"happenings......................."

 Where do I start?  I just sat down at my computer to check my emails. I haven't checked them since May 30th and had 537 emails. Are you kidding me?! I really need to check them more often. Those that know me, know how bad I am about checking them. I don't clean up or check my facebook notifications either. Who has time! I'm way behind on blogging (way more important!) So here are the updates....
Well we spent Father's Day at the coast with LeRoys parents. They bought a motorhome a few months ago and have been going to Newport almost every weekend. We have been driving over almost every Sunday to visit. Been good times. Nicole usually has to work Sunday evenings so she hasn't been able to go with us at all! We make it home just before she gets off work....
We read in the paper about the cement dock that washed up on Agate Beach in Newport from the earthquake last year in Japan! We decided to park and walk down and see it. Pretty crazy that is washed up here. Tyler thought it was pretty cool.
 So many people came to see it. I don't rememeber ever seeing so many people on the Oregon Coast beaches at one time.
 LeRoy's parents got these little scooters to take with the motorhome. OMG! So fun! And hilarious.They are electric so don't go super fast. Seeing my mother in law on this scooter makes me laugh out loud!
 Tyler and grandpa wanted to take them for a spin. LeRoy got on them but was afraid he was too big so he went on a short ride....
 It started to rain so our joy ride was over............for now...........
 Nicole has been working alot. She is improving on her ice cream cone skills.... She has missed out on all of our sunday coast trips. (thanks Kela for the pic and stalking her for me).
 And LeRoy's car got totalled. Crashed............at 10:00 pm at night parked in front of our house!!!!!!!! Girl driving was TEXTING and smoking...........hit his car so hard pushed it about 35 feet past the mailbox to the neighbors house..and she was coming from the other direction!!!! Totalled her car too.  oh...................and she didn't have insurance..................I don't even want to talk about it............it's been almost 3 weeks and LeRoy still doesn't have a car............(but good lesson for Nicole to see how dangerous it is to text and drive)

 Just a random cute outfit I wore to graduation parties...................
 FINALLY got my hair done! You would think as a hairstylist I could get my hair done when ever I wanted. Yeah right! About every 6 months! Heather and Teresa and I were all just finishing up work and decided to slap some color/highlightes in all of our hair! Get it all done at once. And we went to Corinos after (at 9:00 at night) for dinner....................Thanks for a fun evening girls......
 Nicole had her wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday. I just asked her if I could take a pic of her to put on my blog. I can't believe she let me! And she let me post this one! ha! She's been pretty tired and her tummy hasn't been tolerating the pain meds or antibiotics very well. And she is still very swollen. I've been at her beck and call the last 3 days.
We just got her report card in the  mail. She missed her 4.0 this semester. She has carried a 4.0 GPA since 6th grade. She had really hard classes this year (pre-calculus, anatomy etc). But on the bottom of her report card it has her grades/GPA/ranking from her freshman year to present.............she is ranked 16 out of 264 kids in her 2013 graduating class..............that's pretty impressive! I'm so glad school is out. Kids need time to rest and regroup (so does mommy). Hope weather is nice and I get to spend some quality time with my kids and friends and family this summer...........

"location not found......"

 Location not found....................(as per facebook)..............but I know we are somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. And pirate ships? This is for real. Looks like a fake background or photoshopped (I don't even know how to do those cool things). We heard loud cannons being fired and were like............WHAT WAS THAT???!!!!! Well.............we saw 2 pirate ships just going out the the bar before you go out into the ocean and turning around. The people on board looked like tourists. Assuming they bought tickets to ride the ship thru the bay and out to the bar and back............We were in a real boat!!!!!!!
 My bro-in-law Mark got a new boat! So exciting. I love boats! And awesome for them because they fish all the time and my nephews (and sister) will all go as a family and use it alot.
 We were in Newport the same weekend as my sis and her family and happened to be staying in the same hotel. Weird right???? My sister and I have so many of the same tendencies and stuff like that happens alot with us. So I had been texting my sister all day and her and Mark and Drake had been out fishing in the ocean all day. Who knew you would still have cell service 17 miles out in the ocean???? So I get a text from my sis saying they were coming back in to dock and did we want a ride in Marks new boat????? Ummmmmm.....YES! Any chance I get to go out in the boat I'm all over it. Tyler was with grandma and grandpa at the RV park so LeRoy and I (Nicole was working!) headed down to the dock. We cruise around the bay. Bro-in-law says to me "want to go out in the ocean.....past the bar?" SURE! He looked a little shocked? He said he assumed since I had on such blingy sunglasses that I was too prissy to go out in the ocean! Bring it on! (and it was such a nice day and the ocean was SUPER calm). So off we went out into the Pacific. Of coarse my sister and I use ANY excuse to take pictures. I don't facebook but she does so she tried to post a pic and it said "location not found".
 I see land!!!!!! We're good..................
 After we got back to land we decided to go on a walk. Fun day bonding with the family. Thanks for the boat ride Mark!
