My worst fear has come true!

It is something that every family goes through but, when it happened to us I was truly hoping for the best. Instead I got almost the worst. I know I am being kind of silly but, it has happened my beautiful little girl decided to cut all her hair off.  Make fun all you want but, I totally cried. My sweet Jordyn was known by her hair. We couldn't go out in public without at least one person telling her how pretty her hair is. I think the part that breaks my heart the most is that I am pretty sure that her gorgeous ringlets that she has had from birth I will never see again:( 

 We went from this......

 and this.....

 to this. This is the mug shot right after she did it. Now after frantically finding someone on a Sunday to fix it we now have this......

 She even tried it on a doll and about a week later on herself again. I caught her in time so that there wasn't much more damage. She has now been told by not only myself but, by Aunts and Uncles what will happen if she does it again. For example Uncle Joe told her that she won't get any more treats when she knocks on his door to say HI after school and there were others. Mine wasn't so nice, so I am hoping it will happen no more.

Yep it is all gone!!! It has broke our hearts but, she is still my beautiful little princess.  I decided after now two weeks I must let it go and stop frowning when I see it because we had a Ward Christmas party last night and she didn't want to sit on Santa's lap because she was afraid that he would see her hair and put her on the naughty list. I told her she is beautiful and that he will love her. So she went and asked for finger nail polish! OYE!!!

We will survive!!

I tease Cory a little bit lately that if the world goes to crap and we have to revert back to hunting our food that we would starve, because he has gone fishing a number of times with the boys and has yet to catch anything. Also, Cory's good friend talked him into to going hunting this season. The first hunt was for an Elk (bull) and he didn't bring anything home that time either. So just to get him riled up I tell him he has to pick his game up so we don't starve. Then he went on the deer hunt and called me on his way home telling me how disappointed he was and didn't want to hear me giving him a hard time. When he got home he asked one of the boys to go out to the back of his truck and get something out of it and they found a stinky, dead deer in the back! My kids thought that it was the coolest thing and Cory and Dan was bouncing around and saying in your face to me.  They may of had to shave a little hair off the ears to measure the horns to make it legal but, hey they got something and I am so proud. Cory was so ecstatic and we got some yummy jerky out of it so it was a successful trip. Now in January they are going to try and get a Elk (cow). So I am crossing my fingers!

They hiked in a bit so they had to lug the deer quite a ways back to the truck. This picture makes me laugh:)

Belated Holiday

Happy Halloween!

Halloweens coming, Halloweens coming, Halloweens coming

OOOOOOOOO Boo!!!

Witches, Bats, and big black Cats

and creepy Skeletons are coming after YOU!!!

This was a favorite song sung by Jordyn all Halloween season:)

Once again I am a slacker and way behind on my postings but, here it is anyway.

 Jordyn's pre-school class does a little parade around the cul-de-sac at the end of school on Halloween for the parents to come and watch and then they so patiently line up for a bunch of pictures. Sooo cute!

 Jordyn picked out this super pretty Periwinkle costume this year.We put sparkles everywhere and I loved it.

 The boys Elementary school does a parade also first thing Halloween morning. Is it Ty or Jack Sparrow?

 Yes we have now begun the gory costumes with Ashton. I was impressed by the dripping blood affects.

 You may recognize this because all the boys wore it around the same age. But, everyone looked great in it.

 This is the first year in eight years we didn't get a picture with the Wilson family so it is just my kiddos (and a cute strawberry shortcake neighbor). I was a little disappointed but, life is getting too busy as the kids get older to coordinate our schedules. Even with my own kids we had to divide and conquer. I took the two little ones who are slower and Cory took the boys all the way to kingdom come and back.

 I just had to get a picture of this. Watching the boys dump their loot out to see what they got and to divide, trade,and eat it made Cory and I very nostalgic.

Yum! I deffinately snatched a few pieces. I feel like it is only my right to make them pay a little taxes:)
