Desperate Times.....

Call for DESPERATE measures. My hair was way long and my A-Line essentially gone and basically just driving me nuts. So, what's a girl to do when her hair cutter is almost 2 hours away? Have her husband give her a trim of course!!!!! GASP!!! No lie, I really asked him for a trim and of course I'm totally butched, and after some exchanging of words (a little loud and harsh) and almost a few tears...he fixed it up and it has an A-line again and he actually did ok. Shorter then what I wanted, but okay nonetheless. I should have taken some side pics to show the diagonal, it's subtel, but I didn't dare let him do more. Now I just need to get rid of the roots!! :)

Hiking In Dixie

Who says you can't hike in a dress and flip flops??

Spring Break 2011

Spring Break 2011 has been fabulous and is sadly winding down. Me and the kids have had 10 full days off and have enjoyed playing and being lazy too. Nick had to work so we didn't go anywhere, but we still had fun! The first weekend our friends visited us. Then Monday we had a fun day of shopping!! Tuesday and Wednesday my dad and brother came to visit. We did some exploring, we visited this fun game museum, I had to do the DMV :(, and we searched and eventually a bought a new toy hauler for my dad. We also ate LOTS of good food while they were here. My dad always spoils us!! Thursday was Nick's day off so we had a little date day. We did sealings at the temple, ate at Outback, got cupcakes and explored (one of our favorite things to do!). We tried to take the kids to a movie, but it was sold out so we went hiking instead. Oh well that we were in flip flops and a dress (Reag) and flats, it was fun nonetheless. It was right around sunset and BEAUTIFUL. Of course, I didn't have my camera. Tear!! There would have been some great pictures. Oh well! Friday was a chill day with kids playing in the kiddie pool in the backyard, saturday was chill too just doing chores getting ready for the week. Monday we all have off one last day before life starts again. We are planning some fun things, so more pics to come!! Holy this is the longest post of my life!!!!! :)

Such a nerd! Of course, my dad did dare him. What's a guy to do?!

Family Friends Weekend

We had a fun, fabulous weekend with our family friends. We were so glad they came up to see us. We had a blast!!! Lots of yummy food and fun. It's so easy with them and our kids get along great!! Come back soon!!!!

Chloe and Reag--sticker crazy!!

Chris fixed our truck so it would go faster and Reag LOVED the change!!!

Feeding the ducks

They were convinced they were going to see turtles and feed them too and what do you know, they found a turtle. Reag petted....

Then Chloe petted and the other boys too....

then they decided he needed food too. Then we started wondering why he wasn't moving or even scared that we were there. That's when we got a stick and poked him and sure enough...dead!!! Way gross!!! Hand sanitizer please!!!!!

This is the hot mama to FIVE kids and one of my very bestest friends!!! Love you Chrissy!!!

Random Pictures

Love her!!!

Our awesome babysitter, Heather. Reag had put over 40 hair bows and clips in her hair!

Reag blowing bubbles in the backyard.

Our awesome view!!

Helping me clean up by licking the spoon.

Hunter loves to do whatever Reagan's doing. This time it was a headband.

This time too!!!!

Getting ready to leave for church. Reag is so old and easy now and does most of it by herself. Hunter, not so much. Can you tell what kind of day it was gonna be?!

Funnies

Ok, I had to post this real quick before I forgot. Usually I end up forgetting or I write it down and never post it. First, we were driving in the car, listening to a song that said something like being lazy and just getting tangled in the sheets. Reag says, "tangled in the sheets. That's not good, how will they leave the house?!". I hope she never understands that!!! Second, she had her first day of gymnastics. As we were driving home, I asked her what her favorite part was---getting a drink of water!!! What?! That's an expensive drink!!! And lastly, oh man!! I've already forgotten and it was really funny and not even an hour ago!! I'm getting old!

Bounce House

The kids kept getting in the way while we were trying to get some things done, so we decided we would get the bounce house out to distract them. It was raining lots so it ended up in the living room. They had a blast playing then watched a movie in it. Looks pretty comfy! Reag just asked if she could sleep there tonight. Lovely!

He loves dirtbikes, yay!!

This was Hunter yesterday while I was doing things around the house.

I told him to show me his dirtbike-he pointed to his shirt.

He LOVES dirtbikes, four wheelers, trucks, cars, balls (notice the two he was playing with)basically anything that goes.

Love my cowboys!

SOOO CUTE!! Hunter love to put our shoes on, but they're usually mine and Reags! I think because Nick's are so big and heavy. He about biffed it trying to walk about 2 seconds after I took the picture.

Love him!

Daddy's girl!

Then Hunter freaked out because he wanted a turn. Love sibling rivalry!

Reag does good with it....most of the time.

Pirate Island Pizza

We have a fun restaurant that we just tried. It's great for kids--pizza, loud kids that drown mine out, and fun games=happiness!
