Hair cuts

We needed some trimming. So Jack'ee came over to make our hair all pretty again. No more yucky ends for us.

IMG_9299 IMG_9304Jack'ee was freaked out about cutting the baby's hair with her SUPER shar leathal scissors. They both did fine. No more baby mullet! IMG_9305 IMG_9315Jack'ee thinned out V's hair to make it more manageable and gave her a much needed trim. Her hair is so much healthier looking now. Easier to wash and brush too!

So grateful for my awesome sister driving an hour to do our hair. She is the best!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had such a great weekend. I was sick the whole time. But didn’t feel that bad just a cough no fever or other symptoms. So I just powered though. “Power though” was my weekend mantra. I was glad I powered though. It really was a fun weekend.

We started off our busy weekend with a family trip to the zoo. This trip we made sure to see the big cats as requested by Kaylee and Nathan. Kaylee was my “navigator” sitting on the front of the stroller.

We also went to one of the playgrounds/splash pads they have in the zoo. These two cuties were on occasion freezing and needed a cuddled to warm up before going back to play.

Later that night we went to the Sapp’s house for a family BBQ. The children had a blast on the tramp and in the pool.

Sunday afternoon Jack’ee came over to visit, and do hair. My roots were in desperate need of bleaching! She also cut and highlighted Kaylee’s hair! Kaylee’s been BEGGING for a while. And Jon asked me if there was a good reason not to do it. I couldn’t think of any reason why not to let her get some VERY subtle highlights. So Jack’ee reluctantly foiled up her niece. You can’t hardly tell that there are highlights in her hair. Jack’ee did an AMAZING job. Kaylee was beyond thrilled at having matching hair with her Mama.

 I also got to practice Jack’ee’s wedding hair too! So much fun. I should have taken a picture. Next time I will. I need LOTS more practice before I get all the kinks worked out and the DO is wedding worthy.

See our happy guy. He was So happy during Jack’ee’s visit. That is until he grabbed the flaming hot salon (heats to a bajillion degrees!) curling iron that was on to warm up.

It was HORRIBLE!!! So so so so so horrible. My poor baby! Please ignore my smile. I am not sure why I am smiling. I felt like Regan’s face inside. Jack’ee felt like it was all her fault. It wasn’t. We all felt terrible. Sad night.

Monday we went to the Jan Day house for some AWESOME deep fried chicken and swimming fun with cousins. Jan is Shannon’s MIL, and we are in her ward. So fun! She and her hubby are super nice. We love them, and are ever grateful to be invited to family functions.

After several hours of fun we (Jon, Josh, and myself) were dressed and ready to go home. The children were not.

Dwayne is such a tease. The children were giving me heart attacks trying to get back into the pool. Regan thought the mini dips were fun. Kaylee not so much.

Regan drenched his shoes while we were all laughing at Kaylee freaking out over her toes getting wet. And then pitched a major fit as we left anyway. Stinker. 😉

So um, I awesomely got walking pneumonia. Fun stuff. Good times. No. Not really though. What I thought was an after cold linger cough was not a linger cough. After coughing for about 10 days and my lungs feeling heavy and odd I was still fighting Jon about going to see the Dr. there was TOO much to do and I didn’t feel THAT bad.  Day 11 brought PAIN. It  hurt to breath. And Kaylee was complaining of another UTI. So I called the Dr. and got us appointments.  He took a look and a listen, and said, “sounds light walking pneumonia”. And then loaded me up with Rx’s. I got a major “I told you so” from Jon. 🙂

Then Kaylee and I went home to lay on the couch and feel miserable (you can find the three of us in this position most of the day still). Regan joined us with his burned hand, and Jon took a photo of his sicky ouchy family. We are all on the mend. Regan’s hand is healing up nicely, Kaylee is on different antibiotics to hopefully knock out this infection, and I am still using the inhaler “as needed for wheezing” as instructed by Dr. M, the pharmacy, and Rx. Makes laugh every time I see it.

Josh, “Ya. You have been wheezing a lot.”

Today I was feeling REALLY good. So I walked the children up to the library (10 min stroller walk) to get some movies and books. And also to just get out of the house. By the time I got home I thought I was going to die. Hahaha. I went straight for my inhaler when we walked in the house.

Jon, “You have pneumonia! You need to rest.”

I should really start listening to my hubby…

hair help

So the last 2ish years I’ve been growing out my hair for Locks of love. It’s just about time to chop it off. I am so EXCITED to get it cut. You have NO idea! I am not changing the color (Jon was all “ooh blond huh?!” And I was all “um nope!”). So these are the different styles I’m liking. We are sort of leaning toward #4, but want some input on what others think I can pull off. Cause it’s sort of a big deal to chop off 10+ inches and even though I am SO looking forward to short hair (it’s what I prefer) I’m a bit nervous to pick out a cut. So I’d like some help please (and don’t be shy!)……
