For the girls' co-op school that we do, we have a public blog that occasionally people post pictures on of what the different classes have been doing. There's a few of the girls in case anyone wants to see it:

Ahhh....Indian Summer

I took these shots the beginning of October, it was early evening and the sun was amazing! I love the one of Alex and Sasquatch. I miss those warm Indian summer days.

He knows if you've been naughty or nice....

When I got onto the computer last night, this is what I found:

I guess Cameron is having some doubts as to whether he's on the naughty list or not. And why does my 8-yr old know how to do a Google search?

I'm a Brunette!

I decided to take the plunge: I went from "dirty dishwater" (great descriptive by Brooke) to medium-light brown, with a few light brown highlights. It's actually very close to my natural color, with a little more actual color in it. When it grows out, I shouldn't have huge-contrasting roots, which is one thing I was trying to get rid of. I did this all at home, from a box! Including the highlights!

I did "before" and "after" shots, in true TV-fashion:

(just in case it's not obvious: the bandage is a joke....)

Pumpkin to Pie!!

I Have turned THIS:

Into THIS!!

I love to see the temple...and Em and Brett on Skype

My laptop crashed a few weeks ago. Aparently it was an issue with the motherboard...sounds pretty serious huh? It wouldn't have been worth it to fix it. I bought a new computer- I decided to get a desktop. Here's a picture of it while I was talking to Em and Brett.

We went to temple square last week to look at the lights. It is so pretty and brings lots of people to see the lights every night.


While we were walking to temple square I ran into my old BYU roommate Jessica and her husband. While we were talking our other roommate Amanda and her husband walked by...Crazy! It was a fun little reunion.

Choo Choo!!

Over Thanksgiving we went on Amtrack from Martinez to Old Town Sacramento with Mom, Dad and Travis. We had a great time. Alex was so cute on the train, he was loving the ride. The museum is reall awesome. It was fun to walk through the old trains and see their sleeping quarters, dining cars and the kitchens. There were train enthusiasts with their tables set up and trains running around, all decked out for the holidays. We walked around the cute 'town' and saw some cute shops. Of course the favorites were the candy store and the fudge. We also got to watch them make salt water taffy on an old machine. We had a great time, thanks mom and dad!
