vacation day 1

We had a nice drive to S.D. we stayed at my moms the night before so it only took us 6 hours instead of 8 and a half. This is what we saw on the drive there.



And this Yes lots of corvettes as there is a corvette rally in Spearfish every year.




WE checked into the hotel at about 2:00 which was nice considering that check in isn't till 4:00. We than took the kids to the fish hatchery and the park we had a great time. By the way if you ever feed the fish expect your hands to smell like fish food for a couple hour after words( yes smart arses I washed my hands!)They have massive fish there and I thank god that my husband doesn't fish! The kids loved playing in the creek. I tried to keep the monster dry but he loves the water and as such this is nearly impossible! He was completely wet from head to toe!


I realize now that I took alot of things for granted when I moved like how beautiful it is there. For example because people here don't swim in lakes or play in the creek (the creek runs though the park in the town where I grew up). Some of them play in the lake HOWEVER THESE PEOPLE OWN A HOUSE ON THE LAKE. Which I will never own unless I win the lottery or think of a better get rich quick scheme. Here is a picture of the creek.



After the creek we went to my grandmas and grandpas (we'll call them G&G from now on)
my aunt was there and took the kids for a walk in the north forty ( an expression that means way the hell out in the middle of now where. D-baby has a sickness like her mom in that she LOVES rocks and the monster is just plain crazy. My aunt comes back into the house laughing and catching her breath! "The monster took off running and hes not easy to catch!" (they all think I'm feeding them a line when I tell them he's a quick little thing with a bit of orneryness in him!)"And D_baby is trying to bring the mountain side of rocks back with her. LOL" She wasn't lieing they had to make two trips to get all the rocks back to G&G's house. WE took home a five gallon bucket of rock plus prob another 5 gallon bucket that wasn't in the actual bucket.
Needless to say D-Baby and I are in rock heaven! I'm pretty sure my aunt is the one who started it all.

WE then went back to the hotel. Will post day 2 later!

I know shame on me!

I have been bad and not blogged for about 2 weeks.Not good! I've just been busy with summer, getting ready to go home, looking for a house and trying to get D_baby off to Washington.


Important things first I want to wish Holly a Happy Birthday! Love ya! hope it was and still is a great Day.






The 4th of July went well. We went to a co workers early in the afternoon (the kids and I, Honey had to work) had a nice time the kids played in the pool and gawked about the trains. Seriously his train layout is amazing hence the nick name Crazy train from a previous post Well that and cuz hes crazy. Then we went home and had a nice evening there a few friends stopped by but no killer bash like past years. I kinda missed the craziness. We lit off fireworks in the street (this is nuts to me I grew up in the black hills of SD and this was unheard of) We live close to a base and they have a nice fireworks display we can see from the yard!


I've been actively searching for a house to live in I feel like the trailer is closing in around me. Here are the ones I really like #1I like this one because it's a good size in a neighbor hood I really like and it's new so I 'don't have to worry about getting a home inspection or anything to deal with past owners
#2 I like this one cus it seems cozy there is ALOT of storage space it has little nicks and cracks all over the place. And the kitchen is newly redone. #3 I kinda like this one but not as much as the first two. It's yellow that's a bonus. #4 this is the design I want. I like that it has stainless steal appliances and hard surface counter tops( I don't do well with white anything. this is what the floorplan looks like. I Then think about more than one level and about die trying to make my decision. I like the idea of everything being on one floor and not having to run up and down stairs (yeah I'm lazy so hate me for it!) I looked at 6 houses already and they were mostly 2 level with one trilevel in there. I looked at # 2 and really like it quite a bit(the only ranch I looked at so far) Some ok well most of the rest of the house is outdated well at least cosmetically and I don't want to do that. Oh shit I can't decide! I'm just going to live in the trailer forever and have the walls close in on me as shit piles up cuz I have no where to go with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then of course there is the WONDERFUL honey the butt head I can't get him to look at any of the houses with me but trace and uncle D went with me to a couple of them)! He does tell me he wants to move but doesn't even want to get the preapproval yet( yes I know Holly this is essential) and will be done when we come back from SD Even if I have to drag him by his ears while hes kicking and screaming! To be honest I think he's just a little scared. Which he should be its a big decision!

My darling daughter is going to Washington in early august and has a list of things to get done. Bless her heart she is just like her mother which means only about half of them are accomplished. I did manage to get her a airplane ticket today!


My high School reunion is this weekend I'm looking forward to it we're going to have a great time!I am however a little nervous. Which is OK. I'll get to see some of my friends people I haven't seen in about 10 years. There are a few I will miss *UH HUM*. I have so many people to see and so little time it almost breaks my heart!
Ok thats about now all for now!

Have a Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day! Hope your all enjoying fireworks ,a good grill somewhere friends ,family oh and a good drink!!

Beeper

Its a good thing I got my cell phone fixed cuz the day after The Monster stuck my beeper in the toilet and then flushed the only consulation was that it was a clean bowl. I can't even put make up on and not watch that kid for five seconds! Honey says hes running a tab on the kid for lost electonics.
