Going Back In Time...

Bout a month ago, my Uncle Brion passed away due to brain cancer. His family lives in Grass Valley. CA. We lived there from when I was 11 to 16 so I still have some friends there. Some of my very best friends! And my BFF Clara was in town visiting from London! So it was a sad reason to have to go out, but I was thankful that I would get to spend some much needed time with my girls!

This was Kyra the morning of. She was super excited to go. She has been to Grass Valley a few times. She loves it, and loves my friends!!

The car ride was fun, even as packed sardines!! I love the area, beautiful trees!!

Haylee, Me, Corvus, Clara, Kyra and Eric & Lavinia (not in the water)
The first day there, Kyra was in the pool, at our favorite hotel! We invited the gang over!!


The River

My bff Clara's newest little one... Lavinia!! Such a sweet baby!

Her oldest Corvus, who didn't want his picture taken!! haha

Another day swimming. Kyra and Haylee became quick friends. Haylee is my bff Daphne's little sister. Well little 14. ha! :)

We were rushed trying to get a pic... But here are Clara, Daphne and I!

Last night there we hung out at a little coffee house called Cafe Mecca! Yummy stuff!!

We had a blast!! We can't wait to go back! Thanks to all my friends for dropping everything last minute to hangout with me!! I love you!

A Scary Morning!!

This is what I woke up to at 4:24 am this morning!!! Of course it including screaming, and lots more people trying to help. Including like 7 police cars, 3 fire trucks, 4 ambulances.... Ugh!! This car went through 3 yards before rolling over in mine, and landing at the end of my driveway. Quick recap, there were 6 young people in this car. Two 21 year old men, who are now in critical condition, neither wearing seat belts, one was ejected. Two 18 year old's, one female one male. The male ran, but came back. Had an alcohol level of .176 , 30 minutes after the accident. There was also a 16 and 13 year old girl in the car. Everyone was Drunk! They found drugs, alcohol and illegal fireworks in the car and all over my lawn.
I'm exhausted and don't know what will happen next. I haven't even received any information on the people in the car. All I know right now is that I'm angry and frustrated. Sick that people would put themselves in this situation. Oh and they were going 80 mph. Down my street!!

We Are Still Alive

Yes it has been awhile since my last post. And yes I have alot to catch up on!! But we are all doing good, and looking forward to a fun summer!!

Kyra was able to go up to the mountains with her BFF Lorilie and her wonderful family! They had lots of fun, and Kyra wants to do it more. I have always wanted to, but just don't know where to go. So I guess I will be researching that! And what a great way to escape the heat for just a bit!!

My little girl is one year older today! She started the day out in the beautiful weather!! Her and Cosmo ran through the neighbors sprinklers. Then her Grampa J came and took her to a Birthday Breakfast!!

Cosmo and Kyra running fast!!

Coming home..

Kyra will be home tomorrow night!!!! Im soooo excited! I have missed her lots, but these last few days have been miserable without her. So Yay!!

Yes I even miss that face!!

Off Track Fun!!!

Kyra and her friend Lorilie both had vacations planned this off track. Lorilie went the first week, and Kyra is gone the last week. So we met in the middle to have a few sleep overs, and LOTS of fun!! We went and saw Penelope at The District! I Loved it, such an awesome movie!!
