Mama Mia the movie

Dwight and I loved Mama Mia on Broadway in New York.  We saw the movie version tonight with some friends and it is very entertaining.  Go see it for something fun.  You will come out smiling.  Enjoy!

Surgery

I found out a couple days ago that I have to have my first ever surgery.  I have a cystic mass on my right ovary and it has to come out.  My first surgery at 49 1/2 years old.  I am a bit scared about the whole thing.  Do I have both ovaries taken out??? That's the other question to ponder.  I will let you know when it's scheduled.  Thanks for praying for me.

Change

There are so many neat backgrounds for your blog and I have wanted to change mine for a while now. Since I am new to this whole blog thing...it took me some time to figure it out. I found this awesome site called Thecutestblogontheblock.com and it was easy and I didn't lose anything at all. The only thing I don't know how to do is get rid of the three dots from my last background. I may figure that out yet...just give me time.  I changed the background again thru phyzam and had to reload all my widgets.  It was time consuming but I like it. Oh, by the way...thanks to Frank at Dwight's office I am now known as a "techno beauty"! I love that don't you?? Thanks Frank!

Bella's Special Time!

View Album

About a month ago, I decided to make cupcakes with Bella. She is my big helper in the kitchen. I started putting her up the counter to watch me and hold things when she could first sit up. She loved just sitting there. Now she likes to get involved by cracking eggs, putting the flour in the bowl, etc. I enjoy this time together and so does she. She loves to play in water and with bubbles. This was her first time at the sink playing in the dish water and helping grandma clean. These moments are the most precious and I treasure each and every one of them. I enjoyed these moments with my own children and now I get to share this time with my grandchildren. What a joy! It's my day with Bella and Dylan today. They are both napping so grandma can get a little down time on the computer. Life is good!

120 days until I am a grandma again!

Giving baby Mason loves from mom and grandma!


Dwight, Dustin and I met Danielle and Nate at their church The Bridge in Rancho Santa Margarita this morning. If you live nearby, you should check it out. We had lunch at Baja Fresh with Nate's parents joining us. It's one my favorite lunch spots. Danielle and I browsed through a couple little shops nearby and found some cute baby shower invites. Isn't my daughter the cutest expectant mother??? I love the one with our hands together giving little Mason a love from mom and grandma.

Fireworks!

Happy belated 4th to all of you! These are some of the wonderful fireworks we enjoyed with family in Yucaipa, CA. May God continue to bless America and thank you to our troops serving this great country who keep us free to live and worship as we please.

Arizona fun!

I got to see Angela, Cassidy and Brie Ann at swim lessons. What fun they had and what a great time I had taking pictures of them in the water. They even looked at me and smiled every now and then. Three precious girls. I am Brie's Fairy God Mother!! :)

Tim(my brother) and his family.


My sister, Dawn and I. She makes everyone laugh! As you can see I had a great time in Arizona with my mom, my sister and my brother and his family. I missed my sister, Pat. Her son, Zach and his fiance Tonya came and bowled with us. We went out for pizza after and then to mom's for some kuchen(coffee cake) she and I made the day before. I also saw my dad and his wife with Dawn. We went out to eat and bowled on my dad's Wii. Mom and I did get out to lunch a couple days, got in a little shopping and just enjoyed our time together. My family was glad to have me home too.
