Our First Trip to Big Sur

We went camping up in Big Sur for the first time this week. What a beautiful area...truly, some of God's best work can be seen from the Pacific Coast Highway. It's a perfect spot for Nathan and I, since he loves the redwoods and I love the ocean. It may have been our first time, but it won't be our last.


Headed for the trails!

Brayden had the best seat in the house.

Less than 5 minutes in and Benjamin already needed a break.

We did both trails and no, we did not see any mountain lions.

Ben loved going over the bridges.

Hiking is exhausting work, you know.

We made it to the falls.

It was a very pretty spot.

We snacked and rested here for a bit before continuing on to the Valley View trail.

I highly recommend going to Pfeiffer Beach...beautiful!

After I snapped this picture, I realized what I was seeing...Ben walking through the water with his shoes and pants still on!

He wasn't pleased when I pointed that out to him!

The rock formations in the water were just begging to be a family photo backdrop.

Beach baby

With his gorgeous hair, doesn't Ben just look like he belongs at the beach?

Brayden had no qualms about hitting the water. He was soaked by the time we left and happy as a clam.

Don't you just love him? I do.

Goodbye June, Hello July!

We made it. We survived the month of June. This past month was totally insane. Every weekend was filled with birthday parties, graduation ceremonies and celebrations, class reunions, and baby showers. The weekdays were spent preparing for all those events and sometimes even more parties or family dinners were held on the week nights. Of course we wanted to add to the chaos, so we threw in a camping trip up to Hume for a week as well, coming home the night before I hosted a large baby shower and family birthday dinner for Ray & Laura and their boys. Finally, to cap off the month, I attended a week-long Montessori class in SLO, requiring me to find childcare every day and get myself and both boys up and out of the house by 8 each morningYep, total madness. Oh, and did I mention that we decided to redo the front planters and while we were at it, go ahead and finally put some plants in along our driveway? Of course, I wanted it done before the party, so by the time I got my act t...

It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This

Has it really been almost a year since I've wrote on this blog? I know that I posted my farewell to the Atascadero Fire Department back in March, but the last post before that occurred all the way back to last summer...yikes! So this is how blogs just fade away... Life is busy. Between all the duties that come along with being a wife and a mom, as well as my responsibilities outside of the home, I'm just exhausted at the end of the day. And truth be told, being a mother these days has not been fun, so I really haven't wanted to write about it.  Benjamin is hard. Really hard. As in, I usually cry at least a few times a week, if not daily, from sheer frustration with him. You've heard of the term "strong willed child?" Ben could be the poster child for that book. The two of us are so much alike. We both fight for control and power and we do it poorly, in the form of threats, screams, and hands thrown up in exasperation. On one particular night, the defian...
