Hallie's haircut

We've been thinking about cutting Hallie's hair for awhile. It's just so much work. So we finally did it. She was so excited. I have to admit I was a little sentimental about it all. She really did have pretty hair, but I'm loving the low maintenance of it all and it looks so cute on her. It is just hair, it soon will grow!

Before the big whack



I talked to her about how you can donate your hair to help children who are sick and lose their hair and she really wanted to.



The First Cut



Ta-da!



The Finished look



Already to send in the mail, Feeling sassy now!


On second thought maybe we'll keep it so Jake can have the mullet that he's always dreamed of! Ha Ha!

Hallie turns the big 5!

I can't believe that another year has flown by and my baby girl is 5! I can't help but get sentimental at every milestone, and this one just seems like such a big one. Hallie is such a good little girl and I feel so blessed that she is part of our family. She has the ability to make the simple things in life fun and exciting. She is a great big sister to Sadie and I enjoy watching the relationship that they have with each other. She is very smart. She recently has been learning to read a little bit. She also has learned a little subtraction and addition and is very proud that she can do "Math". She has also mastered snapping and has almost got whistling down. She is very much in to "High School Musical" and wanted to have that as the theme for her party of course! It was a fun party and a fun day. Hallie wanted waffles for dinner so we went to IHOP for dinner. I love this little 5 year old girl so much. Happy Birthday Hallie girl!

Maggie Moos

Cedar City has hit the big time! We recently got a Maggie Moos here and we've been there a couple times already. The last time we went Sadie was insistant on getting the "blue" ice cream, Cotton Candy. I wasn't sure if she would even like it, but we let her get it anyway...and boy did it make a mess! (and a very interesting diaper the next day)There was so much blue dye in it. She did enjoy every bit of it however and I enjoyed watching her enjoy it. :)

What's been going on at our house? Here's a little rundown...

I saw this on someone else's blog and thought it was pretty funny...

Bloggin' Blahs

I've sort of been in a funk lately, I think it must be the winter blahs. It seems like it always hits this time of year, anxious for warmer weather, ready to say goodbye to cold weather and snow. I'm pretty sure we are not out of it yet so I've been trying to take every advantage to get out on the "decent" days with the kids. It's amazing what fresh air does for everyone. Last week we had a really nice day and we were outside playing and Hallie said, "Mom let's get the slip n' slide out!!" She was pretty sad when I told her that 50 degrees wasn't warm enough to get it out. She did however settle for flip-flops and a light jacket.
Here are just random pictures of the girls...
