June...

Before June is over I should let whom ever by chance looks at this know what has been going on.
Matt and I came home from Puerto Rico.  O.k I came home awhile ago and went back to spend Matt's last week with him in P.R. then we all came back together.  Now do we go back to live or enjoy CA for awhile longer?
My sister K. and I decided that we want to know what it's like to be skinny.  We have started running.  But it's very hard to stay motivated so we decided that we would train for a half marathon.  I believe that she wants to do a marathon but i think 13 miles is probably where I will draw my line.  We have officially finished our first week of training.  9 more to go.
My other sister J. has come to CA with her kids to visit.  We love having visitors.  Hope they love visiting.
Matt and I just celebrated our 6th anniversary.  We went away just the 2 of us (haven't done that in 4 years).  We went to the Queen Mary hotel in Long Beach.  It was really weird, just the 2 of us.  we decided that we really do like hanging out with each other, and not just the thought of hanging out.  Thank you Matt.  I had a great time.
Pics to come. Stay tuned.

Just too cute!

I just thought Makenna was too cute sitting there in her new 74 cent hat, eating watermelon.

Loves her!

March of Dimes

My brother-in-law workes at Farmers and was participating in the March of Dimes. My sister D was busy with another commitment so my sister K and I decided to take her place. K, N, and I ran the shorter route (3.2 miles) then she was off to work, while N and I walked back to meet the rest of the group and enjoy the marching experience with them.

and Makenna(not seen here) was actually in the stroller too.

Mother's Day Weekend

This has been one of the best Mother's Days for me. Matt came home to visit after not seeing him for 2 weeks. I also hated it because I knew his visit was very short.

Saturday we took the kids Simi Valley Street Fair, then went to a birthday party. Sunday we went on a family hike and then off to church followed by dinner at moms house.

Her first haircut

I thought Makenna would have received her first haircut by someone else and not quite so soon. Jacob found the scissors and Makenna was in his way. This is the piece of her hair I found on the floor.

Then I saw this on the back of Makenna's neck. He cut her with the never been used before scissors. There is a warning on the scissors: warning tip very sharp!

Poor Baby!

Here is what her hair looks like now, after her shower and hair combed.
