This will make you smile......

Alexa has her first dance recital in a couple of weeks.  Her teacher said to have their hair curly and pulled back.  Last night we experimented with those foam curlers that you put in wet hair and then sleep in them.

Last night :

This morning :

She said she wanted her hair straight tomorrow.  Maybe in a couple of days we will try the bigger curlers.  But I think it is pretty cute and can't believe how good they curled her hair!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a cold and snowy but great Thanksgiving.  I didn't take any pictures of dinner over at Grandma and Grandpa Jeffs house but everyone was there, and the food was great, of course.  I've thought alot about how many things I have to be greatful for and the list is endless.  A few days before Thanksgiving I tried to take notice of all I have been given, not just material things but everything!  I realized our family is very blessed! 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Let it snow

Last night we got our first real good snow.  I woke up and let Sunny out and she had to jump through the snow, she couldn't walk.  Here is our patio table (and lovely trash cans in the background) to show how much we got.  When the sun came up it was very pretty! 

We LOVE our Sunny Day

I grew up with several different breeds of dogs, at different times.  I've had a German Shepard, Schnauzer, Chow Chow, and Cocker Spaniel.  But my favorite has to be our dog now.  Her name is Sunny but we like to call her Sunny Day.  Toby named her name because her mom's name was Sky.  She is a mixed breed, her mom is a black lab and her dad a boxer.  And we think she is beautiful!!  She really is pretty and I've gotten many comments about her.  She is big, can be loud, fast, STRONG, has the worst breath, but is the kindest, most gentle, most patient, loving, friendly dog I have ever met.  Well, except for her mom.  I think her personality is a lot like her mom, Sky and that is why we picked her.  We put up with her poop in the yard, stinky breath, slimey bones she brings to us and fur all over because we love her!!!  This is what she puts up with.

Being dressed by the boys.  (That's Ry's shirt. It fits her good).

They came downstairs after getting dressed for school and she followed looking like this.

 

Who's this girl?

When I was little I always wanted long hair, but mine was short.  I knew if I had a little girl I would let her hair grow long.  And that's what I did.  So it would make sense that my beautiful girl would want short hair, right? Yes, she has been wanting short hair for a couple of years now but I have kept putting her off by telling her she has beautiful long hair and there are many girls who would love to have her hair.  Well, I finally gave in and this is the result. (Yes we have kept about 5 inches in a bag.)

I surprised myself by actually really liking it.  I think she is sooooooo CUTE!

Halloween

Here are the Halloween costumes.  This year was cold and rainy.  The kids didn't stay out long, which was fine with me.  They came home and had pizza and we called it a night, a fun night.

Alexa also got to wear her costume to dance class on the Wednesday before Halloween.  Lots of very cute girls!

And there were of course the class parties for R,T and A.  Lacie came to Alexa's but stayed with Grandpa during the boy's.

We made slime in Ry's class.

Happy Halloween until next year!

Halloween Poem

This is Ryan's poem he wrote at school.  It's not exactly G rated but I got a good laugh.  Here it is.....

Witches Brew

By Ryan Jeffs

5th grade

I'll thorw in an ax,

and a fifth graders earwax.

In goes some eyes of a little little bird,

and maybe even an old man's turd.

Two wings of a bat,

and a Utah Utes Hat.

Let's put in a hose,

and a second graders nose.

Now we're done with our witches brew,

all except a little of you.

The End

Yup, that's my boy!  Happy Halloween a little early.
