Just Another Tuesday......

Peanut and Baby (Peanut's Momma) just chillin' in the house because it is freaking HOT outside. And it is supposed to be 110 today. I went for my run this morning (at 5:30am) and it was already warm. I don't think it ever really cooled down last night.

Max (Peanut's Daddy), Peanut and Baby. The tail belongs to Buddy.

This has been the summer of knitting/crocheting cell phone holders. I make them with two pockets, one for the phone and one for my camera or iTouch. I made one yesterday (pictures coming) that had a third little pocket to carry my id and some money.

The one below I made for my daughter.

 I am also working on a pair of socks. This is as far as I've gotten.

The yarn is from Knit Picks, Fireman I believe.

 Last night, ZZ Top was at the AV Fair. Rolls-Royce front and VW back. It was pretty cool looking. I kinda wonder what it looks like with the top up on the front part.

 The tour busses.

 And the Boys from Texas.

 I had so much fun. I had to go by myself because Honey had softball practice. But whatever. It so brought me back to the 80's!!!

 I remember those videos. That red car, the keychain, the bobbysocks with high heels (really people? Why? And thank heavens there are no pictures with that hot mess going on!!!)

 It was fun hearing some blues, some oldies, seeing the boys "dance"!! It was not fun being reminded how freaking old I am!!!

 Have I mentioned I have a new camera? I lost the Nikon and so Honey and I bought a Sony Cyber-Shot. (I'm saving for a Canon T2) But this little point and shoot takes pretty good pictures.

 I know, I took almost this exact same picture, but I love the ferris wheel!!!! And last night there was a fire off the 5 fwy and the smoke was making a pretty cool background. I promise no more ferris wheels after this.

Day One of 90 Days To Better Health!!

The goal of our family at Casa de Max for 2010 is to create new healthy habits. We have a goal of excerising in some form everyday for 90 days. Day One 01-01-10 we walked, ok they walked us, the dogs in between football games. We took them out into the desert so they could smell rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, snakes and whatever else is out there.

The huskies loved it, Gibbs not so much!! Max is wearing a backpack with emergency gear in it! Water, bandages, poopbags! The kids want to put a GPS thing in it in case we get lost. Lost, surrounded by housing tracks on all sides. We are never out of sight of homes or the rock quarry! My kids kill me!

Day Two and we are heading out to watch Avatar and then hit the gym!!

The sunrise. What a beautiful and hopeful start to 2010!

Some Updates - Finally!!

Hi all!! Happy

New

Year!! We had some crazy weather in Palmdale. Here are the pictures from that fun

day..... It snowed for 12 hours (which compared Seattle is nothing - but the Seattle trip is tomorrows post)

We took dogs out for a walk they had so much fun even if the snow came up to their bellies!!!!

My Peanut!!

Crackerjack!!! (Peanut's sister)

Hello one and All!!!!

Off to the dog park. Of course Max thinks the center is for him and Baby thinks she needs to be there also!! The result is..... Precious knows where her place is sitting on mommy!!! She hates the sweater I made for her! Well, that is until we actually got to the dog park and it was freakin' freezing!!!!!!
Honey and I will be celebrating 5 years of togetherness tomorrow!!! It doesn't seem like five years. We have had our share of battles but mostly we laugh! Our middle daughter actually gave us a lecture because parents weren't supposed to laugh so much!!
I started school this past week, computer graphics. This is my classroom. Those macs are so cool!!! Honey said if I get an "A" she will think about getting a mac for me. (It's a debate because she is a Dell certified tech among her many talents!!!)

Here is Baby and me!! Aren't we pretty? I think I look pretty good for almost 43!!! (Actually, it turns out I am about be to 44!!!! - So I guess I still look pretty good for almost 44!!!)

I had to show this picture, Honey is under the dog, that's her elbow sticking up in the background!! HeeHee!!! Apparently it's Babys world we just get to live in it!!!

We had snow. Well, almost, missed us by about 500 hundred feet. But close enough. Here are some pictures:


Well, that's all for now! It's softball/baseball season, so pictures (lots of 'em) are coming. And I'm going to Stitches West in two weeks!! I cannot wait!!!! Eight of us Knottyknitters are going!! A girls weekend - NO kids - and yarn?!!!! Could life be any better!!!!
