Reagan's first haircut

All of my other kids have had a haircut before they were two

I don't know why but I haven't cut Reagan's yet

I just haven't gotten around to it

it was starting to get a little bit to mullety

So after the aquarium I asked Cami to cut her hair

Here's the before

During...

she held still so good!

She just sat with her arms folded

towards the end she started getting a little wiggly

but not too bad

After...

she was a little unsure about the change at first

but now she likes it

I miss not having her hair in piggy's

but it feels so much healthier and thicker

Thanks Cami!

The Living Planet Aquarium

We have been promising the kids

that we would go to the aquarium for a few weeks now

It always seemed like something came up

someone was sick

or we were working on the basement

Last Saturday the kids woke us up out of bed asking

"If we do all of our chores really good,

can we please go to the aquarium?"

with their little puppy dog eyes, how could we say no?

The kids did their chores super good

we invited Cami,Clint (along with their niece and nephew)

and Austin

The kids were most excited about the sting rays

can you really blame them?

Owen and Morgan dove right in

to touch the sting rays

Owen was soaked up to his neck!

Reagan had pumped herself up to touch a sting ray

she would say, "I'm going to touch a sting ray."

to anyone who would listen to her

then came the time to touch them and she freaked out

Bruce tried to talk to her about it

but she is very stubborn

and she said and when she is Bailey's age

then she will touch a sting ray!

We had so much fun

I was glad that Cami, Clint, Ashton, Evie and even Austin got to go!

I am glad that we purchased the year pass back in June,

even though this is only the second time we have gone

we want to go back next month

they are going to have penguins!

We also learned not to go to the presentations

it was pretty boring...

Blanket for Oakley

With only 87 days until I have Oakley

I decided it's time to make quilt for him

I fell in love with a friend of mine's quilt she made for her son

she let me look at it to see how to make it

Luckly I had plenty of fabric left over from Owen's quilt

so they will have matching quilts

first I cut the material into 2 inch strips

then I sewed the material that was the same together to make long strips

Then I got some material that matched

Layed everything out

bottom layer, batting, top layer, strips

pinned them all together

and sewed them all together.

I still need to bind it

I really don't like binding.
So as soon as I bind it and wash it

I will show you the finished product!

Ameilia Earhart

At Bailey's school, the fifth graders have an opportunity

to be a member of a wax museum

They first had to write an essay of why they wanted to be a certain character

then they had to do research,

write a paragraph about their character

and memorize their part.

Bailey decided to be Ameilia Earhart.

Bailey loved learning more about Ameilia

she didn't enjoy the wax musuem however

it was extremly hot in the room they were in

and she got a dry mouth from

reciting her part she wrote so many times!

Chuck-e-cheeses

For my nephew's birthday

we all went to Chuck-e-cheese's

The kids had lots of fun

it's nice that they stamp every ones hand when you walk in

so you can let the kids run free!

Bailey decided this year

that she was too old to play any games
but she was more than willing to help Reagan play

so it worked out nicely

The kids had so much fun

they got to play with their cousins

earn lots of tickets for prizes

and eat lots of cake!
