Autumn's first hair cut

Oh wow! So she had been begging me like crazy to get it cut, and as much as I didn't want to have to brush through all those tangly curls anymore, I didn't want to not have those tangly curls anymore. Well, friday we went over to great clips after her dance class and they got her right in. I was going to have a panic attack watching her up there getting it chopped off. I told the lady where to cut it, even though poor Autumn wanted me to get it cut much shorter, I just couldn't. Before we went to the store Autumn asked me if she had to hold still like a statue, and I told her yes, but she wondered if she was still allowed to breathe! Ha ha! I told her yes to please still keep breathing! She cracks me up.

So here we are outside great clips before:

So I wasn't really happy with how many layers the lady put in Autumn's hair, so the next day I decided to chop a little more off. You can't tell too much of a difference, but I just wanted it to be more straight across in the back. SO, I guess the lesson is, don't take your daughter to great clips and spend money when you are just going to do it yourself the next day. Oh well, she had fun and she's happier now cause it's shorter.



The end!

Temple update

So here are a few pictures of what's been going on lately with the temple. Not a whole lot. Just a fence. But it's the coolest temple fence that has ever been put up just a few blocks from MY house! :) P.S. Yes, I realize I am not a professional photographer, so, sorry but this will have to do!

These were taken on Dec 23, 2011. I knew we were going to get our view blocked out soon so I hurried and snapped a few shots before the put the stuff up in between the chain link fence. Which by the way, looks like a Christmas tree garland. It's crazy, you can't really tell from the pictures below, but I've seen it, so take my word! You can tell they are setting up camp though, and bringing in some machinery. It's all very fun to watch.






These pictures were taken Jan. 6 2012, exactly two weeks later. See, the view is all gone. Bye, bye. I know they won't be able to hide it forever though! Plus I understand they are just trying to keep people out and debris from flying in from all over. After all, it is the temple site! So exciting! I'll post more pictures as the the work progresses!
