okay, I'm a blog slacker

As you can see from the date of my previous blog, I'm not exactly great at updating my blogs. Fortunately, I don't have a following, so no big deal. If my daughter, on the other hand, doesn't update her blog regularly,(every few days) I'm on her to do so. I so look forward to hers and all her friends stories of their kids, families and whatever else is going on in their life. Yes, I am a blog stalker and I have been known to worm my way through to many a blog. Just a couple of weeks ago, I went with Erin to her church so I could help her with the kids. I saw a young couple in the foyer and thought, hey I know them, they are so and so, and they are both full time students and they love to go to the beach. Of course, they don't know me from Adam, so I kept my mouth shut so I didn't look like a total freak. It's kind of funny and creepy at the same time.

Anyway, I think the reason I don't update, is I really don't have much to say (my daughter might disagree) I enjoy my life and I spend a lot of time with family and friends. I guess I just like talking about it in person and I don't think you'd find it all that interesting.Unless of course, it comes to my kids or grandkids, which leads me to this past weekend when I had my very busy, very cute, and very funny granddaughter here.

It was a fun filled, action packed weekend that left me exhausted but happy. Friday, I picked her up in Camarillo and we came home and played and then she went to her grandpa Hogan's house. He ran her around and then I picked her up in time for a bath and bedtime. We slept in the same bed which meant, I didn't sleep. The next day, I took her to Nipomo to ride a pony my friend has. It was priceless to watch and the girl has no fear. Then we came home, ate pizza for lunch, she washed sticks in our fountain, then she went swimming for a while. I then took her to Grandpa Hogan's house for a few hours. When she came home, she went swimming again for about an hour. She would run from 20 ft away, and cannon ball into the little pool. After a hearty dinner, I knew she was pooped. Girlfriend went to bed at 6:45 and didn't move until 7:45 the next morning.

When she woke up, she was full of energy and kept telling me that she was going to see her mommy tomorrow. When I told her no, she was going to see her mommy today (Sunday) She was not happy. She was having way to much fun with all the one on one attention she was getting. Spoil them and send em home. Not really fair to the parents, but way to hard to resist.

Needless to say, I loved having her here and we'll be doing it more often. My back can only handle it for a couple of days at a time cause she still likes me to hold her ( so cute).

I'm glad Erin got some down time and also some special alone time with Noah.

she not only helped fill the pool, she wanted to help pump it up.

She didn't want me to walk beside her. " I can do it myself, mimi."
