The Sunny Side of Life

So I'm writing this post from my new PINK Hp mini laptop. It is sooooo frickin cute! Its totally girly, complete with pink keyboard and all. I had told my Dad that I wanted one, so last week when we were up there for dinner he handed me a gift wrapped in Christmas paper. He said, "Merry Christmas." Inside was the little laptop I wanted. :) It came at a perfect time...I start back to school this week.

Other than that I'm back in the swing of working and school, I'm already tired. LOL Watching four girls all day and then school at night is exhausting. Keeping the girls entertained all day, till they start school, is a real challenge. Samantha is a great little helper and is going to make a great Mommy someday.

I believe in my last post I mentioned we were going to farm in Watsonville to go fruit picking. It was a great day. We hit the farm and then decided to head down to San Juan Bautista. My Dad took my brother and I there as kids so we were curious to see how it looks now. Well the city has become slightly run down but the Mission is still very nice. The view from the Mission was just beautiful! From there my dad and brother wanted to hit a few wineries, I told them only if we hit the Gilroy Outlets after. :) So thats what we did, but first we hit Garlic World. Its a huge store full of any and everything garlic. We took some hilarious pictures of us all as a heads of garlic. I'll post them below. On the drive home it was decided that we should end the day with a fabulous dinner at Fredricos. As always it was wonderful!! So that was my last trip of the summer. :( Next weekend Sam is having a sleepover with a few friends and that will officially end our summer fun!

Below are a few pictures. The ones of Sam in the black dress are from this weekend. Nathan's girlfriend took her to see the play Cats so of course she had to get all dolled up. I grabbed my camera because she just looked so grown up. She has the most beautiful smile and these pictures really captured it!
