I'm back.......

Well hopefully. I just haven't kept up much with my blog since moving. Strange. I thought I would be blogging much more since I'm so far away. I went to Texas for Christmas and now I'm back in California.

I really really really love this coat!! I think I look Lovely in it!! One of the buttons fell off when I got back from Texas but someone in California that thinks I'm swell, sewed it back on for me! :)

Ashley's birthday was the 19th. She informed me when I moved here that this was "all about Ashley day." I stayed up until after she went to sleep and put notes all around the house. Well my intention was all around the house but they all ended up in her room. I put a big one on the mirror that said "Happy Birthday Ashley I love you-love Amber" then there was one inside the medicine cabinet that said Happy Birthday and one in the drawer where she keeps her make-up one the room with the toilet and one in the closet. She enjoyed hunting them down.

She always wants to eat a Jack in the Box and Chilli's on her birthday. We met the boys for Lunch at Chilli's and then did some shopping, went by Priscilla's and watched a movie. Then for dinner we ate Jack in the Box. I made sure I was extra nice that day. Here is a Picture from lunch.

Ashley's friend Priscilla has 5 kids. I have pretty much adopted the youngest 3 since moving here. Alianna is about to turn a year old, Christian is 5, and Angie is 8. I was at the house one day when Angie came home from school and said she was going on a field trip. I asked if people could go as helpers. She said yes and wanted me to go so I did. It was so fun. I didn't ride the bus. I made a sack lunch and left it in my car, I was so hungry after the field trip. We went to the Western Science Museum. We learned about the water cycle, why there are not dinosaur bones in California, and about the fossils that were found and what paleontologist and archaeologist do.

The kids got to be archaeologist and dig for fossils in the lab. It was pretty neat. They also made fossils in another part and looked at different stuff. Then we ate our lunch and the kids went back to school and I came home. It was a fun day and makes me excited to have kids and get to help out at their schools someday in the future.

I'm still on the hunt for a job, and I'm hopeful something will come about real soon.
