girls carving pumpkins

We went to Jerry & Stephanies this last Saturday. The girls (Allie, Dee & Sam)carved pumpkins. They are so cute when they spend time together. It has been a few months, but they acted like it had only been days.

Of course Jerry & Eddie had fun too

Take cover! The Dolbee twins are hitting the blacktop on 4 wheels!

BTW - this is Aunt Stephanies convertable. The girls purchased their own car. 1991 Ruick Regal.

My Family

I just wanted to tell my family and friends that I love you all. I miss those of you who are near and far, and hope to see everyone next year at least once.

I feel far away sometimes, and just being able to text, bog, facebook, and myspace helps me feel connected. I know we all get busy and forget to update our internet lives, I know I do.

New Dollar Coin

This article is confirmed by Snopes. Americans are all stressed about the newer dollar coins being distributed. They do say "in God we trust" on the edge of the coin, where other coins have the ridged edges.
This just goes to show you how lazy Americans are becoming, they are not looking at the full picture, just the spam they get. It is sad and discerning to see the ignorance in our citizens. When you look at new money, you should really look at it. The entire picture should answer all your questions!

Welcome to Las Vegas Sign

"Welcome to Las Vegas" sign to receive parking lot

49 years and millions of pictures later, the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign is finally getting the attention it deserves.
Groundbreaking is set for Wednesday on a new parking lot at the sign. No longer will we all have to stop traffic and jump the curb to park in gravel in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard for pictures.
County officials will gather to kick-off construction of the parking lot, which will have 12 actual parking spaces and room for two busses.
The parking lot should be finished in November.

So next time you come to visit.....we can legally park by the sign and take pictures with the other tourists!

WOW Seniors

I just can't believe my little baby girls are going to be seniors. It seems like last year they were learning to ride a bike, now they are embarking their Senior year of High School!


Amazing thing, they graduate in May 2009 . And my 20 year High School Reunion is in October 2009







Trust me in that writing this blog I will cry. So it is ok if you do also!
This is a trip in the past, and a trip in my life. There are so many stories I could share but I want to chronicle the life of my seniors, not my senior year.


I remember when they started kindergarten at Tarpey Elementry September 1995, they were so cute with their pigtail braids. I was prepared to hang out around school in case they needed me. I walked them to school, went to class to meet their teacher. Then they went immediately to the playground! I was trying not to cry while I took pictures. (will have to find in storage). Then they told me “ok mommy, you can go home now!” I cried!





Then September 2003 came Jr. High school at my rival Clark Intermediate. Big time, lockers, 4 classes a day, lunch time without a playground. The cool hang out place after school was across the street at the Public Library compound. And Boys.


Then that summer, August 2004 we packed up the U-haul and moved to fabulous Las Vegas Nevada.

Welcome the school year to a new Jr High school In Las Vegas at Silvestri Junior High School, August 2004


Then August 2005, the started High School at Liberty. Lots of changes, dress code, uniform standards. They have adapted over 3 years. Now here we are, 12 years later. They are Seniors at Liberty High School, Las Vegas Nevada. Class of 2009.


And they work together at Outlaws Backyard BBQ & Chili.



They are active and headed toward the Army Reserve as a carrer and college path in their lives. They have been talking about the "buddy system" the military has. You go through boot camp with your buddy.




Here's to our little girls, who are all grown up now.
