Haircuts from the Girls!

Ok well I learned my lesson from blogging during the middle of the day. So just as I had finished blogging about my lovely morning making pancakes, my kids decided to give me something else to blog about.
So I just had finished my last blog and had decided to check my email and that before doing some wife/mother duties. When Issy asked me to do her hair. She brought me the spray bottle and little rubberbands. Then I asked her to bring me a comb. She went and retrieved the comb for me. Much to my surprise it was full of hair. Issy hair!! I looked at it, and could tell that it had been cut. So then I sadly went through her hair to see where it came from. When I found it. As I combed on her right side a bunch more hair came out:(
It ended up being a small little section about 1/2 inch wide and cut about an inch from her scalp...I know it could of been so much worse! With Issy's hair you can't even see it. She has so much, that it won't be missed..lol. Just made me a little sad. I thought that was the end to the scissor saga. I found the scissors she used and took them away. End of story, right? Nope, unfortunately it wasn't!
Justin came home a little bit after that to eat lunch. When he walked in, I told Issy to tell daddy what she did.
This was Issy's response "nuttin, daddy" with a big smile! Justin just laughed and said ok,"What did she do?"
I proceeded to explain what she did and how I discovered it. At that point of time, Kylee decided to venture out from the toyroom, where she had QUIETLY been playing and watching cartoons. Yes I know..for all of you who are parents..when kids are quiet is when they are at their most troublesome times. Kylee walked into the room and right away I looked and said, whats going on with your bangs. Some of her hair was kind of sticking up in front like a wave effect. Thats when it hit me..AGAIN. Kylee had cut her bangs. Right in the dead center front!
We asked her what happened, and at first she tried to say Issy had cut her hair. But then we asked her again and she finally fessed up. This was the conversation with Kylee:

Kylee: Ok, ok I cut my hair
Mom: Why Ky, why would you do that?
Kylee: because Issy started it
Dad: Kylee your older, you should of known better
Kylee: but Issy brought the scissors to me, she started it
Mom: Kylee why didn't you bring me the scissors when Issy showed them to you?
Kylee: Oh I didn't think about that!
Dad: Well at least she is honest...lol

After that little speech, we had a hard time keeping a straight face. Kylee has always been known for those one-liners, little sayings, or just out right bold honesty! So from all of this, none of it is really that fixable. Issy's will grow, and not even be noticed by all her hair. While Kylee will have some wonderful pictures in the near future, with an interesting hairstyle. That is until they are long enough to trim and make her bangs look better. Sad thing with Kylee is we have worked so hard to grow her hair out since her alopecia case a year ago. Oh well back to square one...at least with the bangs...lol

Needless to say, all of my blogging will be done later in the evening for now on...lol

Ok this really doesn't show her cut job to well. But it was the best I could do. Its about the center area of her right side. A small little cut, but 1 inch from the roots. So what we see is a little bit of what she cut, the small pieces is what would normally be her long hair :(
Issy's long hair that I pulled out from combing through the area...So sad!
This is Kylee's bangs. Now they are so much shorter...lol
Here is a side view of Kylee's bangs that she cut. She did a nice little number on herself..lol
Her bangs at one point where down to her eyebrows, now they are different lengths. Ranging from barely pinchable to about an inch long.

Pancakes!

This morning, after we took Chelsey to school, the little ones decided they wanted pancakes. So we got out everything and started making them. Chelsey had received this little chef set for her birthday from her Grandma Corinne, and Kylee decided to use it in her absence. Ky helped me get the pancake mix and dump it into the bowl. Then I added the water and Kylee mixed it all up for me. Issy joined in when she could smell them cooking...lol.

Then Kylee took the camera from me and decided to snap a couple shots of me cooking. Now remember everyone, this is in the morning, and I haven't gotten ready for the day yet..lol.

I had to take some pics of the girls helping me make pancakes. It was so much fun. Kylee told me at the end that next time we need to add Choc. chips..lol. I agreed!

New Laptop

So at the beginning of August our Dell XPS laptop crashed. Yes what a sudden loss. We found out that it was the motherboard. Which as everyone knows, sucks because if you have your motherboard crash on a laptop you might as well buy a new one..lol. So in the process of obtaining a new one, our good friend Steve borrowed his laptop to us for a nice amount of time..Thanks Steve, I really appreciate it!
Well the laptop I ordered I asked for a colored cover. The color I picked however was on back order. But I did not know this until a month later, when they moved my shipment date back again another month. So after finding this all out, I canceled the order and put in a new order for a color that could be shipped right away:)
Well one week later my laptop was shipped and is now here. I love it! I now am the proud owner of an Inspirion 1525 laptop in RED!!! Its very pretty. I know, how girly of me!

Issy is a Big Girl!

