Another year closer to 30!!

Well today I turn 29!! One more year and I am 30! Scary! I still think I am 19! It's crazy! I had such a great day. My kids were whispering in the morning that it was my birthday and I got alot of hugs and kisses. Parker told me that we could do whatever I wanted today. That is huge for him to say because he whines, complains and mopes around the house if he can't play after school. Matt brought me home flowers, and 6 different perfumes from Victoria Secrets. The kids gave me a little clip light to hook onto my books when I read at night so I don't bug Matt. We went to a pumpkin patch and chose our pumpkins to carve. Later we went to dinner with my best friend Cher and her family at a great restaurant and then we went to the yogurt shop for dessert. It really doesn't get much better than this!!

First Snow

So we woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. Snow is everywhere. The kids are so happy. The dogs are so happy. Oakley my 4 year old hasn't seen snow like this. She was too little before we moved to Hawaii to remember what it is like. She walked into the kitchen this morning and said "Oh my gosh! Look there's snow!" And then she pretended to faint on the floor. All 3 of my kids threw on their coats (good thing we just bought them this week!) and hats and gloves and ran outside in the back yard. They dogs went out with them and hopped through the snow. I am not quite sure how I feel about the snow, I do like the warm! I think I will like it better once I find a coat for myself!

Happy Snow Day to Everyone!!

These Boots are made for walking......

Last night my friend Cher and I were supposed to go to our Yoga Class. I went to pick her up and her husband was running late from work. We thought we would just go workout instead since we missed our class. Then the shopping devil on my shoulder said "Hey you two could go shopping instead!" So in our workout clothes looking like WT, we went out shopping. We had alot of fun! I got the girls boots. Since we haven't been around for the winter for a couple of years, we have no winter clothes! Looks like I will be doing alot of shopping! (Sorry Matt!)

Haircuts and fun times at Discovery Gateway!

So yesterday Oakley and I had plans to go to lunch with my friend Sarah and her daughter Samantha. We were getting ready in the morning and Oakley wanted to paint her nails. We did her hands, and then she went in the bathroom to get another color for her toes. A few minutes later she comes in and I look at her. She has tiny bangs! And they are FAR back. Now you might think "What's the big deal? You are a Hair Stylist!" Let me tell you it is one thing to fix another person's mistake, when it is your own kid it is hard to figure out how to make it better! I swear I forgot everything I have learned and just stared and stared. She started crying and I asked her where she had gotten the scissors. Of course she was smart and thought "If I am going to cut my hair I should use mom's super sharp professional scissors that cut very easily!" I took her in the bathroom and showed her in the mirror. She really started crying. She is my girly girl. She loves to look cute and she knows a bad haircut when she sees one! So we fixed her bangs a little and went to lunch with our friends. When we got back I fixed them a little more and gave her a
A-line. I think she looks super cute and most importantly she likes it!

Circus Fun!

Last Friday we went to the circus! It was so much fun! Matt was a good sport about going. It really isn't his thing, but he made sure the kids had fun. I loved it! We haven't been in a couple of years since we were off the mainland. I thought it was alot better than it has been in the years past. Our favorite was the motorycle guys in the cage! Super cool!
