2011-11-16T16:20:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is the big day!!!!! What is the big day, might you ask??? While it just so happens that I am be induced!! Yay!!! I cant wait to see this little Missy, and give her a million kisses and smell the wonderful newborn smell!! Oh I can't wait!! I am sooo excited!!!!

Sawyer's Birthday Party

2011-11-10T17:15:00.000-08:00

Sawyer decided that he wanted to have his birthday party @ chuck E cheese, and can I just say it was heavenly!!!!! All of the kiddos were soo good, and it was soo nice to have no mess, and a party planned without any work!!! pics are coming soon!!!

Lazy Me

2011-11-03T04:54:00.000-07:00

Ok so I realize that my last post was, oh lets see here over a year ago, oops!! I really have no excuses besides me being a mom, being pregnant, and probablly the biggest excuse is, I have been down right lazy. So here is to a new start!!!

Being that I have insomnia now (due to this little girl in my tummy) I decided to start blogging again, so hopefully this time it sticks.

Today is sawyers 4th birthday party!!!! He actually turns 4 tomorrow November 4th, but hey today is a good today to have his party!!! He decided he wants to go to Chuck E Cheese, and to that I said GREAT!!!!! No mess at my house, no planning/decorating, etc. Though I do love planning birthday parties, this year it is nice to go the easy route(considering I am due in 2 weeks).
Once again I am playing the lazy card!!!!!

So hopefully today will be a fun day for my little man, and I will get some pictures up to show his big day!! :)

Sawyer's sayings

2010-09-24T17:05:00.000-07:00

the other day we were driving in the car and sawyer said " Mom, when I get big can I be a daddy?" :) Sawyer said today when daddy told him he was going to Denver, " Can I come to September too?"
So Cute!! I freakin Love that kid to pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Molly is funny!

2010-06-03T20:21:00.000-07:00

We were at the store in the checkout lane, and there was a lady in front of us who was missing an arm, (So like most curious little kids,) Molly asked "what happened to your arm"? She sweetly replied "When I was little I got hurt by a horse". The lady finished checking out, and went on her way. Molly then looks at me and said "Mom did you hear what happened to that lady with no arm". "She got a divorce and the man shot her!" What the crap!!!! How did she come up with that!! Anyways I had a good laugh!!!

2010-02-22T14:46:00.000-08:00

Molly had "dress up like your favorite book character" at school today, and because we couldn't find the black wig to be "Molly Lou Melon", She decided on her second choice "FANCY NANCY" I think she loved it... What do you think?

How FANCY can you get?

A girl can never have too many accessories!!!

Yes she does all her own posing too!!!

Family Pictures Sept 2009

2009-10-19T21:00:00.001-07:00

I love how our family pictures turned out, and I want to give a big huge thanks to my very talented sis-in-law Susan Hayward, who spent a full day at our family vacation taking our pictures. She was so patient with us while have to suffer through all of the whining, crying, fussing and non cooperating that goes along with family pictures and kids!!! Thanks again Susan you're the greatest!!!

Sorry I know I have been a total slacker these last couple of months, darn you facebook!!! Ha ha I promise I will post soon!!

9 years and counting......

2009-04-28T12:12:00.000-07:00

From the time I was a little girl, I always dreamed about my wedding, From what flowers I was going to throw,to what dress I would wear, to the food we would eat. I loved dreaming about my wedding and all its details, but the one thing I never detailed to much about was what my husband would be like. Sure I had all these in visions of beautiful men that would adorn my side, but I never had a certain, specific, note pad-check mark man that would be my husband, until I met you!!!

After our first date (hence the wedding singer song), I knew no one would ever live up to the standard or pedal stool I put you on. No one has ever treated me like you do, cared for me like you do, plain out gets me like you do!!!! You get my jokes, you know how to make me happy, make me laugh, and make my day!!!!!
Thanks for making the last detail of my dream wedding come true. I love you!! So here's to 9 wonderful years, and many more to go!!! :)

I love you more than you will ever know, you are my best friend, my soul mate, my everything!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Easter pics!!

2009-04-23T20:34:00.001-07:00

My cute kiddos on easter sunday!!

My little southern belle in her easter dress!!

My little man!!

This is my post!!!

2009-04-22T12:10:00.001-07:00

We had a little green visitor!!!!

