ASHLYNN'S NEW DO

Ash has been wanting to cut her hair and I kept telling her "no." Finally I said "okay" but I won't do it. So her cousin Jess did and it looks amazing--I love it. I about freaked out when she did the first cut (she cut off like 12 inches). But Ashlynn loves it and got a lot of compliments on it today.

Maybe someday I can be an amazing stylist like Jess!!

OUR FABULOUS CRUISE!!

We had a great time on our cruise. I wish we could have gotten off in Ensenada Mexico, but no cruises were stopping at any Mexican ports because of the Swine Flu. So we just had another "fun day at sea". We did stop at Catalina which was nice, but very expensive and there wasn't that much to see. We did find time to eat PLENTY of food. I know why they have ramps leading off the ship--it is to roll you off.

It was so nice to get away and just relax. We are already thinking of our next cruise--Alaska!!!

It was pretty cold on the boat and our cabin didn't have a heater?? I guess we will have to splurge next time and go for that upgrade. I did pretty well not getting sunburned (it helped that I had my jacket on the whole time) but I did manage to get pretty well fried in two spots---my ankles and lips???!!! I woke up Thursday and felt like Bubba from Forest Gump. I already have big lips to begin with and after they were burned--wow, it looked like a lip injection gone wrong.

The girls had fun staying with their friends and it was nice knowing they were having a good time as well.

SHE WON!!

Just an update to let you know that Ashlynn won SophOmore class secretary. She is really excited and we are proud of her.
