Welcome to the Blackmon/Irwin Family
Welcome to our World
Hi, I'm Lanie and my husband is Ron.
We are the cute couple above, cheek to cheek. We have been married now for over 13 years and we live on 20 acres in Corona California, where our home is nestled in a canyon which is surrounded by hills, 5 minutes to major freeway, mall, movie shows, golfing and restraunts.
Truly a wonderful place to live and also a great place to raise our 3 Golden Retrievers and Potbelly Pig.
We are very blessed in life and I am very happy.
Never knew life or I, could be so happy.
OUR FAMILIES
OUR FAMILIES
A few pictures of both our families. I have a pretty big family and they are crazy & fun loving too. It's a good crazy!. There are photos of all different kinds of things that families do. I am very proud of my family as Ron is of his. Enjoy the Irwins & the Blackmons
OUR BEAUTIFUL FURKIDS
ALLY, MANDI, & ROOTBEER
My furbabies.
I love my 3 Goldens so much and they are my kids with fur. They keep me on my toes thats for sure and I don't know what life would be like without them in it.
I also have a page for my favorite Angel Golden,
my Brandi Girl.
Brandi passed away June 12th 2006 from Lymphoma Cancer.
I miss her so dam much and I wish Brandi was still here. She was my best friend and I was very close to her out of all my goldens. It was just Brandi, Ally & Ginger** at first.
After Brandi passed, well, you can read about it on her page called "Angel Brandi".
Because of Brandi, she lead me to Rootbeer and Mandi at the Corona Shelter. They are brother & sister goldens and I adopted them at the Shelter in 2006.
**Ginger passed away on June 18, 2008. She was 11 years old and we had to put her down due to a Mega Esophagus, which puppies are known to get not 11 year old healthy goldens.
She lived a very happy, and loving life with us and we miss her alot.** Because of Ginger, I continued to bring more goldens into our lives over the years.
Then there's Chance my potbelly piggy. I rescued him from across the road at our neighbors house. Chance has been with us since 2004 and is a very happy piggy.
All God's creatures deserves this.
OUR HOME- BEFORE & THEN AFTER
Do you want to see what two determined people (Ron & I) can do? When we bought this 20 acres for $75,000.00 in 2001, it also had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom mobile home (A 1980) on the property which hadn't been lived in for over 2 years and it was a mess. A mess is a mild word for it really.
So there is photos of what we did to the property, what we knocked down and what we put up and replaced.Then we decided to get a bigger place.
We bought our new home in 2004 and lived in a little 25' travel trailer with 3 golden retrievers where the old house was, while it was being put on our property. The 13 Sycamore trees in the front yard blocking our view, we knocked down a year later. And finally our latest project which we just completed in 2008, is our pond where the trees used to be and then added our beautiful green grass.
It was a dusty dirt filled front yard for over 5 years and oh my, I love my grass and pond. Ron did a awesome job, and I helped a little too!!!
