October 2016 in Review Scorpio Season

Im SO excited :) its my birthday month :) We haven't decided on doing much for my birthday...I kind of just want to sit back and relax and soak my life in :) I am SO grateful for  Gods blessing :) SO I find myself praying him awhole lot which is a good thing :) My emotions this month have been all over the place for no reason :S 

This month has not been busy at all which I am SO ok with :) this year we have been having a lot of fun and every month has been full of activities SO i was SO ready to tone it down :) 

So excited to get to share a birthday month with my nephew :) Samuel James was born this month and my parents were there to experience his birth and my brothers home coming, from his deployment.  He spent 9 months deployed, so the whole pregnancy.  He left his, and his wife was knocked up, and he came home to a new baby boy.  He would be the only boy in the family having the only male children LOL :) 

Samuel James :)

he is his own person but SO looks like Joey Jr.  they both have their daddy's good looks :) 

We didn't do anything until the middle of the month when we went to a baby shower if Fullerton :) it was a lot of fun and it was good to see old friends and catch up with people :) after the shower was over of course we still had to hang out and check out the local breweries :) there was one right next door to the sports venue they had the shower at.  The sports venue was really cool :) baby Kameron will be born this December.  I LOVE his name :)

As always i am still at it :) I started hard with my walks/run in September but that changed :S its okay though.  SO what I have been able to do consistently these days is walk a minimum of 2 miles Monday-Saturday, do 30 squats and this arm workout i found on pinterest.  It isn't much but it is something :)

Happy Halloween everyone :) I know it sucks, out of all days halloween is on a Monday geez :S We have no plans for halloween, cause Monday is a random day and probably because we don't have any kids :S

We will see what next month brings.  Keep it safe and blessed people :) 

September 2016 in Review

I can't believe summer is pretty much over :S we had a good summer though.  Hit up the lake/river several times and enjoyed life the month of July.  We had a lot going on the month of July so,  the river/lake didn't see us., we enjoyed everything else we did that month though. Well see what next year brings :) #excitedaboutnextyearalready:)

We started off this month like we have always liked to do, its our tradition.  We went to the LA county fair and a bunch of people that we love joined us.  The Davis family & the Burrell family.  Great experience :) The ladies escaped for a little bit to do a little wine tasting while the guys got to enjoy all the other aspects of the fair :)

Enjoying it :) Fair Fun :) 

We are all So glamorous :)

wine tasting

The night after the fair we went to Alabama.  Brandon had to get some more of his family in, so we did it again LOL on somewhat of a budget :S #notreally:S We got to spend a little time with the family at the family house, then to the NO we went with pops to spend some time down there and watch the Raider season opener game :) it was such a good game.  I had all kinds of emotions that day, so glad we came out of there with a victory.  SO glad we were able to do this. I think, it is on our bucket list.  We want to experience as many stadiums as we can. So far we have gone to the stadium in Oakland, NY. SD and now NO.  It is a great stadium and thankfully it is indoors cause the humidity down south is CRAZY.
So, we went to the game and spent time with family then back to Alabama we went to spend more time with family.  Everything we did was GREAT :) hung out, shot a little pool, walked the streets, had late night food etc...we had a GREAT time doing all of it.  For the most part we got to see a lot of people.  We didn't get to see everyone though, trying to get everyone in is always hard :S but of course we saw the grand parents :) we made time for that above everything else.
It was a GREAT trip and the southern hospitality is DOPE.  You can never get to much of that.  We got LOVE in Alabama and the NO.  They LOVED, above everything else that Raider fans came out to visit.  #freedrinks:S

here is a mess of game day pictures with the family :)

Of course I had to get me a grenade :) time didn't a lot to get the famous dessert down there :S next time :) I don't think this city has seen the last of us yet.  We have gone down there every year for the past 3 years :) #enjoyinglife

Cornbread, Clolard greens, & chicken

I had to bring a little bit of down south good food home with me #misssingmysausages:S 

Ive been trying to pick up on my regicie game agin, so I whipped this up.  It wasn't too hard & it was tasty :) I also tried this one which I enjoyed & the hubby wasn't to happy with it so, it won't be on our menu again, but at least I tried it.  

