Halloween Party

We went to Salt Lake yesterday for a Halloween party with my family. It was a lot of fun. The party was at Kari's house. Kari has really long hair and she wanted to get it permed. At a salon it would cost her $100.00 to get a perm, but at home it only cost about $16.00. That's a big difference. My mom and I went to Kari's house early so that we could perm her hair. We gave my mom a perm also. My sister, Missy wanted her hair to be trimmed. My niece, Elizabeth, wanted her hair to be cut to her shoulders. And Alissa wanted her hair cut also. So Kari was very busy getting everybodies hair done. I almost got mine cut, but I decided not to. I will eventually. It is part of my routine that I have been doing for the last 10 years. I grow my hair long, then I decide that I want it short. After I get it cut, I regret it and I tell everybody around me "Please don't let me do this again! I don't like my hair short!". I let my hair grow for about 2 years, then I start to think "Maybe I should cut my hair. I need to do something different with it. It will be nice to have something different. Maybe I'll get it cut short again." Then I start asking people if they think I should cut my hair and everybody agrees that my hair looks good when it is short. All the people that I told to never let me cut my hair again, agree that I should cut it. So I cut it and the cycle starts again. I regret it, I grow it out, then I cut it and regret it again.

My mom is letting me borrow her old digital camera until we can afford to buy a new one. It is so nice to have a camera to use again. This is a cute picture of Alissa at the party. My little princess, Brinley. Brinley is going to be a fairy princess for Halloween, but I did not get her costume sewn in time for the party, so she borrowed a dress. She looks very pretty.

My niece, Kiara, is a pretty kitty cat. I love Kiara. She is such a cute girl.

My sister, Missy, went to the store and bought fairy wings and wigs for me and her to wear. Here is a picture of my in my pink wig. Missy had a purple wig and purple wings. I didn't post her picture because I don't want her to be mad at me.

Brinley and Parker. Parker's costume was the only one that I was able to get sewn in time for the party.

Brinley wasn't feeling very well. She wanted to take her pretty dress off. I asked her to let me take her picture first. That is why she does not look happy. She took a nap after I changed her out of the dress. A little bit after she woke up, she threw up all over Kari's couch. I felt so bad. Brinley felt a lot better after that. She hasn't thrown up since or even acted sick. I think she must of just eaten something that her little tummy did not agree with. Parker's been sick all week so I was worried that she was going to have what he did.

Alissa and her friend. Aunt Kari bought Alissa a sleeping beauty costume, since her witch costume wasn't finished.

I hope My sister, Missy, won't mind this picture with her in it. Parker is so handsome

A Birthday Miracle!

My digital camera has been broken. I try everyday, hoping that it will work and it never does. I was really sad about not having a digital camera on Brinley's Birthday. I asked 3 people that I knew if I could borrow their camera. Two of them also had broken cameras and one couldn't get it because it was at her exboyfriend's house and she did not have a key. I didn't feel comfortable enough to ask other people. I have a camcorder that I can take pictures with, but the pictures are not very good. I was sad that the camcorder was what I had to use. The morning of Brinley's Birthday, I decided to try my digital camera one more time, just to be sure that it didn't work. It turned on!!! I was so excited!! That was the Birthday miracle I had been hoping for! I had prayed a few times during the week asking Heavenly Father to help me figure out a way to be able to get pictures of Brinley's Birthday. The camera didn't last all day, but I was able to get quite a few pictures of Brinley on her birthday. The rest of her birthday pictures had to be taken with the camcorder, but they turned out all right.

Parker looks so nice in his party hat!Here's the birthday girl! She is three years old.Brinley got this doodle pro for her birthday. Alissa drew a snail. We all had a lot of fun playing with Brinley's new toys.Roger got Brinley's new doll to work. The doll crawls and says "Momma, Momma". Then the doll falls and cries. Then it starts to giggle as it gets back up and starts to crawl again and say "Momma, Momma"

Brinley's Birthday Cake. She really liked her cake.

She is so cute. I love how happy she is in this picture. I took this while we were singing to her.

Brinley got some bubbles for her birthday. They are a different kind of bubbles. you can catch them. They don't pop very easily. The kids loved them! The girl standing behind Brinley is Aytymn. I babysit her on the days that I don't have to work. Aytymn kept telling me, "Jenny these are awesome! You have to buy these for me on my birthday. Please will you buy me some on my birthday?" We tried to play with the bubbles outside so they wouldn't make a mess in the living room, but the wind kept blowing the bubbles to far away from us. So we are in the bathroom playing with the bubbles. We played with the bubbles for almost an hour! The kids loved them so much.
It's my Parker! He likes to get his picture taken. I think he is so handsome.

Missy's Wedding

Sorry that it has been so long since I posted anything. I was waiting to get pictures from the wedding. My digital camera broke the day before the wedding. I'm really sad. I don't like not having a camera. I hope that it won't be too long until we can buy one. Missy had me use her camera to take pictures of the wedding. Mike and Missy came back from their honeymoon yesterday and they stopped by my house on their way home. They let me download the pictures off of their camera before they left. I posted pictures of the wedding cake on my cake blog. Here is a link http://jenny-mycakes.blogspot.com/.

Alissa got to be a flower girl. She loved every minute of it! She felt so pretty and she was so excited that her dress had flowers on it. Aunt Kari did Alissa's hair really pretty.Parker and Alissa sitting on the stage with their cousins Damen and Kiara. They were waiting as patiently as they could for everything to get started. They all look so nice.
Aunt Kari is getting Brinley's hair ready for the wedding. Brinley didn't like it very much so she only got a few ringlets in. Brinley still looked very cute. Kari was very busy styling everyone's hair.

Shannon was the hairstylest for the bride.
My niece, Kaylie, is getting her hair styled by Kari also. Kaylie has really cute natural curls, so no curling iron was needed. Kaylie is also a flower girl.

My niece, Kendra, looks so cute in her dress. She kept posing for me. Kendra is my buddy. She gave me lots of hugs while we were at the wedding. She lives in St. George, so we don't see eachother often, but she still remembers me from the times I babysat her.
Brinley is so cute. Her cousins Elizabeth and Hannah helped keep an eye on her while we were getting everything ready. Brinley kept them really busy.

Alissa loved playing with her basket of peddles.


This is the cute way that Mike propossed to Missy. He runs marathons. Before he reached the end of the ogden marathon, he put this shirt on. Missy was very surprised.

The bride and groom with my family. Kelly didn't make it to the wedding and Linda wasn't there. Linda was in the hospital due to complications with a pregnancy. Missy and Mike went to visit Linda in the hospital before the reception started. Linda is the wedding planner in the family, so things get really difficult when she's not around to help.

If you don't like this Linda, let me know and I will remove it.The flower girls had a lot of fun throwing the peddles, picking them up, and throwing them again. Parker joined in for a little while.

The bride. She looks so beautiful.
