Hair Cuts!!!

Today was the wonderful day that Christy & her girls came over to our house & she fixed Kelsey's hair cut!! She was amazing!! She cut & colored my hair,cut Kelsey's, Lindsey's & Bryan's hair!!! All in a few hours!! She is super women I swear! It was so sad to see Kelsey's hair go but she actually looks her age now. It is amazing how much hair she took off (about 9 inches) . Kelsey is blessed with my mother's thick hair. She has more hair on her head than most adults. Here is a picture of the pile of hair that Chirsty cut off. I put the squirt bottle next to it so you could see how much hair it really was & this is just what we could pick up off the carpet without vacuuming it up. SAD!!!! But she looks adorable now!!

Lindsey had her hair trimmed. I like her hair shorter. She doesn't have a thick of hair as Kels so I like to keep hers short. Much easier for me to do. She was so good. We put a movie on & just propped them up on the coffee table & Christy went to town. Linds was a saint like always. She just sat there & held still (for the most part) & watched her movie.

Before her hair cut. CHEESE!!!!

Here is the Final length of Kelsey's hair. Christy was still thinning it out a bit but Kels wasn't too happy to see her hair go. Neither was mom but what can you do? What a face huh?

Not quite sure what to think about the new dew!! But she is warming up to it. The back of Kelsey's hair.....

....Cutting Kelsey's hair.....

...I gave the girls each a bowl of popcorn to keep them busy & it ended up all over the floor along with the foot of Kelsey's hair!!!

One of the 'Big' cuts. She took like 9 inches off in one cut. YIKES!!!

Kelsey was NOT happy to have her hair cut. I kept telling her..."This is why you don't cut your own hair!!! If you do this again you will look like a little boy!!" I am terrible I know!! But it could have been MUCH worse!! Thankfully it was fixable! Poor Christy had to work at it for a while to get it to be even but it looks great now.

LOOK AT HOW LONG IT USE TO BE!! SAD!!!!!
Oh I am so glad it is over!! I know I am pathetic but Kelsey had the most beautiful hair. Everyone kept telling me to cut it off but it was too pretty!! So she did it herself. But her hair is so thick that poor Christy had to thin it out so much just to get it to lay right. That is why we have never cut it before now. I was too afraid of her having an Afro!! :) Well today was rough but what can you do, right? I just pray that either of my girls do this again!! I am afraid that if they do it wont be fixable!! We lucked out this time.

Easter Weekend......

This weekend I found out that I am allergic to yet another anti-biotic!!! I have been struggling to get through a kidney infection & on my 10th day of anti-biotic I broke out in hives all over my arms. They started out normal but by noon they started to look VERY FUNNY. I looked like I had Leprosy. So I took some benadryl & went on with my day. They never went away like they should have they just got worse & worse. Till finally Friday (when this all started on Wednesday night.) I called Bryan & had him take me to the Doctors because I was having a hard time swallowing & my eyes were blurry & starting to swell shut. Fun I know!! So I get to the Docs & she tells me that if I would have waited any longer my skin could have started blistering & falling off!! AWESOME!!!! So she gave me a Epinephrine shot to stop me from dieing & a a shot of Solumedrol to stop the rash from forming. I still have to take Benadryl every 4 hours or else they start up again & I still itch not to mention that I have scars all over my body where the rash was. I don't know how long it will take for them to go away. AWESOME!!!! :) Thank heavens for my wonderful mother-in-law, Donna took Kelsey & Lindsey Friday night to spend the night so I could PASS OUT & Bryan was AMAZING & took Sadie for me. I think he got a taste of how little that child really sleeps!! But he was AWESOME!!! I could not have done it without them!! Then I was feeling a little bit better & I didn't look like a infectious diseased person anymore so I went with Donna to take lunch to LaMar while he irrigated. The girls love to take lunch to grandpa & play on the playground. While we were out & about we stopped at Michael's craft. It was POURING down rain & I slipped & fell flat on my butt when I ran into the store. SO FUNNY!!! Then when I ran outside I couldn't find my car cause Donna had gotten in to drive the girls around & I slipped AGAIN!!! hahaha :) SO FUNNY!!! So now my mother-in-law must think I am NUTS or on drugs or something!!! SO to top off the insanity cause I was getting the girls' baskets out of the closet & fell out of the closet & rolled my ankle!!! In the mean time of falling out of the closet I SHOVED Lindsey out the front door launching her off the front porch & slamming the door behind her. I am laying on the floor & my poor baby is SCREAMING outside like someone has just killed her!!! & Bryan is yelling at me because he has no idea what the crap is going on!!! hahahaha :) ONLY IN OUR HOUSE!!!! Now Donna REALLY thinks I have LOST IT!!! I am laying on the floor dieing & Byran is trying to help me up while holding Lindsey who has just been traumatized!!! HAPPY EASTER!!!!! :)

So to top it all off........

