Snow Day!

We only live about an hour 1/2 from Mt. Lemmon, but
we don't go to see the snow very often, so it is a huge treat
for the kids when we go! We had to take off our flip flops
and the kids put ski bibs over their shorts- it was fun to
be cold for a little while!

The snow was melting fast, and we all kept sinking as we

walked.

Jake is going down the hill backwards.

A New Do!

Hailey has been wanting to cut her long, curly
locks for over a year now, but I always convince
her to just get a trim. This time, I caved, and
she loves her new do!


You can't see very well here how long her
hair was because the ends were so blond
and curly, but it was past the top of the chair.


She was so patient for the entire hair cut and style...


The new look --Smooth and sleek!

Then it was out for her birthday dinner to

Swensons with Mommy and Daddy!

Jake's Orchestra with Rocker Violinist Mark Wood

Jake's orchestra got to practice with Mark Wood for a few
days and ended with a concert together. The music sounded
great! It was more like a rock concert than the middle school
orchestra concerts we are used to! (Although the Grandma's
and Grandpa's had to plug their ears after a while!)

Mark Wood was really great with the kids and got them all
excited about performing and let them take turns on his
electric violins. Aubrey and Hailey were a little freaked out
to see a man in such tight pants- Aubrey said, "I think his
skinny jeans are a little too skinny!" I had to agree- any man
who wears jeans tighter than mine, and who spends more
time on his hair than I do,....well, I guess that's why he's
the Rock Star!
