Spring Break

We went camping for Spring Break, last week. Talk about FUN! We went hiking everyday, had camp fires every night, and enjoyed our time together. It was so nice to be away from the tv, computers, work, home, etc. We had time to just relax and enjoy our time together.

Here are a few pictures of the gorgeous hiking trails. We really enjoyed hiking everyday, even though we were all sore and tired by the end of the week. :)

The boys really enjoyed fishing. I enjoyed it to, while they were busy fishing, I was sitting next to them, enjoying a good book. Ahh...can we say 'relaxing'.

We got home just in time for Seth to have his first T-Ball practice. Here he is, 'baseball ready'. :) Levi and Seth are playing on the same T-ball team this year. Yea! Stephen is one of the assistant coaches. He is enjoying helping the kids learn the game. He is so good with kids!

hair and injuries....

I finally got my hair done on Sunday afternoon. I've had some major roots going on, and it was past time for a color update. I also had it cut off again, simply because the ends were so dry and brittle and just looked very unhealthy. Plus with my petite frame and features, longer hair just seems to really drag my face down...frankly with me now being just past the 30 mark, I don't need anything that makes me look older...I want to look 'younger', 'cute', 'in-style', etc. So I'm loving my new cut and color!!!

Side view. you can see the color and layers a little better in this photo....

My latest appraisal injury. It's hard to see in this picture. I had a set of attic stairs fall out on me. I tried to defend myself by raising my arm, and that wood scrapped all the way down the back side of my forearm. OUCH! It was bleeding and hurt like crazy. I had to hold a paper towel on it, to get the seeping to stop...this happened on Tuesday, so it's all scabbed over now. can we say 'attractive'. LOL!

Eyes

my eyes are much better today. YEA!!!!!! I'll probably still wear my glass and continue the eye drops for the next few days, just so that it doesn't come back. I'm so THANKFUL that this pink eye stuff is finally gone!

glasses.....

maybe this got me thinking, because I'm stuck in glasses for the next week or so...but still....

I've always thought "the right frames" could really make people look distinguished and intelligent. Yes, I've always hated wearing my glasses for sports and fun, but I never minded if I was wearing them while working at the computer or reading.

After seeing this video, on the part where they interview the men and what they think of women wearing glasses, I was just shocked. My husband actually loves it when I wear my glasses....but these guys said it was the "librarian" look, and made the girl less attractive. What?! So I guess now instead of carrying my "pepper spray" with me, I can just wear my glasses and men will automatically leave me alone! HaHaHa!!!!

Pink Eye Continues....

YUK, YUK, YUK! I hate this stuff.
My left eye is much better today...actually turning back white, all swelling gone, no longer leaking gunk, etc. Yea!!!
However....I woke up this morning with it in my Right eye. Great. Just Great! That's just what I needed. So now my right eye is all swollen, tender to the tough, bright red, leaking yellow goo, and is burning/hurting constantly. Figures.
So, I'm stuck in glasses......who knows for how long. It just better all be gone by Saturday, because my baby boy is having his 5th Birthday party that day. Hard to believe he will be 5 years old on Sunday....{sniff, sniff}

Officially Pink Eye....Yuk!

It's official. Saturday night my eye started killing me! Then Sunday morning it was leaking some nasty yellow stuff, and just kept getting worse and worse, despite me putting the eye drops in. By last night, it was all red and swollen, and constantly leaking. So Gross!
I woke up this morning, and it was sealed shut. Yuk! I had to soak it open, with a wet wash cloth. Then I put more eye drops in. It's swollen and red today, but not leaking as much, so I guess that is good. Hopefully with me using these drops all day yesterday and today, it will be gone tomorrow, or at least be somewhat better....