So for the last two weeks Isabella has been potty-training. Two weeks ago I decided that I was done with diapers. I was NOT going to buy another box of them. I took Issy with me to Walmart and let her pick out a small pack of panties. She chose Dora, and was so excited. I then picked up another generic brand that was bigger. This way she got to pick out the ones she wanted, and also have a bunch to start out with. I told her...no more diapers, put on them panties and that was it.

The first two days were tough. She would leak and then come tell me. I went through so many panties that in those two days..lol. But if I was to put her in a pull-up, she viewed it as a diaper and just didn't care if she went in it. So the extra laundry was worth it. Over the course of the first week, she got the hang of it, and now knows when she has to go. She has even conquered going #2. Naps and nightime are still in pull-ups. I am just trying to get during the day completed. I believe I pretty much have her potty-trained!! Yay for Issy! She loves being a big girl and having her cute, pretty, and vibrant panties. She loves to show them off to our close friends. She is so proud that she is like her sisters.

Some of you know that Issy is a huge juice drinker. Ok its more a sugar-free kool-aid, but to Issy its juice. Well since potty-training, she doesn't drink as much and we have been able to get rid of Sponge Bob(her sippy cup). She drinks from a big girl cup and is now drinking more water as well from it..so thats a big Plus. Over all we are very proud of Issy! She wanted to share with everyone, what a big girl she is!

Today I took the two younger girls and met my friend Jen and her two girls at this really neat park in Norco. Norco reminds me of my small town that I grew up in. Because its a farming community, that has had the city grow around it. The stores still have horse posts in front to tie your horse to. No joke! I saw people still riding their horses down the road. They don't have sidewalks, they have horse trails.
The park is new and they have two big playgrounds. One is in the shape of a red barn, and the other is suppose to be the Old General Store (the green playground). It also had rock formations all around for the kids to climb on, as well as a little kids corral, and a place to play horse-shoes.
The kids had alot fun playing and climbing. I think we were there for a couple hours at least..lol.

Kylee is about to go down the Firemans pole...Yes even in her dress!
Isabella really enjoyed the slides at this park. She made me take tons of pictures..lol
Kylee is stylin' in her pink shades, while trying to push her friend Heather
It's an Issy size rock. Issy took my hand and walked me over to this rock so she could sit on it and get a kodak moment. I think my kids just love the camera!

Jen pushing both our girls, while I snap the pics. What a great team we make..lol

Saturdays Celebration

On Saturday we had some friends come over to the house to celebrate my b-day. Justin made home-made pizza, and cupcakes. It was alot of fun to just have them over and hang out. The kids all played and enjoyed themselves. The adults got to sit around enjoy the food and just have some adult time. Also since we have no family here in So. Cal, we have created our own with our good friends. The girls enjoy having lots of adopted Aunts and Uncles. Here some of them that came. Bri, and Steve also came but had left before the camera was brought out. Here is Mary and Joel. Joel was so tired and partied too much that Mary was trying to stroller him to sleep. Didn't work out so well though. He was back up and playing with Nicohlas.

Here is Angie and Justin chatting it up and smiling for the camera girl! After the pizza was made Justin actually got time to sit down and enjoy everyone.
Say Cheese Bryan. He tried to move everything out of the way, but the bottle still got in the picture...lol. In the Background is his lovely wife Jen and son Nicohlas.

I was snapping pictures, and Mike was chilling on the couch catching the score on a baseball game when the girls climbed on top of Uncle Mike. They love him, then again they also love the camera. I couldn't resist...look at that cheesey smiles! Angie Joined in the fun as well!

It was a great time. Unfortunately Angie took all the pics on me on her camera. So none of me on here, maybe at a later date!!

Birthday Girl

Last thursday I turned 28. Only 2 more years until the big 30! Sadly Justin has been working long hours lately, so I got to make my own dinner and birthday cake. Which is ok. Because that weekend we celebrated with friends and he took care of everything that night :) I woke up to my hubby and the girls telling me happy birthday. Then all day Kylee told everyone we saw, that it was her mom's birthday. She was so excited for me. Everytime she called for me she would say"Birthday Girl". It was so CUTE! All of my family called and wished me happy birthday as well as some friends. I felt very loved. When Justin got home, I got flowers...with Daisies! My fav! The friday I took the girls to play group. After that came home and Justin, the girls and I went and had lunch. Then we went and got some b-day gifts:)

Here I am the "birthday girl" cutting her cake and serving it up. Issy waited very patiently for her piece..lol, NOT! That is why she was served first. She loves cake!

Issy is enjoying her piece of cake, while Chelsey is telling me what piece she wants. Probably the one with the most frosting. Thats all she is worried about...Chocolate!
My gorgeous little Isabella! We had to wash her hair after she finished her cake. It got a bit chocolatey! But where is Kylee? She must of been enjoying her cake too much to realize Dad had the camera out...lol.
