Snow Day

Some of our favorite pictures from our first snow day.

One Hairy Mess

No, it's not a dead animal, although it sure looked like one!

My friends, what you are viewing, is a picture of Eunice's hair.

THAT'S A LOT OF HAIR!!!!

And this is what's left of it.

She absolutely loves it!

Thanks, Lindsey, you rock!

(My turn next!)

Haircut

Addie has a new haircut! And she really loves it...I promise! I asked her to pose for some pictures...and these are the faces I get. I asked her to smile, but she said "Mommy, models don't smile." The last picture has the most smile I could get out of her.

We are SO glad that our friend Lindsey is home and willing to come cut our hair.

Tune in again this time next week for pictures of Eunice's fabulous new hair cut!

Happy Halloween!

Pictures of my beautiful girls on Halloween. They both looked great and had such a fun night!

"Piratess" Eunice

"Hannah Montana" Addie



"It's the best of both worlds!"

Tooth Number Two!

Tooth number two came out today! It's been loose for a while, but just kept hanging on. Addie decided it should come out on Halloween.

Super Pink!!!!

Eunice attended a Stake Youth Dance on Saturday night. It had a Halloween theme and costumes were encouraged. She put this together by pulling things out of Addie's dress up box...and then I embellished it with some make-up, glitter, and funky hair. She called her self "Super Pink". Addie asked her what her super powers were. She said that everything she touched would turn pink, and she also had the ability to fly. The pink belt around her leg is her gravity belt so she won't fly away. (Smart thinking!)


Nice pose.


Trusty steed!



Super Pink to the rescue!




So dang cute!

And this is my girl who doesn't like pink!

I was tagged.

Apparently I have been tagged...but didn't notice until now. Sorry Tami! I've been so buried in the books that I haven't been keeping up on all of your blogs. So I guess I need to write 7 weird or random things about me. So here goes:

1. I can't wink.

2. I get really bad headaches from mint.

3. I have cousins that I have never met.

4. I have been known to pull over on the highway to investigate roadkill up close.

5. I once considered being a mortician...and I look forward to taking Cadaver Anatomy.

6. I once was a fast-pitch softball pitcher....in my younger years.

7. I earned an academic award in elementary school that was signed by Malcom-Jamal Warner of The Cosby Show.

First Tooth!

Addie had a very exciting Sunday...she lost her first tooth! It had been wiggly for a while, and she'd get up her courage and ask me to pull it out, and then would get worried. Finally on Sunday she let me do it. She was so proud, she first called her best friend and told her all about it. Then she called 'her Michael' and her grandpa. Once we arrived to church she was all smiles and had to inform everyone about this wonderful event. Here are some pictures from the morning after the Tooth Fairy had visited.

She's so proud of that hole!

The gift and fairy dust from the tooth fairy.

A fairy dust kiss on her cheek.

First Day of School

I'm so lucky to have children who love the first day of school. I always dreaded it...but they get so excited. Here are some pictures of their smiling faces.

I told Addie that I wanted to take a "first day of school picture". She ran and jumped up on the couch and posed for me.

On the way to the bus stop...hand in hand with the boy down the street.

There's the bus...and poor Addie loaded down the the mass amount of supplies required of a first grader.

Eunice's first day...well first full day...and taken after school. She doesn't show quite as much enthusiasm as Addie did...but here's one for the record.

A new year...a new beginning.

Today's my birthday. Another year older. The new school year also began this week. The three of "us girls" are all in school now. It's going to be a wild ride I'm sure...but I'm SO looking forward to all of the ways that we will learn and grow. I've always felt that September is when we should celebrate the "new year" and make resolutions. My new year's resolution is to start a blog. I want to keep everyone up to date on the Wild and Unruly ways of the Bolton Women. And so far I've kept my resolution. I hope you'll check back often for updates on our little family.