2009-03-17T11:52:00.000-07:00

It all started when molly came home from her friend haylee's house, telling all of us to hurry and put on our green!! I said"Molly we don't have to wear green until tomorrow", to that she exclaimed "No Mom, haylee said that we have to wear green to bed, or the leprechaun will come and pinch us in the middle of the night!" I tried to tell her that it was o.k., that she wouldn't get pinched while she was sleeping, but she would not drop it!! Finally after hearing her plead her case, we all went to bed.(all wearing green mind you)! So I decided to have some fun with this little green visitor!!!

Here is Molly decked in her green, so she wouldn't get pinched!

We had a visitor. The little leprechaun came in through our back door....

tip-toed his way around the furniture...

hopped up onto Sawyers highchair....

Walked across the counter....

Walked across the kitchen floor...

spotted the fridge...

opened the fridge....

I guess he got thirsty, because our milk wasn't green when we went to bed!

and left his Pot O' Gold!!

Thanks you sneaky little leprechaun, now I have buy more milk, and mop my floors!!!

P.s. No this did not scare molly to never want to go to bed again, she loved it and wants to leave the foot prints up until everyone in the whole entire world has seen them!! :)

It's Finally Spring!!!!!

2009-03-12T11:44:00.000-07:00

The flowers are growing...

The sidewalks are being colored....

and the kids can finally play outside!!!!!

so please spring stay around, because I am sick of being inside!!!!!

My favorite things swap!

2009-03-04T19:37:00.001-08:00

So a little while back I decided to play "my favorite things swap". What it is, is you are paired up with someone you have never met, and you send them some of your favorite things, and in return they send you some of their favorite things!
I was paired up with Julie from West Virgina, and It was so fun opening everything she sent. I got a little glimpse of who she is, and of course what she loves!!!

Here is the spread she sent me!!! It was so fun unwrapping everything she sent along with a little note explaining what she loved. I feel bad, I didn't individually wrap!! Sorry:(

She sent Dr. pepper, a inspiring book, sudoku, magic eraser, gum, pop tarts, a fun saying on a tile, a magic marker, eye liner, a candle, picture frame,stationary, notebook, and sunflower seeds to plant.

Julie loves her state West Virgina!!!

Thanks Julie that was so much fun!!! I loved learning a little more about you!!!!Please keep in touch!!!!

They changed the look of trafalga, it is now all "under the sea" themed and dark, so sawyer had his share of spills over ever bump on every green!

Our pro putter! She has a unusual technique of as we call it the"drag to the hole" but hey it works every time!!

molly's preschool program

2008-12-23T04:54:00.003-08:00

Molly had her preschool Christmas program, and it was so cute!! I didn't realize the extentof hat changes they had, but they all looked soo cute, in every single one! Molly had a rough start at the beginning of the performance... They are suppost to have bells to ring when they sing jingle bells, but there was wasn't one under molly's chair. She got the saddest look on her face when the music began and she wasn't ready with her bell. We kept saying to her "go get one, go, get one" but it was to late! The tears started flowing, and she buried her face in her hands and cried the entire song. Poor little molls (to a 4 year old that is a huge deal!!) But as they say the show must go on, so (two songs later, and a hug from her teacher,) she put on her game face, and as they say ... Broke a leg!! Molly you did so good!! We love to hear you sing!! this little girl kept looking at molly the entire time, (probably wondering if she was o.k. or going to lose it again.) "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer" Singing "elfy the elf". They had a ton of costume changes Molly singing "angels in the snow"

2008-12-17T07:38:00.000-08:00

We had another fun festivus, hosted by Kristin and Jason!! There was good food, fun games, and karaoke. The only problem was we were the only ones who wore our best clothes and really prepared for the party! (I hope everyone didn't feel bad that we were all glammed up, and put their ensembles to shame!) Maybe next year everyone will realize that this kind of party is something where only the best and latest fashions should be worn!

Let's get this party started!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Kesley and Madison

Katie and Shawn

I know I am jumping the gun with a Christmas background and music, but I can't wait!!! I love this time of year!!! I figured since I already have my Christmas lights up and glowing, I might as well do the whole shabang!!!

Twilight was a bust!!!!

2008-11-21T06:25:00.000-08:00

I went to the midnight premiere of twilight last night with some friends, and I was disappointed!!! Edward was not the Edward I had in visioned in my head. I kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but by the end I still wasn't convinced. I thought it was cheesy,(low budget) and the acting was only so so (that's being generous!) It didn't help sitting in the front row!! The faces became all distorted and Edwards head looked unusually huge!!! All in all I had fun being with my friends, but the movie was not what it was cracked up to be!!!
Bring on the comments people!!!!!

