GUM in hair...

So, the kids were jumping on the trampolien the other morning...and Taelin comes in holding her hair, and on the shortest part of her hair (she has long side bangs naturally) on the bottom, there is a big blue gob of GUM!

I told her, "Taelin, I thought I told you no candy on the trampolien!"
Taelin: "Mommy, gum is not candy, its gum!"
Mommy: "Ok, hold your hair, let's go cut it."
Taelin: "Hurry, its getting so heavy! and my arm is tired."

So, now she has short hair. She really likes it, and kept starring at herself in the mirror all day, but i think she's used to it now and loves it. Less brushing!

Catch up!

So, life here has been busy but laid back all at the same time. We are still getting projects finished, attending family functions and trying to keep up with the new school schedule. So far, so good. courtney was here until Sept. 5th, and oh what a blessing that was for our family! This was the first baby we had meals brought in (what another blessing), the first baby with someone here and now my mom is helping me. What a blessing family and friends are! I am learning that asking for help is so much better than trying to do it alone! :)

Other than having grouchy kids this week (anyone want a diffiant 2 year old and a grouchy mean word spilling 4 year old?!) we are all doing great and loving baby Evan. Taelin is enjoying joyschool on tuesdays, Chase is LOVING (as long as he's fed before he goes) preschool 3 days a week and gymnastics on Tuesdays too. Kelton LOVES his first grade teacher, and says that she's super fun cause she plays games with them all day (if she can trick him into thinking learning is just games, you go Ms. Gill!). I LOVE snuggling with baby Evan and have actually really enjoyed him in the middle of the night (something i've never said before)! Daddy is busy at work and just got called into the Young Men's as Scout Master (he's psyched).

I'm trying to get announcements out soon! :) Life is busy...but wouldn't have it any other way! :)
