Hair Cut!

I gonna be vain for just one post. I asked around in my ward to see if there was anyone who could cut hair in exchange for a massage. My hair hasn't been cut in almost 2 years, and not professionally cut for much longer. It was all the same length down to the middle of my back. SO heavy and boring! I got a response from a WONDERFUL lady in my ward who works with Evelyn in the Nursery. She came over today and did an AMAZING Job! I love it! I don't think I've looked this cute in... Ever. Thanks Marla Sharp!
I took all these silly pictures myself.. (what am I gonna do? Have Egan do it. he he)


Driving without a license

On our trip to Tahola the kids had a blast playing with their aunts and uncles. In Tahola (an Indian reservation) regular federal laws can be overlooked and ignored, this not only happens with the natives, but with my crazy family too. I have proof of a minor driving without a license. (Uncle Malachi or Mackie)

Egan was overcome with peer pressure and gave into the temptation. By the end of the 3days he could drive it himself without running over anyone. Of course he is thrilled.

The Beach at Grammy's

I took a spur of the moment trip up to Tahola to visit with Mom and Mike and all my fun siblings. We left Daddy at home to work while we played. This is us at the beach close by. The kids love to feed the seagulls. There was one funny crow on the beach begging for bread too, but whenever we threw bread at him, he was scared of it, and didn't get it picked up in time before the others got it. Mom and Me. You can really tell I'm her's in this one. =)
I got Evelyn in a little video. Too Cute.

Made more Dresses

I made a few more dresses that turned out pretty good. A crazy pinafore and some more perfect sundays. I posted pictures on my dress blog www.sassydresses.blogspot.com Take a look!

"Staow Waows" Light Sabors

Star Wars is Egan's new favorite thing. He likes to say "I'm doawf bettow!" My good friend Natalie in my ward here showed me the coolest thing to do to pool toys and ducked tape. We made light sabors! And hit each other with them all the time. All I did was cut them in half covered an end with black electrical tape, then three stripes of ducked tape, two thick black stripes and two thin stripes with a band of black on the top. Don't forget the grey button. Only took a few minutes to make, and about 50cents each. These sabors hold together so well and we're having a blast. I made green blue and red ones. Evelyn is the new sith, she will only play with red. =) We'll be making more for friends to play with at Egan's Star Wars themed birthday in July. Not too bad in comparison.

Summer Sunglasses


Every morning the kids and I go out on a walk and the sun is so bright so I got some cheapo sunglasses for the kids at the store the other day. The kids loved them, even mommy and daddy tried Egan's on, aren't we silly. Of course same day Evelyn breaks hers, that's life =)

"I can't say Cheese!"

While running frantically from their insane tickling mother these two sad siblings bonked heads and each got a "boo boo" on their lip. Some smart person suggested band aids, so the guilty parent complied. Sweet silence swept through the house, and all were happy. "A picture must be taken" said their Daddy with a grin. When pointing the camera at the poor injured people the oldest said, "I can't say Cheese!"

Another one!

Ok, so every time I went out with the kids, I have people commenting on the backpack leashes I have on them, Egan was still wearing the wal-mart monkey he's just about outgrown, so for marketing (but mostly just for fun) I made Egan one with his new favorite thing, Spacey Aliens! I made up the pattern for the alien crossing my fingers, I think it turned out all right. There is a hidden pocket behind the alien, and a drawstring to close the main pocket, its re-sizeable so it'll fit him for a long while. I've got tons of material left over for anyone who wants one. =)
