Pajaro Dunes

We had a nice get-away to the beach a couple of weeks ago. We went with Chris' parents and his brother Scott's family. We stayed at a beach house that looked out on the beach. It was so beautiful. Unfortunately, Tommy's at difficult age for beaches. He's crawling and he puts everything in his mouth. So putting him down on the sand wasn't an option. It was still great to be with family in a beautiful place.



Looking for shells with Papa. We had fun dropping the shells (that we bought) on the beach without the kids looking. Boy did they find some great ones.

I'm a brunette


Yes. I'm a brunette. I'm not sure how long this will last since it was not planned. I decided to try and

save some money and buy a highlighting kit from the grocery store, which I haven't done in about 5 years. It was a 2 in one, dark color first then you add highlights on top (I liked the highlighting tool that came with it, so that's why I got this kit). Well, I didn't want to dye my hair first and then highlight, I just wanted to hightlight my roots. So I did and nothing happened. All it did was accentuate the highlights I already had which then made my roots look even worse. The next morning after doing my hair, I couldn't take my roots anymore and decided to use the dye I already had which was a golden brown. This was about 4 hours before leaving on a family trip to the beach-bad idea. Well, it turned my highlights greenish blue. Ah! I started calling hair salons and found one that could get me in right away. I dropped my kids off at a friends and rushed to the salon. I got home about 45 minutes before my sister-in-law came to pick me up. This was my first hair coloring mess up and I've been highlighting my hair since college, so I guess that's not bad. Sorry no picture of the green hair.

Trucks and More Trucks

So we got a new road the other day. The trucks started coming about 7am. George was so excited. He spent almost the whole day in front of the window, atleast 4 hours. It was so cute. He loves trucks.

That afternoon they're still watching.

Music To My Ears


I wish I played the piano more often, but it always turns into a duet or trio. Which is sweet, but not always as relaxing or fun as it used to be. I'm glad that my boys are exposed to music at a young age, and I hope some day they'll love it as much as I do.
