The latest happenings

I don't have near enough time on the computer as I would like but yesterday I had a moment to look at other people's blogs and I noticed some links to cute blog backgrounds so I took a couple minutes and tried out a new background style. If I had more time I would have spent lots of time looking for the perfect background but I don't so we will give this one a try for now. Last week I finally took the girls to get their pictures taken professionally, they turned out really cute. They had their pictures taken in the green dresses pictured at the top of the blog. Last weekend we bought a Vitamix blender. It is the latest craze in our ward down here, so I jumped on the bandwagon as well. We wanted to get one to grind wheat but it also grinds up everything else you can think of and makes soups and ice cream in it as well. We have enjoyed trying to make new things in it and it has been nice to throw fresh fruit and vegetables in the vitamix to feed Aubrey. There is a green drink that I make in it that is pure fruit and vegetables and Hailey likes to drink it. I think it will be a drink I make a few times a week just to make sure we are getting the fruit and veggies we need. This is what the vitamix looks like and that is the green drink inside of it. I know it doesn't look too appetizing but it tastes good.

Shortly after I took a picture of it we started having some green drink issues.
First I spilled it all over the counter when I was trying to pour it out

Then Hailey spilled it all over her mouth and the floor

And Aubrey is always a mess when she eats but she's just cute

Yum, Yum!
I think every child tries to cut their own hair some time in their life. This week was the week that Hailey tried. She had just dressed up in her new dance outfit and we were out on the porch when she noticed a chunk of hair on the ground; I gasped at seeing the chunk and couldn't figure out how it got there. I picked it up and started comparing it to my hair to see if I had some how chopped it or I thought maybe I was having postpartum hair issues. Then I compared it to Hailey's hair and still didn't know because our hair color is similar. Then I looked at her scared face and asked her if she knew what had happened and she said "yes" but she didn't want to tell me. So I promised her she wouldn't get in trouble and she told me she had cut it in the computer room with her scissors because she was trying to make it pretty. After investigating the crime scene and seeing only another small chunk I took a look at her hair and for the life of me could not figure out where she had cut it. Her hair is so curly and wild that it made no difference that she was missing some hair. Hopefully she is scared enough that she won't try something like that again.

Well I should have some other blogs later this week but that is all for now.
