My Hair

Well I did it I dyed my own hair. I went all out with really blonde. When moving almost two years ago. I decided to go more natural with my hair. I wanted to blend in with the other mom's I told my friend and hair stylist. I decided I can go all out now as I am not working and I am a college student. Good times for me. Lately I am doing whatever I want!

Fun Day, All Day

On Sunday my sister Vanessa and her daughter Alex came to visit. We started out with shopping and lunch, of course. We headed home for a break Kylee took a nap, Alex and Chenoa got to play, and my sister and I had girl talk time. After Kylee woke up we headed for snack at our favorite frozen yogurt shop followed by playing at the park. We brought Kylee at home and took the girls out for Madagascar 2 in the Imax theater. Wow that was my first time watching Imax what an experience. I am pretty sure I laughed through the whole movie, it was hilarious!

A Good Cause

Last week I researched a persuasion speech on spanking. I was shocked with my findings. I assumed this was something of the past an old school method. There are so many new ways of discipline in the world I assumed parents ran right out and bought a book to figure out what to do. No I found it's not in the decline. I also was sad to see mostly 1-3 year old children were spanked. My oldest is 6 and she is known to be very well behaved. I've never needed to hit her for any reason. Please break the cycle and support any laws coming your way. We have saved many lives from shaken baby syndrome. 1000's of children die every year from corporal punishment along with many seriously injured for life. Is the right to hit children really worth all the lives we can save?

Please educate yourself before you decide to use spanking:

Date Day

One of Marc's birthday presents was a whole day with me. We had a lot of fun in the city. The International Auto Show was a blast. We spent spent so much time looking at the cars we lost track of time. It flew by!! We then headed to a nice restaurant to use our 100 dollar gift certificate that Marc won in a car show. We enjoyed every course because we had to spend all of our money. It was great:) Because we had to have a whole day experience we finished it off with James Bond. I had a great day. Although by the end I felt a little anxious to see my girls. That's a long day without my princesses! That was a great birthday present for Marc. It was also pretty great for me!!

Shopping Trip

Saturday the girls and I headed to San Jose. Shelley is taking care of Keiko the puppy. My original plan was to have Kylee take her nap and I could give Shelley her massage I have been promising her. Then we could go to Santana Row to hang out. Of course most parents understand children don't always go according to plans. I didn't know it at the time but Kylee was teething more than usual she couldn't sleep. Kylee skipped nap. So we headed off to Santana Row. Our most successful trip here since Kylee has been born. The girls were happy to be able to run around the christmas tree. Pictures will be coming soon... my sister has my camera:)

Marc's Lucky 28th!

Today we had a a birthday party for Marc. I decided to make it a surprise. Then Marc wouldn't have to plan anything! Believe it or not this picture is him being surprised. Chenoa and I made a fun cake. Which was a homemade banana chocolate chip cake. Chenoa and I put lot's of love into that cake. It was rewarding to finally serve it to everyone. After having cake. We then went out to dinner. I chose a Mexican food restaurant because Marc loves Mexican food. We had fun.. And most important Marc loved it:)

Chenoa is Awarded For Being A Caring Person

Today was the day of Chenoa's award ceremony at school. Chenoa's school presented her with an award for caring. The classes met in the lunchroom for an assembely. All of the proud parents sat in the back. I had no idea schools did these award ceremony's. What a great idea for positive reinforcement. I am so happy that people recognize Chenoa as the nice, sweet, and caring girl she is. She was so excited to receive this award!
