New Hair Cut

So, a couple of weeks ago I decided to chop my hair off. Yes, even shorter than it already was. When Trevor got home, he was definitely shocked. He said he liked it, and we went out on a date. However, the next day after I had washed it and done it my way, he commented that he liked it a lot better now. I asked him what he meant, and he told me that the first time he saw it, it kind of looked like I was wearing a helmet! And he let me go out like that! Anyway, it always looks better when you do it yourself. So, here is a picture of my new haircut. It's not the best picture, but it's the best one I have. Also, it had been raining, but you'll get the general idea.

Time to Catch Up

OK, so I have been a serious slacker as far as blogging goes. I always check everyone's blogs, but I never update mine. Boston turns into quite the beast when I get on the computer and the computer is in his room, so I can't blog while he naps. It's like the perfect storm to create zero blogging. Anyway, life is great. We are getting back in the swing of things now that school has started again. We had a great summer. The kids and I spent 3 weeks in Utah playing with the family. We did a lot of fun things while we were there. We spent 1 week at Bear Lake, we went to the redneck water slide (what a blast!), we went to the pool and we spent a lot of time playing in Nana's backyard. It was so nice to be able to spend time with everyone. We were all very ready to come home and exhausted by the end of the 3 weeks. Since getting back, we've been pretty low key. We have been to Ballard Locks (one of our favorite places to go), a Mariners game (we lost big time), and to several of the fun parks close to our apartment. The girls also participated in swim lessons every day for 4 weeks. I was definitely exhausted by the time they were over. All in all, we had a wonderful summer and were sad to see it end. Here are a few pics from all of our many adventures.

A New School Year

Today is the start of a new school year for us. Lorin is now a 2nd grader! I can't believe it. This year she will be in a 2nd/3rd grade split class. She's a little bit nervous about it, but she will do great! Taigan will be staying home with me and Boston this year. Preschool is just way too expensive up here. So, we will be doing preschool together. She's very excited for this. I hope that I can come up with some fun things for us to do. Boston is doing great. He's walking more and more each day. It won't be long before he is walking all over the house. Trevor and I are doing good. We're both staying plenty busy, which is better than being bored. Hopefully I'll get better at posting more regularly, but I won't hold my breath. I hope everyone is doing well.
