Annual last day picnic, Kelsi leaves & Girls haircuts

IT HAS BEEN A TRADITION NOW FOR THREE YEARS THAT I PICK THE GIRLS UP AFTER THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL AND WE HAVE A PICNIC.
YOU MAY NOTICE THE GIRLS HAIR IS MUCH SHORTER. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I CUT IT SHORT, BUT I LOVE THEM WITH SHORT HAIR. THEY ALSO GOT BRACES A MONTH AGO I STILL HAVE NOT POSTED PICTURES OF THAT. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF OUR PICNIC. CREW LOVED IT!

NOTE TO SELF: NEVER HAVE YOUR BABY LOOK AT THE SUN FOR A PICTURE OR HE'LL LOOK LIKE THIS.

THERE THAT IS BETTER!

Today was Kelsi's last day of living with us. We will miss her but at the same time I am glad to have my little family back to normal again.

8 months old and sat still for his whole haircut

Can you believe how much hair this kid has? He has a lot morethan most 8 mnth olds Ive seen. it was driving me nuts so i decided he needed at least around his ears trimmed. i was shocked! I sat him on the counter in a child seat with a cape and he sat still the hold time. I was able to do a full haircut on him.

He looked at himself in the mirror smiling the whole time!

Doesn't he look adorable.

Girls dance recital

the girls did inredible at there recital.It was a great show. And i swear those girls can talk anyone into coming. they had their 2nd and 3rd grade teachers there. I told them by the time they are in 6th grade the whole row will be just their teachers.
i ghave three other posts so scroll down. Crews video is really funny.

the girls Grandma brought them flowers.

our little comedian

When we were out to eat for Mothers day, Crew was being hilarious. he would make hoohoo sounds then just laugh at himself. It went on forever. here is a video.

next he started doing sounds I taught him to do with his mouth. these are hilarious!

McKenzie Christiansen Winner of the James Gardner Childrens book Award and published author.

McKenzie with Author Brad Wilcox

This news was so exciting it deserved a post of its own. I posted the ward talent show with Scott as a ballerina below so make sure you read and watch the video after this.
Mckenzie waiting at the assembly.

The girls elementary School held a writing contest. The winner would get to have lunch with Brad wilcox a published author, get an award at an assembly and have their story published for the Library. Both girls were so excited and entered. I was amazed at how good both their stories were. MaKayla's was about a trip to Disneyland and McKenzie's was about none other than Crew and all he does, eats, things she loves about him, hates about him (Such as throwing up on her and pulling her hair) Both girls did a great job but not both could win. McKenzie's story was very descriptive.

At the assembly she was awarded with the Gardner James Children's book award- which means her book will have a gold seal on it. I am so proud of her. She was so excited to get brad Wilcox autograph. he read one of his books at the assembly. Really cute books and super nice guy.

He came up to me at the end and told me McKenzie read her story to him at lunch and he was amazed at how good it was.

Keep up the great writing McKenzie and MaKayla.

Do you think crew knew the story was about him?

Ward talent show- A must see!

So we had the ward talent show tonight. And Scott was a balerina if you can believe it. I got a few guys to do a ballet number. Since I was part of the skit, i had MaKayla video it. Here are a few pictures and then watch the video below. it is hilarious. DONT FORGET TO TURN MY MUSIC OFF AT THE BOTTOM OF MY BLOG FIRST> Scott is in the pink tutu and pink fairy wings, wearing a mullet. I was worried these guys would not be able to learn it. We had an hour and a half practice and did good even with their stage fright!

McKenzie won an award today at school. She is now a published auther. more to come on that. When I get the pictures off my camera.

Happy Moms Day

I got fried at the yard sale yesterday as you will see in the pictures. Thank you to all who came and helped support us. We were able to pay a bill with it. Every little bit helps. I had enough stuff left for two other yard sales but promised Scott everything would go to DI after. So if your having a baby girl, go there you will find everything you need from my donation alone.lol.

I just wanted to wish all you moms out there a happy mothers day! Especially my mom. I would be no where with out the fabulous example she was and is to me throughout my life. thanks mom! I love you.

Since Scott slept most the day. ( He works nights) My moms day consisted of........um usual being a mom stuff and making myself a frozen dinner. lol. I did get breakfast brought to me when he got home and $14 ( I do not know where he came up with that # My guess is it is all he had in his wallet) so I guess were good. My cute girls made me ceramic pot holders that are darling and little wheel barrels they made at home depot. My dad gave me $10 to take myself out to dinner. Thanks Dad!

And Crew...well he gave me what he does every day. His cute little self.

Yard Sale to help pay hospital bills

well, I do not have Colon Cancer that is a relief. However, they cannot seem to find the cause which is worrisome. I am still getting sick every time I eat. I really hope I do not keel over dead. I still have more appoi9ntments to go to. i am getting very frustrated. This Dr. Says i am the only one he has seen this young with the problem. I found four other cases online. they were all taking hormone replacements or birth control. I take neither.
Anyway, To help pay the Hospital bills from Crew's RSV and all my stuff we are having a multi- family yard sale at my house this Saturday. I have a million baby girl stuff to age 9, bassinets, toys, Clothes galore, electronics, baby boy stuff. The kids clothes are brand new or an excellent condition. The girls will also be doing a bake sale. Please stop by if you can. Email me at dmcstudiosalon@yahoo.com for the address. If you do not know where we live. We could really use everybody's support on this. I really do not want to claim bankrupcy on these bills. Thanks to all who come!
