All natural

An ode to blonde:
It was great looking like I was someone who surfed and laid out on the beach.
It was great looking like my I.Q. wasn't that high.
It was great being the brunt of any blonde joke imaginable.
It was great paying money to disguise my gray (yep, 25 and a little gray).
Finally, it was great looking great!

Now it is time to move on and accept my natural self. I cut off all my blonde and hopefully now I can grow out my hair and sell it:-) I love having short hair for the summer! It it so much cooler.

Other things happening: Annalisa is sleeping through the night and being such a good baby. Ethan is learning his colors and growing more teeth. Cory likes his job downtown and actually enjoys the down time he gets on the bus to sleep and read. Oh-and I have found my true calling...being a drummer! I played Rock Band with some friends the other night for the first time and I love to drum! If only I had a set of my own...

My friend Sarah had to thin it quite a bit- apparently I have the hair of a lion...

She loves playing with her tongue.

Great website to discuss...

So I just started using this website called ExpoTV and I have decided already that I love it. It's a website where people can post video reviews of products they have bought. Now, I like reading written reviews before I buy anything major and this is one step further- now I can see the actual product on camera and hear what people have to say.

Another great thing- I can review my own products! I definitely have my opinions when it comes to things that I have purchased and so this is a good outlet for me. Also, I get paid for doing it! Anyway, if you would like to join to see reviews or post some of your own, it's free and easy. Just click on this link so that I get a lot of referrals:-)

A wedding and a blessing

We had such a great time visiting Utah last week. We were able to spend some time with my family because my sister Julie got married. We decided to bless Annalisa while we were there and it was so nice to be able to have our family attend. We had such a good time watching Wipeout in the backyard, playing Bocce ball, and talking about Camille's new hairdo:-)

Then it was off to St. George for a few days with Cory's family and our friends Jeff and Whitney. We went swimming, got to see Wolverine, and eat some sweet barbecue.

As for now, Cory has started working for the Attorney General in L.A. and researching a few projects. I am still adjusting to life with two kids and trying to find ways to make ends meet. Here are some pictures of the Utah trip.
