Lydia the Lipstick Queen

I think Lydia just likes to be destructive on Sunday. This week it was finding mommy's clinique lipstick. What can ya do?? Can I just say it is difficult to clean lipstick off of bifocals. On the positvie side she didn't actually get David this time.

It had to happen sooner or later

So, today started out nice and went downhill fast. As I was folding clothes and Cecil was in the shower I noticed it was really quiet. Cecil thought he heard the 4-wheeler start. I went running down to the garage and there were my two little people throwing fertilizer on the 4-wheeler. Still not sure if they actually turned it on. So we put the little buggers inside while we clean the mess. Then I walk into the house which leads right into the laundry room and then my salon and there sits my little 18 month old getting a haircut from his 3 year old sister. About a month ago we did a buzz off to support our friends son who is fighting cancer. It is one thing for me to shave David's hair down to 1 inch all over and another for Lydia to put such nice chunks down to skin. I couldn't bring myself to completely buzz his head, but it is just 1/8 inch long and you can still see the chunks. Let's just be grateful that she didn't actually stab him. I now know that Lydia can climb up the shelves and reach the scissors that are on top. Lesson is we will now put them in a lock box. Enjoy the pics. Also, we will be having another little boy to be named Michael Joseph after grandfathers.

On Sunday we decided to do a long road trip to the Spiral Jetty. I don't advise this if you are more than 3 months pregnant due to bumpy road and constant pit stops. However it was a wonderful day. I remember learning about this back in college in a Humanities class. With the low lake levels, it is now accessable after being submerged for the last 2 decades. Also if you want to make the trip, make sure to have a cooler full of goodies, we didn't expect it to be quite so remote. And if you have a dog, try to keep the K-9 from drinking out of the Great Salt Lake. This is definately an all day excursion but totally worth it. Oil exploration has been submitted for this area and has been denied so far, but if it were to be approved the worry is it will probably effect the Spiral.

I know everyone thinks their kids are cute, but hello how much cuter can you get.
