WE'RE HAVING A VERY BAD HAIR DAY!

Well it finally happened. Cara thought she'd play beauty parlor with Ryleigh and this was the end result. Yesterday as I was helping my Young Women make our camp poster, we had laid the scissors down without thinking of course and Cara got a hold of them. I was so sad. I love Ryleigh's hair. It's part of her little personality. In the end I finally calmed down and realized it could have been a lot worse. Instead of taking the center of her hair out she could have cut Ryleigh bangs or taken the whole crown of her head off. Today when Cara woke up she told me that she did not "Choose The Right" yesterday and that she was going to be a big girl today and mind. I guess I need to remember little moments like this and realize that they're just part of being a Mom and small steps that we take towards gaining more patience.

WE ARE FAMILY!

Well my house is definitely a lot quieter today, but that's not necessarily a good thing. It almost feels lonely and empty now. It was great having my family in town. We definitely kept busy with touring downtown, eating out, ball games, shopping, and more. My Mom bought each of the kids an outfit for 3 of the days that they were here. We love, love, love when she does that. I loved meeting my little nephews for the first time. I definitely forgot how much work newborns are. Alyson and Angela are superstar Moms with lots of patience. The hardest part of the week was dealing with my little Ryleigh. She wasn't feeling good and was very irritable and whiny. She almost sent me over the edge a few times, so thanks family for being patient with her. Thanks to my Mom for all the cleaning that you did. You're probably feeling it today. My homesickness has been cured......at least for now!

The Memphis City Fire Museum

Some of my girlfriends and I took our kids to the Memphis City Fire Museum. It was fun for the kids and something new to do in Memphis. I thought this picture of all of them in front of the old fire engine was so cute. Who knows, maybe we have a future firefighter in the group.