The Hot topic of the weekend.....Kelsey cut off her BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!!!! Here are the result pictures. I wish that they did it Justice. I couldn't get the pictures quite right but the damage is extreme!!! It all happened on Easter night. Bryan & I have both been sick & Lindsey & Kelsey were playing in the toy room when I got a bad feeling & Kelsey came in to show 'dad' & I that she had cut her horses hair & that is when we say it. She has a mullet!!!! She chopped her bangs of almost all the way up to her scalp. We caught them in time before Lindsey suffered the same fate!!! She has a few straggler strands but nothing a little trim can't fix. But oh sweet Kelsey!!! Her BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!!!! I cried!!! It broke my heart. Christy comes on Thursday to fix it. Till then I am not touching it. I am too afraid of making it worse!!

Wednesday night I couldn't get my little night owl to sleep!! This is Sadie Lynn at 3 a.m. playing with Kelsey's Snow White doll. She looks so funny!! This kid will be the death of me I swear!!!
I mean look at this face!!! Who could be mad?!
Easter Morning. The girls woke up & RUSHED into the kitchen to find their Easter baskets full of yummy goodies, a fun new book & a microphone.

While they ate their breakfast I did their hair. I made the flowers the night before. The dresses are from grandma Brenda for Easter.
Leaving for church. I tried to get the girls to pose in the front yard for Easter pictures in their pretty new dresses but they wouldn't have anything to do with it!! Oh well.

Look at this stinkin' face!! She is such a doll!! I just can't get enough of her. She cracks me up.

Pictures after church. They were a little bit more willing to pose after church but only on the couch. What can you do?

They eash had to take turns holding Sadie. Heavan forbit it if I could just get them to sit down all together on the couch!! That would just be too much. :) Well we are so blessed & we have had a very exciteing weekend!! :) Thank heavans for Mondays!!! :)

New Boots....

Kelsey has a new pair of pink cowgirl boots. She was so excited to have them. Here she is dancing in LaMar & Donna's back yard. She was so proud of them!! Check out this dance!!

She even hiked up her skirt so that you could get a better look at her boots!!

Bryan does this with all of our kids!! He holds them in his hands & has them stand up!! Sadie has been too stubborn. Bryan has yet to get here to do it...until Friday night. She was so excited & laughing so hard when he would hold her up. I was in the laundry room doing laundry & he runs in all excited to show me. He is so cute with our girls!! I love it!!

Look at that GRIN!! So completely precious!! Check out the nice laundry pile in the back too! Could have been in a better room but oh well. Where ever you can get a picture of her standing right?! :)

Conference weekend...April 4 & 5 2009

After the last session of Conference all the cousins that live in the valley all met at Donna & LaMar's house for dinner & an Easter egg hunt. We had so much fun. Wonderful Sadie slept almost the entire time we were there so there aren't any pictures of her with the other kids. We had a wonderful dinner with twice baked potatoes, Caesar salad, turkey, ham, homemade rolls, deviled eggs (provided by myself) & cupcakes (also provided bu myself). It was wonderful. Everyone pitched in & it was great. After dinner the adults hid Easter eggs in the back yard for the kids to find. They sent the smaller kids out first to find the easy ones & then the older kids went out. They all had tons of candy & ran around the back yard all crazy for about 3 hours!! Sugar high!!!

Here the girls are waiting for their food. I love Kelsey's smile!!
I love my beautiful Linds!! She doesn't like to have her picture taken. Funny girl.

The girls got these cute outfits for Easter from Grandma Brenda. They looked so cute!! Lindsey is showing me her new shirt in this picture.

Such sweet sisters!! They are best friends. They have their moments where they hate each other but for the most part they don't like to be away from each other.

SUPER CHEESER!!!

Lindsey was dancing around the back yard in her new skirt. She was singing....'Lalala...lalala..lalalala' While spinning around. She cracks me up!! What a princess.

Here are all the kids waiting inside while all the eggs are being hidden. They were all freaking out so Donna put a Church movie on & the only kids who even noticed it were Kelsey & Lindsey. The TV is like a magnet to them. If it is on you can't ask the anything!! :)

Now they all moved to the door & were trying to peak....cheaters!!! :)

CHEESE!!!!

Lindsey kept dumping all her eggs out!!

Grandpa LaMar helped Lindsey find some eggs. She is such a grandpa's girl!! She loves him so much. She always wants to go to papa's house. :)

Kelsey was really fast & she found lots of eggs. Which means LOTS of candy!! She was WIRED!!

Showing off some of her Loot!!

Some more goodies!! She looks THRILLED, doesn't she?

It is a basket Linds not a purse!! Funny kid!! She was dancing around the yard swinging it around!!

She played so hard at grandma & grandpa's house that when we got home I bathed them & then they were playing around the house to wear off some energy. Linds was playing on the recliner, Spinning it around in circles. Next thing I know it isn't moving anymore so I went to check on her & she was passed out!! She was pooped!! I love this look at how her face is smashed into the arm of the chair. She was even snoring!! Silly kid.

What a fun day!!