Crap!!!

2008-11-20T05:54:00.000-08:00

I dropped my camera at molly's fieldtrip yesterday, and now every time I try to turn it on it says "LENS ERROR RESTART CAMERA"!!! Arrgh!! I am so bummed of course right before thanksgiving! I guess I know what I will be getting for christmas!! But santa can you bring it early? I need pictures of the holidays!
P.S. If any of you know who fixes cameras that doesn't take long, and is not as expensive as just going and buying a new one let me know!

Can't a Mom Have Just 5 Minutes to Blog?

2008-11-17T20:05:00.000-08:00

2008-11-14T05:43:00.000-08:00

2008-11-02T20:41:00.001-08:00

Molly had a fun Halloween party at school! This is how she looked when I dropped her off...

Molly being a good sport, and posing for tons of pics!

Molly's preschool class. She is one of two girls in her class! Sometimes I feel bad for her, other times I think of it as a blessing!

And this is how she looked when I picked her up! You can't really tell but she stripped down to her tights, (luckily I put bloomers over her tights).!! I asked her why she took off her costume, and she said she was hot!! Ha Ha I can't believe they let her run around at school with just a tank, and tights on!! I was laughing so hard when I picked her up!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!

2008-11-02T20:11:00.001-08:00

We had such a fun Halloween!! Tons of candy, yummy soup, good friends and family!! Who could ask for more?

So here we are straight from OZ! There is Dorothy, the tin man, the cowardly lion, and don't forget the lollipop kid!!!

Dorothy and her tin man!

How how I love my little lion!!!

The whole gang getting ready to get as much candy as possible!!!

Dorothy doing some spins.

Who knew Ariel and the cowardly lion were kissing buddies!

So another Halloween has come and gone, and can I tell you it is exhausting!! Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween, but by the time we get done, getting ready, running from work, to work, getting re-ready, to grandma's, to trick or treating, to handing out candy, I am ready for bed!!!

The Witch Place!

2008-10-29T19:09:00.001-07:00

I really wanted to take my kids up to Gardner's Village before Halloween, so I could get some cute pictures and have a fun time making some memories!! I told molly that we were going to "the witch place" (as she calls it ) and was so excited!! WE had a great time seeing the witches, riding the horses, and eating lunch! Until.... Dumb mommy decided to put sawyer in a high chair and didn't buckle him in. I'm sure you can all see where this is going. My sweet sawyer, fell out while I was grabbing something from the stroller, and landed straight on his head on to the tile floor. It was a loud hard hit! Oh I felt soooo bad!!!! Sawyer is a pretty tough boy, and usually only cries for about 30 seconds if he gets hurt. He cried for a good 15 minutes!!! So I knew he was really hurt!!! His eyes started rolling back, threw up and then after crying instantly got tired!! Oh my heart hurt so bad for him!!! I was so nervous he might have a concussion, so the whole way home I kept him awake by singing to him, and saying his name!! HE was not happy with me but by the time we got home, he started to feel better!!! so I gave him lots of loves and carried him around for a good couple hours until I thought it was O. K to let him take a nap!! He woke up happy as ever, and was ready to play!!! I am so sorry mommy was dumb !!! Besides That little scare we had a fun time!!!

This is as close as Molly would get to the witches!!!

Say Cheese!!!

My Diva!!!!

My little stud!!!

Sawyer on his horsey!

Molly riding Queen.

Molly picked this spot for a pic!

Molly took our picture!! She's not to bad is she!!!

The Kids had fun, going through the corn maze, playing in the pumpkin, seeing the animals, and getting a treasure to take home!!!

2008-10-13T15:18:00.000-07:00

Today we went to to dentist office, and molly got to pick out a movie to watch while they looked at her teeth. The assistant named a few movie choices, and Molly decided on Princess Diaries!! After the dental asst. left Molly gave me the weirdest look and said "did she say princess diarrhea!" Ha ha "no Molly she said princess diaries, not princess diarrhea".
Then on the way home I got totally cut off by dumb guy, and without thinking I muttered "Dou#% bag". Molly then said "Who is". Oops I tried to just let it go but then molly said "look mom he got out of the way, so now he's not a juice man"! Ha ha!!! I am so glad that's what she thought I said!!!

