Whoo Hoo Me!

I am SO proud of myself!  My boys have needed haircuts for a while now, but the cost etc, etc has kept me from taking them .  I usually just do some type of a buzz cut but I can not stand it.  It just doesn't look good on them.  Their hair likes to stick up in places that I don't want it to, and they always want it spiky but I can't ever get it to.  So today I got fed up and decided I would try doing what "proffesionals" do to them.  I have watched what they do and we had a Relief Society activity day that a few of the cometologist in the ward showed different ways to do hair and one girl showed how to cut boys hair. 

I figured if I messed it up then I could just shave it off and it wouldn't matter too much, since it's not like they have gorgeous long flowing hair.  So I took out my hair scissors (yes I have some) and the comb and started.  I am simply amazed that it turned out so well.  I was for sure that I was going to have to just buzz it all off.  Nope I didn't... I just can't get over how well I think I did.  I think I deserve a pat on the back =) 

(Patting myself on the back now)

HERE ARE THE FINISHED RESULTS!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

 My little buddy Dallas

He was trying not to smile, but he couldn't help it cause I said the name of a girl
  in his class that he says he likes. 

The other day he told me that 2 girls told him that they "LOVE HIM" and he came home so proud. (haha)

How can you NOT love this cute little face?

Dakota told me he wasn't going to smile cause he DID NOT want

his picture taken.  Well I am the mom so of course I got my way.

They both were kinda embarrased cause I kept telling them how cute they were.

But they ARE!  I think I will save that extra money and do it myself

for now on. 

YAY ME!!!

Sammy the Musician

Sammy Loves to sing and play the guitar.  Maybe one day Grandpa Steele will teach her how to really play 

it!

My Experiment was a....

BUST!

I really really tried to do it, but lets face it.  I am not very good at remembering.  I also have 5 kids.  I am thankful for the time I do get to have to myself -with the ongoing "mom, mom, mom", at least I know that they need me.  HAHA

Sorry if anyone was looking forward to reading them.... I just couldn't remember to do it!

We Forgot Halloween... Well Almost

Here are the pictures of the kids for Halloween....  I can't believe I forgot to post them! (ok, I can)

 My little Dorothy aka Savanah

Wish we had some red glittered shoes

Oh well

Then we can't forget Glenda the Good Witch

aka Samantha

My sister Andrea makes her kids' costumes every year!  So luckily my kids are just a little younger than hers so I get to borrow them every year!  She is pretty awesome.

 Every year I try and try to convince my kids to be something scary, But NO!  Until this year.  I finally convinced Dakota that it would be fun to dress Scary.  I think he had fun. 

Thats what Halloween is all about, isn't it?

No convincing Dallas though.  He just had to be a

"Wolverine"

 Shelby did somewhat scary.

Dead Skateboarder?

The most cutest kids in the WORLD!

Even More winter Fun... (pictures)

 She wanted to help so bad.  The shovel was bigger than her though.

She just kept trying and trying which is all I can ask for of my kids

 I was looking at this picture wondering where all the weeds came from only to realize it's not our backyard but our neighbors.

 We were trying to build a fort, but it was taking way to long and it was funner just to play in the snow

Dallas had a PJ day at school... He LOVES these feet pajamas.  He also had to wear the boots because there was so much snow ; )

Winter Fun.. Mommy and Dallas

With all the snow we got this Holiday, me and Dallas decided to take advantage of it the first day.  Everyone else was being babies just kidding.

So we ventured out in the snow and decided to build us the coolest snowman...

Can you see Gunner sitting right there by him?  He is such a good Dog
I really don't care for animals because I think they stink, but he sure is part
of the Family!

(I don't know who that horrible looking person is next to that handsome little boy)

We sure had a lot of Fun... I love that he loves to build things! 

He definately is my little buddy

I had so much fun with you Dallas.  I LOVE YOU!

2010 Snowstorm

December 21, 2010
 was supposed to be the last day of school before the Christmas Holiday.
Well when we woke up that morning, this is what we found outside.....
(There was NOTHING the day before)

So we turned on the news to just see if it was going to be a snow day....

and the snow just kept on coming and coming

That is a LOT of snow for one little table.

Chad looks little out there, THANK GOODNESS for a

Snow Plow!  (thanks to Chads work)

 

Shelby stuck in the mop handle to show how deep it was!

coming and coming

They said that ALL buses in Nebo school district was shut down, all parents be careful when taking your children to school... What?  If the buses aren't safe to drive then I am not safe to drive ; )  So I decided to declare it a Snow Day for our Family!

They eventually shut down the schools as well because the snow just kept coming and coming and coming.  We had over 18" of Snow.  It was so Fun!

Poor Gunners Dog house collapsed with all that snow...  It was good protection for him while it lasted.  I think we put it up in October, so it only lasted a few months.  Even his Kennel (chain link) was under there, so not only did we lose the "shelter" but we also lost his kennel.

Sammy sure had a lot of fun

You could hardly see my candycanes by 9 am...

and you almost couldn't see Sammy it was so Deep!

Sure was a FUN Day though...

Ok... Now I am ready for the

SUN!

Day 21: (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

Go to the hospital and be by her side.  You are best friends for a reason.  People fight... even best friends, but it just makes you a better person. 

My sister was in an accident on the 28th of August and I almost lost her (3 times).  On Aug. 27th I had said some things about her that was bothering me to my other sister, and the next day I almost lost her.

Things bother others because everyone is different.  Everyone has their own ways of doing things and have different qualities.  Their own opinions.  That is why people fight.  If we didn't fight there would be no point being here cause that is how we are learning.

Blah blah blah... I'm done
