The fixing of the haircut Tyler gave Mikelle!

At Aunt Shanan's Salon getting the new "style"!
Shanan was able to blend most of it......just the one side where they chopped it straight across still looks kinda funny (see post below)!
She needs a headband and bow to look like a girl now!
I like this angle! :)
Everybody got a haircut while we were there! So cute! Thanks Aunt Shanan!
I just found these pics of Shaelynn in her cute little beanie! I love it!
She is such a little doll! Love that big open mouth grin!

Proof that 7 yr. olds are not qualified to cut hair!

I am soooooo sad! I was just starting to enjoy doing her hair in ringlets and and trying all these cute little girly hairdos! I thought I was past this stage for them......they are old enough to know better! I thought I was going to get away with the one little bunch of hair Tyler cut from the top of his own hair a couple years ago that was hardly noticeable!
Tyler cut Mikelle's hair off........and their explanation......"She wanted to scare the boys 'cause she doesn't like boys.....just Tyler!" And then after realizing what they had done.....she is now worried about scaring all her friends too! :( I have no idea how they reason at this age!
Why couldn't she have waited to scare them away till she was 16! I'm looking at these pictures and I still can't believe they did this! Hopefully Aunt Shanan will be able to fix it! ;)
But no matter what miracles Shanan can perform.....I don't think there will be any ringlets in her near future! *Sigh* Oh, well....she is still cute....and I suppose it will be a nice easy summer do....ha ha!

Update: More kidney stones, and a kidney infection, and the flu.....

Sorry, no pics.....but I don't think you'd want to see any with this story anyway!
I've been having issues with my right kidney off and on for a few weeks now...so here's a little update:

Saturday before Mother's Day I was having a good day (i.e. I could hardly feel any pain at all)!
We planted our garden, my parents came up, it was a fun day! About 9:00 p.m. it hit.....the pain came on hard and fast.....I thought I was going to die for the next 3 hours....which involved excruciating pain, throwing up from the pain, a priesthood blessing, Daniel massaging my kidney area and then finally some relief! There is always and episode similar to this while passing a kidney stone! Not fun! :( However what happened next had never happened before....my body kinda went into shock and I started shaking uncontrollably, this lasted for a while and then I was finally able to sleep! In the morning I had a fever, a pounding headache, felt weak, pulse racing, I could barely lift my head off my pillow, etc...HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ME.........HA HA! I felt like this for the next day and Daniel drove me down to St. George where I could get some help from my mom and my grandma! Yea!!! I felt the same on tuesday so I went to see a doctor who told me I looked like "death warmed over"......which is also how I felt! It turns out the kidney stones and infection had lowered my immune system and I had also caught the flu! Well, it is Thursday now and I am starting to feel better! Still got a ways to go, but I am grateful for the improvement thus far! I am also so thankful to my wonderful mother and grandmother who have taken such good care of me and my family! Love you guys! :) Also thanks to those who have called to check on me! You guys are so sweet!

Birthdays, Kidney Stones, 2 yr. olds and Mascara, etc...

My computer is having issues...I try to upload 5 images and it picks 2 and uploads them. So these pics are in random order! Also my body is having issues! I think I've got kidney stones again! Uuugggghhh! So if you don't hear from me it's because I'm laying in bed with my Lortab, lemon water, and heating pad! :( Or at least that's where I want to be!
Tyler turned 7 and had his first friend birthday party this year! It was last minute but he loved it!!! Here he is opening presents......Ben 10 Alien Force (whatever that is) is his favorite these days! He was very desciptive about what he wanted so I was able to find it pretty easy!

Eating cupcakes with all his friends! Crazy kids! :)

This is Austin with Mascara war painted across his face! It's funny 'cause a friend of mine just posted some pics of her little boy the same age as Austin with Mascara all over his face and I left a comment about it and that Austin hadn't done that one yet.....but I guess I spoke too soon! lol!

Playing duck, duck, goose at Tyler's party at the park! They ended with a water balloon fight and had a blast! I think it was a success!

I came into the living room and found Mikelle "reading" books to Austin and Shaelynn! It was so cute that I just had to grab the camera! When Austin looked up and saw me with the camera he gave me this big grin and said, "Cheeeeeese!"

More Mascara pics of my cute little boy!!! He is so silly!

Mikelle is just like a "little Mommy"! It's funny how girls are just innately that way! She loves taking care of the baby! And she does a very good job! She is a big help to me! :)