Baby Violet

2008-10-09T12:33:00.000-07:00

This is baby violet!! My mom's new Baby!! She is the runt of her pug litter and weighs only 2 lbs. My mom named her after my late grandma Violet(I asked if grandma would be o.k. with a dog named after her, and my mom said "I think grandma would have thought it was cute"! (Kids don't be getting any ideas!)
My mom, and Steve are in total doggy love with her!(Literally they are very posessive, They wanted to go out to eat last night, and I told them to leave her at my house, and they couldn't!)

Oohh look at that face!!!

Violet really is the tiniest thing I have ever seen!!! She is so dang cute!!!

A day at the fire station

2008-10-09T12:15:00.000-07:00

Molly has been learning about policemen, and fire fighters this week at school. So what would be more perfect then a little after school field trip to the local fire station. It was actually pretty cool, they had a smoke house you could go in, and have to crawl out, the demonstrated the "jaws of life", they did a fire show, taught CPR, let the kids spray the fire hose, gave out free firemen hats, pencils, cotton candy, etc. All in all we had a good time, and picked up a couple of new skills! (here's hoping we never have to use them)

Here we are at the fire station....

My junior fire fighter!

Getting ready to watch the fire show! (free cotton candy,and popcorn never hurt either!)

5 years ago I was:
Living in our condo. I owned Dallas Roberts Salon, and was stressed out constantly because people were always complaining about something (clients, shampoo, lights, other girls, etc!!(Girls are so caddy)

1 year ago I was:
sweating my guts out at girls camp!!! I didn't help that I was pregnant so I was even hotter than normal!!!

Yesterday I was in sunny California, Almost crying because I had to come back to reality, and Literally almost crying because I found the cutest distressed armoire and the lady said it was on hold, so I kept bugging her about it she finally called the man and he came and bought it right in front of me!!!AARRGGHH The worst part about it was it was at an anquie store so I can't find another Oh and the killer it was only $200!!!

5 places to runaway to:
California, California, California, California, oh did I mention California!!!
I do love new york, and Mexico too!! Never been to the Caribbean, which I am sure I would love!!

5 bad habits:
applying lotion to my feet and hands too much, easy road rage,I make stashes around my house (sorry Craig), I kinda love to shop, eating when I am not hungry!!

5 things I would never wear:
I can never say never, because when I was little I told my mom I would never wear bell bottom jeans like her, and guess what I have!!

5 pet peeves:
boogers in kids noses (don't their mom's care), molly bugging sawyer!! Trying to get molly to take a time out and she throws things at the wall(while she is in their). Mom's who don't brush their kids hair!!(come on is it really that hard, I am not even asking you to do it, just brush out the snarls). People who stand way to close to you in lines.

What's in a surprise anyway?

2008-06-07T20:05:00.000-07:00

So I being the greatest wife ever(o.k. well maybe only I think so), I love to try to create great, big, huge, surprises for my hubby!! But not matter how hard I try or how sneaky I think I am being, he ALWAYS finds out!!!!AARGH!!!!
Example 1: When were were dating I planned a fun filled day for his birthday, and some how he knew exactly what we were doing the entire day!!! Going to the zoo, then eating at hooters! Ha ha yeah I really did take him to hooters, and you should see what they do for birthdays!!! He was totally blushing, but in heaven at the same time!!
Example 2: For our 5 year anniversary I decided to fly us out to where it all started VIVA LAS VEGAS BABY!! (I being married to him for 5 years now knew that he would try to find out what present he was getting , where we were going etc.) So I was very sneaky and bought the plane tickets on our American Express Making sure that the last statement already came, and that there were no purchases on our card, that would make him check our statement! Anyways long story short, He just randomly got online and checked the bill(remind you there were NO purchases on there)and of course found the plane tickets!!!!
Example 3: For Christmas I bought him a new GPS system, and I even created a new account on the computer, when buying it!! But of course he randomly just happens to find the web site I was on and my account popped up, once again he just had to find out and spoiled yet another surprise!!!
Example 4: (This just happened yesterday hence the reason for the post)
He has had is eye on a remote control airplane, so I (best wife) decide to get him one for fathers day!! But as most of you probably don't know they are expensive little buggers!!!
So I checked EBay, Craigslist, and low and behold on KSL, I found one!!! Hooray!! The only thing, I have to pick it up. Once agian I try to be sneaky, and wait until I knew he would be gone, and arrange a pick up via text messaging just in case!! So The morning after I got it, Craig wakes me up by saying, "Who can't make it tonight" half asleep I say "What" He replies "He will not be able to meet you tonight, But I can meet you after work" AARGh !!! He read my text messages With Mr. Secret Airplane man, and once again ruined the surprise!!! So After 8 years I still have to say no matter how sneaky I think I am, Craig is so much more, and will always find out!!! AARGH!!!!

