Pretty Princess

Shaunee is back and shared the pics of Madison from the trip to Disney. I just had to show off my angel. I love her so so much and am so happy she had a great time! Shaunee, we love you to pieces and this meant so much to us! Thanks babe! In case you're wondering who that handsome little lady killer is in the first pic, thats one of Shaunees little men, Dominic. Isn't he a sweet little fella? I could just eat him up!


So proud

We are so proud of Gwen, such a smart girl! She must have got her smarts from her daddy *wink wink* She's been prepping for the California state test, we know she will do well. Maddie has been as well, well, the Florida state test...spoke to her today and I asked how it went, she said "oh, you know, really easy mom." LOL! We're so proud of our sweet girls, they are so wonderful AND smart!

Slip n Slidin!

Not really, they are too messy, but the kids did have fun on the kiddie pool and in the sprinkler this weekend. The best shot I got of them together of course both of them weren't looking, oh well...maybe next time.

A face only a mother could love-famous cheese face

Alien Flower


I was walking around the backyard this weekend and saw this crazy looking flower, I tried googling it, and I think its a passion flower. I didn't think it was real when I first saw it, we have a lot of debris that blows around in the wind and lands in our ivy, so I thought it was some fake flower or something, but nope, its real. Its really strange looking, I HAD to take a picture. Enjoy.

Cut my hair

Finally after almost a year I decided it was time to chop the mop. Call me lazy, but an hour to dry my hair was entirely too long. I wanted layers, but the last time I got layers, about 10 years ago, they messed up so bad, I chopped my hair super short because of it. I was trusting of the girl who did it and told her only to take a little off the longest and do some layers that I could work with. I am completely happy with what she did, a hairdresser who listens to you. Imagine that. So, the longest parts 4-5 inches or so and about 8-9 inches at the shorter parts. It doesn't look that much shorter, but it feels so much better, lighter and more body. She added the curls, my hair is stick straight. Dont mind the weird angles, its really hard taking pics of your own hair.

Deep Thought #1

I would like to have many deep thoughts, but I can't guarantee that. We'll start with #1 and go from there.

I was lying in bed the other night thinking of something that would be a GREAT post, but I did some research and found nada. My theory is, if you believe in reincarnation you just MIGHT be a dead celebrity. So I tried looking up the kids birthdays to see if any of them were born on any 'celebrities' birth dates. This sounded like such a cool idea, then I was going to compare their personalities to each person I found and see if any of them were a good match. Unfortunately I came up with nothing...can you believe it? No one 'famous' died on their birthdays, or at least that I could find. So I guess none of our kids are famous, at least not in the publics eye, but we think they're pretty mad wicked awesome.

So, if you want, look up your birthday along with something along the lines of celebrity death and see if you can find someone like you! If you do, post it in my comments, I'd be interested to see what you find!

Our Pad

Check it out, we moved in early March, we finally have at least half of our stuff unpacked. The garage is still cluttered (that first pic is the first day we were moving in), but we're getting to it.
