Hair

So lately I've been a little tired of the same everyday hairstyles for my girls. We've tried some fun ones we've found online. I'm not sure who dreams these styles up but they are really creative. Most of them are so easy too. Here are some of the ones that I have remembered to take pictures of.

McCall around Easter...notice the eggs

Same do from behind...(in her pajamas at the END of the day)

The other day I came into Hayden's room and found this guy on the floor.

Kind of creative?...

new table

A new table has been at the top of my priority list for a long time. Unfortunately, it's not too high on Jeremy's list. We got this table 11 years ago because Jeremy's parents were getting a new table. It is REALLY old...like the table Jeremy had growing up old. I thought that maybe this would be the year...but no such luck. My sister is really into painting and restoring old furniture. She talked me into trying to paint the table. I was sceptical. I had no idea what I was doing. I looked (and sounded) like a huge idiot in Home Depot as I tried to gather the supplies I would need. It took a good 2 days to finish but I am pretty happy with the results. I think it is a definite improvement.
Before...on my birthday...notice the lovely Target chairs we puchased when the old ones broke one by one.

After...we found these chairs for cheap on Craigslist...the people we bought them from didn't have kids so they were in perfect condition.

Maybe another painting project someday?

Basketball 2010

Even though we are well into baseball, I wanted to post a few pictures of basketball this year. Austin was on a great team and had a really fun time. He had a great coach and he learned a lot.
He is in the middle in the gray shorts.

Austin got glasses for the first time that he was able to wear in the last couple games. He is glad to be able to see the hoop now.

Ainsley Siena

Ainsley is bad at church. We can usually make it to sacrament meeting but not much longer. She enjoys spilling crackers, pulling her sisters' hair, yelling, crying, and running up the isles. She spends a lot of time in the halls. She is getting bigger and smarter. Most of the time when you ask her what her name is, she says "Ainsley Siena cutie pie!" It is hard to believe that she will soon be 2!

She is at a difficult age. She loves to pull things out of drawers, cupboards, and closets. She is really good at making messes. If you ask her to clean it up she says "No, Mommy do it." It is hard to discipline her because she makes us laugh.

She can count to 14 and kind of say the ABC's. She likes to read me stories. She likes to rip books. She is good at stealing lollipops and can hide really fast if she needs to. We love our little Ainsley.

Spring Training

Parker was able to go with his dad, grandpa, and uncles to spring training in Arizona. He was so excited. He had so much fun watching the games and spending time with everyone. His only mishap (that I've heard of...) was throwing up 3 times on the way home (including on some man on the shuttle van to the airport) and causing Uncle Chris to lose his cookies too...sorry Uncle Chris!

At 4:30 in the morning...he is so excited!

Dodgers fan... one of the coaches even threw him a ball!

Parker LOVES Uncle Darsey!

Now Parker is ready for baseball season to begin! This is right before his 1st game on the Padres.