Do any of you have people in your lives you cannot surprise no matter how hard you try?

Guess Who's Crawling?

2008-05-14T09:11:00.000-07:00

SAWYER IS!!!! Sawyer is growing up so fast he already has 2 teeth, rolls over like a fish, eats like a champ, and yep that's right he started crawling!! I set him down and usually he can get to what he wants by rolling and turning, but today he pushed up into a push up position and lunged himself forward, and started doing a cute little army crawl!! I am so excited for him, but now I really have to start child proofing the floor!!!
Look at me!!

I think I can!!!

I think I can!!!

I got it!!

When I was typing this, he crawled over to see me!!! Hooray!!!

What did I get myself into?

2008-05-08T12:12:00.001-07:00

Remember a couple of posts back when I did the pay it forward challenge, Yeah anyways the point of the game is to keep having people pay it forward, then their 3 people pay it forward etc. Back to the point,you are suppose to make a homemade gift! I had all of these grand ideas to give my 3 people, but have just realized I am So Not Crafty!!! It looks easy and simple but when it gets into my hands some how I screw it up!!!
I decided how cute would it be to make fun planter pots with cute paper, and add some kind of cute flower. Sounds easy right
Example (looks cute from far away) (thanks Karen for the plant visual)

But up close hideous!!!

So here goes attempt number 2! I think I can be crafty, I think I can be crafty, I think I can be crafty!!!

What princess are you?

2008-04-15T16:03:00.000-07:00

You Are Jasmine!

Independent and adventurous. You don't want much; just to break out of the guilded cage society has put you in and experience life to the fullest. Following orders isn't really one of your strong points, and you would rather live a life of poverty than being forced into something that you hate.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Molly's Dance Pictures!!

2008-04-08T07:31:00.001-07:00

So Molly's big spring concert is this Saturday!! We had dance pictures yesterday, and all the little girlies looked so stinkin cute!!!
I was almost about to have a panic attack, when they told us that all the girls hair needed to be half up and really curly!!! WHAT!!! Have you seen my daughters hair lately? Needless to say I followed the orders at went to work curling Molly's hair with a tiny, tiny curling iron! About half way through I almost had a nervous breakdown her hair was going afro curl on me!! Oh no My daughter is going to look like Macey Grey!! When I got done, I smoothed out the curls with my magic potion (gloss drops), and off we went to her pictures!!! I think she looks pretty cute!!! Oh and her dance is to Shirley Temples "Baby take a bow"!! So I think her hair fits perfect!!

Molly and lily!! Cute cousins!!

Molly and Kate!!!

The back of the costumes!!! Isn't that bow adorable!!!

Molly, Kate and Elise!!! Cute friends!!!

I am so excited for the big performance!! Those costumes couldn't have turned out any cuter!!! So wish Molly good luck on her big show!! I know she will do great!!

Easter,Easter, Easter!!!!

2008-03-10T14:57:00.000-07:00

So another Easter has come an gone!!!! 4 Easter egg hunts, too much candy, a Easter cow and bunny,dress,coloring eggs,food, and tons of fun!!! Molly hauled with candy, and don't you worry when we pick out her Easter basket, she did not want any of the cute baskets with bows, ribbons, not even princesses!! No she had her eyes set on the biggest straw basket, because as she said "I want this one because it will hold the most candy!!"
We had a great time with family, friends, and of course we made sure molly was aware of the real reason we celebrate Easter!!!

Call Me Crazy!!!!