Chicken & Bisquits

We had a friend come in from out of town and was hosting a 90's get together/birthday party :)
It was GREAT to see Mecca :) Had a GREAT time at the party :)

We are some fly girls :)

Then at the end of the month our neighbor that has a pool had a BBQ, which we were invited too so, we went and enjoyed :)
#nopictures:S

I HATE when we have certain events and I forget to take pictures :S i try my best to remember what all we did for the month and keeping up with my blog is how I do so as well :) I like sharing our story and adventures :)

Stay blessed and active everyone I have :)

August 2016 in Review

This is such a HUGE month for me on so many levels :) First of all I have to give all the glory and praise to god for this 2nd chance at life he has given me.  I am blessed beyond words and SO grateful for it :)

We started of this month not doing much but then we got busy real quick.  We had our friend Eds birthday to go to on Friday the 5th.  So we hung out all night over there :) Happy Birthday Edward.  Mostly everyone knows him as Draws :)

Then the next day I had to go with my dad to John Wayne airport to drop my mom off.  She was going to Texas again solo to go see and help out with the kids.  It was the first time anyone has flown out of that airport so I went with my dad to get familiar with the airport.  I had Peanut stay at their house for the weekend cause we were off to Palm Springs.  It was a last minute trip that we were able to book through our timeshare thankfully :) and the timing of this trip couldn't have come at a better time :) It was the weekend of my 5 year anniversary of life again :) We had a GREAT time in Palm Springs, hanging out pool side and going out to play chess and smoke a cigar and have a steak dinner.  We LOVE going out there, and throughly enjoyed the BUZZ bus :) we did't have to worry about driving :) I was an emotional wreck all weekend :S As, I sat back and thought about where I was 5 years ago and where I am at today it is amazing, god is real and I am proof .  I am a  blessing, as he gave me a 2nd chance at life.  In the process SO many things could have gone wrong but they haven't thankfully :) People view me as a miracle and I agree but I just like to use the terminology of being a blessing :) I am gods blessing and will continue to push and move forward.  #BLESSED

Then that Monday we had to come back to reality :S I called my Dad because I wanted to go pick up my princess but he left her spoiled ASS in the house because she didn't get up with him in the morning LOL spoiled BITCH would not have it any other way :) She is SO spoiled :) I need to take her to Lazy Dogs again :) then we just continued on with the week.  We had another A/C quote this week so I know it coming but when I don't know :S and, I have been without a fridge for about 2 weeks :S at first I was ok but really this is for the dogs :S

 Buzz stop :) 

a night out with my LOVE :)

Pushing forward with the month we went to Culver City for a hang out to celebrate my best friends birthday :) There we got the thrill of a life time :) she is expecting :) I am beyond thrilled for her :) keep the kids coming :)

Then the next day we went out for our friends/families 16 year wedding anniversary :) Never been to this spot at Victoria Gardens but it was GREAT :)

and then we had this little angel come home to visit.  We had a girls night out in Brea with this little prince where I got to shock him up :)

Then the following week I went out to lunch several times with everyone :) My two most memorable ones are with my friend Natasha.  #somefriendshipsneverchange:)  & then the hubby & I decided to try the Royal Cut out :) I had a coupon :) I don't do anything these days without a coupon :) then another day we went to Black Angus :) his favorite spot :) 

The Black Angus deals are SUPER :) #HappyHour:)

This month has been extremely eventful :) at the end of the month we decided to do back to back river/lake trips :S which is something we never do but, because we didn't do any trips last month and it was the end of the summer we decided to go for it and just do it :) Our first trip was to Laughlin with friends & as always we had a GREAT time there :) we had a rock stuck in the jet ski that we were able to get out so its running fine and the hubby was finally able to fix the fridge :) That was a HUGE relief :) we thankfully didn't have to buy a new fridge :) #patiance&procrastinationpaysoff:)

Then the following weekend we toke off to Parker AZ :) we had family visiting so we planned our camping trip around that & I had not taken our god sons birthday into account so we had to miss his 3rd birthday party, and I was SO bummed :S We had a GREAT time at the river though :) we LOVE Parker :) it is always so much fun :) We had family go with us and a few friends with their toys :) its always fun with friends and so much better when they have their own toys that they are responsible for :) 

Parker AZ #Campingadventures:)

Since we had family here allowed we did a couple of things :) but I did;t take pictures :S which I always do, SO I'm bummed :S we did local wine tasting, went shopping, did a taco Tuesday hop that I think we created, and we had a blast :) 

family & I

Taco Tuesday

Family was here for a week and the whole time they were here Brandon was turned up LOL then they left and he crashed LOL well see if he turns it up again next month :) I think he will :) SO even though we didn't do much in  July we were still busy and were able to end the summer with a bang :) i'm kind of sad the summer is over but I'm SO ready for this heat to leave :S I hope everyone has had a good summer cause like I said even though we didn't do a whole lot it was still GREAT 

stay blessed people :)
