Look What I Did!!

I got creative yesterday. I can't even describe to you how important the perfect hair cut is to my little brother Jeff. I was taking some serious risks of being hated for a few months until it grew back out, but I think it turned out great, and luckily... so does he!!
Here are the before and after shots;



As Promised

I am working for my mom today while she is in Vegas at a hair show. That means I am sitting at the computer doing random things, like shopping online ;) and looking at pictures. Here are some pics of Sadie when she got stuck in the stair railings;



100 Pictures

What is the best way to post 100 cute pictures of family, friends, reunions, etc? :)
Until I figure out how to bore you with my really long slide show, I will post this one picture. I love it!

All Signs Point to Yes!

My brilliant friends were correct! Brady is teething. I am so glad I didn't take him in to the dr and pay $200 to hear that.
I didn't even consider that he would be teething since my girls didn't get teeth until about 9 months. My mom was suspicious, but I was oblivious.
As soon as those teeth pop through I will post pictures... so probably in about a month. :) I love that. :P

Second Guessing

Do I take Brady to the dr or not? He keeps grabbing his ears and he has had a cold lately. He also keeps crying randomly. He is a VERY calm baby and rarely cries.
My dilemma is that I have taken each one of my babies at this age and asked the dr if they have an ear infection. Each time I have been told, "No, she just found her ears."
It didn't bother me because I would rather be safe than sorry.
HOWEVER, I am in Utah right now. That means if I take Brady to the dr it will cost me $200.00 to make sure it isn't because Brady just found his ears. The clinic here makes you pay full price for the visit then submit a request to be reimbursed by the insurance company.
I still haven't been reimbursed for the dr visit from when we were here in February and found out Brady had RSV. $200.00 is a lot of money!
I realize this is a boring post, but I can't stop going back and forth on this!

Nutrition

Sadie: I want more chocolate milk.
Me: Sadie, you didn't eat your sandwich, yogurt, or fruit. You are not having more chocolate milk.
Sadie: But I ate my cheetos.
Me: Cheetos are not good for you, Sadie.
Sadie: Yes they are, they have cheese in them.


Riiiiiight.

Tastes Funny... Tastes Like Paint.. And Wood...

This morning I was happy to sit down to my big bowl of fiber cereal again after gaining about 20 pounds at our family reunion, eating everything from pancakes and sausage to gooey chocolate brownies every 15 minutes.
I pulled out a medley of fiber cereals to mix it up. One of the cereals was the new Fiber One cereal "Caramel Delight". It is a bowl of 9 grams of fiber with a sweet caramel flavor. Quite lovely. :)
I was telling Sean that I actually thought it was pretty good.
That was when Bethanie piped in with,
"I tasted it. I thought it tasted like a box."

I found that a pretty good description for fiber cereal. :)
