Hair

The other day I was wondering what it would be like to "do" Maisy's hair. Seeing how I didn't really have the opportunity until fairly recently when she started to get some, I feel I have missed out on a lot of practice. Now that she has hair and I technically could "do" it I have discovered, and I will be the first to admit, that I do not possess enough control or patience for this to happen. So, Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins etc. I would like to give a blanket apology for the fact that this is as close as I got to a ponytail and probably the most "done" her hair will be. I am open to suggestions, tips, tricks and/or just acceptance for the beautifully wild hair on my child's head.

At least she is brushing her teeth!

Drawing

We got so excited when we saw this picture! Maisy drew her first princess! She may not be the most beautiful princess to most people, but we think she is lovely! Maisy drew everything but the triangle, which I believe she thought was a crown. We are proud parents!

Tiger

Maisy loves her Tiger and she decided they should have a sleepover so she took blankets and pillows from her room and set up little beds. I was surprised to find them "napping" in the hallway!

I can't find the picture but she wrapped up Tiger and put her in the pantry for a nap. I guess she thought Tiger would be snuggly buggly next to the pasta?

Sweet Baby Ray

When we were in SLC we had a special treat. We got to meet and help care for sweet baby Ray. Ramir needed someone to take care of him until he met his new family from Nebraska. He is a very special little guy and we're so glad we got to meet him! Maisy was great with him, wanted to give him lots of kisses. It was a little window into the future. I'm excited and scared to what happens in February. I'll need lots of help in figuring how to do it with more than 1 bubba!

Tomorrow we have our ultra sound and will be able to find out if it's a boy or a girl....but we're not going to. We want to be surprised!

It's kind of hard to tell what's going on here, but this was Kensie's volleyball tournament. I didn't catch it in the picture, but she had a big spike and this is about to be the celebration!

That bottom picture is Matt with little Ramir or sweet baby Ray as we call him.

Happy Birthday at the Zoo

We went to the Zoo today for Jenny's Birthday. Not quite the same as the "big city" zoo, but we had lots of fun looking at the animals. We forgot the camera, so we did not get as many pictures as we wanted, but we did get these from the cell phone.

Couponing is worth it!

Matt and I had our best trip to the grocery store yet. We saved $69.08! I just had to brag a little bit. It pays to pay attention and use your coupons! Woo hoo!

Know of a good book?

I'm in need of a good book. The last good book I read was The Glass Castle and I would love another page turner like that. At the end of the day I like to escape into a book, usually a thriller of some sort. I'm thinking of ordering the new Dan Brown book, but it isn't available for a couple weeks. Any recommendations in the meantime? I would appreciate it!
