:: Today's To-Do List ::

Well, based on the sun being out for most of the day (based on the weather forecasters) I really don’t want to be cooped up inside – However I have a hefty T0-DO list that I must get started on!

I have not been feeling well the past few days due to this lovely head cold I acquired once we returned from Palm Springs and today is the first day I am actually feeling like myself again, so hopefully I will be able to accomplish what I have set out before me.

Here is my current TO-DO list:

Wrap Gifts (two birthday gifts for family members)
Pay Bills/Organize Budget (what budget!?!!? Just kidding)
Contact B&W Insurance re: New home insurance
Set up “House Reno Binder” (for house samples and pictures)
Pick up a few groceries
Change bedding
Finish Laundry
Organize dinner (hmmm, Tuesday night surprise?)

My parents are arriving home today sometime from their travels to California and back, so I am sure we will be spending some time with them tonight visiting plus we have a meeting with our mortgage broker to finalize the rest of the details for the house.

Some of you have been asking when we are moving - well that lovely day is coming up very quickly, we will be moving out of our current home on April 16/17 into my parents place for a month or so to give us time to do some reno's on our new place prior to moving in. But our actual move day for our furniture etc. to go to the new place will be April 19th. YIKES, better get packing!

Have a great day Ladies and hopefully I’ll get outside to enjoy the sunshine like most of you are!

:: Crazy Weather ::

:: I can't believe that we saw snow yesterday - It was quite the shock to hear on the radio, "and you may be waking up to snow this morning." But yes it was true, we did have snow and here are the pic's to proove it! ::

:: Dinner with my Aunt Shirley & Uncle Ron @ Catalina Spas - they have been down in Desert Hot Springs since mid November (lucky retired peoples) - we had a great dinner with them in their 5th wheel! I couldn't believe that she actually did a roast - It was amazing! Thanks for having us in! ::

:: Jacob hanging out with Grampy at Ruby's in Palm Desert ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 3 ::

:: Our very own lemon tree - In the yard of the house we stayed at there was this beautiful (very fruitful) lemon tree...we smelt the sweet nectar of the flowers every time the wind blew through the yard. It was amazing! :: :: My Boys playing in the pool - Jacob turned out to be a real fish by the end of the trip ::
:: Some beautiful flowers that were right by my head when I was sunning....that's the only reason I took a picture of them, the camera was close and so were they :) ::
:: Jacob enjoying the pool and Daddy dropping water on his tummy ::
:: Jacob's set up - we were able to set up the jolly jumper outside under the patio and then set up a little t.v./dvd player on a chair in front of him. So if he was bored with watching us swim he could just move himself around to the t.v. and enjoy his movie. ::

:: Still more to come... ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 2 ::

:: One of our first stops in P.S. was Costco - now you know you're in P.S. when they have a Cadillac Golf Cart for sale...I believe it was selling for $1700.00! I stand corrected: Paul informed me that it was actually $13,000.00 for this crazy little golf cart!!!! :: :: Jacob taking his turn at the wheel ::
:: Paul along with my Uncle and Dad went to this beautiful canyon called Indian Canyon. I stayed home with my Aunt, Mom & Jacob - It was too hot for a hike. This day ended up breaking records - it was 110 degrees! I was very thankful we didn't go, my Dad ended up having heat stroke from the hike mixed with a golf game ::
