BANGS!
20 years ago (I must have been 3 at the time) I grew my bangs out. For the past 5 years I've toyed with the idea of cutting them...that is until the scissors are firmly grasped in the hands of my hair stylist. Contrary to what most believe...I'm low maintenance - bangs are more work than I was willing to give. But this time I did it...and I love it. Yes, more work but worth it...my husband thinks he's sleeping with a new woman.
Vegas Girl's Trip...don't let the title fool you.
The beach area at the Tahitian Village Resort was amazing.
shopping and girls go hand in hand.
Ireland, Ellie, Sheridan, Olivia.
This spring the girls and I went with 3 of my girlfriends and their kids to Las Vegas. Not exactly the kind of 'girls trip' I look forward to. Surprisingly, we had a great time. We did a lot of shopping, eating out and pool time. And that's about all it takes to make me a happy vacationing girl.

The trip downer was that while there the most famous Las Vegas comedian, Danny Ganz, passed away in his sleep. Very tragic.
Our brush with fame was seeing Flava-Flav (high as a kite) with his signature 10" clock around his neck. We attempted but in the end missed this photo opp.

WICKED!
Part of our Christmas was tickets to WICKED. We had to wait 4 very long months for the actual show. SO worth it... BEYOND amazing. And Ga-linda was the bomb! We wish we could do it all over again...all except Sheridan...who, when everyone laughed, said 'I don't get it'. And that pretty much ruined the show for her.

The Mayercraft Carrier II
John Mayer - he's my favorite (besides Chris, of course!)
Last year I was on the Mayercraft with John. It was so much fun I could not miss another year. Last year I sailed with girlfriends, this year I took Chris and a bunch of other couples. We had such an amazing time they are all game for next year. I'm already counting down the days.
Southern Cal with the Carters
At Seal Beach
We stayed at the Welk Resort, as in Lawrence Welk. Sounds cheesy, I know, but it was a really great resort especially for the kids. The kids said the water slide was better than any other place we've stayed.
One night at the Welk Resort we saw a comedian & magic show. ( This is the magicians assistant teaching the girls magic tricks.) The comedian was hilarious. He did a great show and kept it very clean. However, Sheridan didn't get ANY of the jokes. She was bored and would duck over to tell me so. In the process she became part of the comedians show and she had no clue that he was talking about her.

Seaworld 2009
Shamu or one of his/her off-spring.
Soaking wet after coming down the Atlantis Ride. We vacationed with some family friends, the Carters. We took their youngest, Keaton, with us to Seaworld.
We love Southern Cal. Took the girls on our first trip to Seaworld. Touching the stingrays and star fish were the greatest. The kids loved the seal show. They were hoping for more rides. I had to remind them 'It's Seaworld! They don't have roller coasters at the bottom of the ocean!'

Wow!
This years Reflections theme (a statewide elementary arts program) was Wow!
Ireland (literally, last minute) entered her first pottery project - an Owl tea light candle holder- and called her entry: 'Wow it's an Owl'. She ended up winning 3 levels of awards and was the only student from Draper Elementary that went on to State Reflections. We have yet to hear from the State level.
