Have a Wonderful, Happy, Beautiful 30th birthday.. It's so hard to believe my guy is 30 today..
Where has the time gone.. I remember in vivid detail the day he was born (I guess all Mom's do)
He's in TN and I don't believe he's got any plans for his birthday (just like his Dad) but I hope he makes it special..

What's everyone up to
Us.. Nothing...really nothing.. We made a trip into Vegas last week for some steaks. Reid found a meat market so we thought we'd try it.. They were very good steaks.. We grilled them out on Friday evening..Steph came by after work to eat with us. The trip wouldn't be complete without lunch at In and Out.. It was Delicious.
Reid has been spending the evenings in the pool. I get in it some times but I get motion sickness when I get in it. I've started taking dramamine before I get in it and it has helped.. I never thought I'd get motion sick in a pool but something about the water moving really messes me up.
I spend most days at the gym..I've been going to some classes so some days I'm there couple hrs or longer..It's too hot to spend it outside. I do go walking each evening just as the sun goes behind the mountains.. I'm up to two miles at a time which is great. The girls are going too. I'm slowly working up there time so when we get to Leisure they will be able to go around the block with me.. Molly can now but Lady needs to walk off a few pounds
Steph and I went shopping on Thurs.. She needed new clothes.. We went to Kohl's and then to Applebee's for lunch.. She was treating and her favorite place is Applebee's not mine...I call it awfulbee's. (just for fun). It makes for a good days trip to go into town and have lunch and get back to Pahrump..
The girls are doing great. I think I've overtrained Molly.. she sees me pick up her chain and she goes to the door and squats. I want her to wait till we're outside the door.. We're working on that.. this is something she's only recently started doing..Lady has her routine and she doesn't like to miss any nap time.
You're all caught up on our busy life.. Blog later.

My new ride
This will probably come as a surprise but guess what.....we sold our Challengers.. Yes, that's right.. Having two wasn't practical and I need a car that I don't have to baby so much.. I need to be able to haul around my girls in the back seat (they didn't fit in the Challenger) and I don't want to be scared to drive it.. Everytime I got in the Challenger I was so afraid someone would hit me. And let me tell you people tried.. they'd drive right at me or pull up beside me and want to race. It was awful.. We never needed three autos and one of the cars stayed in the garage all the time so it was a fairly easy decision to make. I was ok with Reid keeping his but it was more practical to trade them both and only have two autos while we're still on the road. The truck stays in NV and gets driven alot cause every guy needs a truck, right Reid.
It was also hard for anyone else to ride with me cause the backseat was so hard to get in and out of.. I like to drive when I go places with my friends cause I get so motion sick so now I have room for at least three other friends and possible four.
One big issue turned out to be the tow trailer.. The cars couldn't be flat towed so we were always trying to get the longest site possible and a lot of time that just didn't happen so we'd have trouble with finding a place to park the the trailer in various RV parks..
I really enjoyed my Jeep that I had before we got the Challengers and I'm finding things I like about the Jeep that I didn't like about the Challenger so it's all good.
I'm not saying Reid will never have a Challenger again he probably will but right now while we still want to travel it's best not to have one..

It's now August
**I will explain why everything was posted at the same time...that's because half the time I try to blog it wont let me so I have to save everything and hope it will post the next time I try.
Aug will be another hot month but Reid is ready for it. We decided that we have plenty of patio space so we got this for our warm evenings.. I was hoping to do water aerobics in it but I don't believe it's deep enough but that wont stop me from trying. It should be plenty big for us to just sit around in it..We just got it sat up on Thursday and filled about 7pm but Reid still had to check it out last night..it was still pretty cool but after 100+ temps today it will be nice and warm later tonight. If we find that we do spend a lot of time in it we might upgrade in a few yrs.. (I'll never get him on the road if that happens)
Danny's very short visit will be over tomorrow and we don't have anymore company expected till later in Sept.. (Nancy and Bob bring your swimming suits)
Steph is in the process of looking for apt/houses to rent..She's trying to get moved in somewhere around Sept 1st.
The girls are doing great.. Molly is in to everything and Lady avoids her as much as she can but they do get along and when it's treat time they sit side by side waiting on there treats

Danny's here
Danny arrived on Tues for a short visit.. He starts back at school on the 16th so he flew out for a few days.. Having a great visit with him, I just wish it could be a longer visit. Oh well I'll take what I can get.
We picked him up in Vegas on Tues then drove around the city looking at the couple of houses that we lived in when he was a kid.. I must say the neighbourhoods have gone down hill the past 22 yrs. He was almost 8 when we moved back to TN so he remembers more about living here than Steph does. Then we headed out to the race track that we spent alot of time at where they were growing up and it's reall changed since we raced on it.. Now it has pro races both drag and round track.. Then we headed over to the M resort for lunch..
After that it was time to head back to Pahrump so he could finally met his newest sibling Molly.. She greating him with barks and growls and tail wagging and licks. she's in love with Danny. Lady was dancing all around wanting to get him too but Molly was right there getting all the petting.
We had breakfast out one day and we're going to head to Blue Diamond in a few minutes for a trip to In and Out.. he has got to try it while he's here.. He's a big fan of 5 Guys so it will be interesting to see which he likes better...Steph likes 5 Guys better (why I really don't know)
Danny and Reid will head back to the airport at around 3am tomorrow and he'll get back home about 4pm. I miss him just thinking about it.
