Carlsbad Trip

As always, we had a fabulous time in Carlsbad with our Williams family (my mom's side).

Luckily we had TWO weeks there this year!  I think my boys were hoping we'd be moving in there :) 

Each morning we would wake up, be lazy, watching cartoons in our beds and eating.  Then we would go swim for a bit, come back for naps, then go back to the beach.  

The boys had a great time with all the fun cousins, who made for great slaves. 

We can't wait for next year!

Ryker Grows Up

I can't believe my baby is three years old!!

It feels like he has been with us forever, but he will always be my baby :)

Mommy loves Ryker :)

Just Keep Swimming!

It has been more than a little crazy around here lately.  I made the decision to up my hours at Hair School from 25 per week to 40, and attempt to finish a little faster.  We had finally mastered the original schedule so we figured why not shake it up a little, right? :)

Things have finally gotten back to our new normal, but I do apologize to those I may have been distant from, or maybe been acting strange.  In a lot of ways I feel like I haven't been much of myself through the whole process, but I am feeling much better lately.

The boys started their new preschool, which they seem to really like, Ryker especially.  I miss them when they are gone, but it is nice to not have to worry about a babysitter on those days!

Chad's Party

About a month ago, we went up to the Bay for my brother-in-law's big birthday party.  There was a live band, a great outdoor setting, and lots of good company.  The best part was seeing Chad have such an amazing time, and all of his friends staying on the dance floor the entire time.

Party people!
