Ella and the scissors.

After the hair cut

Getting a hair cut

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Before the hair cut

A few weeks ago Isabella decided to cut her hair again. Out of all my kids she is the only one that has down this. I guess she was trying to pierce her ears with a rounded pair of scissors but instead she decided to cut her hair. I didn't know about the hair being cut until I was combing her hair out. I freaked because a big clump of hair fell out. So I took her straight to the salon to get her hair cut. Here is our journey.

Jana Needs

A friend of mine has a friend on her blog that started this little game. First you need to go to Google and type in your name followed by the word needs , for example Jana needs, than you need to write down the first 10 things that come up. I didn't do the first 10 because one of them was not appropriate for this blog.Here is mine.

Preschool

Nathaniel and I went this morning to meet his preschool teacher. He is so excited but maybe not as excited as I am. We will go school shopping in a few days for school. He will be going to school 2 days a week for 2 hours. His teacher, Mrs. Billings, taught Lea preschool when she was 3. Chayanne didn't attend her preschool because we moved to Payson that year. It was nice to visit with her for a few minutes. She has been teaching preschool for 20 yrs and she is also LDS. She is a neat lady.
Nathaniel will be starting school next Tuesday. I will take his first day pictures and post on here when that day comes.

Chayanne's Birthday

The Finished Cake

Frosting the cake

Shapeing the Cake

Well this is the last birthday in our family until next year. Hurray Hurray!!! Chayanne turned 9 yrs old this past Saturday. I decided to surprise her with a slumber party with 2 of her best friends"in the whole wide world". It was hard to keep a secret like this from her for a week. Chayanne got to take cupcakes to school last Friday so I did that after I baked her birthday cake. I had to hide the smell of cake baking from her so I thought this was a great cover up. My mother in-law found a jean cake on Betty Crocker.com and that is what I made. My friend Julie came over and helped me frost the cake on Friday. It was a lot of fun to make. The party was great too. We really had Chayanne surprised.
C-Caring
H-Hugs everyone she knows
A-Artistic
Y-Yearning the learn all she can
A-Always willing to help out with baby brother

Chayanne, I love you so much and I am very proud of all your accomplishments. You bring a great spirit into our family.Happy Birthday

Sad story

I was at work yesterday evening when an older gentleman came up to me. He had explained that his wife just passed away a few months ago. He than said that he had this big 5 bedroom house. He is renting them out to foreign student and he needed to get them in living conditions. Well he came into Wal-Mart to find some sheets for the beds. He started crying saying that is wife took care of all the purchases for things like this. He was at a lost when it came to buy sheets for beds. I explained to him what 200 count, 300 count met and showed him the ones we had on sale. He was still crying when I also explained to him that he need a fitted sheet and a top sheet for each bed. I helped him pick out colors and also explained what the difference between the sheet where.
This got me thinking all night about what I needed to learn in case I was ever in this situation. I asked Dan if he knew the difference between top and fitted sheets. It is the little things that count when something terrible happens to a spouse. I know Dan had mentioned to me that he would be lost if something ever was to happen to me when it came to paying the bills. I don't get paper bills I do this all on-line. So I am going to write everything down so that I could make things easier if there was ever anything that happened.
This terrible thing could mean a lot of things. Some to mention, death, an illness, being in the hospital for any type of surgery....I am sure you all get the picture. I feel it is very important to be together on everything. I know we shouldn't be thinking about this but we need to be prepared for what ever comes our way. I am going to write down what I need to learn from Dan so that I can be prepared. I hope we live a very very long life together but anything could happen.
I pray every morning with a heart full of gratitude for all I have, even my husband. I literally would be lost without him. He is the best Hubby in the world.
Just a little thought. Thank You for listening, or reading :)

Twilight Saga

WOW!!!!! I have finished reading Breaking Dawn. These series are just amazing. That is all I could about while reading the books. My family is happy to have me back. I have read all 4 book in 2 weeks. I need a little break. Reading these books were so intense. I usually don't like reading book over after reading them again because I already know the ending, but I could read these books over and over and over. I can't wait until the movie comes out. I highly recommend reading the Twilight Saga.

First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school. Lea is in 6Th grade. She likes her teachers but doesn't like the fact that she has to carry her book bag every where she goes. I told her to get use to it because she won't get a locker for Jr. High next year. She has 2 main teachers that she will be bouncing back and forth for her classes.
Chayanne is in the 4Th grade. She is in the gifted program for the 4Th and 5Th grade class. She will be doing a little bit of both grades this year. I think this will be good for her so she doesn't get bored. She loves her teacher because the teacher really likes art. Chayanne wants to be an artist when she grows up so this will be good.
I missed them yesterday but i was also glad they were gone. It was a long summer and I knew the girls were ready for school. I don't miss the fighting and yelling thats for sure. Nathaniel and Ella don't know what to do with themselves since their entertainers are gone all day.
I hoping sometime this month Nathaniel will be in preschool. He is on a waiting list so well shall see.

A Few Days Off

Well I am now a working mommy. It is kind of hard..okay okay it is hard work. I am bending down all the time and walking all over Wal-Mart. I ask other employees if they still get sore after all these years and they all say "YES". I had some days off these past few days and really enjoyed it. I relaxed and read the 2nd and 3rd book of the Twilight series. I caught up on laundry and played with the kids. Now I get to go back to work tomorrow. I really enjoy my job because I get to meet a lot of different type of people.
