Always Baby-Proofing

I feel like it's never ending with the kids ALWAYS getting into things or doing things they aren't suppose to. The latest of baby-proofing is having Jordan keep his clothes and diapers on. He's woken up the last two days with no jammies on. We'll see if this does the trick...



My poor friend Annie always has to "Jordan-proof" her house every time we come over. We have our little system down, but he still always finds trouble! It's a never-ending battle that I'm still determined to win! HA HA HA

Every Mom's Worst Nightmare!



Yes.... it inevitably would have happened sometime. My daughter cut her hair! She actually wasn't meaning to do it. It just got in the way from cutting something else, even though she lost her cutting privleges long ago for cutting some important papers. I took her to a friend that does hair for some emergency TLC. We decided to trim it up a bit, add some layers, and feather it around her face. I'm sad to see her long hair go, but you gotta do what you gotta do! I just think of Elder Wirthlin's talk from conference and have found humor in this whole thing.


The Before: Doesn't she look so guilty?The After:

You would think we had a tree in our yard....




We had a seasonably warm day, so of course we soaked up as many rays as we could before it turns bitter cold. There were tons of leaves in our yard, even though there is not one single tree in our yard. We enjoyed them for a few days before they blew away somewhere else. We had fun building mountains, getting buried in them, and throwing up in the air.

The Before:


The After: Makenzie is there. Jordan didn't like getting his face covered.

Come and Visit Us!


Back in September our good friends, Jay and Melani Talbot, stayed with us for a few days on their way to moving to Ohio for Dental School.  It's always good to have visitors!  It wards off the home-sickness.  They have two adorable little boys, Lennix and Jensen.  Too bad it rained the whole time they were here due to the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.  We made our own fun with the GIANT puddles that formed in our backyard.

We all went bowling.

The kids did better than we did!

I feel bad that the way we told them to go was closed.  Luckily they had some other options to get around the flooding.
