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.

Out numbered

Andy is feeling a little out numbered these days. With three women with all our emotions and girl stuff. I just keep telling him just wait until October when there is one more to gain up on him.
Yep it is a girl!

The Bad Store

We were reading scriptures last night and we at the point were it talks about Joseph Smith being tared and feathered this is how our conversation went

T: What is that?
M: Tar
T: What is tar?
M: Something that is really sticky and it hurts him.
T: Like when you leave a sticker on for along time it is really sticky and hurts to pull off.
M: Yeah something like that.
T: where did they get it?
M: I don't know?
T: They must of got it from the bad store.
M: The bad store?
T: yeah where all the mean guys go to get their mean stuff. And the store probably just throw them out and gave them the tar.

Yeah sometimes I wonder if she gets the right things out of the scriptures?

I love you Mom

I just wanted to say how luck I am to have the Mom, Mother-in-law, and Grandmas that I have. I want to wish them all a happy Mother's day! We want to say Thank you for all that you do. WE LOVE YOU!

Mother's Day!

My Heart is so full today! This Mother's Day was wonderful! I woke up to a very very excited little girl that couldn't wait for me to open the present she made for me at her preschool. She has had it sent on top of the entertainment center since Tuesday when she brought it home. Saying couple times each day that is a surprise for Mother's Day you can look yet! She also would pick me dandelions through out the week for Mother's day. We had a couple of tears as a few died before the wonderful day. Oh how luck I am to be a the Mother of such wonderful little girls! The Lord has blessed me.

The presents keep coming as the home made cards where proudly given and the secret shirts she help Dad pick out just for me. She was so excited to be there at give the things she made just for me and the Hugs kept coming too through out the day. Oh how I love her.

Andy was wonderful also she made breakfast and help get the girls ready for church. It is so nice having him home. We ate our eggs and sausage on the run to church (we woke up a little late). We got there and Tayla had forgot her little song book that she wanted to "sing" from when they got up to sing the Mother's Day Song. She was in tears she want everything to be perfect for Mother's Day. My sweet husband being the wonderful father he is rush home to grab the song book for his little girl returning before it was her turn to sing. Her proud smiling little face was so precious as she sang out the word of the song pretending to use the little black hymnal her dad retrieved for her.

We returned home and had a nice Sunday nap and ate a wonderful meal that was prepared on the grill by Andy and enjoyed each other for the little time we had before Andy headed back to Punxsutawney.

Oh how luck I am! My cup runnth over!
