Funny Memory

I was just updating my Smugmug website- I have hundreds of pictures full of memories. And I saw this picture of Naiomi. Sheree, Naiomi, Liz and I went to El Morocco in Pleasant Hill to have Middle Eastern food and watch belly dancing. Naiomi made her way over to the bar and made friends with the other customers there- and the bartender. She managed to charm a few dollars out of the bartender- and free Shirley Temples. When we looked over there, she was sitting on a stool next to a customer at the bar with the red hat on. The customer and bartender were laughing and told us "She is going to be trouble when she gets older". Then Naiomi joined in with the belly dancing. I just have such good memories of that night. I can't believe she is already 7 years old.

My Birthday

For my 31st birthday, Ross and I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and then we drove down the coast to Cambria. The weather was perfect so we could see miles down the coastline. We stayed at a hotel right across from the beach. It was relaxing to just get away and spend some time with my wonderful husband :) We went to Hearst castle which is pretty amazing. And mostly we walked along the beach and saw amazing sunsets. So now I am officially in my 30's- but I am excited to see what the next years will bring.
