Locks of Love

Tayla  decided a long time ago that she wanted to give her hair to someone who doesn't have any hair. When she 1st heard of it she thought she could cut her hair and give it to Amerie because she didn't have any hair. So she would go around saying "I am going to cut my hair and give it to Amerie so she can have hair too!" Well we decided to get the job done by the best hair dresser in Utah while we where there this summer.  

 (Thanks Steph).

Afterwards.

The Back

She looked so grown up. When did my baby girl get so big? This is her real first hair cut. I have trimmed it twice before but never Cut Cut it. I am so proud of her that she wanted to donate it to someone who could use it. We took off 10 inches! She has such a giving spirit. She loves her new haircut. She tells me all the time that "she looks like Grandma Carter but she has black hair." or " I like that my hair isn't so hot on my neck" or "I look like a princess now mom." She is such a sweet girl. We love her so much and can not imagine our lives without her.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

We were fortunate to have some good friends that gave us tickets for seats right behind the home plate for the Pittsburgh Pirate game back in Aug. We love that we are so close to the two major league fields. We love going to the games and the girls love it too.

Dancing  while on the big screen 

There was a George Thorogood concert at the end of the game and Fireworks. The music was so loud we couldn't make out any of the lyrics and I had no idea who he was, so the concert was kinda a bust but the fireworks were great. Amerie was asleep in my arms when the music began then about the 3rd song in she threw up all over me and the floor. I am pregnant at the time and the smell start me gagging I was real proud of myself that I didn't add to the mess that Amerie had just  made. I think that the vibrations from the music must of made her sick because she was acting fine before and after she threw up. And we could feel the beat so strong from the seat because they were so close.
