Family picture

As we were getting ready to leave the house for Allison's doctors appointment today I realized that all us girls were wearing cream and Darren was wearing a light tan colored shirt so we decided to take a picture of our matchiness. I don't think we have taken a picture of all of us since we were in the hospital having Allie. So here is a more up to date one.

Christmas dress

Darren's parents always send the grandkids dresses or suits for Christmas, so today Emmie and Allison got to wear them to church. We were running late so we only got a couple pictures of Emmie in hers. We'll have to catch Allie next week. We were trying to take them fast and Emmie wasn't really cooperating so we only got one decent one and the rest she is goofing off or giving attitude. Such as this one.

Cow Story

So Emmie has a new thing where she not only gets a bedtime story, but she wants to tell a bedtime story as well. So tonight Darren was putting her to bed and told her a story about a green delicious apple. After his story was over Emmie's story went as follows..."Once upon a time there was a beautiful cow who went mooooo mooooo blaah blaah, and threw up all over. Then some boys came over to ride the cow and the cow went blaah and spit up on the kids and they lived happily ever after. The end." We have no idea where she comes up with these interesting tales but they make us laugh and shake our heads nonetheless.

New Dos

So Emmie and I went and got our hair cut yesterday. I took a before picture of her in case I decided to take a plunge and chop her beautiful locks when we got there. Well, Darren and I decided to give her an easier hair do and opted for a bob. Yes as lame as it might sound I cried when they did the first cut, I couldn't believe I was cutting such gorgeous hair. But we love her short hair now. It's so easy and totally fits her bouncy personality. I don't have a picture of her yet with it actually done so the after pictures are of it freshly cut and it doesn't really flip under as much. I was going in to get my hair colored and trimmed after Emmie's appointment but after chopping Emmie's hair I decided if she could do it so could I so I took about 9 inches off of it after all the layers were cut. I didn't take a before picture of myself because I didn't think I would take that much off when I first went in, but when I was sitting in the chair I told her to go ahead and start chopping.

I don't know what's going on with my face in this picture. Maybe I was talking when Darren took it or something. I look like I am trying to whistle.
