Pictues of the girls

I took some fun new pictures of the girls and I posted them on my photography blog. There is a link to it on the right side of this blog its Brooklyn's Photography Page.

Hair Cuts All Around

I decided that it was haircut time for all the girls in our family. It had been over a year for me. Jinger, with her curls, was starting to get snarls at the ends which made it almost impossible to comb out. You would never guess it but her hair is to the bottom of her shoulder blades! Avery looked like she had a serious mullet going on, long in back and short around the ears. Plus it was starting to get into her eyes, so I could never leave it down. Jinger was so excited to be getting her hair done and she sat there the whole time with a great big grin on her face watching in the mirror. Avery, my little wiggle worm, did surprisingly well. She actually sat pretty still and both the girls look really cute with their big girl hair cuts!

P.S. I was shooting these in manual mode so some of the coloring is off. I'm just glad that they are all in focus! LOL!

family hike

Last Saturday we went on a little hike in the foothills above Ogden. The girls have so much fun when we do this and it's so much funner for us now that Avery is good little hiker! Their favorite thing to do is find treasures and throw rocks. Jingers front pocket on her hoodie was so full of treasures it was about to her Knees! Avery gets so excited any one walks by us with a dog and she has no qualms about aproaching it so we have to be sure and be close. Luckily most of them are just as excited to see her!

What am I gonna do with them?

This morning I have been atempting to finish a paper for school and Jinger and Avery have been super busy climbing all over me, making messes all over my room, moving into my room with all their toys and just driving me crazy in general. I finally told them to go in the living room. I turned a movie on which I figured Jinger would sit and watch and gave Avery stuff to play with. After a bit I noticed that it had gotten really quiet so I decided to go check on them. I peeked around the corner and this is what I found.....

They were, as Jinger put it, "cookining you breakfast! With EGGS!" They were SO into this that they didn't even hear me come into the room. They were cracking the eggs into the pot, then Jinger was giving the shells to Avery who was taking them to the garbage (and mushing them as she went). I had a trail of egg shells from the living room through the kitchen and everywhere but the garbage. There was also a broken egg (no shells) under the fridge and the kitchen table. You can't really see it but there is egg smeared all over the table under the pot they are using and it is all over in Averys hair and their clothes. I can't really get mad at them for wanting to cook me breakfast can I?
P.S. I think I'll give up on homework for the day.

P.P.S. Note to self. Egg removes finish from wood....

My Wonderful Husband

I just have to say that I have an amazing husband! He is so good to me and the girls. He is always so willing to give of himself to make us happy. He also works hard and goes to school full time and provides for us quite nicely. I love that he loves to be with his family and that he can't wait to get home every day to see us! He is suppoetive of all my conquests and thoughtful in everything. He decided the other day that he was going to send me flowers just to make me smile! Thank you for loving me and thank you for being wonderful!
