A vacation was needed. All this wedding stuff makes me want to take a nap in the Mountains. Dada gave me the mission of find low-cost lodging.... hehehe, big mistake. Here is our lovely diggs as we arrived for our overnight stay.

Ray has informed me that he will now be making all of our accommodations by tent, on the ground, in our backyard. :)
We were there anyways let's enjoy the sites!
Cathedral Ledge

Lunch at a train stop. Thomas the tank had come for a visit, we really wished Brandon could come visit for the day to check'm out!

And swimming in the pool!

No more vacation until the Vineyard in September!

Jim as in Carey

With ferocious 90-degree days upon us Maddy has taken well to the heat. Her mother has not.
I doing my mommy do-diligence assumed she must be hot too. I would pick her up from preschool and find her hair smacked against her forehead, all hardened and grimey... obviously from sweat, not her classmates lunch of the day. Last night I decided she needed a bang trim. Since I specialize in children's hair, (not) I took the kitchen scissors and went to work on her soft baby ringlets. She pushed, I pulled, she squirmed, I cut...

I swore I would not do this to my young. Yet, here we are.
A before picture, just for reference.

And a bonus of Daddy looking very adorable!

I promise I will try to never cut her hair again.

The Fourth...errr... The Eighth :)

What kind of mommy makes you take a picture when you are sad?
This kind!

I had make-up on... the picture needed to be taken NOW. :)
Maddy walking with her dada.

Guess what kind of dad draws pretend mustaches on their little girl's face?
This kind!

And lastly, a quick look at Papa's garden! It produces VERY yummy salad.
