Choice # three won the poll- and it is also the one I really wanted deep down :) I was feeling so washed out with the blonde hair. Anyway-there it is- my natural brown color (and I will be growing it out!)

Well once again my hair is driving me nuts- some days I just wish I could pull it up in a cute pony tail and go, and other days I like how fast drying short hair is. So I'm either growing it or cutting it- and I need to decide soon because it's past time for a trim if I want to keep it shorter!
I'm asking you all for your opinions (since my husband refuses to fall into what he thinks a trap whenever I ask for HIS preference).
Here are 3 options, please use the poll in the sidebar to cast your vote for the best look for me & I'll go for it. Thanks!

OPTION 1: MEMO (Mommy Emo) CUT & COLOROPTION 2: LONG AND BLONDE

OPTION 3: LONG AND BRUNETTE

You WISH you had these moves :) Ky is so funny, he will start dancing to any tiny clip of music- on TV or from his toys. And he LOVES to clap especially if he sees people on TV doing it. Kaden wouldn't be caught dead doing this even as a baby- it's so funny how DIFFERENT each kid is. Kaden is sorta moody and too mature for his age and Ky is my happy go lucky always cheery guy. We love them both just the way they are.

Well it's been a while since I've posted- we managed to stretch out the holidays till now so we've been busy relaxing, playing with new toys and visiting families. Christmas was wonderful, Kaden was so excited, and Ky loved unwrapping stuff (and eating it).

And I DID get a ticket to WICKED in May!!! THANKS Diana and Derek for freezing your buns off :) Love ya!

 

We unfortunately had two funerals in two weeks- first my great grandmother Brundage, and then Ty's grandma Kent. Both had lived a LONG full life, and are now at peace. Kaden was very interested in it all- he even has been lecturing me on the resurrection ("when the REAL Jesus comes back, my great great grandmudder and president Hinkwey (Hinkley) will come alive again!")

Our New Years was a blast- we had an eclectic bunch of friends over and the guys played Guitar Hero for 4 hours while the girls played with kids and talked...

Kyson has two bottom teeth now- and they are sharp! Good thing he's on the bottle...

Kaden had his first week of Sunbeams class yesterday at church, and he gave a talk! It is so cute, I'm going to try and upload it. He was the only kid who really spoke up and wasn't scared one bit!

And here's a video of Ky laughing (now that I've got this video posting down...)

Whew! That is a lot of info for one post! Now I get to blog-surf and catch up on everyone else's posts.

This past weekend Tyler and I celebrated our 5th anniversary! It's hard to believe...We farmed the kids (and dog) off to grandpa and grandma Kent and headed up to Eden to stay at a lodge for the weekend. I think we both agreed though that we are not bed and breakfast/lodge/Inn type people. While most people we know LOVE these kinds of places, all of the ones we've been to (i.e. Armstrong mansion, Alaskan Inn) have just not really done it for us. I guess we are more the big city downtown hotel atmosphere type... But don't get me wrong, it was a great weekend-it was nice staying up late and sleeping in, then staying in pj's till 1:30 in the afternoon. :)

And here is my gift from Ty (no fair, we said the trip was the gift...) It's really cool, plaque mounted...eventually it will hang in our movie room downstairs, but for now it's in the office! (I tried to convince him to let me put it on the ceiling above our bed, but he wasn't going for that...)
