We are still alive! I was looking at the date of my last post and YIKES its been awhile. I havent posted because lifes been good and there hasnt been anything too exciting for me to talk about. I have a few posts that im working on but this thing sometimes wants to take forever downloading pics so I get frustrated and shut it down. Oh well Ill try it again (and again) and will eventually get them up! For now I'll leave you with this....
Dont talk on you cell phones while driving!! Not just because its "safer", or "a law" but because if you do it is EXPENSIVE! I got a lovely (i'll call it a reminder) Jimmy calls it a TICKET back in October. Now, mind you I wasnt on the freeway or even on a busy road, I was right in front of my work getting ready to pull in the parking lot. I know, I know I
was driving so technically I shouldnt have been on the phone I get that, so the officer was real nice and gave me the "reminder" and told me that first offenses arent that bad, its a $20.00 fine and I dont even need traffic school!! Im thinking Great! Lucked out! So a few days later what do I find in the mail? A bill from the city advising me of my ticket and the amount due. Lets just say it was a few hundred dollars more than $20.00. I did a double take! Asked Jimmy to read it and tell me the amount (thinking maybe its time to get new glasses) but no, he confirms the same amount! WHAT?!? So I call the courthouse, wait forever for someone to pick up..tell her "oh you must have a made a mistake, see I was only supposed to get a $20.00 ticket for talking on my cell phone, but got
this amount due with a few extra zeros!" She informs me that although the "ticket/reminder" is only $20.00 the city and county can add whatever they want to the amount. Oh really? well thank you Fresno county and city! So all in all I guess I have to pay "a little" more than the previously discussed $20.00 and give all my friends and family the warning!!! Thanks to my wonderful husband who wasnt excatly thrilled about the ticket or the fine...but loves me anyway :)
Here we are at the first snow park. This snow park was interesting. It was packed!! We got unloaded and did a test run. Jimmy went to the bottom of the hill to catch me and Shelby...well the snow was packed and hard so there was no control...Shelby and I flew down the hill so fast Jimmy wasnt able to stop us! There was no way to control the sled so to the other people on the hill it was either move or be plowed down! Shelby and i finally stopped and decided it was too rough. My poor mom fell and lex got plowed by a guy coming down. Jacob and Nikki took out another little girl so it was all around rough! We decided after maybe 10min that we should go find another spot (yes all that happened in roughly 10min!) CRAZY! So we ventured to another snow park that was much better..it had powdery snow and wasnt nearly as busy! We played around and had a good time
