Heaven is Here

We just returned from vacation.  The beach was amazingly wonderful, again.  Never disappointing, ever.  It could not have been a better trip- every single minute I tried to savor.  It was blissful and I do believe it is a heavenly place. See for yourself:

If only we could have stayed longer...but getting back to normal life again is good- looking forward to the summer- great times!! Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't thank my mom for her amazing devotion to our family- our vacation would not have been nearly as wonderful or possible without her.  I love you, Mom! 

Brown to Blonde

No, not me!! The boy wanted it done before the beach.  He watched a show where the guy had his hair bleached totally blonde, and thought that would be fun. Well, because I am a good mom, and he is such a good son, I thought, what the heck? We are headed to the beach soon, so why not? It will grow out- and he will see how not so fun that part is!!
So...here is the before:

He LOVES it- that is what matters, right?!

Quack, Quack

Leah's first year of softball has started!! She is part of the Oregon Ducks team! She really does not like the color of the shirt or the name, and can you blame her?!!
Pictures were yesterday- 

We are looking forward to her "quacking" all the way around the bases!! Should be a fun season!
