no longer a blonde!

So I have been wanting to go back to my natural color for awhile but get a little nervous because with each kid it seems to get darker. But I finally took the plunge and I actually really like it. It's nice to have a change and since I am not ready to cut it yet, adding a new color will really give me a new look.

Before

After

Ryan has himself a new wife(I like to spice things up a little bit)

Karate 101

Brendan has started Karate and he is loving it. It is so good for him to have to OBEY the master. It was so cute the first time he got the outfit on and started pushing away. He is in a class with about eight other kids but he really is having fun with this. I do feel like I am running everywhere once the kids get out of school, going from dance to karate to piano to play dates, but I guess that is what we moms are suppose to do! At least they are having some fun!
So news about the house! We have decided to not head to Farmington. I can't tell you how HAPPY my mom and sister are, sorry Tamra! We have really been talking about the commute Ryan would have to be making everyday to work and in six months he will be moving the dealership further south which would then add even more time, he is away enough as it is so we new this would be the best thing for our family to not head the opposite direction of his work. We really are sad because we really LOVED this house. I know something else will work out but for now the looking starts all over.

Happy Birthday

I can't believe our Little girl is ONE! This last year has gone by so fast. Over labor day I was thinking how we had spent it last year, in the hospital. And now here she is celebrating her first birthday. We had family over and had a BBQ in the back yard, this is the first birthday party I can through and have it be out side. Mckaela and Brendan are both winter babies. We had a lot of fun sharing this day with her. For those of you who live in Cali, I have posted a lot of pictures so you feel like you were here. We miss you! The birthday girl.

Here are a few snap shots over this last year.
