Graduation Day!

This morning I went in to wake up Emma, and I couldn't do it.

She looked so comfy and cozy, so I let her sleep in on her last day of Kindergarten.

Sorry about this picture being so blurry.
There were 31 kids in her class. Yikes!
Her teacher Mrs. Faucett is a saint.

She did so great in the program!

She was one of the 5 valedictorians in her class with a GPA of 3.75 or higher.

She is my little apron strings girl.

She want to do everything her mommy does.

She is so smart and is a sponge waiting to learn.

She loves it!

She can't wait for 1st grade.

She is going to be the best first grader ever!

I love her so much!

New hair New Me!

What is it about a new hair cut that just makes you feel so good?

This isn't a really great before picture, but you can see about how long my hair was before.

It was past my shoulders.

The new cut is called a Lob. (long bob)
If I straightened it out it would just touch my shoulders.
It is slight an A-line cut.
I did it myself because I really don't trust too many people with my hair.
Being a hair dresser, I have become picky.
I will only let my sisters do it.
And, they were not readily available to cut it at the time.



It even still looked good after I came in from a run.

I love it.

It is so liberating cutting your hair off.

I was talking to a friend the other day showing her different hairstyles in a book, and I mentioned to her that a lot of people go with the trends instead of what looks good on them.

It got me thinking that I was doing just that.

I have never been a long hair girl.

I feel better with short hair.

It fits my personality better.

I was trying to keep my long hair for dumb reasons like the fact that I have never had super long hair.?!?! Dumb...

Oh well, the grow out phase is over.

Don't cut your hair unless you are ready and willing or else you will hate it.

But if you are ready for a change and want to feel good with a new look for summer.....

Explore and search for your new doo!

It feels GREAT!

She's so serious!

Uncle Ben's guitar.
Emma pretending she knows how to play it.

Happy Mothers Day!

This is the best present I have ever gotten from my husband.

These are my first set of scriptures that have my name on them.

It made me cry when I saw them.

I told Russell that I wonder if they would mean so much if I hadn't have waited 33 years to get them.

They are perfect!

I immediately highlighted my favorite scripture in Ether 12:27

Happy Mothers Day to my Mom!

Happy Mothers Day to my Sisters and Sisters-in-law!

Happy Mothers Day to all of my Friends!

Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful Moms out there!

I love you!
