Chop chop chop

I've done it....I cut my hair. Normally, it won't be in my face like that, but you know how hairdressers like to put your hair over your eyes....why is that? Amy came along to the hairdresser and sat in her stroller cooing the entire time. How'd I get so lucky? She's such a good baby!

Toes

Kris asked if she could take pictures of my baby's toes, and it just so happened I took this a few weeks ago....but YES, Kris, you take much better pictures than me!!!! So please, take a ton of pictures of her! ;o)

We HEART Watermelon

Ammon and Carrie cut into a watermelon last week and their love for the melon was shining through! I wonder if this is common? I've never seen a watermelon like that, but this one came that way!

Tummy Time

3 months old....time is going by so fast I can hardly stand it! Amy sure is fun to wake up to every day, and get these big huge smiles!

Rainbow Road

We went to a family reunion this weekend and after a grueling 3 hours in the car with Emma screaming the entire way, we arrived in a storm. We decided to stay in a hotel rather than camp. Little did we know that every hotel/motel in American Falls (all 3 of them) were completely full! Apparently it was American Falls Days and there was a big rodeo. So we headed toward Pocatello in the stormy weather......while driving along the freeway, this is what we saw....

We arrived in Pocatello shortly after that, to find that all 12 or 15 of their hotels/motels were completely booked as well. I called Heidi to have her find me a room on the internet as Ammon was running in and out of each hotel with no luck. She told me that Towne Place Suites had a room, but we had been inside and they said they didn't. So I told her to book it online, which she did, and we walked back in with a confirmation number, so they had to give us a room. The lady told us that this overbooked them by 2 rooms. But we had a wonderful room with 2 bedrooms, each with a king size bed, and a pullout couch. We loved it so much that we bagged camping all together and stayed there another night!

On the way there, Emma and Kaden were screaming so loud that I threatened to tape their mouths shut. Then it occurred to me that a big piece of sticky tape might provide some quiet entertainment, so I gave them each a piece. 2 seconds later I looked back to find this....

Ammon and Carrie had a good time with the water ballon toss.....it took Carrie at least 8 hours to dry off!

The kids also had a fabulous time getting sticky with candy and then running around in the dirt. When it was time for bed Saturday night, I was SO grateful for the BATHTUB in the HOTEL ROOM and counted my blessings that we weren't camping!!! You know those yummy powdered doughnuts with the raspberry filling? Emma took one bite and then said she didn't want to eat it because it was bleeding.

All in all, we had a great time! We're thanful we got to go, since we won't be going on another road trip for at least 4 years (according to Ammon!)

Saturday is a special day.....

It's the day we get ready for Sunday. Cleaning house, today! And I'm hoping I'll get it all done so that tomorrow is more peaceful and less chaotic!

Ammon took Carrie on an overnight fishing trip last night, so it's just me and the little's this weekend. We're hanging out and singing a lot of the cleanup song. LOL.

Here's a picture of my sleeping beauties last time Daddy was out of town.