2008-01-10T15:11:00.000-08:00

O.K. So I just decided that I have to lose 10 lbs. by March 1st! Normally when I decide to do something, and if I don't end up accomplishing it I say "Oh well lets try it again." Well I know this is a habit of mine, and I am bound and determined to break this cycle!! So instead of not following through with goals I have set, whether it be weight, reading, patience, etc, I thought I have to follow through with this one!!!
So I was at the gym today, when I got an Aaa Haa moment(thanks Oprah). I thought how awful would it be if someone were to take a picture of me, in a bikini (In the state I am in.) Then my awaking thought arrived. How crappy would it be if my picture ended up on someones blog, because we all know how blogs go, you click on one link, then another, then another until you end up reading someones blog who you don't know, who lives in some far off place you have never heard of before! (Come on we all do it, you know exactly what I am talking about). Anyways I decided this is what I will do! Yes call me crazy, frankly I know I am, but I am going to have my picture plastered on the blog world for everyone to see if I don't reach my weight loss goal. Just to clarify even if I didn't lose all the weight, I would never follow through and actually put my picture on my blog.
So I called the only friend I knew that would hold me to our agreement and not feel bad about humiliating me in front of the whole world!(Thanks Brit)(No seriously thanks). So yes I called Brit and told her off my goal, and she agreed to hold me to it! I let her know under no circumstances will I be let off the hook! Even if their are tears shed, nasty words spoken, tires slashed, will she give in! If I don't lose 10 lbs by March 1st she is going to post a picture of me in bikini in all my chubbiness, on her blog!
So let the running, weight lifting, starving, and purging(j/k)begin !!! Goodbye baby fat, because I will lose the weight!!!!!!!
And just to make it even more humiliating if I don't succeed here is her blog address so you can keep it and look at it to see if my picture is there! http://becksandavi.blogspot.com Good luck to me!!!!!

100% GIRL

2008-01-09T14:12:00.000-08:00

As most of you know Molly is 100% Girl!! If it is pink, Lacy, sparkly, glittery, etc, you know Molly will love it! Well I was getting ready and Molly had been quiet for longer than usual(nothing good happens when kids are quiet for long periods of time). I walked into the bathroom and discovered Molly in all her glory applying my makeup!!

I told her to stay there while I got my camera, but I guess she got embarrassed!

Then she tired to hide in our bed, and got makeup all over! But I guess you know what they say "A girl has always got to look her best".

Well this is my daughter for you,100% GIRL. I do have to give her credit she used all the right makeup in the right spots!! Now we just need to work on portion control!!

How Time Flies!

2008-01-05T10:08:00.000-08:00

Kids are so Honest!!!

2008-01-01T17:16:00.000-08:00

So a couple of days ago I was thinking about my new years resolutions. I had just gotten dressed and walked down stairs when Molly exclaimed "Mom, your tummy is getting big!" To that I responded "No Molly, mommy had her baby, you should say your tummy is getting little!" Molly replied " No mom look at your tummy it is big." Wow If that isn't a blow to the ole' self esteem I don't know what is! Needless to say I marched right back upstairs and changed into a sweatshirt to hide my fabulous tummy!!! Kids are so honest!!! So back to my New Years Resolutions, I bet you can guess what my first resolution will be!!

My Nightmare Came True!!!

2007-12-22T06:51:00.000-08:00

You can't tell in the pictures, but I had to cut it to about the ear!!!

So one of my biggest nightmares came true yesterday!!!! I was at work, when I got a call from my mom, she said " the worst thing that could happen, just happened!" I started to cry. I knew exactly what had happened. I said " Molly cut her hair!!!!!" Then there was silence!!!!! At that moment I started to sob, bawl, freak out, what ever you want to call it!
(As many of you know, molly's hair is one of my obsessions, my love !!! It was so thick, long and beautiful!!!!!
So up to Nana's house I went to asses the damage!!! As soon as I saw her, my heart dropped!!!! It was worse than I had imagined!!! So after many tears(both me and Molly),I had to chop her beautiful hair off!!!!!!! (and it still doesn't look great, there was nothing I could do to fix some of the layers Molly, and her cousins created!!!)
It was a bad, bad moment in my mommy life!!!!
(I thought by now I would be O. K. but as I am typing this, the tears are starting to flow AGAIN!)
I have to keep telling myself it is only hair!!!! It will grow back!!!! It is only hair!!!
Molly now wishes she could have her "blonde, princess hair back", and so do I !!

Well what it done is done, so here goes the process of growing out a really bad haircut!!!

Girls Only Pampering Party!

2007-12-18T19:48:00.000-08:00

I decided to put a purifying/firming face mask on the other night,

and of course Molly wanted in on the action!!! She thought it was cool because as she said " we look like ghosts!"

Molly also kept saying "Sorry Dad Girls Only."
