To dye or not to dye.....

So here is a nice superficial blog for all of you....The question at hand is should I become a brunette???? Now, this is a huge decision for me...I've been blond my whole life...yet as the birth of our second child rapidly aproaches, I 've been feeling like I don't want to hear all over again "Thats YOUR baby??? She has such dark hair!! She doesn't look a thing like you."
Yes...that is what I heard over and over when Ruby was born....Her hair is so dark...oh she looks like her dad....and so on and so on. It got to the point where I went out and bought a bottle of that temporary mouse hair colour stuff in the darkest brown shade I could find and dyed my tresses. Now as the box said, it washes out in a week...and it did.....and in reality, it only stayed a really nice brown for like 2 days (then it went all greyish...yuck)...but in those first two days everyone who saw me (or the pics I took) said that I NEED to dye my hair brown, that it looked soooo great. Ahhh, the dilemma....what to do what to do???? Is this next child going to pop out with a thick dark head of hair like Ruby did?
so thats my quandry....do I go brown??? It's quite the serious predicament huh??!!(*Tracy rolls her eyes at herself*)
:)
here's what I'd look like if I did....

large and in charge

wow...I'm exhausted....we did History maker this weekend. Nothing like spending your long weekend with 3000 hoped-up-on-sugar-and-no-sleep teenegaers! We played the Level records side stage sat and sun....had a blast....hung with my dancer girls the the rest of the time....*sigh*...I miss dancing....yet still, my body feels like I danced all weekend!....gotta be the whole "pregnant thing" huh :)
Well, I'm 32 weeks now....unbelievable!.....and very much feeling like it! in fact, I might just go take a nap right now...
zzzzzz.....

I told you so.....

well, I knew this would happen....all of my good intentions go out the window! Ahhh! It's been over a month since I've "blogged"...and yes...and need to change my ways! I will try harder. I can't believe that we're over half way thorugh May! It's the flipping long weekend already!!!! cuh-ray-zee. It's going by far to fast for me! We have our baby's birthday....July the 11th (7-11 baby!!). My c section is booked, and it feels quite bizzarre to know our childs birthday?!?!?! anyways...my mom just got here to take me to costco today! YAY! I never thought I'd be so stoked to go to costco....wow....I'm totally a mom

Hawaii Trip

Well, we were so blessed to go to Hawaii 2 weeks ago with my parents for our anniversaries (both Ken and I and my parents have the same anniversary! April the 6th). It was our 5 year anniversary! Hard to believe! It seems like only yesterday we were at the church the day before the wedding decorating like crazy?!?! We went out for an awesome dinner with all you can eat alaskan crab (Kenny had seriously been waiting since last year for that crab again!!!), and one whole side of the restaurant was a two story fish tank! Pretty cool. A girl dives in and everything and feeds the fish while you eat. Ruby loved it!

She learned quite a few new things while we were gone. So many new words!!! Some of her favorit things were ridding in the elevator and getting to push the buttons! As soon as we would walk up to the elevator, she'd stick her little thumb out and say "beep beep beep??" And of corse we let her push the button every time! She also learne dto count to 3...I think that had something to do with riding in the elevator too, and seeing the different floors pass. Another word she learned was "plane". From the beach, you can see the airports flight path pretty well, and there are literally planes taking off or landing every 5 minutes....so whenever she heard a plane or saw one, she'd point up to it and scream "PLANE!!!" it was so cute....and literally, every 5 minutes....she never got tired of spotting planes. And sometimes we couldn't even see them for a second or two, they were so small! But she spied them out...she's got some eagle eyes on her or somthing!!! We spent most days on the beach in the morning and the pool in the afternoon....taking some time to do shopping of corse!!! (how caould I go on vacation and not shop?!?!:) It wasn't exactly as restful as a trip as we had hoped for....It's amazing how much a 19 month old will keep you on your toes! It took all 4 of us to keep up with 1 of Ruby!!! She was such a blast. so here's some more pictures of our time. Enjoy!

be my everything

God in my living,
there in my breathing
God in my waking,
God in my sleeping
God in my resting,
there in my working
God in my thinking,
God in my speaking

Be my everything,
be my everything
Be my everything,
be my everything

God in my hoping,
there in my dreaming
God in my watching,
God in my waiting
God in my laughing,
there in my weeping
God in my hurting,
God in my healing


Christ in me,
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything
