EASTER 2009

Saturday morning we went to the Eggs Hunt in Centerville. Russ and Jaxon went together and me and the girls went to there age group. When the siren blared Brynn got scared and threw herself on the ground and started crying. I picked up what little eggs were left at that point and gave them to her. She chucked them and said she didn't want them. Jaxon made a haul. He got a ton of eggs. Avery got one egg and was happy as can be. Saturday night our family dyed Easter Eggs. The kids absolutely loved it. I only boiled a dozen and ended up boiling a dozen more because they were enjoying it so much. Sunday morning the kids got there baskets. I had to sneak Brynns out when she was sleeping. She had been carrying that darn thing around for three days prior. They were surprised with what the Easter Bunny had brought them. Then the kids found the eggs that they had dyed the night before. We then got ready for church and Brynn had to take her new Dora kite with her into church. I tried to take it away but couldn't deal with the crying that would have gone all throughout church, so I let her take it in. After church we went out to my sister-in-laws house for another Egg Hunt and dinner. The kids then went to the park and played until it got dark. It was a fun filled, exhausting day!

It was just a matter of time.....

We all know of someone or maybe even did it ourselves when we were little or maybe recently. That's right you guessed it, or maybe the picture gave it away, a HAIRCUT not just any haircut but a scalping in some parts. If you can get past the painted face you can see the beautiful job that Brynn did. Brynn and I were painting with her watercolors and she asked me to paint her face. This is what it ended up looking like. Then about a half hour later while me, Russ and Jaxon were watching General Conference on Saturday Brynn decided to give herself a haircut. She came downstairs and said "Look Mommy yucky", as she holds out a handful of hair. First thought before looking up was maybe she got into my round brush or something disgusting, then I looked up and saw the scalping. I was not mad at her, only myself for not putting the scissors up higher and for the fact that she doesn't have a whole lot of hair and so every strand is precious. I went upstairs to see where her little curls lay. There they were on the bathroom floor. I had to document "her" first haircut. Now we are doing the comb over for awhile. Like my sister-in-law Megan (a hairstylist) said, "I've seen worse". It was only a matter of time before she did this. I cut mine and my brother Kyle's when we were little. I am so glad Avery was sleeping. She too could have had this beautimus hairdo. It grows back, right? No worries just creativity on how to style it now!

Jaxon's Piano Recital

Ok, so this was a few weeks ago, but I am alway behind. My nephew James was also in the recital. Both boys did an awesome job. I love to see how much they have learned. Michelle Behrmann is there teacher and is fabulous!
