It’s been a quiet summer, such cool temps here in So Cal, I hate it! I need hot summer nights! I took the summer off to be home with the kids, that’s been great. I only worked part time last year while the kids were in school. It was a nice change to be out & interacting with people but as soon as summer hit I was glad to be back home.
We started off the summer by taking the kids & 8 of Christopher’s friends to the river! That was crazy fun! Can’t wait to go back! Everyone had such a memorable time.
Went to the OC Fair a few times and caught TRAIN in concert there and another time we saw Adam Lambert & Orianthi. The kids & I loved Adam but Chris wasn’t into it, didn’t hate it but probably wouldn’t see him again. Too out there for him! I’d see him again. Of course, Train was the best! Train had the biggest selling night ever at the OC Fair!
We’re heading out to Mammoth next weekend to go see, yep, you guessed it, TRAIN! Can’t wait to go hiking & playing in Mammoth then catching my favorite band!
We’ve got a Vegas trip schduled in a few weeks and we’re hoping to fly up to San Francisco in a few weeks. All of our trips seem to be at the end of summer, just worked out that way.
Christopher starts collegs in less than 2 weeks. He’s not quite sure what he wants to do so that’s been tough for him. He’ll figure it out, he’s a smart kid.
Taylor & Hailey start soccer again when school starts. Chris is the head coach! He loves it and this year the girls are on the same team so that’s great!
Taylor starts Jr High in the fall. It’s weird for me to have the girls seperated for the first time. They’ve always been together. I hate it. I’m super excited for Taylor though. She is so dang smart and I know she is going to do great!
Chris’s work is going great. He just amazes me. He is so incredibly smart and determined. He can do anything that he puts his mind to. Ok…his Chevelle is almost done! All he needs is the interior! I never thought we’d even get this far with that damn car! It’s taken him FOREVER!!!!
As for me, I’m training again for another Traithlon coming up the first week of October. I can’t wait! October can not get here quick enough! I need a bike though! My bike is not gonna cut it! So, I’m looking for one.
Also, Bob Greene, Oprah’s nutritionist, is featuring me again in his upcoming book. His people keep in tough with me all the time and see how I’m doing with my health. Most of you know that in Jan 04 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was on meds for 1 month but changed my diet and really stepped up my exercise. Bob’s books, The Best Life Diet, have been super helpful to me. His books are the reason why I am so healthy. I’ll post a msg as soon as I find out when his next book comes out.
Here’s a few pics of some of the fun things that we’ve done this lazy summer. Definately more fun to come, the summer’s not over yet. We haven’t even done a bon fire yet, what’s up with that?
I hope you all are having a fun summer!
