My New Hair...

So call it a mid-life crisis...

Or needing a change because of the changing seasons.
Or whatever.

But I had my hair cut (by Angie) and dyed (by Mandy). So now, I'm a Reddish Head with a super cute A-Line haircut... :) You can't really tell "HOW" red it actually is, but it's still red.

I know... You all think I'm totally beautiful. :)

SNOW!?!

Welcome to Utah

One day its 70 degrees and sunny,

DINOSAURS! :)

Our ward has A LOT of kids in it and we have a "Playgroup" that meets once a week to do fun kids activities. It gives the younger kids a chance to socialize and the moms a chance to do the same. :) Yesterday, they went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. :) We brought our little friend Nick and Grandma and Grandpa Barlow with us. It was lots of fun. :)

Warmer Weather Vacations...

Robyn hanging out poolside...

Sandra (Miah's mom) booked 3 rooms in Mesquite during Heber City's Spring Break. It was a different week from Provo's, but we went with anyway!!! I checked DarTanion & Archer out of school and we left on Sunday. There were 9 of us. Sandra & Kaziah, Jessica and Draysen, and then Shandy and our crew (minus dad)!

And, Yes, I brought DarTanion's almost 15 year old girlfriend with us on vacation.
What?
You have a problem with that?! :)

Anyway, we had lots of fun swimming, watching The Parent Trap, sleeping, and just enjoying the WARM weather of Mesquite, Nevada!

Archer wanted to play in the water, just not GET IN the water
when DarTanion figured out his swimsuit floated, he had a BLAST!
