Pepper

Well the girl we have been waiting for has arrived! And she is even more of a doll than we could even believe. Autumn, Richard, Carden, and Eden welcomed Pepper Tui Kidd into world in October. Of course my Mom and Dad were in New Zealand to be there for her birth(Thank God or my Mom would have been a basket case waiting to hear in America)! Carden and Eden have been awesome big sisters helping Autumn take care of the little one. Pepper has these amazing blue eyes and the cutest little dimples when she smiles. We have already nicknamed her "Ocean Eyes", although all of our nieces have beautiful blue eyes! All of us can't wait to get our hands on Pepper and her sisters too!

She is always happy and observing her big sisters. Autumn stuck her in the bath with Carden and Eden. Pepper saw them in there and laughed and smiled. She thought it was SO cool to be in the bath with both of them. Her smile and laugh made Autumn, Carden and Eden laugh out loud. Summer time can't get here soon enough because that is when the "kiwis" come to visit us in America! I know I am already counting the days! We love you Pepper!

It's a miracle!!

 It's a 10 miracle leave-in product truly is a miracle! Considering I'm a hairstylist, I hated to admit i dreaded washing my hair because combing out my tangles was so frustrating! This product has solved that problem and made my life so much easier at the salon and at home. Spray it directly on tangles and spritz it lightly all over the hair. Besides miraculously detangling the hair the smell is amazing!! Other benefits of this product:

• Repairs dry, damaged hair
• Adds shine
• Controls frizz
• Seals and protects hair color
• Prevents split eds
• Stops hair breakage
• Creates silkiness 
• Enhances natural body

It's worth the price. I highly recommend it. All my sisters are hooked. Buy it and get hooked. It'll be good for you :)

The Morely Wedding

Our best friend Katherine Mary Ford aka the third Hansen brother or Ralphy got married recently. Katie is really like the 7th Gurell girl in our fam and it was so great to see how in love CJ and her really are and it definitely showed on that day!  She was the most laid back bride and it was so awesome to get to stand next to her as she said, "I do." Her true self was shown throughout her day. She complemented everyone she saw and was more worried about how everyone else was doing rather then her. She really is the most real and generous person I have ever met. Even though I was the worlds worst maid of honor I was honored to be there for her. Right when she was about to walk down the isle I stepped on her vail which almost ripped her hair out. Whoops! I didn't feel so bad though because I think everyone of her bridesmaids stepped on it at some point. We are so excited for her and CJ and just hope they have kids soon so we can all be aunties for the fourth time. She was the most beautiful bride ever! We love you Kate and Bubba!

New addition to the Gurell Fam!

Sorry we haven't updated our blog lately. I'm sure you have all missed our opinions so much. HA! Jk. So we're back! This Summer Autumn, Richard, and the girls were here for 5 weeks. It was the best five weeks of our lives and I'm pretty sure Carden and Eden didn't know what to do when they went home to their peaceful life in New Zealand without their five aunties cheering for every move they made. Well Autumn is pregnant (due in October) and we got to find out the sex of the baby while she was here. We had a baby reveal party where we played games, found out the Godmother, and revealed the sex of the baby with family and friends. This was revealed in cupcakes. In one of the cakes their was a either a pink or blue rocking horse. We were all dieing to see what color it was and of course it was the last cupcake to be picked up. It was cute though because Richard was the one that bit into the cupcake that the color reveal in it. I bet you could all guess what color it was! Yep, that's right it's another girl for this bunch and we couldn't be happier. At this point if someone has a boy it will be dressed in pink regardless considering that's all we know! Here's some pics.. Only less then two months and we get to meet our precious angel. Since Aut and Richard make the prettiest girls in the world we have all asked Richard if he would consider being a sperm donor for the rest of us. After some thought he said absolutely not! HA! Poor guy.

Camp Krem for life!

Jonnie and I went to "Do It Ourselves Fest" in the mountains of Santa Cruz, where we spent our time watching hippies get loose, climbing mountains, dancing to blue grass music, and watching some free souls lay out at the pool with their titties out. We loved how they didn't care how white or saggy they were; they were out for all to see. Jonnie managed to find the weirdest man in all of Santa Cruz to dance with. Hair as long as mine, a maxi skirt, running tennis shoes, and a corset top. He, Kylle, and Jonnie were my main dance partners for the last night. Oh gosh! Us girls were really camp boys for the weekend.We went with the best crew in town, and it was one of the best experiences I've had in awhile. Made me just realize life is much better when you don't care. Thanks Niday! Camp Krem for life. Here's some pics...
