93 Degrees

It says on my computer that it is 93 degrees outside!! I am not sure I believe it, but it was an amazingly warm day. We had to spend the morning at the beach--too bad Kya is COMPLETELY terrified of the ocean (I can't really blame her since last time we went she got knocked over and taken under by a huge wave).

This is the closest Kya ever got to the water--the whole 3 hours

It was hard to get a good pic of Tys because he wouldn't stay still (doesn't he look tall??)

I know, I'm a loser

So last night I actually VOTED for an American Idol contestant--more than once. After watching last night's show, I just decided I would be so sad if David Cook went home. I think he should win it.

No Sunscreen--No Problem

Living in Marina/Monterey, I never need to worry about getting a sunburn--well almost never. Today was actually 70 degrees and tomorrow is supposed to be 82!! I went to playgroup today and came home with--that's right--a sunburn. I am so excited. So tomorrow, we are off to the beach; I think we will break out the sunscreen for that.

(Please excuse the cleavage)

Happy Mother's Day

This is what it's all about...

Flashback

I went to the store yesterday to pick up some soda for our "ladie's night" and I saw Cherry 7up. When was the last time you had Cherry 7up?? One drink brought me back to my childhood. We would drive across the border (from Canada to USA) to get Cherry 7up because you couldn't get it in Canada. It's funny how back then, going to "the states" was such a novelty. I think the novelty has worn off, but I will always remember our trips to USA: going to sumas for charleston chews and cherry 7up, stopping at the dairy for the best (and cheapest) ice cream cones ever, going shopping in Lyden or strawberry picking with Grandma Winters, or spending the night at our cabin and then stopping for the yummiest ice cream sundaes on the way home. It's amazing how one drink of pop can bring this all back.

Can You Believe It????

Okay, so Jordan came into my room this morning and said "Mom, the tooth fairy never came last night." The NERVE!! How could the tooth fairy forget my sweet little girl? Poor JoJo. She was so proud because this is the first tooth she pulled out "herself" and it happened at school, so she got to put it in this groovy plastic tooth necklace. Too bad the tooth fairy had to go and mess it all up. Who knows, maybe she'll make up for it and leave MORE money :)

Book Review

There's no question I liked this book--heck, I read it in a week and then NEEDED the second book imediately. Of course, like anything else, there were good and bad. Here are a few of my thoughts:

-Edward must be SO HOT. I can't imagine them EVER doing him justice in the movie. I don't think there was a guy created HOT enough for the picture I have painted in my mind of Edward Cullen (except Mike of course).

-I thought the "love story" was a bit cheesy. Bella wanted to give up her entire life (friends, family, hobbies etc.) to be with Edward. I just think it was a bit much--I guess I am NOT reallly a hopeless romantic.

-The whole idea of vampires was very interesting to me. I loved learning all the information about vampires. Mike and I argue about what a "real" vampire is--he really just makes fun of me for reading books about vampires.

Okay, just a few thoughts...now back to reading...

I HATE it when this happens

This is what Tyson looked like 20 min. before we had to go pick Jordan up from school. What do you do? Sweet Boy.
