Firewood!!!











Well I have been looking on Craigs List to find free firewood. Most of it is gone or I don't get a response back. Well this post had been up for 3 days but kept getting relisted so I called. The guy said we could go anytime and we planned for Saturday am. The guy said alot of people were coming so we told him we would be there about 4:30am. After some thought and the terrible thought of not being able to SLEEP IN! I said hey lets go tonight so we finished dinner, late. Ok we were now ready to leave at 9pm. Desert Hot Springs was our destination 45 minutes away but he said he had alot and it was free. Of course I forgot to take my camera with us. he was right he had cut down 3 huge trees and it was in his backyard and the neighbors(who i think were gone..evicted). Mostly the pieces were huge and would of taken 2 guys to even lift. So we took all that was small and they are not really that small. But its a great start to our wood pile. We are also going to build a fire pit in the backyard for evenings outside in the winter. So I'm not really sure what kind of wood this is but the tree stump was huge! So very old tree. I am sure there were alot more small pieces the 1st few days of the post and I can bet he won't even get rid of it all today unless someone is there cutting it up smaller. I am happy though I figure this is probably a couple hundred dollars worth.

Party Sat Aug 22nd











The pool was a big success to the kids! You know those adults they feel they are to big to put bathing suits on. I don't care I love the pool!

Guest Bedroom

Yes the guest bed has gifts on it until I put them away. This of course can be cleared on a minutes notice for you house crashers. lol
This has a bit of a Angel theme to the room.

These are 3 birth announcements of my sister. Somehow I do not have the 4th sisters birth announcement. Unfortunately she died at a very early age so I'm not sure if things were put away as not to remind everyone of her. I think these look very cute on the wall. Maybe I can even add announcements of the children of my sisters. I will have to see if they still have copies of them.


Our 2 girls.




Love the Angels.



I have been picking up pictures to complete the room.





This is over the bed. When I was growing up and stayed at my Grandma Pauline's we had pictures like this and the Lord's Prayer, so I wanted something similar and look what I found! The Lord's Prayer and a girl and boy praying. I was to perfect.














Sat 9/5 Pool Day

What a life! I love my 2 days in Paradise. I work for the weekend and the chance to relax and enjoy.
Willits giving me kisses!

We coaxed them on the raft for a little float.


Sadie wants to be just far enough away that you can't reach her and put her into the water.








We spent the afternoon in the pool. I got burnt and Lloyd got a bit also but he also washed all 3 cars to start his day. Willits loves the water and now will go onto the first step all by himself and with help will go on the 2nd step and then walk around the spa usually to get to Lloyd.

Office or should I say Sports Room!

Well Lloyd loves anything ANGELS and all football. With Brett Favre being a #1 and Green Bay a team he loves also. Over the last couple of years I have found many things for birthdays and Christmas and now he has a place to display it! We also have 2 desks in here, his and hers. I spend more time at my desk but then again I spend more time on my computer than him.
This is the football side.

This is on the door coming into the office.


Wouldn't be complete without Nolan Ryan!



Angel Wall of fame. 77 is for Reggie Willits which is our favorite player. Even our dog is named after him. We just call him "Willits" for short.

Hallway Linen area

What to decorate the hallway linen area with?? Well our wedding bears made a great center piece and some lovely topiary trees and of course some candles.

Our Bathroom

Well we decided to go with a Maroon color for our bathroom. The accessories were a lovely house warming gift and they match perfect to our rugs. I haven't found maroon towels that i love yet but I'm sure I will soon! I'm looking for decorations for the walls also. Man do I need to go to some more garage sales!!!!!
