Family Pictures

On Saturday morning my mom had all of us over for a big breakfast and then we went to Aunt Julie and Uncle Doug's for family pictures. Half of the family didn't get the memo to wear dark solid colored shirts...but at least we got a picture of everyone together before Sam left.Here is mom with all her grandchildren. Tony and I got there early so we had Aunt Julie snap a few pictures of the 5 of us before everyone else got there.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're off to celebrate Thanksgiving in Rexburg...My baby brother Sammy is leaving on his mission to Recife, Brazil and will be speaking at church on Sunday which is the main reason for going to Rexburg. He flys to Brazil Tuesday morning....Good Luck little brother!

Here are a few recent pictures of the kid and the kittens. We're still looking for homes for 3 of them...Who wants a Christmas Kitty?? They will be ready for homes the week of Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving! Don't get crushed in the BLACK FRIDAY crowds.... ;-)

It's an ebay Christmas!

I LOVE making Christmas albums! I can't wait to get started on more....

I've been crying all morning...

I walked downstairs this morning to check on the kids who were watching a movie in the office...I noticed something dark on the carpet in the living room and picked it up - it was a curly lock of hair. I noticed a couple more and my heart started pounding...As I entered the office I started screaming....

Half of Bronwyn's hair was gone! Right down to the scalp in front and back.

I asked Bronwyn who did it and she pointed to Julius...I yelled at him "WHAT were you doing!?" He said: "I was making her hair like Daddy's". Tony thought it was hilarious but I started sobbing.

After a quick call to my mom for some sympathy I took her upstairs and chopped the rest off. It broke my heart! I love my baby girl's sweet hair... Now it is shorter than her brothers'. I think I fixed it alright considering what I had to work with. We've been online researching hair growth products for biracial hair. She still has a bald spot in the back - but hopefully it will fill in quickly.

Notice the bald spot on the back....and I'm not talking about Tony!

Guess what though....She still looks beautiful!

Our Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year! We trick or treated around the neighboorhood and handed out candy at home. The kids watched Casper three times on Netflix - "Watch in Now" and Tony and I played two games of scrabble in between answering the door. Princess Jasmine - Bronwyn
