Morro Bay and Salt Water Taffy

   We took a drive to Morro Bay last week since it was beautiful day, no school for the kids, and simply to get out of the house. I hadn't been there for years, and now that we live where we live its nice because its really the closest beach/ocean to us. Enjoy the pics!

 Royal and her spatula, inseparable.

 The smoke stacks.

 The Bay.

 Oh, and yumm...Salt Water Taffy! Need I say more?! Probably the entire point of even coming to Morro Bay, lol!

 I think I need to go back for some more!

 A random pic of honey, I was scoping out a location for a photog session and she was my model!

Holy Elephant Seals!

We decided to have a family outting on MLK holiday and visit Cambria to see the Elephant Seals. It was a perfect afternoon, lovely weather, my mother was visiting, yada, yada, yada... Half way on hwy 46 Royal starts crying, I swear she's having flash backs of our trip to Texas, she is really upset. We actually pull off the road and take her out. Poor baby, is just not having any fun, and neither are we yet. So we finish our drive and find out that everyone and their cousins are checking out the elephant seals too. Its cool, we find a parking space, Mason and Honey get a kick out of them and their funny sounds and cute little babies. We head back, stop at a beautiful view, snap a pic, get almost home. Royal pukes all over the herself, carseat, and car. Oranges, strawberries, and rice snacks, yummy. That was fun.
And I'm asking myself..."Why do I even try?"


It's sometimes nice to hear the true story behind all the pretty pictures, and realize that everybody has an "off" day and no family is perfect, even if they look like it.

The beach was infested with Elephant Seals, I really can't believe how many there were.

Larry thinks he looks mad in every picture he is in...I think he is right. Try smiling next time sweet heart.

We stopped by the pier on the way home and went into a little nature info house they had there, as you can see I can't remember the name of it. But you got to try on head phones to hear the sounds the elepant seals made. 

The pier.

 My little tree hugger.

Here is the beautiful view I made Larry stop at for me, he was so nice about it, and even took my pic. 

I live here...are you jealous yet? It really doesn't get any more beautiful, does it.

I had to post a few of these...Mason looking too cool, and some of my sleeping one year old. I haven't gotten any of her sleeping because it is such precious time to me, I really don't like to waste it, lol!

Enjoy our "perfect family" pics! LOL!

Hair be gone!

I have always had long hair, even as a kid I had long hair. Just before I got pregnant with Mason, I got a perm....yeah, you read right, a nasty perm. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway, I let it grow out and when Mason was about 5 months, I cut the perm out of my hair, leaving me with "short" hair. I hated it! And swore I would never cut it again...


...7 years later. It was getting unmanageable and I couldn't get it to do anything I wanted it to do. So I decided that since I had enough hair I would donate it. I found a donation through Pantene...since "Locks for Love" gets an over abundance of hair, and will be sending on where my hair will help make a wig for cancer patients going through chemotherapy. Its a win, win. I get to help a good cause and look fabulous at the same time. 


I am guessing but I think I lost at least 10 lbs when he cut my hair...it was about 17 inches that was cut off. CRAZY....and gross!!
It feels great and I really like the new look, and that is the point...right!!
