New Hair Do

So ignoring the fact that I have scary eyes and the picture's too bright you can see I got my hair done. I'm loving it. Which is something new. I can't remember the last time I really got my hair done and liked it so much. I think it'll look cuter after my bangs grow out, but until then I still like it.

Our Month

So let me try my best to some up what's been going on this month. Jason's been here, been gone, been here again, and now gone again. For the next couple months he'll be in Washington taking a class. The boys and me have kept pretty busy. Which is the best thing we'd all be crazy by now if we weren't. We started walking every morning again with one of our friends who has kids the same age as the boys. So they spend every morning together at the park and here at the house playing. We've also been going to the orchard at least once a week to pick peaches, raspberries, or tomatoes. Whichever we feel like eating more that day. The boys usually prefer the peaches and end up eating a whole one in the time it takes to pick a bag full. We've had BBQ's with our neighbors and a birthday party for one of Cameron's favorite neighbor boys. We've been to the movies twice and found out that suckers are the best thing for that. It plugs up the hole :) We've had pool and sprinkler days and picnic parties. Pretty much anything to fill the time so they don't get bored. This week we've already been to the movies and had a picnic party with friends, tomorrow we have play group, on saturday we're going to this really big orchard that has a sunflower maze and corn maze with some of our friends. I think we're just doing the sunflower maze and then probably picking some fruit. The mazes are supposed to be pretty big. It should be interesting. Hopefully I remember my camera. I'm hoping the boys wake up from their naps today in time for me to go over to the school and sign Cameron up for preschool. He's getting so big! So that's been our month in a nutshell. I'm sure I've forgotten lots of things, but I'll just blame that on my pregnancy brain. Speaking of such things. The baby is doing good and although we've had some snags this month things keep turning out fine. Not too much longer now.

Yummy in my Tummy

So this morning we went back to the orchard. We picked peaches, raspberries and yellow and red grape tomatoes. There were so many peaches and tomatoes to pick they were just loaded. Needless to say it didn't take very long. It took more time hiking all over that hill (I'd call it a mountain but those don't really exist here.) The boys loved it. William chowed down on all the raspberries and peaches. All of the trees were so full of peaches it was kind of amazing to me. They taste soooooo good too.I only have about a week and then it's on to Nectarines and Pears too. Yummy!!!

Our Week without Jay

For anyone keeping track, Jason's gone again. I think he only has about a week left and then he'll be home again. Then about a week after that he'll be gone again. You gotta love the military.
This week has been filled with more berry picking, going to the movies and too many doctor visits. Luckily the doctors visits were for me, none for the boys. We went to see Wall-e a few days ago. i'm not sure if the fact that I was there just with the boys changed my opinion of the movie, but I wasn't too impressed. The boys didn't come out of it too excited either so that was kind of a bummer. Berry picking though always seems to be a big hit. Probably because their version involves more eating than saving. We were very successful this time and got a whole pint from just one row. We're going again tomorrow to pick tomatoes, peaches, and yes more raspberries. Yummy...just thinking about it makes me happy. Tomatoes having been one of my number one cravings during this pregnancy and then that whole tomato thing happened so I haven't been buying them. It's been rough :) I might have to go spend some serious money and go buy some avacados so I can eat them together. Man this is making my mouth water. lol. Sorry I sidetracked...back to my week. So i've been to the doctor 4 times this week if you include going to get more blood work done again today. Boy am I excited for that part to be over with. The boys have been so many times with me they finally decided this last time that it wasn't exciting to go with me anymore. So that's been our week in a nutshell. Sorry no pictures. I'll work on it this week.

Beach Trips and Berry Picking

Summer is definately in full swing around here. It's been hot and really humid. YUCK! Besides that though we've found alot to keep us entertained. There's pictures from two different beach trips, you can't really tell it was two different days. One was when Jason was gone and we were with some friends and the other obviously he was with us. Cameron loves the beach. This last time Jason got him to go into some deeper water and was trying to teach him to swim. Surprisingly he didn't get frustrated and he really liked it. The beach for William is a different story. He didn't love it at first but it's been growing on him. By the end of our last trip he was actually walking into the water by himself and really enjoying it. We've also gone berry picking a couple times. I forgot the camera the first time, but today we went with our neighbor Lacy, who Cameron loves, and picked some raspberries. The boys are pros. They were finding some good ones. Next week we're picking peaches. I'm pretty excited about that. I love it that we live so close to the orchards and farms. It's been such a nice treat to have fresh produce.
