The Happs

having lots of fun in our back yard!

and with daddy!


Noni and I went to the beach again for a one night stay with my mom, aunt, cousin and niece and nephew. It was lots of fun. The first day was rainy so we just walked the boardwalk and the second was beautiful beach weather.

New favorite thing. Umbrellas!

Noni girl has been to the beach 5 times in her short little life and really is becoming a pro. She eventually got used to the water and was really loving by the end and she absolutly loves playing in the sand.

I hope to have one of these mommy and Noni pics every year of her life to put in her scrapbook. Love it!

Looking forward to celebrating Nonis 2nd Birthday this Sunday. Yay!
HAPPY WEEKEND!

SIX Years!! WhAt??

Yup Pete and Keni have been married for six blissful years. He is truley my best friend and I am his. We have had our ups and downs but mostly we really enjoy living life together. Our relationship has evolved and changed over the years and is going to keep evolving but that is exciting. Knowing we will always be there for each other, through ALL of lifes adventures. I am so thankful for him!
We celebrated our big day by feasting at Olive Garden (just the two of us) and shopping at Toys R Us for our Noni girl. Simple but fun!

Here are some pics of us from our wedding and over the years!

ONE Year DREADiversary!

I can't believe its been a year since I got my dreads! It has been quite a journey. Some days I hate them and some days I love them but mostly I really do like having them. My hair has really taken them well and are felting up very nicely. They are still messy and loopy which is just part of the process. Three years is when dreads are supposed to be fully settled and mine are well on there way. I originally committed myself to keeping them for one year but now that its here I think I have to commit to three years. Might as well. It will go so fast. BUT Im not promising anything.

I have dyed them blonde twice now which is fun. I like changing things up every now and then. I might dye just a few a bright funky color. We'll see. I love putting beads in and colorful floss. I might even try making my own clay beads sometime.
I am very excited that I have found some one to help me maintain them. An old friend/co-worker from when I worked at a the hair salon. She helped me with some loose hairs last month and I think I need to make my next appointment to work on my roots. I have also found a lot of helpful dread heads online that share what works for them on maintaining and styling so that has been very helpful.

SO Happy Dreadiversary to me!!!!!!!
