Carmel By the Sea

I am in love with Carmel. Last night we took our friends Dell, Janet, and Matt Trip to Carmel for dinner for Matt's birthday (and Max, our baby, of course). Matt just turned 22 so we went to celebrate his birthday. His older brother Jason is one of Aaron's coaches and Matt has helped out alot with CityBeach the past two summers being an assistant coach. They are from Dallas Texas and are just great guys.

I have alot of pictures that I want to post on here, but for some reason I am having a hard time posting more than one at a time. What's up with that! I will try again after this post.

The weather was so refreshing there last night, especially coming from the inlands where we have had so many heat waves, it was so good for a change. It was foggy and misty and magical.

One day Aaron and I will live here or atleast have a beach house here. We hope.

What's it gonna be?

For all of you who are wondering what we are having, we still aren't sure. Baby bobby or baby sue will be determined on July 15th, so a couple more weeks.....We can't wait!!

Our Baby!!

I have been meaning to scan this image earlier and put it on our blog. This was taken about a month ago, so our baby is much bigger now. We are looking forward to our next visit in a week to see our doctor, we will find out what we are having!! Look at the little arms and legs and face! The baby was moving around so much during the last visit. It was very cute. Well, we will keep you all posted on the exciting news next week!

Doritos are cool....

Who loves Cool Ranch Doritos?! In Iceland they are called Cool American. I think I want to take a trip to Iceland now...

Camping on Mount Madonna

We went through a heat spell a couple of weeks ago up here. It reached 102 degrees two of the days. So we decided to go camping with some friends, Dell and Janet. Janet and I drove up later since we are working women with husbands that don't work. Just kidding. But it was so nice, because when we got up there, our tents were up, everything was set up, and dinner was ready! It was perfect!
Burnt Corn, yuck! It actually was great eating around the burnt parts.
Happy Dana, Grumpy Aaron....

Mom's Day

I know its a day late, but I had this image saved on my work computer and realy wanted to post it for Mothers Day.
I love you MOM!

Day at the Dog Park

On my day off last Friday, I took Max to a new dog park that I found in Mountain View. When we first got there, we went into the large dog area since there weren't any smaller dogs in the small dog area. So here is Max checking the place out, not sure of the whole thing...
After watching the big dogs run around for awhile, Max decided to lay down in his favorite position...
Finally Max decided to play around with the big dogs and not be shy, as soon as he saw them chasing balls, he was all over that. The big dogs all decided it was fun to chase Max...
This is Max at my work resting his chin on one of his favorite "babies"

Okay I will participate this time...

Hi Jenni....

I think I am going to get this oversized cat poster and give it to Jenni. Actually I think she would play punch face with it and it would probably be torn into shreds in ten minutes.

Missing Earplugs

I have to sleep with earplugs because Aaron snores and today after I woke up and got ready for work I went to grab my cellphone and my earplugs were missing from my night stand. Max ate them. We have caught him with an earplug in his mouth before so I know he did it. I hope he doesn't get sick. We will have to hide them from him for now on.

Bump Bump Wobble Wobble...

So, two nights ago I went to bed after Aaron (which is very surprising), and as I crawled into bed and began to feel all snuggled into my blankets, the end of the bed literally started shaking like Max had just jumped on the bed. Aaron woke up saying, "Did you let Max on the bed!?" I said no, so then I proceeded to turn on the light. Of course nothing was there so I turned back off the light and there it was again "bump, bump, wobble, wobble". Of course Aaron went back to sleep instantly and I was horrified the whole night. Let me tell you, we have both noticed this multiple times on our bed starting in the old house. It started with Aaron telling me to stop moving around on the bed in our old place when we would be asleep once in awhile. He would tell me in the morning that I was shaking the bed, but I could never recall doing that. I believed him at first that it was me, but now as we both lie awake together sometimes we will feel it, so we know that it isn't the other person. Unless Aaron is playing a mean joke on me. Its the weirdest thing. You are all probably thinking we are crazy. Its almost like a delayed reaction when we move around then like 3 seconds later the bed will then wobble very subtly. Its very strange. So when this happened two nights ago, I seriously began to feel uneasy and a little scared thinking our bed was haunted or something (which sounds absolutely absurd.) I even started thinking that I was never going to sleep in the bed again when Aaron wasn't there (remember I was half asleep at this point.) Of course when morning came around, I kept thinking about it, wondering what it could be. (I hope you are laughing right now and not scared as you are reading this, because I am laughing.) I wish I were a scientist or really good at physics because it has got to be the way we have our bed set up. Maybe the headboard isn't attached right so it wobbles the bed or maybe it has something to do with having two box spring mattresses with our cal king mattress on top. Does anybody have any ideas? I am open to suggestions. Maybe we should call for ghost busters to come over and take a look!

I think we should look around for some other beds. We both don't need to be bothered by mysterious thumping at night. Wouldn't you agree?

Maybe we should get the floating bed above (you shouldn't feel any shaking with that one or maybe the bed with the mattress shaped as a person sleeping in a fetal position. You wouldn't be able to move so it definitely wouldn't shake...

Anybody is free to come by and test this out if you dare...

A Difference between night and day!

Here was me yesterday with my usual hairstyle ( a boring pony tail)...

Now look at me!! I love that I went back to short hair. It is much easier to manage and it just makes me happy!!

Yes I took all of these pictures myself, I'm kindof a dork, but I wanted you all to see so bad! I had the best compliment today from my coworker.. She said I have a Julie Andrews haircut. Thanks Jessica for the new doo! She's a "hairdresser on fire".
