Busy Week

It has been a crazy week. We have just been running from one thing to another and i just havn't had the time to get on here. Last night we went to Austin's baseball game and they played a really good game. So far they have won all but the first game. Austin got to play catcher and Sat he will try pitching so he is excited.

Well we finally convinced Allie to cut her hair short. She has really fine thin hair that just doesnt grow and she got a perm in it at christmas time to help give it some body while she tried to grow it out but the perm was just about out and not looking good so we knew we would either need to straighten it re perm it or cut it. She has such a long face with her long thin body so we really thought she would look alot better if she went short. We have been trying to convince her of this for a couple years now but you know how girls exspecially at the age of 11 and 12 are really getting into appearance and changes and having long hair. I just think that she will never be able to have long pretty hair like she would like. She just doesnt have the hair.. So I found a web site that allows you to upload a picture of yourself and try on diffrent hair styles so i picked several short cuts on her and showed her the picts and it kinda got her excited so we went in and cut it all off on monday. I think it really shows her face and eyes off alot. Made her face look fuller and not so drawn out. They cut a little too much off on the top and her bangs. It didnt quite look like the picture but hopefully in a month or so it will be about right. And at least this way its easy to do and she doesnt have to comb out the snarles and cry.. my girls have extremely tender heads so they just hate to have me comb their hair. Jessie wants to cutt off all hers as well just for that sole purpose but there is no way we will let her. She has such beautiful thick long hair. Well it used to be long until she kept playing barber shop with the scissors and cut off all her hair and logans. It was down to her butt and now it is just past the shoulders after a year of growing it back out. This was her at age 2

And after her haircut attept.. I cant imaging how long it would have been if we didnt have to cut it.

Austin had a 3rd grade choir concert on tues we went to and he did a great job. They sang some pretty difficult songs for being 3rd graders. They sang one song that was all in swahili... It has been fun hearing him practice at home. He has always liked singing. I will never forget when he was 3 or 4 and we went to temple square at christmas time to see the lights and as we were walking around he was singing at the top of his lungs the spirit of god like a fire is burning. He knew all the words to the first verse and he was just singing away. We had some senior missionarys stop us and say how cute that was and told him to keep singing and that he would make a great missionary some day. It was cute....

Anyways I am glad that tomorrow is friday however it's probably going to be the most busiest of days for us. I have a mothers tea party to go to in the morning with jessie at her school and she is so excited. She has to wear a dress and look neat she says and has to have her hair look nice and neat. Then go pick up logan. Just to get home in time for the air and heating guys come do some repair work on our heater. Then i have to run to the store to get food for a dinner that I am taking to a family in our ward who just had a cecerean birth. Then its get Austin to karate at 5 and pick up the babysitter at 6:30. Then its off on a dinner date with my husband while the kids get their first babysitter since moving here.. Yeah i am so excited.. Finally a date night.......We have only been here 5 months its about time we go out!!! LOL Another crazy run day...

Have a wonderful Mother's day weekend to all the mothers out there.
