My new hair!

My little sister was here last weekend and cut my hair. I love it so much I had to post it on here. Plus she styled it the day these pictures were taken, and I'm not sure if it will ever look like that again. It made me feel so young!!!

Sleep

I've been noticing sleep a lot lately. Maybe because I am so thankful my kids go to bed so easily and rarely with a fight. I've been watching everyone in my house sleep lately, a new obsession I guess.

Last week I came home from work and this is what I found in my bed! All 3 of them sound asleep in my bed. It was cute and a nice surprise.

Last weekend my mom came to see us and brought a bunch of dolls and stuffed animals that were mine when I was young. My kids have become quite attached to them. I went into to Bella's room the other night to watch her sleep, and I found a doll and a stuffed animal nicely laid on her pillow and her crunched on the side, with no pillow. She was asleep with a smile on her face too! I was just too cute to not take a picture of.

This happened a few weeks ago, but I am slow on my postings.

The kids wanted to ride their sleds, but the dog wanted to play. And our dog is extremely energentic! So I hooked the sled up to the dog, and the dog when wild running all over the yard pulling the kids. I don't remember the last time I laughed that hard, as both the kids were giggling hysterically also. The dog was going all over the yard weaving in and out of bushes and trees and under the tramp and around etc. It was sure a great way to harness is energy without him jumping the fence and running away (which he likes to do.)

Ice Skating

Our schedules have been very busy lately. Jared and I seem to never be home at the same time. So last week, we both happened to be home at the same time, so we jumped at the opportunity to spend some time together as a family. So we went ice skating. I haven't ice skated in years, so I was a little nervous as to which bone I WOULD break. (I say would, because as most of you know, I'm a little clumsy).

They had buckets for the kids to push around (well and Jared too, he wasn't real sturdy), so they were able to skate themselves and balance them selves.



By the end of the time Tyler was getting pretty brave and stopped using the bucket. He had some good falls, but no one broke anything!




Jared would push Izzy around on the bucket and she would sqeal and go WE WE WE!! Fast! Fast! Fast! The whole time. She thought it was great fun.
