Renovation... Where's the primer?

So we have officially started renovation on our soon to be home, that's right it's still not "officially" ours we have hit every bump in the home buying road it has been more like an awful off road hell. This last bump has to do with the city and the fence into the backyard, it's not really a fence is the problem it's more like two big pieces of wood with a padlock across it to keep it closed which is not good because of the pool in the back, so the FHA won't sign off until the city inspects it and knows that we are aware of the problem and that we will fix it...god we know we know and we are going to fix it but it needs to be ours first god! But that all said the listing agent said we could go ahead and start our renovation as long as we didn't move in (yeah have you seen the place it needs a total overhaul before we can do that) which is why we need to start renovating like last week (when escrow was supposed to close.

This is what happens when you don't use primer, the paint is litterally peeling off the walls. Actually it's a good thing makes my job a little easier.

What are some people thinking??

Maybe we should use all those sheets of paint for a pool cover, lol

Vegas Part II

I never thought I would enjoy Vegas with a child but it really was fun and Syd is the ultimate "party girl".
The Fremont Experience, downtown was rockin it was the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.

we met some friends at the pool.
and on the way home we totally had to stop at the famous Barstow Del Taco..YUM

Vegas Baby

Our last summer trip was a girls weekend in Vegas, and we had a great time. We spent much of

the time in the pool as the weather was great, really warm but not unbearable. Sydney loved all the lights and of course tried to negotiate with us to play some of the slot machines. Sorry gotta wait 19 more years.

She loved running thru the casinos with all the music and lights, she would always want to stop and dance. The girl loves an audience.

She also loved all the mirrors, this is her Home Alone tribute.
Here we are in front of our hotel The Monte Carlo which is sooo awesome !! As you can see below they also had awesome pools yes pools they actually had 3, a lagoon style, a wave pool, a toddler pool and a lazy river. Now you can see why we were there all day!

Daddy Finally did It

Mom's Night

Yay!! another Mom's Night out  and we had a blast it started off as a Bunco night but then we had a few cancellations so we turned it in to a game night.  We played Sing Star and Balderdash and had lots and lots of wine and good food.
