The Hack Job!

Okay the dreaded pictures of Emma's lovely hair cut!! Poor Clara was involved too! I haven't seen her new do, but I hear its cute! I'm pretty sure Coen learned his lesson. He got grounded from his favorite things, so lets hope this never happens again!! Love You Coen and Emma, please no more unscheduled hair cuts!!!

The hack job!!

At least if we need a mullet, Coen's our man!!

No he didn't use the plastic scissors!!

The after.....

Fixed!!! Yay, shes so cute, I just really loved her long hair!

Whirlwind.....

Well Hello!!! Its been a whirlwind of the last month! Ill tell you, so many times I just wanted to crawl in a hole! We have been really blessed in our lives so far and I think the Lord was trying to get me to realize how much worse life could be. I'm so thankful that its not worse, really, things could be so much worse! Anyway, here is a bit of whats been going on! So first, last month I was down visiting my mom and we were spending the night. At about 10:30 pm on a Wednesday night a drunk driver decided to plow into our van! It was a nightmare from then on for about 4 weeks! When all was said and done, we came out with 3 new car seats, a car seat stroller system, and a new van!! Oh and a ton of stress and headaches!!! Our new van is so nice though! We are really blessed! We have wonderful families too! Both Doug's parents and my mom were so great through all of it. They helped more than we could have ever asked for! We love you all! My mom is really great, she helped me out emotionally almost daily. I just had a really hard time understanding why good hard working honest people like ourselves could get so totally screwed over by other peoples careless mistakes! I guess its a lesson that's hard to learn! Anyway, now that I have written a book.... the other really big thing is one week after having our van smashed, Doug comes home and tells me he no longer has a job after two weeks. They have closed the Franklin Covey store where he has worked for 5 years! So we are currently unemployed!! Yay! More time with Doug, but not so much money! Oh well. So that's that!!!

Now on to my beautiful kids!!! We were at my moms one Sunday and took the kids bikes, it was beautiful outside!! So here are some pictures from that! I got the kids these totally cool hats!! love them!

These were another day at my moms, we have spent a lot of time there lately!! Anyway, Coen was helping my mom make cinnamon rolls (i think) and was having so much fun in the flour!!

Pictures

I had so much fun taking pictures of the kids last week! They are growing so fast and so cute! I just love them! Ive been going a little crazy lately, Lyla has been wanting me to hold her all the time and the other kids are just ignoring me whenever they get the chance. So its been really hard to get anything done around the house. Oh well, they are so cute, I love each of their unique personalities. They all at their own time crack me up too! Anyway, sorry for so many pictures but I just had a lot of favorites! Enjoy!

Cute Girls!

These girls are so funny! They just go crazy when they see each other! Its so cute! This was labor day and they were just having so much fun together. Aren't they the cutest!??

Cereal...

Lyla started eating cereal a while ago but I never posted her cut face while eating it for the first time! She was so excited! It was really funny! Isn't she just adorable! She has been really fussy the last few days, not sleeping or anything. I don't know what is wrong with her. I love her though!

Emma's Party!

Emma had a fun Birthday Party! She loved all her presents, especially her bike!! Nanna (my mom) did the cake! Isn't it cute? Emma loved it! Thank you to all who came and for the presents!! She very much loved them!! I still just cant believe she is 3! I love her so much!

Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday to my Sweet Girl!!

I cant believe that Emma is 3! It just seems like yesterday that she was a baby. I even sometimes call Lyla Emma. Its a little sad in a way that she is growing so fast! I love her so much! She has such a sweet personality. She is a little stubborn, but is the sweetest little girl! I'm so thankful she is a part of our family! She brings a wonderful spirit to our home. I love you Emma so much! And your daddy does too, you are his princess!! We all love you and hope you have a wonderful happy birthday!!!

Lyla

Lyla is getting so big! She will be 6 months old next week! I cant believe it! I'm such a terrible mom, I never take pictures unless we are doing something. I know its bad! Anyway, I figured I hadn't taken her picture in the bath since like her first bath, so we did some! She is such a cutie! She is still a really good baby, she demands a little more attention now that she is getting older, but she is so fun!!

Love that sly grin!

The kids just love her still! They are always on her and trying to play with her!
