Hair Cut Time.

2011-05-09T17:39:00.000-07:00

Samantha cut her own hair one day doing her nap. Get to love it? Right

Kirra did not cut her hair but since we where going to get Samantha's hair cut. We had hers cut too.

The girls hair after the cuts. Samantha's hair was so short it took me a long time to get use to it But now I like it. It still is short and you can not do much with it because I would say i t makes her look a little older. Kirra's did not really change but I think it looks good. Maybe now her hair will grow faster. Hopefully the girls get mommy's hair and it will all grow fast. Like maybe by next year at this time Samantha will have her long hair back. I will say that I have started liking her short hair but I could do so much with her long hair I miss that.

Breakfast outside.

2011-04-05T19:14:00.000-07:00

What cute kids I have.

Saturday was a nice day it was 78 degrees before 9:00am. The girls wanted eggs and bacon for breakfast. Than they asked if we could go outside to eat. Like we do when we are visiting me parents in Lake Havasu City, AZ. I could not say no to their cute faces. So breakfast outside it was. We had a good time but Kirra was so scared of a little fly. I told her to go inside and asked Samantha to finish eating inside at the table. It was fun will it lasted. Later in the day we all want outside to enjoy the day because Sunday was so windy and cold it started to snow. Only in Colorado do we have 80 plus temps and the next day it is snowing. Get to love it.

The balloons did not start going up till the sun was up watch was about 7:00. We sat there and people watched for a long time.

Is it snow or hail???

This is not snow it is hail. It hailed here for 30 minutes non-stop. We had penny size hail for about the first 15 minutes. I pulled my car into the garage. But after thinking about it I should have left it outside and hoped it get some damage. It needs a new paint job. I am just kidding I am glad I pulled it in there. It hailed really hard. I just had to take pictures and show what the weather here can do in minutes here.

My dad said it best why do the girls need toys. The girls played all week with no toys. They played on the golf carts and outside the whole time. It was like they never miss them him. They had the porch to play on and carts and that is all they need. We had a great time down there with them. This was the trip where things broke. First Samantha's glasses broke. The ear piece broke off and we had to have it soldered back on. That meant she want without glasses for a day. Next at 5:30 in the morning I thought I heard thunder and really hard rain. But what I heard was the water pipe outside the window broke and water going everywhere. Next and last my car. But all get fixed and all is will. Ever thought all this we still had a great time.

Sticking my tongue out to Eli.

The girls and I on the London Bridge. You have to drive on it to get to my mom and dad's house. They live on the island. This was our last day to go and do stuff. As we going to the park my car started to smell fun. When we get out Eli opened the hood and my a.c. compress broke. So we had to go back to my mom's house and take her car to the parts store to get a new one. When we get to the parts store they told us that they did not have the part and they would have to order it. We told them to order it and it would be there the next day. So we back and Eli took out the broken part and we just hang out around my parents place. I love just sitting on my parents porch and watching people on their boats go by. The next day we go to do some last minute shopping and my dad watched the girls play at the beach. My mom, Eli and I go to the parts store and Eli goes in. My mom and I seat in the car thinking this is taken to long. So I get out of the car to go in and check. They ordered the wrong part and comes to found out they had the part the while time. But we still had a great time just hanging out with my parents. I would love to thank them for letting us stay with them and for everything they have done. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND WE LOVE YOU NONA AND PAPA.

I am an on-call teller for an other bank here in the springs. I would like at be a part time or full time teller but I will take on-call for now. I am just happy that I have a job and I am bring money back into the house. The girls are being watched by our daycare lady's daughter here at our house. So that is good for the girl because they get to stay home and play. Christyann watches them here with her son. Who just loves the girls. I am told that he just loves Kirra and goes where she goes. The funny thing is he a one and a day younger than she is. So they must have a connection. Samantha loves it because she gets her hair done differently everyday and her nails are always done so cute. I just love it because I do not have to go anywhere to get them I just come home. I open the door and Kirra comes running yelling "Mommy Mommy", and I get a big hug and than I can not put her down. Do not get me wrong I am so happy to have a job but I do miss being home with them. Maybe one day I can stay home with them and not have to think about paying bills. We can all hope can't we.

My new hobby.

2010-01-12T20:42:00.000-08:00

This are just the headbands that I did in the last two nights. One of my friends gave the girl some clips for their hair she made and I really liked them. So one day I want shopping and found some ribbon and some clips for cheap. Lets just say that the girl will not run out of them anytime soon. One of my other friends said that I should make them and sell them. I think that would be great but who would I sell them to and for how much? I do not know all I know she that I just really making them. I gives me something to do will the girls play besides me watching t.v.,play me DS or being my cros -stitch. I look they look good. If anyone wants one just email or leave a comment on the blog and I will get one to you.

Samantha get two of the same things for her birthday. Aunt Chelsea and Uncle Brandon get her a TAG and so did Eli and I. Eli and I bought ours about four months ago on sale at Kmart before the one in the mall closed. Chelsea get hers at Kohl's. So now we have to but we are keeping them both because Kirra can play with one when she gets older. We all had so much fun at Fargo's. We set right next to the piano and the girls would run over and play it every time anyone would put money in it to play it. I really think that some of the people just liked watch them play it and dance around that they would put money in it just to watch them. It played almost the whole time we where there. Thank you so much for everything. Samantha had a great day. I just can not believe that my little girl is 4 now. Thanks.
