The Fair

I took the girls to the fair the second day it was in town. It was over priced, greasy food, carn-ee filled goodness. Needless to say- we had fun! :o) THe girls got to ride a few rides and got to go on pony rides. They were stoked! Of course, I took a million pictures- heres your varely whittled down version- enjoy...

A pixie for ME

I got all my hair chopped off....I'm not crazy about it and am ready for it to be long again already, but alas here is a peak at my new locks- or lack thereof...

Monkey Business

Rassafer Leafs

The other night I made quiche for dinner. Now, normally the girls eat it just fine and Jason and I like it, and I really love it for the simple fact that its so simple to make.  I use a a frozen pie shell, simple egg mixture and add bacon and broccoli and some cheddar cheese. Yummy stuff. Anyways, the other night Zo was being ornery and decided she wasn't going to eat it because she didn't "like" broccoli. I tried to reason with her, threaten her, bribe her and everything in between, but she wasn't eating it. Jason walks over and asks her what her deal is. She tells him that she isn't eating it because it has broccoli in it and she doesn't like broccoli.  He looks at her and simply says..."oh that...that isn't broccoli, those are rassafer leafs." She looks at them, and then he asks if she likes rassafer leafs. She say she does, looks down at her quiche, and proceeds to kill the whole piece- eats like no ones business. Who know......add a bit of rassfer to your dishes and watch them disappear!! :o)

Trying to Save it......

I have decided to take the plunge and attempt to save our house from foreclosure. At this point it isnt as easy as just paying back the back payments...there is a whole slew of other things involved now. We filled out a bunch of paperwork and sent in everything except for our eye teeth. So now we wait. It's kinda intimidating, but in reality you would think that with all the forclosures going on, the last thing they would want is another one, and we are willing and able to make things right, so if they work with us a little bit then we can totally stop this from going south. I have my heart set on it, and I'm trying not to because I don't want to be disappointed if for some reason it doesn't work out, but that's easier said than done. I gave my 30 days to the apartment complex. I dont care what they do, but hopefully I can just pay Septembers rent and they will find someone to live there in the meantime and we can all walk away satisfied. I'm moving out of it in like 2 days, so they will have the whole month of September with a vacant apartment that is paid for. They could potentially get someone in there the first week of September and actually make double rent for that month. We will see, regardless, if our house doesn't work out then we will rent a diffrent house. I will have to wipe my tears away, but I'm fairly confident that we will be able to salvage this. We aren't too behind....well 5 months, but in the grand scheme of things it could be worse....right?!?!? Keep us in your thoughts and send some good luck our way if you have some to spare because God knows we could use it.

A pixie for Bella

I decided that it would be so much easier on school mornings to get B Bop ready if she didn't have so much hair. Every morning it's a fight. She cries and screams. We get frustrated. The whole brushing the hair and doing something with it thing was just getting to be a huge burden for all of us. So it was time to get it cut. I think all of us girls have had our hair in just some ridiculously short cut at least once in our lives- this was Bella's turn, she was getting a pixie cut. On Saturday Isabella had an appointment to get her haircut at one of our favorite hair salons in Boise, Graffitis, and we were excited.

We were actually super  happy with it once we got her home and played with it a little bit. She loves it. It makes it super easy in the mornings and she has her own little hair pomade stuff she uses. She feels so 'grown up' with that stuff..... it's cute.

Swimming Lessons

The girls started their swimming lessons yesterday. They both loved them. This is Bella's second year of lessons and ZoZo's first.
