I wish I knew what possessed sweet, innocent, angel-like 4 year old's to cut their hair. If I knew- Mom's across the universe would thank me. Really Willow??? I handled it very well, and I can still pull a lot of it back- but I was NOT happy about it, I'm still angry, but what do you do? I keep the scissors up, but wouldn't you know- she chopped it with the art scissors!
Here's a few random pics: Roman being silly in his highchair, the kids playing computer, Grace reading 5 books on the couch and Roman laying on the floor while Trav did dishes. That's life over at our house!
The 3 places I feel the most at peace are: the temple, the ocean and on a motorcycle. There is just something so freeing about being on a bike, I could ride all day if I could so of course I was thrilled to go on a long ride with Dad last week. My friend Emily watched the kiddos and I dropped them off at 11:00, then drove over to Dad's. We drove up to Horseshoe Bend and had lunch at a little Mexican resturant, and then drove over and down into Emmett. We had the most gorgous day for riding. Although cold in the morning, it was pure Heaven. We dressed warm, enjoyed the sun and awed over the breath taking colors of Fall. The air was crisp, the ride was great and we even stopped and said Hi to Shane & Chelsea while we were a few blocks away. Sadly, it was time to go home though. 5 hours wasn't long enough, but I was greatful for the fun day we had together. Thanks Dad!
The girl's are all done with their Jog-a-thon at school! They both ran/walked 6 laps each! Thank you for everyone who supported them! They earned $ 40.00 each!
Tristin did awesome at his first band concert last Thursday! Way to go Buddy!!!
Trav is a awesome Papa! Even when he's exhausted, he goes outside to play with the kids. I love him.
I love this picture of Willow, it just melts my heart. Willow is such a sweet little girl. She loves to snuggle, watch cartoons, color, tends to shy away from people, LOVES to organize, loves bath time, likes to play games, writes her name, helps with Roman,loves peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, loves playing games on the kindle, knows most of her letters and numbers by sight and loves to hold Sunny (the rabbit). She is such a joy, is very tender and thinks she can't brush her inside teeth. She still has an invisable boyfriend named Derrick who has died several times now and keeps coming back to life to morph into something new. He randomly comes up in conversation which I find completely hiliarious! She loves her Papa, would live at Sister Green's house if I let her, talks about her teachers in Primary and loves to sit on our laps during church. She loves helping others, loves spending her dollars at the $ store and will finally let me put braids in her hair instead of pony's all the time. Unfortunatly, she still bites her nails. I love you silly girl!
Willow's birthday was on the 1st and it's hard to believe she is 4 already! She had a great party and a great turn out (kept it smaller this time!) I had some of her favorite foods there: peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, cheetos, Albertson's cookies, whales, fruit, cupcakes and brocoli. I threw in chicken salad sandwiches for the adults too ( I had been craving them!) The girls played a few games and then played. She opened presents and then ate cupcakes! That pretty much wraps it up for the birthday girl!!
