4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. We started out on Friday morning at 6:00 am. I have always wanted to go to the balloon fest in Provo. I thought this year was a good time since I knew Hannah and William would enjoy it too, so, we got the kids up and headed out. I think they had a good time despite the fact that they were up way to early. If you are wondering, yes those are ear plugs in Williams ears. My kids don't like loud noises and so all through the balloon fest and parade they both wore ear plugs and enjoyed the day a lot more.
We then went to the parade. Hannah loved all of the Princess floats. They both loved the big Curious George balloon.



























On Saturday we decided to go up to Timp. caves. I never knew that a caves could be sold out, but we got up there and, yes, they were sold out. So we went on a little hike instead.














Then we headed to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. William loved seeing all of the dinosaurs and the kids loved digging in the sand for dinosaur bones.















We had a great 4th of July!!!

Hannah's Hair cut

I have always really liked long hair. This probably came from my mom, who always kept my sisters and my hair long growing up. Most of our childhood, our hair was at our waist. So, I have kept Hannah's hair long. The problem that we had was that Hannah did not like to have her hair combed out or done up. Her hair was always tangled, she has a tender head, and whenever I did her hair in a braid or ponytail, by the end of the day she would have taken it out and it would be all tangled up again. So, I went and had the kids pictures taken on Tuesday (so if I missed Hannah's long hair, I could look at the pictures), and today I went and had Laura cut Hannah's hair. This is a before picture of Hannah and her long hair.

This is a between picture. We decided to cut enough hair to donate to Locks of Love. Hannah was excited that some other little girl might be able to wear her hair.







This is the after picture. Laura did a great job cutting Hannah's hair. The first thing that Hannah said when she looked in the mirror for the first time was, I look like Olivia, (her friend from St George). She loves her new hair cute and keeps going into the bathroom to look at her hair in the mirror.
