Thais's First Hair Cut!

All summer long i've wanted to cut Thais's hair and today I finally convinced Jordan it was a good idea. Here are some picture's of her new do...

Jordan earned $5 a pop cutting hair in college, so we decided he was the best candidate to do the job! Thais was really worried daddy was going to cut her back and kept telling him, "no, no cut the back!" Luckily no harm was done to our child in the process and she escaped unscathed.

Thais strikng a pose in the sink after all her hair was cut off.

Ta-Dah! Here are the before and after pictures. Not bad Jordan! (especially since this was his first real female cut).


Here's one more angle of the new cut!

The Dark Knight was dark (go figure)

I'll start of by giving points to this movie by saying that I did end up staying awake through the whole thing, so that either means it was highly entertaining or I was terrified to fall asleep during the movie and dream of Joker cunningly using "pencil" tricks on me (you have to see that movie to appreciate that one). I thought Heath ledger's performance was flawless. I find that when you truly despise a character in a movie then the actor has done a remarkable and very believable job. That being said, the movie was too dark for me.. It was significantly darker than Batman Begins and I found myself wishing that the movie would just end. Most of my favorite movies are not happy, feel good shows (Last of the Mohicans and Legends of the Fall to name a few) but I've found that after becoming a mother (especially when I'm pregnant) I can't handle the violent and the disturbing. Jordan and I watched Hotel Rawanda when I was pregnant with Thais and I think I bawled for like two hours afterward. Poor Jordan! I wasn't the best person to see this movie with (he said most of the time he looked at me I wouldn't even be looking at the screen). I think he would have had more fun going with a bunch of guys who would appreciate that darn pencil scene. I don't think I will be watching this again anytime soon!

The Dark Knight...Tonight!

Jordan is so stinkin' excited to see this movie tonight he can hardly stand it. We hung out with my cousin Kelti and her husband Bobby, and Bobby said it was, "three hours of awesomeness!" Jordan of course got totally animated and that was all he could talk about on the way home! We are going to catch a later show so I will be able to tell if it's good if I can actually stay awake the entire three hours...Usually I pay nine bucks for a good snooze!

Utah Trip

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Utah a few days ago and here are some highlights from our trip!



Tyler and Cathy just happened to be in Utah the same weekend as us, so we got the chance to spend a few hours catching up. We went to Cafe Rio (always amazing) and then went to a park to play with Thais. They surprised us and bought our baby his first pair of Jordan's (Jordan was thrilled) and Thais had so much fun playing with her uncle T-dogg at the park. Tyler and Cathy we love you and hope we see you before our next kid turns two!



We stayed our first night in Utah at Grandma and Grandpa's. Thais's favorite activity was watering Grandma's plants...over and over and over again (hopefully they are still alive...sorry Grandma)


Mele, Neveah, Peni, and Thais lookin' festive for the 4th.



This was the family float in the Plain City parade. Thais wasn't very happy to be on it at first, and then she noted the buckets of candy on board and decided the float was pretty cool!

How cute is this picture? Thais was so excited to see her uncle David!!

I broke down and bought the leash for Lagoon. It was pretty much a life saver I have to say!

The highlight of Lagoon was watching Thais have so much fun on the rides! I remember as a kid thinking that Lagoon was the most amazing place on earth (I obviously didn't get out much) but seriously, Lagoon was pretty cool! There are a ton of new rides and Thais had a blast with her cousins.

Calvin's blessing was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. We love him so much already and It was neat to know what a special boy he is!


Our last couple of days in Utah we got to stay up at the cabin. Here is Rylynn, Thais and Carter eating Nana's scrumptious enchiladas!

We celebrated Papa's birthday the day we got to the cabin. The kid's were more than happy to help Papa blow out all the MANY, MANY candles (just kidding Papa)
