Melton Memories

Last week Cole and I went out for a lunch date to Arrowhead Mall.  We had to pick up a suit for Wayne's charity dinner so thought we would make an afternoon of it.  First we stopped at the RC store (remote control vehicles) and Cole didn't want to leave because he is in love with all things car!  We headed over to Chipotle for some yummy lunch.  Cole had chicken and rice and his own guacamole with chips and he pretty much ate it all!!!  Then we went over to the little carosel that he spotted.  I was wondering how he would do, I thought he would get nervous when it started to move, but he did great!  We ended our date with playing in the kids fun area before heading home and falling asleep in the car.  Great afternoon!!!  

  Cole's first Birthday trip to Prescott     Ok so I am testing different things... blog doesn't seem to want to take any photos from my computer but will take them from my Picasa page (at least that is what it is showing me).  Will keep working on it....

    Has anyone else been having problems getting photos to upload to their blog?  I can not figure out why mine will no longer upload any photos!  It just started with my last 2 posts.  Very frustrating, so if anyone has a suggestion to help I would love to hear it!  Thanks!! 

Remember that big hail storm we had in October of 2010 that caused tons of damage all around town?!  Well since we had a lot going on in our lives after that we have just finally gotten around to having our roof replaced from the hail damage!!  I think it really updates the house!  We love the new color and it won't be hard to find our house as we are the only ones on our street with a different color roof tile.  So with all the different improvements we have been making on the house I would say it is safe to say we are going to be staying here for a while!  :)         Before   During   After

We just returned home from a 10 day trip to Colorado.  It was hard coming home to all the heat!!!  We had such a great time enjoying nature and the cooler weather!  We went on lots of hikes, Wayne biked around Vallecito Lake several times (15 miles of hills) and we just hung out at the house.  Can't wait to do it again next year!!

So two weekends ago I got to go on a horseback riding / camping trip with my best friend Ann!  I was so excited to go!!! The group of women we joined have been doing this for 22 years! The last 3 years I have been unable to make it and wanted to make sure to join this year.  We came home late Thurday night from our CA trip so I could get up bright and early Friday morning to head out.  As soon as we got to Prescott it started pouring!  We didn't mind until we got closer to camp.  You see the road we were going on turned to a dirt road about 20 miles from camp... when dirt gets rained on it gets muddy... when you are pulling a horse trailer with a 2 wheel drive on very steep dirt muddy road and you have to stop behind 3 other vehicles you have a tendancy to start slidding backwards and you get umm shall we say STUCK!  Oh gosh what a beginning to our fun filled girls weekend camping trip!!  Since we were last in a canavan of 4 v...

We just returned from our yearly trip to California with all of Wayne's family.  This year his sister from TX came along with her 2 daughters that we have not seen in about 5 years making our group total 22!  Our stay started out a little rough as our hotel did not make us aware of the fact that the local train ran past our window every 40 minutes (including the night!)  Guess our first clue should have been the ear plugs they left on the night stand!!  After one night of that I went to the front desk and asked if we could move to the ocean side of the hotel and they had a room that was a major upgrade from our standard hotel room that they gave us (without the upgraded price!!!)  It was awesome!!  We had our own kitchen, washer/dryer, HUGE bathroom, basically it was a 1 bedroom condo.  That made our trip soooo much better!!!  Made mommy less cranky too!  The other plus was that we were right next door to Wayne's sisters instead of the norma...
