modesty

Thank you Erica for reminding me that we need to have a FHE lesson on modesty. Alex (3) has decided my lingerie is the most beautiful dress-up she has ever seen. I then decided I'd better hide those articles of clothing. It didn't take her long before she found where they were hidden and had assembled a new outfit. She was so proud of her new beautiful clothes that she had to show Daddy. He freaked out...until she ran outside...then I freaked out!

brides

Me in my wedding gown.

Tori in my wedding gown.

Alex in my wedding gown.

I used to dress up in my mom's wedding gown all the time. I am so glad that I kept my dress so my girls can do the same. When I chose my dress I wanted something simple and timeless so if one of my daughters wanted to wear it they could and it wouldn't be too out-dated. I can't believe I already have two beautiful daughters. I guess I'd better start saving for their weddings. HA.

Hair Do or Hair Don't

I asked my sweet little girls if they would play with my hair. I love having my hair brushed or played with. Alex was so excited to "do Mommy's hair." As she started to brush my hair I entered a trance like state, enjoying every minute of it until there was a knock at the door. I jumped up and ran my fingers thru my hair only to discover that some white, thick, creamy substance was throughout the top of my hair.

Come to find out...Alex found a tube of diaper rash cream on the couch and thought it was hair cream. Viola...Mommy's new hair do. Now I have greasy, matted hair that will need several shampoos to get clean!

ballet

Class is back in session at Ms. BJ's Ballet Studio. I can't tell if being the teacher to my daughters is going to be useful or not. Class usually starts out just fine until daughter A or daughter B gets some "constructive criticism" or not enough praise. Then a pout sessions begins or a tantrum followed by a door slamming or a dramatic sprawl across the floor, blocking any other dancers from passing. Yes, this is usually how class goes for me and my daughters.

Oh the joys of motherhood/teaching.

Onto another year of blissful ballet classes.

our trip to pacheco

We thought we'd take a nice, relaxing trip up to the mountains to enjoy a Saturday afternoon. It started out well until Garrett thought his "stupid red truck" could make it through the mud. After ignoring the boulders in the road...warning us not to take this road...we got stuck! Not once...but, TWICE! Good thing we had two other 4x4 trucks there to help us out. Thank you Cade and Trent. I think Garrett is finally realizing that his 17 year old truck isn't a "spring chick" anymore.

The Entourage of RED trucks!
My little cuddle bug!
Our little adventure when from bad to worse...we got rained out once we arrived to camp.
We huddled around the table...ate lunch...packed up and came home.
An adventure no one will forget. Memories to last a lifetime.

addiction

Step 1: admitting you have a problem.

Yes, I am addicted to buying swimming suits. I know this problem started the first year I became a lifeguard and it hasn't slowed down any since! Every year I purchase atleast 3-4 new bathing suits. Heck, I'll even buy them in the fall and winter. As you all know, I keep spare swim suits EVERYWHERE because you never know when you'll need one. Well, this year has been no different.

Step 2: INTERVENTION

I need help!! If Garrett sees this post...I'm in trouble. HA. These are some of the suits I have bought this year.
