You'll never believe it...

No, I'm not pregnant.


It's the COOLEST news ever...






I'm SO, SO, SO excited...






I AM GOING TO NEW YORK- AGAIN!!!!


WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY!!! Adults only :)


It feels very unreal. Cause you know, I like that place a little bit. A lot. I'm not sure how it came about. I think its because I am very persuasive and an incredible travel agent. But somehow we got it all planned where everyone can go between school and jobs etc. We are going September 4-8th. WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!! We are gonna PARTY!!! This will be my 3rd time THIS YEAR! I'm such a LUCKY, LUCKY (spoiled) girl! And I am taking lots of pictures this time!

Does anyone want to go? And if not, does anyone want to babysit?:)

Surf's up!

Last week we went on our annual trip to San Diego, CA with the Allen Family. We had lots of fun and lots of sun! Michael surfed every morning for about 3 hours- which of course is not enough! He got barreled for the first time which is totally gnarly. The kids spent lots of time on the beach boogie boarding and building sand castles and jumping the waves- or running from the waves in Samantha's case. I spent less time at the beach and more time shopping and reading while Samantha napped- and napping myself. I really do like the beach- I think. I like the idea of it, I like the sound of the waves. I like to sit on the beach peacefully reading. But I really don't like to be Sandy. I know, lots of sand there and my kids enjoy covering me with it one way or another. I really don't like to be in the sun too much either. Gives me a headache. And I really don't like to get in the water. Its COLD and there are STRANGE things in there. Ha! So I'm not too fun at the beach. Luckily the kids had a great time with the rest of the family! We had more then a few bee stings and a sting ray casualty, but other then that, fun times! Here are some ( a lot) of pics. Sorry, their are a few too many family pics in there but I am too lazy to go back and take them out!
