Are you sure you want to??

Well, Marina's insisting finally worked! She has been asking and asking for me to take her to get her hair cut. I would always say something like, "Just a little bit right?" To which she would reply,"Nope, I want it short!" So then I would put it off and put it off. Well, today I have officially signed her up for Pre-School. I finally gave in, so that she would look nice going to school, and so she would feel special just like the other kids when they get ready for school. (She was really bummed when all the girls got to get their hair cut for school.)

When we got to the salon, everyone kept asking,"Are you sure??" And without any hesitation she would say,"Yep!" I asked them if it was long enough to donate, and they said it was. So, we decided to donate it. When I went to pay, they said it was free since she was donating it, and that they would mail it in for us. Of course, I didn't have my camera on me, so I snapped one with the phone. After she was done and hopped off the chair, she looked at me while flipping her hair,"Do you wuv it mommy?" She had the whole salon oohing & aahing!!

Babysitting Has Paid Off!

Aspen has been babysitting quite a lot lately, and she has been saving her money with a specific goal in mind. She wanted a Nintendo DS. I am really proud of her for saving up and paying her tithing. She is learning quickly how to get what she wants herself!!

Great Job Aspen!!

Go Colts!!

We had the opportunity to go and check out the new Lucas Oil Stadium...New home for the Colts! The tickets were free, and I just so happened to get some. They sold out very quickly, but I was able to get some off of Ticketmaster, right in my own home! Awesome! The kids were super excited. They sure have become Colts fan real fast. They even know most of the players, even though we don't really watch the games.

So, it was us and 20,000 other people in our tour with us. There were several tours with 20,000 people in each tour. Needless to say, it was C-R-A-Z-Y!! Indianapolis Colts Fans go all out. They even had their faces painted just for the tour. Lucas Oil is an awesome stadium, and we had a lot of fun checking it out. One of these days, we'll have to find some decently priced tickets, so we can go and watch them play!

First Day of School!

The kids were so excited to start school today. Ryker and Harley will be at the elementary school together, while Aspen and Sierra will be at the Intermediate school together. Marina is sad that she won't have anyone to play with. I guess I may have to start looking into some kind of pre school I can put her in. I can't believe how big they are getting! Enjoy!

Hey All You Las Vegans!!
