Rachel's first go-cart ride, she squeeled and clapped the whole time and said faster faster!!

saw no jelly fish until last morning and they were huge and hundreds of them!!

good timing for us!!

Trailor Choir concert

this is Taylor at about 9pm......ear plugs in and sleeping hard!

the concert was to benefit the Deanna Glossup Foundation, which was started in honor of Deanna who lost her battle to childhood cancer. It is a great foundation!

this was the first thing they saw at the concert

Rachel's first haircut!

the pics are in the wrong order but I decided since Rachel's shortest length of her hair was to her chin that we would get it bobbed and oh my it is sooooo precious!!!

look at this goofy girl with me drying her hair!

Daddy turned 39!!! Us with cousin Emma. We are at our rental house while renovating!! Can't wait to move, and yes that's the kitchen table in the living room, no other place for it!
