tiara at the jewelry shop. She felt like a pampered princess! She's so fun!

I was getting my toes done at the same time and I asked what color she chose for her nails... she chose BLUE! Can you believe they didn't ask me if that was alright? I couldn't believe that I paid them to paint my daughter's nails BLUE! So crazy. She liked them though, so I guess that is what matters?

Tigger is getting so big! I thought I'd add a few pics on my blog to show off how beautiful she is :) She is so much fun, one of the best gifts I've ever had!

The Storm Hurt My Feelings

So cute, we had the biggest thunderstorms the other day, they were seriously on top of our house! It was incredible! Abbie was asleep and woke up from the Thunder. She started crying and when Tori asked her what was wrong, she said, "The Storm Hurt My Feelings!" She's such a doll!!!

Home Sweet Home, Phew!

Our new home in Saratoga Springs.
Holy cow, this has been a crazy week!
I'll try to name a few things that happened.
First of all, we lost our keys to the Honda, could not find them for the life, and that was right before we were moving. I had them last as far as Brad and I remembered, so I was a wreck because I knew I put them where they went and they weren't there. We found them five days later in a compartment in the Denali, Brad had put them there on accident. Yeah, it was him. At least it wasn't me, Phew!

Then I did my whole self tanner thing and took my ring off. You know where that is going. Abbie came to play while I was on the computer, and she decided it was a very pretty ring, and deserved to be worn... and then carelessly thrown wherever she decides. To my dismay, I went back to put it on and it was gone. When I asked her if she had it she said, "yes, it was me." When asked where it was she said, "I don't know." Like it wasn't a big deal. I was a little frustrated to say the least. Luckily I found it later on that day under a chair with the rest of her clothes in the living room, PHEW!!!

Then on our way here there was a huge rain storm and we had to stop. Well, we stopped in Beaver only to find out we had a flat tire and two bald tires, that set us back a good amount, so fun. We were grateful we didn't wreck or get stuck on the freeway though, Phew!

Then when we got here in Saratoga, the water wasn't on, luckily I am married to a handyman. He turned it on. But then there wasn't any warm water. We went three days without any warm water. Yuk, we were stinky! Then Brad figured out that our gas wasn't on, so we finally got some warm water, phew!

Oh, and then we ran out of gas in over 100 degree weather. That was a blast, what was even funner was our fuel pump going out. That set us back $850! Are you kidding me? No Phew there, nope, that sucked.

But you know what? After all these crazy events all in one week, I'm SO grateful to be here. I live next to a police officer lady, in a beautiful neighborhood, with lots of REALLY nice people, and I'm grateful we are all alive and well. The Lord is certainly watching over us!

Drugs, Homicide, Domestic Violence

So seriously, I am living in a TRAILER (have been for about a month) and I just found out today that there was just a drug deal two trailers down like 30 minutes ago. Woo hoo! I just found out a lady got shot in the head from a stray bullet from a drug deal gone bad in our neighborhood last year! This last Monday a lady was screaming for help in a Domestic Violence, nobody came to her aid (we didn't hear her, it was the middle of the night), I haven't heard of anyone seeing her since, who knows where or how she is. Just so you know, we are outta here ASAP!!!! PRAY FOR US!!!

How to Create... and Prevent... RAIN!

So Brad taught me something today that I had to blog about. How to CREATE and PREVENT RAIN!!!! This is very exciting, we proved it today AFTER he taught me! We were driving down the freeway, and he said, "You know, I have discovered how to create and prevent RAIN!" I said, "REALLY? How?" He said, "in order to prevent rain, all you have to do is put RainEx on your windshield and buy new windshield wipers." Now this is completely true, as we bought them a week ago and have just been WAITING to try them out! And I said, "How do you create it?" He said, "Get a carwash!" So... we got a carwash today since our car was REALLY dirty, and low and behold, no joke, in about 30 minutes, RANDOM rain cloud doused us with water! But at least our RainEx works!!!! You should try it out!
