Another Hair Cut....Oh My!
Oh my....I only worked out for an hour today so I could make a hair appt while my chickens were in school. My first big "hair cut" a few weeks ago did not turn out so hot. The big "whack" of 14 inches, well was kinda a bad cut. Straight across and blunt. I was not thrilled. Since I wear my hair in pony tails most days it really was not an issues, but I knew I needed to get layers. So I went and saw my Aunt's "master stylist" at Rolf's who "wah-la" fixed it!! Layers gallore!!! And I go to her Tuesday to get my color redone....something new and refreshing, ha! So I turned over to the dark side and yes, will be paying double what I normally do. But the service and quality is outstanding and worth it :) So I am happy......you like? My hair is sooooo thick, I needed something new. Those who knew me, know I have had the same hair do for years.....

What Have I Been Up To?
Now that summer is over, what have I been up to you ask??? Well mostly being a bus driver to my kids, oh and a cook, a police officer, a nurse and maid to them also :)While they are in school I am running all over the place catching up on errands, appts and I've also been up at the Club working out 2-3 hours a day :) Which has been nice. Taking a break from The Lab for a while, which is just as great but a different kind of workout. At the Club I am doing Spinning, Yoga, Pilates, Step, Pump, Flow, Tai Chi and just normal gym stuff every week day.
So my step instructor Seth said something I was giggling at, and I have to quote here:
"Ladies, the only direction we are going, is OVER THE TOP."
And he did not mean over the top of the step. He meant "over the top" with our moves during the class. He were stepping and vogue-ing to Madonna. He wanted us ladies to shout to ourselves "we are beautiful" along to the Euro pop music that was on, too fun! He was running around the room with an invisible camera in his hands taking photos of us, telling us were on a catwalk. Good Times :) Anyways, awesome class, awesome OVER THE TOP teacher, left there drenched in sweat, can't beat that.....can't wait to see what he says tomorrow. He is so animated and he ends each song with a pose and a stiff face like someone from a magazine is taking a photo shoot of him on the platform. HA HA! He must have been in tons of musicals and theater before becoming a step teacher. Wish I had a camera....this would be GOOD TO VIDEO for you all........sweet niblets I need to make a plan :)
xoxoxoxo Shawna Rae :)

Ode to Tom Petty
Oh Tom Petty,
I remember listening to you as a child,
The song you sang with Stevie Nicks,
Stop Dragging my Heart Around,
Well, you accomplished it, you ARE dragging MY heart around,
Around to Jobing.com Arena tonight to see you, yes you, perform,
How I have waited so many years to see you and your blonde locks on stage,
I am hoping for all the classics but also a near and dear song,
"Among the Wildflowers",
Someone once said the song remind them of me and I never forgot,
So Tom with your red guitar and all 90 pounds of you up there looking down on all us common folk,
Think of playing "my song" and yes I am the girl that will be swaying my head with every song with my eyes closed doing the white man's overbite throughout the concert....I can guarantee it,
In case you look, that is :)

School Supplies
Had to post these pictures. We order our school supplies online and this year I ordered for 5 kids. So when the boxes arrived (about 13 of them), I had to sort through everything and make piles and check off lists. What a mess huh? On the 1st day of school Paris' class drew a picture of what they did to get ready for school. I looked at Paris picture and it looked like a mess. It was a drawing of all the school supplies in piles in the entryway. It made me crack up. Unless you were at my house none of the other parents understood the drawing!

First Week of School
The first week back at school. We had 1 half day and 4 full days. All the kids loved it! Most of all I loved having them back at school :) Hurray for August-May!! Since our family has 10 cousins within the K-12th grades here at the school it took me a week to get pictures of everyone (hence the first "week" instead of day).
Notice anything in any of the pictures??? Anything different???

The Beautiful Fireworks
I will be posting a bunch of YouTube videos, playing catch up from summer :) This is the fireworks show that my 2 aunts (Wendy and Lisa) gave to my dad for his 50th birthday. It was his very own fireworks show sync'ed to a John Tesh/Yanni soundtrack. Runs for 4 minutes. What a great gift! So after the cake, then the surprise fireworks show started. My dad was blown away, as were we. They were right over our head. So big and beautful!! This is on the beach of the Hotel Del Coronado on Coronado Island, Ca (San Diego) where we had the surprise 50th party on July 15th for him!

The Departure Day
On Saturday, August 2nd at 9:50am the 36 of us disembarked the ship during our own designated tag color of white (NCL gave our group our own color, which was very neat). We went through customs and found all of our luggage which turned out to be over 50 pieces total for our group. Then our motorcoach arrived about 20 minutes later. We loaded up and headed for the airport. Good bye NCL...good bye pier....good bye Seattle.....
We all waited patiently to board Southwest flight # 1977....36 of us, mostly in group A
Then the 36 of us climbed aboard a Southwest Airlines plane bound for Phx. We were all refreshed from our Alaskan cruise and very appreciative for the quality time spent together. This kind of time is priceless and is what memories are made of....
After we arrived, everyone went home and had sweet dreams about the wonderful trip we had just taken together. And I, started typing these specific blog entries about the cruise to let all of you know about all of our special moments we shared together during the cruise :)
