I love him!!!

Last week, on thanksgiving to be exact, Mike drove down to Victorville to go look at a truck. This was just not any truck,it is a white, four door, chevy, long bed, allison transmission, truck of his dreams.

When he went to see it he fell in love with it, and the next day the owners were here in Bakersfield and the deal was done!

He finally has the truck he has wanted since he was 17. I can't think of anyone who is more deserving of this than Mike. He works so tirelessly everyday ,often times 24 hour days, without ever a complaint. I often wonder how he does this and never complains,because I get one hour less sleep on somedays and I complain about that.









He is such a fun dad, the kids can't wait for him to come home each night. Presley wakes up asking where daddy is, and Rocco will do something good and then say"Daddy will be so happy"They love their Daddy and I love that.



He is a man of many talents, he really knows how to do anything and can fix anything. One time a couple years ago, we were driving ome from Lake Havasu in this old toyota truck that didnt have a working gas gage, so we didn't know when we needed to get gas. So, somewhere in Glendale we ran out of gas on the side of the freeway. We happen to be pulling the jetskis, so Mike getsthis brilliant idea to siffen some gas out of the jet ski and into the truck. He pulls some tubing off the jet ski and puts it in the gas tank of the jet ski and sucks a little, and lo and behold some gas come out and then he puts just enough in the toyota to get us to a gas station. I mean seriously, who thinks of things like that.
I'll tell you one thing,I want to be on desserted island with Mike, ause I wouln't have anything to worry about.



He is my true Love and I am so blessed to call him mine. He deserves much more than this truck, but I'm so glad he was able to get.
Ilove you Honey and I love our family.

sunday extravaganza

Each Sunday we like to make an extra special dinner, every Friday night or a text Saturday morning, I give Mike the big questions of what's for dinnner on Sunday. He has a great imagination of new and creative meal ideas.
This Sundays request was, Cheescake Factory avacado egg rolls and shrimp tacos. So, I searched the web for the copycat recipe of the egg rolls and voila! here is dinner!





Everyone must try this. It is a little time consuming,but so worth it. The sauce is what makes it! and you can't complain about shrimp tacos,

This is the aftermath..... I guess we liked it.


And the finale was, chocolate peanut butter shakes!mmmm
I wonder what we'll have next week?

we had a great Halloween! we went to our wards trunk or treat and then to a friends party. the kids loved every minute of it and loved eating their candy.

Rocco was a pirate, his mustache was itching him and I told him to stop it scratching it. He then said"there is ants on my chin and it makes me itchy" This kid cracks me up every day and he has so many funny things to say.

My little fairy was so cute. We put some mascara on and blush and some sparkly eyeshadow and some red lips! She loved getting her makeup on and when I told her to show mike her makeup, she puckered her lips. She is a girl after my heart,she likes makeup!










Hope next year is just as fun!

have you ever got that nasty smell in your towels after they have been used to many times
terrible, nasty, yucky, mildew smell. I've soaked them in bleach,washed them right away, nothing gets rid of it. They smell good when they come out of the dryer, but once they get wet again, the smell starts up.
So if anyone has some good tips about this situation, let me in on the secret.
