Girls Day Out

Forget lunch, shopping, and pedicures. The babies had something else in mind. And as you can see, they were pretty stoked about it.

I'm pretty sure she weighs a hundred pounds. We had a little picnic on a big rock in the river. It involved a lot of baby food. Some diaper changing. And the moms sharing a PB&J. We do it classy. We made it to the waterfall this year. Last year, not so much. We were pregnant. And no, my arm is not really that big. It's an optical illusion.
The leaning over one side was not helping my comfort level.
Nothin' like takin a snooze in the middle of the hike. That's just how B rolls.
And we even had enough gas to get home! Although I would have loved to get stuck in the wilderness for hours with two high maintenance chicks and an empty bottle of formula! Next year check the gas light C! And maybe we'll even have some more little dudes to bring along. A Kelty Kids Pack in the back, a Bjorn in the front. I could totally do it.

Something's Missing Here

Hmmm . . . maybe the pool? But it looks like she's having a great time without it!

Seriously Mom? I'm not a boy!
Get this off of me!!!

Whatever. I'm over it.

E-Basics 101

So you want to know what the biggest reaction to any of my blog postings has been?? - "Hey, I didn't know you liked Country music!??" Apparently people don't know anything about me. I'm not really one to talk about myself a lot and I'm usually too lazy to do anything but post pictures. So I thought I would fill you in with a little "Things you might not know" list. Warning: this could be boring and there will be no pictures so you may want to stop reading here..... but for all the rest of you house wives with nothing else to do during nap time, here goes:

1) Yes, I do like Country music. Specifically Tim Mcgraw. But now I have 2 pre-set stations of it in the car and Zac Brown Band is my favorite Pandora station.

2) I have held numerous random jobs throughout my life starting with 3 paper routes, cabinet-maker, smooothie maker, lifeguard and credit card sales. Yes, i'm that guy - want a free T-shirt? Moving on to cashier, ice cream scooper, time share sales (at a ski resort, free season pass anyone?), secretary, accountant for a trucking company, accountant for an airline (best 9 months ever), and auditor of California's world-class government! Oh and to end it off with a bang - SAHM!

3) I like sports not crafts. Mostly cuz I suck at them. Crafts, not sports, that is. Sorry Ashley, but let's still go hiking.

4) Favorite place in the world, besides Laie, is Lake Pizzzowell. Krissy, still waiting for an invite.

5) Only a few people know this and it is slightly embarassing but my favorite movies are Braveheart and Twister. I can quote both full length features and definitely was going to be a storm chaser or meteorologist until I somehow became an accountant.

6) My other favorite music would have to include Guns N' Roses, ACDC, Jack Johnson, Coldplay, Yanni, AFI, Justin Timberlake, Bob Marley, The Doors, Sublime, RHCP, U2, Radiohead, Death Cab, and Pinback. Can it get any more random?

7) I may or may not have been Student Body Vice President in high school. Which mostly means I wasn't cool enough or coordinated enough to be a cheerleader.

8) Oh yeah, I lived in Hawaii and still live there in my mind and if you don't know that you probably don't know me at all.

9) I used to be a skater. Yes, I can drop in and no, I wasn't a poser. Ok, kind of. But I had some awesome black clothes and purple glitter eyeshadow. Dont' hate.

10) Seriously people? I can't think of anything else. So hopefully you are a little enlightened!

What do you expect?

This is the only thing I have on my agenda for the next 3 months!
