Isn't She Beautiful!

Cori is 4

I can't believe my baby girl is four years old! When I would picture being a mom years ago, I could only picture myself being a mom to boys. Sometimes I still can't believe I have a little girl! Cori had such a fun birthday. Here she is getting her ears pierced. At this very second, I was thinking that I was being a horrible mom to do this to her, but she was so brave. She didn't cry or even flinch.
And here she is right after. Isn't she beautiful?!
Cori got a new bike from mom and dad. She is so good at it already.
The pictures you didn't see are all the great clothes she got, and all the family that came to see her on her big day. Thanks everyone for loving our Cori as much as we do!
Cori picked out her princess cake. She is all girl!

More off track fun

I love it when Kamden is off track! It is my excuse to find fun things to do with the kids everyday. Here are just a few of the things we did while he was off. Three weeks goes by way too fast.

What A Weekend!!

We got away for the weekend!! Kamden is off track, so we took the opportunity to leave home. It was so warm in St. George, we didn't want to leave. We found out the kids are such good hikers. Wyatt hiked for hours without help...that boy does not stop.

Grandma and Grandpa were so fun to have with us.

McCall, Brady, and Kade went down into this cave. My kids wanted to go down so bad, but they have a chicken mom. It was atleast a thirty foot drop with bats flying around.

That is MCcall and Cori and Kade and Kamden in the go-carts.

And here is us at the St. George Temple.

I might laugh about this one day.....but, today I cried!

Oh what a day! Just look at what Cori has done! It has taken us four years to grow her hair out just as long as it was. Cori always talks about her cousin Isabelle and how she wants her hair to look like Isabelles. If you know Isabelle, Cori doesn't stand a chance, let alone with her cutting her own hair!

My poor baby! I walked out of my room and saw Cori with scissors in hand and hair was strung throughout the family room. I raised my voice to her quite a bit, and sent her to her room and told her to sit on her bed and not to get off any time soon. Thirty seconds later, she was behind me, saying, "But mom, I love you." My heart broke and I realized, this is just hair and it will grow back. But, that still didn't stop my tears. There are parts of her head that are cut down to the scalp. Good thing I have a good friend that helped us make my baby girl look beautiful again. On the drive home from the salon Cori looked on the mirror at herself and said, "I look so pretty, I look just like you mom."
