Jordan's misshap

well, it was inevitable. the girl cuts off all her doll's hair, so how much time until she did her own?! the answer: yesterday. i had to finish, and the result made me want to cry. i realize i am not "cut out" to be a hair stylist. ha ha. but after having a day of getting used to it, i think it is kinda cute. she is so happy for 3 reasons: 1. no hair in her face (she asked for that specifically, hence the bangs) 2. it doesn't get so many tangles now 3. (the best reason in my opinion cuz it makes me laugh) she said she looks just like the girl on charlie and the chocolate factory now (violet, the gum chewer, who jordan is constantly trying to emulate "i am going to beat the world's best gum chewing record"). how can you not love this girl?!

jordan's handiwork...

mom's best attempt at saving it...

i know, i KNOW...!

ok, ok i know it's been FOREVER! it's so much work to keep up on the blog (whine whine complain). here are a few pics to satisfy those of you who have complained that you want an update on the kiddos! lol

jordan and kyle thought it would be great fun to throw the leaves around...

kyle thought it would be fun to run across the leaves, but gravity got the better of him, and he ended up on his bum instead!

for the few of you who may not know, i got a new puppy right after thanksgiving. his name is gizmo, he is a maltese/chihuahua mix, and super tiny (just the way i like dogs!). he is 3 months old now, and when i took him in to get his shots, weighed in at exaclty 3.7 lbs! he is a really good dog - he's not yappy at all (i have only heard him bark when he is playing with a toy, and he thinks he gonna attack it).

random pics...

ok here's a rare sighting... a normal picture of my 7 year old NOT making goofy faces for the camera! he is actually very photogenic in my opinion (when he's not busy being goofy lol)

playtime in the water shoots at disney's california adventure...

zachary didn't like us getting him wet...

he's more of a "do-it-yourself" kind of kid! lol

 
bad hair day?! hee hee

random funny pic of kyle... could we get just a little more dirt, i only see one spot!
 

jordan thinks she is a little model...

but i guess if the shoe fits... my beautiful baby girl!
  the kids just LOVE throwing rocks in the water (why do we even buy toys?)

kyle decided to go big time....

but he should probably leave that to dad!

random...! (but still so cute - i just love that little grin of his!)

here is a great picture of jordan and her friend elias chasing each other around the tree. they both went to scare each other, but each went the opposite direction. what a lucky moment to snap the picture!

zachary before his karate test

this picture of jordan cracks me up every time i see it!

 zachary doing a flip...

i bet none of you knew that jordan is working toward a future career as a troll doll...!

this is funny... william was trying to bounce liam just a little bit so he would have fun and not be scared, but kyle ended up getting launched!

oh my goodness, could it be? andria in a picture! don't get too used to that happening! i have an obsession with being BEHIND the camera! lol i only put this in here so you guys would know i still exist and contrary to popular belief, i am NOT a myth! what's goin on with the hair, jordan?! how in the world does she find static cling in the middle of the forest?!

at the park...
