1st day of school

Today was the first day of school..The kids were sooooo excited they were all up and ready to go by 7:30 this morning. To bad that is just a one day thing LOL. Today was a special day though, not only was it the first day of school and Chloe going to kindergarten. But Kyle was able to help raise the school flag today for the first day of school. We are very proud of him and wanted to show some of the pics we took hope you enjoy them like we had.

Bear Lake

Last weekend we went to our Family Reunion up at Bear Lake. Only some of the family was able to make it but they were their in our hearts. Here are some pictures from the Talent Show and the Dance Party we had.

No more hair for Chloe !!!!

So yesterday we were sitting around and I decided I was going to do Chloes hair, she screamed and through a fit and ran the opposite way. So I got on the phone and called Dollar Cuts. Got her a apt yesterday and took her in and chopped off the hair. I got a side view pic and a frontal view pic but here is what it looks like now. They really wanted to donate her hair to locks of love but she was a inch off from having enough to donate. Maybe next year when I decide to cut it I will wait a little longer so we can donate it.

A Sad Sad Day

There we were enjoying some quiet time (something that does not happen here) when all of a sudden we got nailed with a rouge idea. After some counseling and lots of crying because of the nick name Jolene called Kolby we decided it was time.... It was time the mullet found another home, it was a very sad occasion, we first celebrated the mullet with Ice Cream and then we pulled out the shaver and CUT IT OFF, I didn't think I could do it at first but after a little bit of liquid courage I managed to get up the guts and I just did it, I cut the mullet, I couldn't believe I did it, at first I panicked a little and then I closed my eyes and off it went, at first it slowly fell to the grass but the more I cut the faster it fell, I felt like I was Edward Scissor Hands, pretty soon all of it was off and laid there on the grass looking up at me and saying why, why did I have to be cut off, why now, why me. All I could do was respond by saying Sorry, your Aunt Jolene made me do it, I didn't want to do it but she made me, it was all her fault. Well here are some before and after pictures of this sad event.

Summer fun, something in expensive to do crafty with the kids

Mini Pinatas!!

1. Collect four short paper tubes ( like the tp ones ). For legs cut two of the tubes in half. Tape the legs to a full-sized tube. If desired, fill the tubes with wrapped candy ( or leave them empty and use the mini pinata as a table decoration. Tape over the ends.

2. For the head, cut off the end of the fourth tube and tape it back on sideways. Tape the head to the body.

3. Wrap the pinata with masking tape. Shape the ears from teh tape.

4. Cover the pinata with crepe paper strips, add wiggly eyes

As soon as i get one done I will post a pic of it, I figured this would be fun for any kids of any age to do so I thought Id share have a great day!

Kolby and sand, Oh my!

So since today we only had Kolby, ( which don't happen very often ) we decided to go up to pine view to have a little bit of fun. Well, he had a blast! He loves the water not to mention the sand. Brian brought his kayak but didn't pull it out. Kolby was having way to much fun in the sun today. He played in the water and the people next to us let him use some shovels in the sand. He had a great day. Thought I'd share with you all how much fun he had playing in the sand and in the water with mommy n daddy. He loves it when he is by himself with us because then he don't need to fight for attention. Although when school starts it will be just him and me during the day. YIPPEE!!!! Here are some of my favorite photos out of the 20 we took lol.
