computer is up and running

woohoo now i can spend endless hours on the internet...or well not really!
i really dont have time now for photos of my holiday , but we are home... in the new home emma is still not 100% but feeling a lot better i was sad to say bye to vegas early i love vegas but glad to get my baby home to where she felt a little bit better surrounded by her stuff! and so happy to see Matt it had been way to long soooo long in fact we are bugging each other cause we have been apart too long.

I Had a great holiday but would never ever repeat it. my Fav part was our trip to Mexico with Mely i loved seeing the real and tourist sides of mexico and also eating real mexican food that was AMAZZZING!!! i can never look at taco bell etc the same way again its ruined for me!!! Emma i think mostly enjoyed talking to and petting all the animals on the ranch in particular the little puppies and letting the calves lick her fingers or really her whole hand!
We got to go to calico a ghost town in california somewhere that was a blast. i revisited San y sidro which Mel and i went to 2 years ago and then continued our trip down memory lane by her buying hundreds of shoes!!!!
other things we got to do drive through a tree pan for gold and also pan for precious stones we stayed in some real wierd parks that would make your head spin just driving there and we also got to meet a cayote and a raccoon and hundreds of squirrels . we saw the golden gate bridge which was pretty unimpressive but i guess is similar to the Eiffel tower in that it probably was impressive in its day! we spent a little to long in san diego and we were left with little to do. But Mely definately showed us a good time!

what else funnily i am itching to go back and visit more with Tia and see Asa smiling! after saying i wouldnt visit in the summer i went at the hottest time!

we had our first house guest this weekend Michael Larkin came up to do some interviews , poor guy was pretty much left to his own devices in the evening as matt and i still try recover from moving!!!!!!
the heat wave in Seattle seems to be drawing to a close with rain forcasted for thursday and temperatures not going above 90 the past 2 days .The temperatures have made it clear that insulation is at the top our list to get done in the house ceiling first then windows (which matt thinks are fine...) then insulate the walls doesnt it sound fun???? ok well maybe not! this weekend we finally secured the last of our needed appliances we now have a washer and dryer and a stove!!!! woo hoo.... next we will talk about the dishwasher...i might be saving up my blow money for that!!!

we also bought matt his bigest toy yet (other than the house) a ride on lawnmower yeah 1/2 acre lot might not sound huge to you but when you add brambles and a slope to the mix a ride on was needed i have some pics of that in our minivan! ill have to get it together and get it up. i think its gonna be a while until pics of our house are posted since it is a disaster! the kitchen is a horrid orangey colour and the cabinets are old very very very old and i dont really want to think about putting my stuff in the drawers but since i have bleached them it should be fine right???? the lounge has a pink ceiling and .....you get the idea!!!!!down the line though ill get them up. i believe Emmas room is next on the list after insulation


so a long hiatus from blogging and a long post to make up for it ...any questions?
