Murrieta Valley High School Boys Varsity Soccer

Framing the Moment...

Party Time!!

Let the Celebrating Begin! Andy decided he wanted to have dinner at Claim Jumper to enjoy a nice big juicy steak :)

They also suprised him with a yummylicious slice of icecream cake that we all just had to taste :)

Andy Turns 21!!!

Wow.. hard to believe my first born turns 21 today at 9:43 am! Where has the time gone?? My 'little lord fontleyroy' is now a grown man... a loving, caring man who will go far in his lifetime :)

Happy Birthday Andrew Paul Wood.. We love you!!!!!!!!!!

Destruction...

The huge field out behind our house is finally being cleared away.. to make room for the next High school to be built here in Murrieta.
Its a sad day.. as they have started tearing down the many large trees on the property :( Hawks are circling overhead..birds, bunnies and squirrels are scattering :(
It always saddens me to see such big trees taken down. Last nite as i lay in bed reading.. I heard a lone coyote.. a sort of cry or call out ..like he was looking for the rest of his family. Not the usual 'i've caught a bunny for supper' scream.. but instead a sad song being sung :(

shouting out to my peeps...

some altered photography art...

I took this picture of the amish while I was in NY this summer..and just felt it had such a surreal dreamy look..

Ahhhh the Smell of Soccer in the Air....

Murrieta Valley High School Soccer has started...and so begins the muscle aches..the shivering in the stands during those 'under the lights' games..and crockpot meals!!

Lunch at the Brownstone Cafe - Fullerton, CA

Today was an excellent day! Reminded me of a blustery, fall, Winnie The Pooh type day as we headed into Fullerton to visit Sara at work!

click on the picture to go to their website

We enjoyed lunch at the Brownstone Cafe..located in the Villa del Sol building in Fullerton (believed to be haunted!!!)
I decided on the Grilled Cheese on sourdough, a cup of their famous Tomato Basil bisque soup.. ..a side of yummy potato salad and an iced tea :)
The SOUP is to DIE for!!! It is positively, HANDS DOWN, the MOST delicious SOUP i have EVER had the pleasure of spooning into my Hungry Fat Face!!! hehehehe .. one word sums it up best.. Y U M ! ! !
Next time I will order the take home 55 gallon drum size please :)
I highly recommend the Brownstone Cafe to EVERYONE for lunch...it has a cozy, artsy atmosphere..with handpainted walls..and huge still life paintings (done by the owner ..i believe)and is tucked inside the building..surrounded by a beautiful , leafy, garden courtyard area...its heavenly :)
Ask for Sara ..and tell her I sent you :)

Raisin & Rooster

Im so loving my birthday present from my bestest friend Kim.. and Raisin-kitty was enjoying the photo session that she decided she wanted to get in on the action..

Turtle Happenings

Look what 'adopted' us!! A Russian Tortoise.. showed up on our back patio last week...**must have smelled the yummy thanksgiving feast we enjoyed!!**

We've named him Vladimer aka "Stretch"

Our traditional Christmas pose that we do on Thanksgiving day each year. It's fun to see how much we've changed over the years!

Our RV Adventure has begun...

Weekend Getaway...
June 2006


Ahhhh.. Tim and I were able to relax and enjoy some quiet time up in the Mountains at Lake Arrowhead...

The fresh mountain air..the lake..the breeze...
and Lake Arrowhead village is a must see.. with lots of little gift shops.. rides and a carousel for the kids.. beautiful sights of the lake.. boaters, skiers...and great places to eat..

Prom Preparations

It's almost Prom time! Sat. May 13th.. TJ prepares to take his girlfriend to the Jr. Prom :)
Yesterday, he stopped at the florist and ordered a corsage.. amazing how time flies.. I can still clearly see him being a ring bearer at my brother's wedding years ago!
Saturday will be the big day..and the limo will arrive to pick them all up :) Ahhh.. memories in the making :)


Honey Gets a Haircut Today!
Waiting for the groomer to call to tell me she's ready. She'll be smelling so clean..and feeling so silky soft .. and then she'll be depressed :( She's funny.. she gets sort of depressed after the groomers.. mopes around..almost like she's embarrassed or sad :( I will have to post a pic of her later today :)

Sara Lost Her Wallet!
And is hoping a good samaritan will find it and turn it in. Drivers license, college id, cash, debit cards, starbucks and albertsons gift cards, pictures, receipts...basically her whole life in that little fold of leather :(

Today is Crunch Time!
Final uploads and preparations for the May 10th release of the Pfatt Marketplace are happening as i type.. errr..well...will continue as soon as im done with my little 'lunch break' here :) Looks to be a great month.. lots of new and one of a kind offerings from our artists :)

Saturday, May 6

Sara's coming home today!! :)

Oh The Places You'll Go....

Well... here goes..
my first attempt at this whole blogging rage.. Im guessing its a sort of 'online diary' that lets me pour my heart out in an attempt to make you love me :) heheheh

A newsworthy day, one of my bestest friends called today to tell me her daughter will be touring with Janet Jackson!!! How very excited I am for her...for BOTH of them! My buttons would be a'poppin'!! :) and I imagine I'd be peein' my pants!! Congrats Jilly-bean!!!! :)
