Very late Easter pics

Easter kind of snuck up on me and was gone before I knew it! I can't belive it is April! So here are the very late Easter pictures. I am not sure what is up with Gracie's expression, she does this whenever I take a picture, now. I call it "scary Gracie"

More surf camp favorites...

I love the beach in the morning. It is so peaceful.(well, when Grace isn't screaming that there is sand in her shoes!)

Cameron is loving surf camp. This might be his "thing". It seems to calm him. My sister asked if it was too cold for surf camp. Well, actually, yes! It was 50 degrees outside and the water is 54 degrees! That is why he has 2 wetsuits on! Meanwhile, Gracie and I sit on the beach and freeze...But it really isn't all that much warmer at the beaches here in the summer. The water might warm up a little bit, but with the fog and wind, the temperature outside might only be 62 degrees. In July! So I guess if he really loves this we will have to stock up on sweat shirts...

Will she be a ballerina, or tattoo artist?

only time will tell...

Lucky 13...

For our anniversary I got a new wedding band. Why? because I lost mine. again. I blame Gracie this time. But this is the 3rd wedding band I had. I lost it on the day we were married and got married with my SIL's band. We found it later. It seems fitting to loose another one on our 13th anniversary...

baseball

Cameron has started baseball and loves it! The pictures are not great. I forgot my camera, so they were taken with my cell phone. I also went to the Scrapbook expo this weekend and it was so fun! Made some cool projects. I'll try and get some pictures of them.

After the game

Me and Cinderella, we are so much alike...

There has been a lot of princess talk around here, lately. I cleaned out the closet and put all of my dressy shoes in a bin under the bed. Gracie was looking for them and she said "Mom, where's your shoes"? I asked which shoes. She said "the ones you wear to the ball!".
Yesterday she says "I am going to be a princess when I grow up"
I replied"You know, that doesn't pay very well, you might need a back up plan".
Her-blank stare

Princess Wishes...

Well, after hearing about it from everyone and having Grace ask me every.single.time. she saw the commercial, when we were going, we went. It was very cute. well, except for the part where every princesses dream was to get a prince and then they do (gag). But it was still well done.

Pretty Paper Purses

I haven't done much crafting lately, so I started this project. It was a kit and you just fold, glue and embellish them. I am going to put candy in them for the teachers at school. Gracie has been very busy making her own purses! That is what we do while Cameron plays the Wii. Is there a 12 step program for the Wii? Seriously.

We have rats!

Well, they are visiting for the weekend, anyway...



Sometimes I feel like I am doing this...

Minus 10 lbs...

I was down 11, but then I gained 4 on our vacation. How is it that you can gain 4 lbs in a week, but it takes 3 weeks to take it off? Anyway, I am getting kind of bored with my eating habits. I need more creative health eating ideas...I could also write a book about cheating on weight watchers and still losing weight. Like not eating lunch and having two ice cream sandwiches for dinner and not going over your points. Those kinds of things...

I couldn't take it anymore...

I had her bangs cut. Yes, it has only been two months, but I am impatient that way! So here is before and after:

It seems that the sickness in the house has left no one untouched...

Dora has the Chicken Pox. Yes, that is permanent marker...

My new obsession, I mean, toy.

It is a BlackJack 2. I can now send and recive e mail anywhere! And read blogs, too! Scott calls it my "precious" because I haven't put it down since I got it. I really wanted an iphone, but I am prety happy with this...

Princesses

I'm a little behind...Disney pictures coming...

Having a great time!

Why I don't get my haircut very often...

They always, always, always, cut off more than I ask them to! I am trying to grow it out and grow out my bangs, Gracie's too, any advice? It is in her face all the time! I have tried clips, mousse, pony tail holders...it won't stay to the side! Help! But back to my hair. one of the problems could be that I go to the same place as the kids and pay like $18.00. So here I sit with my "chin length" hair! (what does "I'm trying to grow it out" mean to you?) Then there are the stupid comments.
Her-"That's your daughter?"
Me-"yes"
her-"she don't look like you"
Me-"No, she was adopted"
Her-"You don't want you own kids?"
Me-"Ummm, they are my own kids. I have one biological and one adopted"
Her-"Oh, you have one of your own. Why didn't you try for another?"
Me-"Ummm, I did. I adopted her
ARRGG!
I need a new haircut place.
