Melton Memories

Since I don't have any plans for traveling before the babies are born we have been hanging out around town a lot. My mom has been a jet setter for the past couple weekends which is nice because she deserves it! She never goes anywhere, just works works works, so it was good to see her excited about traveling to Seattle and Montana. We had a pretty nice weekend! Friday night we did taco night and watched a movie at home. Saturday I had to do a little work but Wayne came with me then we headed over to Babies R Us to check things out. I had Wayne test drive the stroller that I really want (and he really liked it too) then we headed over to the rocking chair area and stayed there forever testing out all the chairs. I think that we narrowed it down to 2 different ones (geez who knew those things could be so expensive! lol) We then decided to go home and relax for a bit before heading over to Wayne's brother Guys for an hour or so before going to dinner with Wayne's crew. ...

Ok by now it should be apparent that I am not to good with posting these photos, but at least I think you can get the general idea. First set is the little body profiles, second is a closer head shot and third is baby A (Shake) waving :)

You know when I hear that our weather is going to be 108 (although I have to admit that is better than 114 like it has been) I long for the summer days of Montana! I'm so bummed that we are going to miss our annual MT trip this year :( I guess I can sit and look at our pictures from last year and pretend I am there sipping coffee in the morning down by the lake, reading a book on the deck in the afternoon, wake surfing in the evening hours.... At least I can dream about next year bringing 2 little ones with to share in the fun! :)

Hemi: an internal combustion engine in which the combustion chambers are of hemispherical form. (Boils down to FAST!) Our Hemi was definitely fast... he would race around the house from room to room jumping over furniture and attacking unsuspecting toys! Hemi was one of the best kitties we have ever had. He was almost more like a dog than a cat. He bonded with us instantly! We loved this cat so much!! Last week we had to do one of the hardest things as an owner of a "furry kid". We had to make the decision to put our little 1 year old kitty to sleep. About 6 weeks ago we noticed that Hemi had what seemed like a kitty cold when we returned from vacation, so Wayne brought him in and got him on some antibiotics. He seemed to get a little better but did not seem to full recover like he should. About 2 1/2 weeks ago or so I noticed that his belly seemed to be very bloated. Wayne decided to take him back in to the vet in case he had a blockage and the news he was given wa...

Here are a few photos from our recent trip out to Oceanside, CA. The weather was pretty cold in the high 60's (well compared to Phx @ 114) Wayne with Hailey & Neveah. They loved that he would stay down in the water with them Wayne with Cassie & Madison on the Pier Cassie, Madison and I on the Pier Wayne and I on the pier

Heading out to California 'til Monday.... WooHoo! Hopefully it will be cooler out there than here! Geez it was 101 before 9:00 this morning!!!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Hope everyone has a day filled with fun and laughter with friends and family around! We are having a few people over to lounge at the pool and have a BBQ, what's the 4th without a BBQ right?! Mom and John were lucky enough to make a trip up to Montana for the week and are having a great time. She told me last night that they bought so many fireworks that they were going to put on a show for 2 nights.... Now I am not talking little things like sparklers and those little buzzy things on the ground (can you tell I'm from AZ where we are not allowed to have fireworks and I don't know what things are) I'm talking big fireworks! John built a huge thing that sits on the deck to the lake and shoots them off!!!! Oh did I forget to mention that the weather is absolutley amazing up there right now! It's only going to be 103 here today!! LOL Well at least it isn't 114 like the other day, woohoo!! Maybe next year we'll be able to go with babies in tow.. LOL This i...
