Emma gets a hair cut!

Emma has been begging me to let her get a hair cut for weeks now. I finally caved in and said okay.
So this is her hair before. It was braided the day before so it's all wavy, I love it!

She was so excited!

This is after the hair cut. I miss the long hair already, but she Loves this new hair cut!!!

I can tell you that I DON'T miss the tangles! She has is such a little girl! Today she keeps saying things like "Mom, did you know I got a hair cut?" (repeated 4 or 5 times an hour), "mom, I wonder if anyone will know me at school" and "I want to show my friends my new hair cut"!

Vernon and Jessica's Wedding

On February 24th my sister Jessica called us up and said "Vernon and I are getting married...on March 7th". That's right less then 2 weeks notice! That's okay though, cause our family has a history of short engagements...I think hers takes 1st place for short notice! :)

Emily, Darien and Cale waiting to the wedding to begin. They were very excited!

My mom made the wedding cake.

The Littlewolf family

All the kids were eating the frosting off flowers. It was a fun crazy day, but well worth all the craziness! Now we are just waiting for baby Alex to join the family!

Bald Eagle

One morning we looked out our window and saw this bald eagle in the field. He stayed there digging in the grass for a good half hour and was even joined by a female eagle! The kids loved watching them.

Snow!!

We got quite a bit of snow in February! My mom got even more snow so we spent a day up at her place.

The kids built snow men while I shoveled the driveway so we could get the cars in and out. Sadly the day wasn't all fun. My mom broke her ankle while looking for the snow man's arms.

The kids were in heaven in the snow!

There were many snowball thrown that morning!

Pacific Science Center

Yesterday my mom and I took the kids down to the pacific science center and met with my sister Jessica, Vernon and their 3 (almost 4) kids and my brother Joshua. The kids were all excited to see each other again. The science center was pretty crowed so it was a little stressful keeping the kids together, okay it was mostly Daniel who kept running off.




Daniel enjoyed the aquarium area, but wouldn't touch the hermit crabs.

Daniel and Joshua are good buds.

Noah LOVED the bug section of the center! My mom wasn't very excited about this area at all! She wouldn't even go near the butterfly house.

The kids in the butterfly house.

Daniel spent most of the time in the butterfly house sitting by the fish pond. I don't even think he saw the butterflies flying around him, he had his eyes on those fish the whole time!
After we finished with the science center everyone came back up to my house and had dinner. Then the guys went out to the shooting range and had some fun there. It was a busy fun day and the kids all slept great last night!

My Boys

Took some pictures of the boys yesterday while Emma was at school.

Jacob is now rolling around really well. He doesn't stay in one place very long.

Jacob, Daniel and Noah.

Jacob sitting up. He hasn't quiet masted sitting by himself, but we are close. I can tell you that he has mastered throwing himself off the couch. He will sit on the couch and start rocking forward until he catapults off the couch. You would think that after the 3rd or 4th time of hitting the floor he would learn not to do that....


Lesson Learned....

So the other night I was sitting in the living room reading. I noticed Emma over by the baby swing playing with something. All of a sudden there was a big flash and a buzzing sound. Emma jumped back really fast. Kendall came running into the room cause he saw the flash from the kitchen. She was playing with a metal watch and it got wrapped around the cord that was plugged in. She started to unplug the cord to get the watch off and it made contact with the power. She started screaming and I noticed her fingers were black at the tips. I took her into the bathroom to run cold water over her hands thinking she had been shocked and was burned. The black marks washed off and she said she wasn't hurt, just scared. Amazingly she didn't get shocked. But she wouldn't go near any outlets for a while.

Kendall had a nice long talk with her and made her help him fix the outlet. The screw was melted into the plastic. Kendall had her cut the wires and overcome her fear. She is one lucky girl and won't be playing around the outlets anytime soon. We gave her a new nickname, Sparky.
