Wake me up before you go go

Happy Tuesday! Again, I have neglected the blog for longer than I had planned but there are some valuable updates ahead! We have been in Utah a whole month! Can you believe it?!?! We can't! It has been really good to be back and we have really enjoyed spending time with family, going out with friends and just being back in Zion. Still no word on our house in AZ, our realtor said there has been a lot of action this week which is good and we are planning on raising the asking price (even better). I am uber excited to be back in AZ in April for the Pat Tillman run...warm weather and good friends.

We have had a busy couple of weeks. We are done painting the upstairs which means we are making the move to demo the basement. That is going to be when the REAL work sets in- we set a completion date of 7/4/2010...BBQ, family and friends over....should be manageable. This is the kitchen AFTER- still not quite all the way done but in comparison to the before...a MAJOR improvement.



















Mark is enjoying his job. It is still so weird to send him off every morning and I stay home to spend my days @ the aquarium or doing laundry. He is doing a good job and I am so glad that he likes it. Our new ward seems pretty cool. We are also super excited because we got conference tickets for the Sunday morning session. I haven't been to conference in 6 years so we are pretty excited.



Mc loved the aquarium! Consequently, she has learned what an "ish" does and we now have a good place to let her run on colder days. I couldn't believe the sting rays. They are flapping out of the water to let you touch them. It was awesome!
You can also see we have ventured to fancy hair. She doesn't leave it in very long (usually nap time consists of her yanking out her hair, her earrings and taking off her socks/pants/ all of the above). Still cute!

The kitchen looks great!! And her hair looks darling. It's so much fun when you can start doing their hair. I've been obsessed with making flowers and Karli is loving wearing headbands with big flowers on them, so cute!! Can't wait till you're here next month. Will be fun!!

That's no mullet!! That's just cute! Lucy doesn't have nearly that amount yet so these days she looks a bit, well, scody (this may be a Shelley word, not sure). Your kitchen is looking great! You two sure know how to polish a turd (that one comes from Mark...in reference to one of the many 70s apartments we have graced).

The kitchen looks FAB! I can't even tell you what an improvement it is since we lived there. I can't wait to see what you guys have done with the entire house! We need to get together so we can make up some bows!

Wow! That kitchen is a big improvement indeed! Mc's hair looks ultra adorable. When I first started doing that with Ava, she pulled it out so much that she nearly balded herself on top. So, we cut a short bob and did nothing with her hair for about 6 months. Anyway, when are we going out? I'm going to talk to Brian and call you guys when we have a free weekend.

I like her hair!
Mine usually pulls her hair out during nap time as well. i try not to go anywhere after that anyways.
I'm glad I could help you find new hair dos to try.
