Join the club...

All my life I have found myself going through the same cycle...I grow my hair out long, and then I chop it all off, grow it long, chop it off. Two years ago when I did my last chop don't worry not my last haircut, I still get my trims the girl suggested donating it to Locks of Love, so I did. On Thursday I went in for my much needed haircut and decided I might as well do the chop and donate again. The following day my sister Emily inspired by me chopped her hair and donated it too. And from that sprung the idea of making a tradition (club) of it. I invited my sister Dawn to join us, but her husband has a thing for long hair so she declined. Don't worry Dawn we still love you. But now Emily and I want to extend the invitation to all of our long haired friends out there and no offense to the short haired ones...go chop and donate your hair! It's time for a new Spring do, it's an easy way to lose some weight;) and most importantly it's for a great cause!




***That's Emily's hair at the top, she donated a whopping 14 inches! I only had 11 to give. And the girl cutting my hair told me about a lady who just donated 51 inches (I find that much hair a little disturbing)

Easter...Bounce Catch...Gloves

We had a fun time decorating Easter eggs. Owen and Steph came over on Saturday, unfortunatley Owen had to leave before the decorating fun began.








Kaitlyn was just interested in making the eggs pink, and she ended up dropping and cracking only 3 of them. Makenzie was only interested in slobbering and spitting up all over my shoulder.



Kaitlyn really enjoyed the Easter egg hunt in our empty living and dining room (don't you just love her nap hair and chocolate face) She had some fierce competition with Steph for the eggs but I think Kaitlyn came out on top...although I do reacall seeing Kaitlyn grab some eggs out of Steph's basket.



Makenzie was just happy to watch.

SO after Easter dinner Nate introduced us to the game Bounce Catch. We were a little skeptical at first but it turned out to be a big hit! Dan, Owen, Nate and DJ ended up having a full on tournament. It's a pretty long video, but her'e the championship round :







And this is Kaitlyn and her latest fettish...GLOVES. Mostly it's after she washes her hands but some other radom times she says "my hands are freezing cold, I need gloves." And she will just keep them on for who knows how long.

Look Alikes?

Something I've been wanting to do for awhile was to dress Makenzie up in one of Kaitlyn's old outfits and try to take a similar looking picture to compare how much they look alike. I got the outfit right, but I wasn't quite as successful with the picture.













Can you tell which baby is who???
Kaitlyn or Makenzie













To me they look totally different. Dan says they look the same but he knew who was who because he used to have the picture of Kaitlyn in his wallet. What do you think?

Our Trip to Texas

Last week Makenzie, Kaitlyn, and I took a trip to Texas to visit my parents, my sister Cherry and her kids who we haven't seen in more than a year, and Emily and her kids. We also got to see a lot of my aunt Steph who is basically like a sister since we're so close in age and she even lived with us for a few years. Dan had to spend the week in AZ so he missed out on all the fun but he did get to have fun with Dawn and Chad.

My parents just moved to TX so it was fun to go through and see all of the stuff that had been in storage while they were living in Hawaii...it brought back a lot of old memories.

Kaitlyn LOVED having cousins to play with, and since we've been home she's been asking to play with all of them. This was the first time that we got to meet Max in person since he's been born. And like I mentioned in a previous post he his such a happy and a sweet little boy, I just feel SO AWFUL about his little finger. Yes that is a sock on his hand to help prevent him from using it

Besides attempting to go through my parents piles and piles and piles of stuff and causing a traumatizing trip to the hospital, we played at the park, watched some cheesey movies, played some Rock Band, jumped on the trampoline, went to the zoo, and ate at Cheesecake Factory.

We had so much fun, but I think Kaitlyn might miss Texas the most. She will occasionally pitch fits because she doesn't want to be back in Utah, she wants to be at Gramdma's house (or Emily's house) in Texas. In her own words "I no like Utah, I like Texas"

And because she's so stinkin cute all bundled up...I just couldn't resist

2 Months

Today Makenzie is 2 months old. I can't believe how much faster time flies when you're not pregnant. She is just growing up so fast. She has started smiling and cooing all the time. Although she wouldn't cooperate with me while she was getting her picture taken. She especially loves to smile at and talk to Kaitlyn, which I just think is so adorable. It's so fun to see little inklings of her personality coming out. We just love her so much!
