Jared was going to the chiropractor a few days a week, so I’d meet him and feed Eli lunch. One day we went to Sugarhouse Park to watch the geese.
Halle was constantly disagreeing with us in the car on the way to Grandma Koren’s, so Jared pulled off the freeway into a parking lot and made her stand in time out. It was Sunday and there weren’t any cars around, so it’s not like she was being humiliated in front of others.
May is the season for the annual crawfish boil!
Eli wanted to say cheese and have a photo session.
Halle got her hair cut on May 25. We’ve done minor trims, but nothing like what we did that day. She was fed up with me brushing her hair and decided she wanted it cut. I figured she’s old enough to make that decision. I made the appointment, which she promptly wanted me to cancel because she was so nervous. I made her go through with it because I thought she would really like her hair short (and she does).
Before (and right before a soccer game)”
This is during the soccer game, right before the haircut.
During. She’s never had her hair washed in a sink and she liked it.
She wasn’t mad about the haircut, I just happened to catch her making this face.
She wasn’t a huge fan of having her hair blow dried.
After:
We played in Grandma Joan’s backyard on a new water slide thing she got. I think this is Eli’s first experience in a hammock, and he loved it.
Halle, Eli, Amyah.
On our way home Eli fell asleep, and stayed asleep when I laid him on the couch. Jared told me to wake him up because he was afraid he wouldn’t go to bed later that night. Instead I just sat there and stared at him. He was so cute I felt horrible waking him!
Cuteness.
In February we prayed hard and decided it was time to leave my job and be a full time mom. I gave 3.5 months notice, and May 31 was my last day at the U. I worked there for almost 10 years!
To celebrate we went to a Girls Night Out thing at Thanksgiving Point. Sadly this is the only picture I took, but it’s a great one.
