HaiR CuT dAy...

I was so tired of Kayshas hair always looking scraggly, so we decided yesterday that it was time for a hair cut. I have been mentioning it to her for the past few weeks to prepare her for this time. She really wanted to grow it out, but finally changed her mind after I showed her pictures from the last time she did it.

Look at this Hair!!!!

Cyra loves any opportunity to go out, so she came along on our girls "bright" out (according to Cyra it can't be a "night" out if the sun is still out, so she decided it must be a "bright" out) to watch Kaysha get her hair cut. Well, right before we left Cyra decided that she also wanted HER hair cut. I talked with James about it, as we were walking out the door, and he left it up to me to decided. The whole drive there I kept asking her over and over again if she really wanted to do it. I told her it would take a while to grow back and once she did it she couldn't change her mind. Each time I asked she insisted that she wanted her hair done too. We get there and I continue to ask her if she is sure, she always says yes. She did want Kaysha to go first though. So they get started on Kaysha and are about 2 minutes into it when Cyra tell me she doesn't want to do it anymore... 1 minute later they call her back to start on her hair. I ended up having to drag her to the chair, with tears starting to form in her eyes, when I sit her down she tells me she is afraid of the lady COMBING her hair. She is such a silly girl....

They both LOVE their new hair. Cyra didn't want to go to bed last night because she didn't want to mess up her hair, plus she didn't want it to be long again when she woke up. :)

First Day of School...

Today was Cyras first day of school! Last year at this time she had such a hard time going to school. Each time I had to bribe her with something and she would still cry, after a couple of weeks she finally got use to school and never cried again. It is so funny, to this day she still tells me how it was so silly that she use to cry at school. So this year we decided since she loved that school so much we would send her back to the same place. All summer long she would ask if it was a school day. She was so excited this morning to finally learn that TODAY was the day.

Cyra just LOVES clothes and shopping... so it was a hard decision this morning when she had to decide which outfit she wanted to wear today. She loves to wear dresses and skirts, but is very particular about what they look like. They can't be plain, they must be fancy... they need to flow when she swishes side to side. If I would just let her wear tutu's life would be so much easier for the two of us. :)

Jace and Cyra are so funny together... On their "good" days, he is really going to miss her while she is at school.

And thanks to Aunt Cyndi for all the fancy flowers for her hair... Not a day goes by where she doesn't want some type of flower for her hair.

Park City Getaway...

This weekend James and I got to spend the night (kid FREE) in Park City at the beautiful Hotel Park City. This place was amazing...

This is the view from the balcony of our cottage...

Inside there was a bed...

and a shower...

along with 2 flat screen TVs, Bose system,washer/dryer, kitchen with a microwave, stove, dishwasher and even a kitchen SINK. Let's not forget about the personal hot tub outside on the back deck. I don't think this place was missing anything... except all our friends to hang out and party with!

After we finished checking out our new pad we got dressed up for dinner where we had reservations at Ruth's Chris. Being our first time there we decided to order Julienne Potatoes... we now have learned that Julienne Potatoes are "FANCY" for "French Fries". Besides our fancy fries (which we sent back for PLAIN mashed potatoes) our food was amazing...also check out James' "fancy" water.

After dinner we changed our clothes

...and went to see Babylon A.D.--- Thought is was an awesome show until the END... then it left us totally CONFUSED (still 2 days later)

Then we were back to our room to contemplate the show while sitting in the hot tub...

Once our brains were fried from that, we thought it was time to snuggle on the couch to watch our all time favorite flick...

Of course you can't watch a flick without your popcorn and treats...

We paused the show to go out back to see some fireworks...

Of course we had to hit the Outlet Stores before we left...

and it wouldn't be a birthday celebration without James getting some sushi.

We wish we had more time to enjoy the place, it is definitely a place we will be returning to... next time we will have to stay a few days though.

Thank You to all those that made this birthday such a great one. We are surrounded by so many awesome people!

Thanks a butt load :)

BiTHdAy DiNNeR...

It's James' BIRTHDAY tomorrow (mine was yesterday) so our friends took us to PF CHANGS for dinner. It was my first time REALLY eating there, (we went there a few years ago but I wasn't into that type of food, I've finally grown up)I was surprised that it was very good! Darci was so concerned the whole time about what I was going to eat, but what she recommended was just what I wanted. Thank you for saving the night Darci! After we finished our meal the waiter brought out a HUGE Costco cake that Jared and Darin got for us.

This is CYNDI's piece of the cake. She requested the yellow balloon, so James strategically cut it out for her. Boy did SHE enjoy THAT...MMMMM....We didn't want Darin throwing a fit about not getting anything so we gave him a gift (his birthday was the 17th) and let him "pretend" to blow out the candles. He's so easy to please...Can you tell how excited Darci is that she will now be losing her husband for the next few weeks while he masters the next round of Rock Band?James' Fortune: "The sky is the limit"

See what I've had to put up with for the past 29 years... (29!? wow cyndi, you're getting old)Poor Russ gets to deal with her now... (sorry Russ, No returns or refunds)The waiter must of slipped something into our waters because everyone was a little crazy...Russ REALLY enjoyed his meal...

Happy Birthday JAMES!!!
