Curly hair???

If you are a hair stylist, proceed with caution....these photos of my attempt to curl Alexis' hair may scare you.....


My creative technique....twist small buns of wet hair...I'm not quite sure how comfy it was to sleep on, but she managed...

Then we take them out the next morning....

ok, was not too happy with the split down the middle...

wow...scary...

look at that poof! lol....she's laughing because she can't see the craziness on her head!

the only way to tame it was to ponytail it....

I'm sure we'll try it again!

Flower birthday card and more...

For my sister in law's birthday I created a bright girly card....loved those yellow flowers!
Mikayla made a card for 17 year old Alex....outside...

and the inside...

My creation for Alex's birthday....tried for the masculine touch...

love how this turned out....loved the brown, pink, and gray together...

I was digging through some older photos and found these cuties of Mikayla....what a sweetheart!

Too fun not to share....

just some fun pictures after church one Sunday....

my littlest angel, Alexis....what a personality she has...she is so quirky and silly, but she can be tough and very strong willed

she loves to have her picture taken...doesn't really like to color...likes to draw {a little}....loves to play with toy animals....loves shoes {especially ones she can slip on}....thinks everything is unfair {that's driving me crazy right now}....doesn't like to lose her TV privileges...doesn't like to go to the shop everyday...

likes to make silly faces...loves to drink strawberry milk...loves apple slices with peanut butter {or I should say peanut butter with a few apple slices}....is tall compared to her classmates....

likes to be behind a steering wheel {bikes, scooters, forklift, car, lawnmower, etc.}....not so much into crafts {really hope that changes}...is looking forward to starting soccer for the first time, this Spring....

likes to play games on my cell phone....is not very good about being quiet when daddy is sleeping in the morning....

has her moments when she loves to cuddles....has her moments when she doesn't want to give kisses...likes to chat on the phone....is my little peanut and I love her so much!

and my big girl, Mikayla...loves to help anyone and everyone....is a great leader for her little sister, Alexis....doesn't like that I still give her a bath {says she feels like a baby}....

would wear this style of dress EVERY single day {if I left her}....loves, loves, loves the color pink...loves to learn...is a terrific reader....doesn't empty her book bag like she should....has really outgrown her toddler bed {yes we are on the hunt for the perfect bunk bed set}....

likes to sing in the cherub choir at church....I love my princess, Mikayla....she will always hold a special place in my heart!

Night of Hockey...

Joe was one of the lucky winners at his work to win some free tickets to a local hockey game. We all went to cheer on the local Reading Royals on Sunday night.

Here we have the typical teen face....
Don't they look thrilled?... Mikayla asked if we were cheering for the Reading Phillies {for those of you that are not local...that is our baseball team...not hockey...HaHa}!

And the game begins...

when I watch football with Joe I can ask him "What did that call mean?" "What was wrong with that play?".....however, that is not the case in hockey....we are on an even playing field with this sport....we have no idea what the rules are!

WOW...that is scary....

Alexis didn't enjoy all the air horns...she has very sensitive ears {no idea where that came from}

mascot...SLAPSHOT...unfortunately we were not lucky to catch a flying T-shirt, not even close

2nd intermission....now they look a little happier...

she doesn't look too miserable in this shot....

and still our ham like usual

self taken shot....they always look bad....

Another self taken shot with Alexis...

He is crazy....He couldn't stay off Facebook even at the game....seriously I think he needs some FB addiction counseling!

more game shots....

or as Alexis would say...."that's when they were playing golf"....HaHa

since I played field hockey goalie I was really intrigued by how ice hockey goalies have to use their legs to cover the goal....it looks like such an awkward position....

when they were stretching at the end of the intermissions, Alexis asked "did the goalie have to go pee?"...I said "no, why?"....she said "because he was doing this" and she did her best to interpret the squatting position....what a bird she is!

And lucky for her, those air horns didn't keep her awake....she slept right through the last quarter....just like her mother, she can sleep anywhere Unfortunately, the Reading Royals lost...but we really had a good time out!
