Must have been a beautiful baby!

Sireena did this way cute photo shoot right by our apartment here in Columbia South Carolina. 

Hair Cut and Prayer

Cicily has been in need of a hair cut for awhile.  It was to the point that it was starting to look like a mullet, and no one should have a mullet.  So I cut her hair and let me tell you it was frustrating to cut a 22 month old girls hair.  They don't hold still.  ahhhhh!  Luckily it turned out good. 

And for about a week now she's been praying.  I help out with the beginning and the end though.  Yesterday though her prayer was so cute I had to share.  It went like this:


I said: " Dear Heavenly Father, We thank thee for this day"

Cicily Said:  " Dada home,  Dopey home, Lella home (translation Cinderella), Peter Pan home, amen."

Soooo cute.

South Carolina

Well we're all moved in to our new apartment.  I LOVE IT!  It's the biggest nicest apartment we've ever lived in.  It has a screened in balcony so no bugs and Cicily has plenty of room to run around.  We also live basically right next to the largest earthen dam in the US and we walk it about every other day.  We live in the same building as Sireena and Robert, so Cicily and I hang out with Sireena and their kids quite often.  There is a playground and a pool with a little kiddy area that's only 6 inches deep.  Cicily loves them both.  So we're doing really well here in Columbia.  We took a few family pictures while we've been here too.

Hair Cut!

So I've always wanted to try and go red with my hair, but I've always been afraid to.  Well today I got the courage and dyed my hair and chopped it off again.  and here are the results. 

We also had our last Sunday family dinner this week and we took a few pics of that as well. 

Scaring mommy!

Cicily yesterday decide that putting car keys in an outlet seemed like the logical thing to do.  Ya mommy didn't think so.  It scared mommy pretty bad and grandma too.  We have outlet covers on the outlets inside the house.  We didn't really think the outlets on the outside of the house needed them perhaps we were wrong.  Luckily the keys were the type that have a plastic head covering the key, she tried to put it in the small circle hole instead of the longer flat holes, and no one got hurt or even a shock.  Angela gave the suggestion that she was creatively scaring us instead of saying boo.

Zoo!

My parents for Easter paid for Heather, Whitney, Cicily, Keely, and myself to go to the Zoo in Salt Lake.  We had a lot of fun we didn't get very many pictures though before the camera died, sad.  Here are the pictures from the peacocks, the elephants, and the rhinos.

Smelling the Flowers!

It's spring time again and that means flowers.  Cicily's now almost 2 and we told her to smell the flowers, and this is the response we got. 





Evidently you put flowers in your nose to smell them.
