The Naughty Finger

Ella has been walking around flipping the bird lately. She would use it to point with and everything. It was done very innocently. But, since she is starting school I decided that I needed to break her of that habit. I told her that it was a naughty finger and it was like swearing at someone if you showed them it. Of course then she shows it to me and says "like this? I am swearing at you if I do this?" I told her she was. She has been a little obsessed with it now. She even told my mom all about the naughty finger. Except when she was telling my mom, she was lifting up her fingers and saying "not this one" but, she lifted up her middle finger and told my mom that it wasn't that one either. That girl cracks me up. On the positive side she hasn't used the finger anymore. Not this one

or this one

nope not this one either

nor this one.

On a completely different subject. The other day she was playing with Tyler and told him "If you were a girl you would be laying babies right now." I said "I am a girl how come I am not laying babies?" She said "Because you are all done laying babies." I replied "You're a girl how come you aren't laying babies?" She said " I am not old enough to lay babies plus I have to be married in the temple first."

Good Girl Ella!

What are they going to wear?

Can you tell what Natalie is going to wear on the first day of school? She tried on 3 differant outfits for a little pre-school fashion show. She loves all of the clothes that she picked out but which one is her favorite? You will have to wait until Monday to find out what outfit she is going to wear.Outfit AOutfit BOutfit C

Nichole also had a pre-school fashion show. She tried on 5 outfits for you to see and quess from. She is so much more girly then Natalie so her love of trying on clothes lasted longer then Natalie's 3 outfits. What is Nichole going to wear on the first day of school. You will see on Monday.

School haircuts and new glasses

I took the girls to JoHanna to get their hair cut for school today. JoHanna came and picked Nichole, Ella, and Me and took us to the salon. I brought with me a pillow to prop my leg on. I had tons of fun hanging out with JoHanna while she did the girls hair.Ella's hair was done first. She just got her normal A line done. She looks so much cuter with shot hair. It makes it look like she has a ton of it.Nichole helped Jomama out while she put shimmers in Ella's hair.When she was done this is what she looked like. Sooo adorable. You can see on the right side of her hair and below you can see the pink one she got in. After Ella was done Nate came dropped off Natalie and took Ella home with him. He also brought with him a camping chair. It made things a lot more comfy for me being able to prop my leg up higher. Nichole's before picture.Her after pictures. You can see the rainbow shimmers in her hair. I told all of the girls that I would pay for 2 shimmers each and the big girls could pay for 4 more each themselves if they wanted more. Which of course they did. Nichole got 4 rainbow and 2 silver ones in her hair.Nichole loved her haircut so much she wouldn't stop playing with it and looking at herself in the mirror.Natalie helping Jo out while she was putting in the shimmers.Nichole in her new glasses. She is also all ready to go to her first Cross Country practice today.Natalie was the last one to go. She is excited to get shorter bans.Nichole got to help again with the shimmer.Natalie's after picture. Her hair is a little below the shoulder's. It looks really nice on her. I also had JoHanna show the girls how to style their hair. I wanted to jump up and help but I couldn'tNatalie got 3 blue and 3 purple shimmer in her hair.She has lots of layer's in the back (I promise her shirt isn't inside out the tag is just poking out.)Both of the big girls aren't they so grown up?

The kids trip to Utah

While my mom was down here helping me I stole her camera and downloaded her pictures off of it onto my computer. It had a whole bunch of pictures from when my parents had the kids over to their house for a summer vacation. I wanted to show the pictures. There are a ton of them. The first few were taken at Cabela's where they got to try to shoot the stuffed animals.They went to a petting zoo in Lehi.and then went on a picnic afterwards.The big girls did scrapbooking with GrandmaThey also went up to the farmer's market which is one of my favorite things to do during summer in Utah.They went to Jumping Jacks with their cousins Caleb and Ryan They all had a ton of fun.
