TIME FOR SOME NEW DO'S

AFTER 2 YEARS OF GROWING IT OUT, MY HONEY FINALLY CUT HIS HAIR! DON'T GET ME WRONG--I THINK HE'S HANDSOME REGARDLESS, BUT HE WAS READY FOR A CHANGE, AND YES, SO WAS I. WE STARTED OUT BY CUTTING THE BOYS HAIR--I THINK CHRISTOPHER NEEDED SOME MORAL SUPPORT. THEN IT WAS HIS TURN. WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO CUT OFF ENOUGH TO DONATE TO LOCKS OF LOVE!

TO SAY THE LEAST I'M THRILLED WITH THE NEW LOOK! I THINK HE LOOKS SO GREAT WITH A SHAVED HEAD!

SUMMER VISITORS

WE WERE SO LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME SURPRISE SUMMER VISITORS THIS JULY. MY MOM AND DAD TOOK A ROAD TRIP FROM OREGON DOWN TO THE SOUTHWEST AND WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THEM FOR A BIT.

WE HAD LOTS OF FUN PLAYING THE WII AND SWIMMING UP AT THE CLUB WITH THEM. THE BEST WAS WATCHIN MY PARENTS GO DOWN THE WATER SLIDE--TOTAL CRACK UP! I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD MY CAMERA. THEY WERE ALSO KIND ENOUGHT TO STAY WITH OUR KIDDO'S WHILE CHRISTOHER AND I WENT AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF NIGHTS--SCORE!!

THE BEST THING ABOUT THEIR VISIT WAS BEING ABLE TO WATCH MY KIDS WITH WITH THEM. WE DON'T SEE THEM VERY OFTEN, BUT I LOVE HOW MY KIDS DON'T SEEM TO SKIP A BEAT WITH THEM. WE CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO COME AGAIN WHEN IT'S NOT 110 DEGREES OUTSIDE SO WE CAN ENJOY THE OUTSIDE A BIT MORE!

WATERMELON!

WE DID IT! WE ACTUALLY GREW MELONS AND CANTELOPES AND THEY WERE GOOD! I HAVE TO GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO MY HUBBY--HE WENT OUT THERE IN THE BLAZING HOT SUN AND TENDED TO THE GARDEN EVERYDAY. GOOD JOB NUGGET!
BELOW ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE KIDS ENJOYING THE WATERMELON. WE GOBBLED UP THE CANTELOPE SO FAST I DIDN'T GET ANY PICTURES.
