OMG!! What!! Hide the scissors!

So last night before bed Savannah crawled into our bed to say good night. I noticed that her head band was off and her hair felt a little funny in the front. All that day I kept finding wisps of hair on the floor so I knew she had cut some off the back. I was ok with that but told her no more. Well, come to find out this morning she cut some bangs too somehow sometime yesterday!

Check out how much she cut! wimper wimper..;(

I later found all the locks in the trash this morning...
Isn't it a nice do right before her big 4th birthday party this Saturday??! Ugh..haha!

Camping trip to Lake McClure w/friends

Look at the smoke in the distance..It got really smokey several times. We even saw the amber light right over the hills from the wildfires burning. Check out the low water too due to the fires.

We love the Aquatic Center!!

There is Jasmine, Johnny and Savannah

We had so much fun at the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center! It is so great for the little ones too because it has a really shallow wading pool with slides and water shooting up everywhere and a water shooting up out of the ground zone, and another warmer deeper pool. Oh and also 2 huge big kid slides and a snack bar to boot. Didn't have a chance to take many pics since we were all so busy with the kids. We invited Cousin Colven too along with some other friends. I wish I got a pic of Malia sitting in the water. She loved splashing around. Oh and it was so funny - I had her in the life vest in the deep pool while Savannah and Colven were jumping off the edge of the pool( Savannah was getting her courage from her 2 yr old cousin-haha) with aunt Erin. Malia was falling asleep in the pool while I was holding her getting splashed in the face and everything. Awwh here is Malia wearing Savannah's swimsuit. I have such sweet memories of when Savannah was the same age and we used to come to this same pool too.

Look at Lucy

Look at Lucy! She is the best dog for us. She is such a patient, tolerant and lovable dog. Savannah dresses her up, carts her around in the child size grocerey cart and makes Lucy wait while she gathers more stuff to put in the cart. I tell ya, Lucy is the best. Look at her patient face..haha. We do have our days though where Savannah wants to do too much for Lucy and I feel sorry for Luce having to put up with an almost 4 yr old all the time. We do have our talks about giving space, treating with respect and recognizing living creature's have their own will though. Aren't they cute together!? These are memories to last.

Rose picture series -Abraham Darby

This rose has been my favorite for 10yrs now. She ( since I think roses are gals or at least this one is) smells divine and looks rich and complex...the very essence of femininity.

Rose picture series Bolero

Here are some beautiful rose pics.

Roses are about the only thing I have growing so as far as pics of anything growing..this is it.

In love with roses

I had forgotten how much I love roses in the spring/summer. After 4 yrs of not noticing them and yrs of neglect I am surprise that some of them lived. The ones I carted from house to house and has survived 8 plus yrs. Now my passion for them is back. ( I can't believe that I had forgotten this or lost it or..? interesting)


Oooh Abraham..
Golden Celebration is such a trooper. He was totally neglected and didn't hardly even get pruned this yr as I did it so late in the spring and hacked him..oops. Anyhow he still puts out a ton of blooms. He reminds me of a chandelier.

Check out how big this bloom is. Almost as big as Savannah's head-hee hee.
