Random February Pictures

Our sweet friend Anne sent thse flowers to us in the middle of our 3 weeks of sickness. They also happened to come on the same day that I got the bad hair cut and was really sad. Good timing...thank you Anne!

Maren is in a coloring phase...so cute.

My Aunt Ruth came to visit the third weekend in February and we had SO much fun in the short time she was here! She got right in and played with Joel at Camelback park! We also played lots of games and she played with the kids A TON! They loved her just as much as I did growing up (and still do!)

Posing...

Happiest when she has Daddy to herself...

Joel fell into a wrought-iron fence at school and caught himself using only his mouth. He had a fat lip for a couple of days, but it didn't bleed too much and Uncle Doctor said it probably wasn't bad enough for stitches. Ouch!

We went to The Ram on the last day of the month...they were having a "kids eat for $1 special" in February, so we wanted to take advantage of it! The kids got balloons and that is always a treat. Notice Maren wearing Joel's t-shirt...she wanted to wear it to bed!

I almost forgot!!

I went in for a trim a couple of weeks ago and I went in looking like this:

...I came out looking like this:

(Ok, so I didn't have the top hat and bow tie on, but other than that it is identical - long flaps over my ears and very short in the back)

She had messed it up so bad that I had to go pretty short again in order for it to look good. Here is the after, after:

I actually really like it, it was just hard becuase I had just spent the last 1 1/2 years growing it out from VERY short! And Greg has said that he prefers it this way, so I may just keep it like this!

Almost back...

Is anyone else getting sick of seeing my boring Valentines Day pictures?! Me TOO!! (I'm not crazy about the new background either....) I realize that it's been almost a month since I have posted anything - Sickness is to blame for most of it, lazyness for the rest. :) I'll be back with some pictures soon!
