easter

4-12-09
john (johnsworld08) myself his sister trisha and my daughter went to johns other sisters(bonnie) house in placerville for easter. we rented a car and stayed for the weekend. we had lots of fun. all the newphews and niece's were there even mr. easter bunny showed up. i had taken around 150 pics over the weekend and somehow accidently deleted ALL of them. :( i was soooo upset with myself. i beleive john at johnsworld08 mat have posted some. we grew up together, lived next door to each other, and our family members have married so we have remained very close. while at Bonnies we barbequed went for walks shopped john and i perticily liked this small consignment shop we stopped at. we could of stsyed there for hours.

catching up

(4-22-93)well hello again everyone I've got alt of catching up to do so bare with me.
yesterday was my daughter's 16Th birthday. the note i left on her card read"on this day in 1993 was very special to me too; god gave me you" i know that's so sweet.
I've always tried to make her birthdays special. i want her to know she matters.
last weekend Lillian my daughter, me, Phillip my son and her friend Hanna all went to Columbia state historic park. its up in the mountains near where we live. it was great there wasn't anything we didn't do. (I'm posting pic,s)there was a stage coach ride that included getting held up and robbed like back in the settlers day, we dressed up and took pictures like the woman of that era, wax dipping, lunch in the park, also theres a well known candy store there you can watch them make chocolate ANYTHING it is soooo good. we also walked the streets and seen how the old gold mining settlers lived (wow and we think we live in depressing times)climbed the rocks that were formed from miners blasting the walls of the earth to find gold. it was just a great day.my daughters birthdays normally last about a week cause shes so special, so on her actual birth-date 4-21- we had our annual cake bashing party. Lil and her friends and our neighbors get together and throw cake at each other along with ice cream and juice of course. thankfully the neighborhoods parents don't mind if their kids get a little chocolaty.lol. theirs a quote in a mothers journal that i have that reads;babies are such a nice way to start people. i couldn't agree more and how appropriate that page it fell on my daughters birthday
