Converting to the Dark side...

So about this time every year, I get an itch to something different with my hair. I keep it blonde all summer, and enjoy that...but it's just time for a change. Last year I went really dark, and that was fun, but this year I decided to not go AS dark. Because my hair was so blonde, the color will fade and the ultra blonde will start to look more like natural highlights. (which I would have if I didn't color at all....hmm...) Anyway, here are some pics! :)


This is before...you can tell I'm in need of a trim too!

And this is after! Sad that I grew up blonde and the

dark looks more natural these days. ??

I like it! I think it's cute!

Me and my sweetie! He's such a cutie!

Tyler loves kisses!! His new thing is that if he sees me give kisses to Kassi or Ricky, no matter where he is, he walks/crawls his way over to me with his mouth open wide! The whole time he is making popping noises with his mouth. When he gets to me, he doesn't even hesitate. He just puts his big open mouth kiss on my lips! To those who don't have kids yet this may be disgusting, but every mom out there knows how sweet open mouth kisses are from their babies! I love it! Gosh kids are great!

Ok so I totally didn't think I was going to do stuff like this, but I guess this week was kinda boring and I can't think of anything to post...so here it goes!

FHE

So for family home evening...we usually sing a few songs and talk to Kassi about temples and Heavenly Father...and how we should be nice and happy because that's how Heavenly Father wants us to be, etc. She loves it! We usually end up looking at pictures of the temples on the internet forever, but she has a lot of fun! This week I have had the flu so we postponed FHE until Tuesday night. But boy did we make it worth the wait for her. We loaded the family up and drove to Logan to visit the temple. Kassi thought it was really neat. I'm not going to lie, once she saw the fountain in the front she kinda didn't care as much about the temple...but we had a really fun time as a family and here are a couple of pictures from our trip! (sorry the lighting was a little off and we didn't adjust it...)

It starts....

Well, here it goes. I have no idea what I'm doing exactly...but I have plenty of friends that will help me make this cute...right?
Ok, so here's our story: Ricky and I were married Oct.9, 04 in the Logan Temple. (Today is our 4 year anniversary!) Kassi was born March 14, 06 and is such a joy! She is currently in a dance/gymnastics class which she enjoys, and loves her nursery class too! Tyler just turned 1 on September 27 and is about to start walking. I think it's just too slow for him cause he sure tries his hardest to keep up with his big sister. They are such a joy and we sure love them a lot!
We live in Tremonton, UT. Ricky works in the construction business with his dad and brothers and I am a stay at home mom. In Jan. we are both headed to Utah State University to start working on our degrees. Ricky is looking at going into something with computers and I am going into nursing.
We love our life and friends and are blessed daily!
