***** updated as 4pm ER trip*******Taking John to the Hospital...Bleeding from the crown of his head.

John will be ok, but I'm taking him to the Hospital right now. He was digging some holes...With some post hole digger that jacked back up and hit him in the crown of his head. It has been slowly bleeding for the last 2 hours and I really not see if it is a deep hole or what. So we are off to the ER. Just where I want to be all day with him and the kids.

I hope it goes by quickly and all is ok. I have to state I didn't mean to sound selish earlier about our ER trip.

**********************************************update 4pm.

We are back home from the ER, everything is ok, nothing major. Besides he is in a lot of pain and still bleeding 6hrs later.I just couldn't see where the blood was coming from, so we thought it was best to go in and see if I was missing something. Thank you all for your concern. John is just laying low the rest of the day. It was really weird to have our 3 1/2 twins come and tell me daddy was hurt and seeing him laying on the ground asking for help.

So I'm just going to watch him. I was really scared seeing him like that and asking for help.

Our Neighbor's Horses, 1 to 2 lbs or Carrots and my kids

Nathan and Rachel love feeding our neighbor's horses carrots. There is 3 horses but only 2 are able to make it up to our fence line. The other horse is over 100 years old in horse years and is gated off so, he can no longer travel up our hill. This horses names are Star and the other brown one is Snacker...the one pigging out on the carrots below.

However today the kids over feed the horses, especially Snaker....I have a feeling our neighbor below is not going to be happy to see that much carrots(1 to 2 lbs) in his horses poop....LOL, to much information.

The flies have been horrible this year...I can hardly stand all these gross flies around where we live...the joys of living out in the country.

Star

Rachel and Nathan feeding Snacker. I keep telling Rachel to lay her hands flat so Snacker doesn't snack on her hands...LOL. She just doesn't get it.


Both the kids ecxited to see their favorite horse friends, and suppling the horses with their favorite treat.


Don't you need more carrots Snacker?



All the carrots in one big pile. Star didn't like it (the pile) and took off because Snacker didn't want to share the carrots. He's a HUGE pig when it comes to carrots.

OK, this is just nuts....Dog collar and dog ID tag

Well I pretty much already have our new dog Remy a collar and his ID tag...but was looking on-line just in case the one I have is too big for Remy. I found this very pretty crystal collar....The website said it was featured at the Oscars.

Guess how much this collar is? ..............................................................................................................$245.oo dollars. Is the world nuts? I also found a diamond ID dog tag for $3,000.00.

I guess for some money does grow on trees.

It looks very pretty bigger and comes in different colors, but there is no way in the world I would ever buy my dog such an expensive collar. I don't even recall what website I found this on.

John's corporate picnic...3 Cheese Tortellini dish

I made this really tasty 3 cheese tortellini dish for John's corporate work picnic yesterday....Their end of the year picnic. It was super easy to make, boiled and drained the tortellini, added cut up celery, green onions and diced up Virgina ham. Then covered it in a couple jars of Alfredo sauce. I thought about adding more ingredients, but figured some would dislike if I added olives, peas, marinated artichokes hearts or bacon pieces.

Everyone at his office seemed to enjoy it. They played softball, John came home some nice size scraps from sliding into home.

It was nice they could all get together one last time for a SUMMER PICNIC before it started raining this afternoon. Feels like fall already....50's to 60's here today in Sunny California...LOL

New fall changes made to the blog.... viewed negitive.

I loved my new fall look, but John wasn't crazy about the new look. So I changed it AGAIN.....sigh. Now it's these pretty brown flowers.

A few Wedding pictures from 14 years ago yesterday....9/18/04

I wish I could have found bigger pictures on our computers, but this is what I found. John and I on our wedding day.

Here are just a few pictures of John and I 14 years ago. So glad he got rid of the mustache...LOL

Happy Anniversary...14 years WOW

Last night we went out...just John and I to celebrate 14 years of being married...Wow 14 years already. We went to a restaurant called the French Garden...were we had 4 course meal, a few glasses of wine. It felt so good to be alone for such a short period of time away from the kids. We spent way to much on dinner...but it was well worth the alone time and just seeing each other. Not having the kids there was nice because normally they fuss and sometimes fight at dinner time.

Here is their website. http://http//www.frenchgardenrestaurant.com/

I will have to upload some wedding pictures later. I thought this was kinda cool how this one of two lions heads turned out...In front of restaurant.

Playing around with the tint and coloring.
