Lilia's Cute Haircut

Lilia's hair is a constant battle. She's a hair twirler and creates knots in it when she's tired. She doesn't like keeping bows in it, if she allows bows in it as soon as we're on our way home she rips them out with a handful of hair. This a before picture with her typical crazy flighty hair.

This is another before picture. If her hair would only stay this curly I would never cut it. When wet or with some product it curls beautifully but she rolls around and gets it too static-full to keep it curly.
I was cutting my sister and her kids' hair and Lilia jumped up in the chair and said it was her turn...so I took advantage of the opportunity.


Please forgive my appearance and that of the kitchen behind me. Notice how long it combs out to in the back.
Here is her profile afterward. She has a cute bob now!And here is our adorable pixie who requires no bows! She's always been beautiful and now her hair is not a concern for her or me.

He's my forever Valentine!

"So I hear you're pretty good at cuddling?"
That's how it all began.
19 months later we were married.
7 years and 2 cute kiddos later find us here,
loving life and loving each other!


I couldn't wait to kiss him then,

and not much has changed since!

We love and adore our Lily Sue Bug!

We love and adore our Mr. Max!

WE TRULY ARE A HAPPY FAMILY!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Christmas in a flash

My camera had over 500 photos from Christmas vacation. So I decided to show 1% of that. Here it is....
We went to Enoch, Utah and spent lots of time with family. We all got sick but then we all got better and had fun! Lily became a puzzle master!
We had lots of family time and loved it! David's big gift was a Sony Walkman. My big gifts from him were a watch and a hand-held sewing machine.
Max loved his 1st Christmas! He only ripped paper on one gift but he drooled on the presents a lot! He pushed things all over the house to practice walking and he had 2 ear infections right in a row, poor baby. He and I spent an evening in the ER-his ears, I had strep.
Santa was good to the kids. Lily's big gifts were Sleeping Beauty, a duck game, and a princess cd player. Max got lots of fun toys but mostly just wanted to eat the wrapping paper and boxes.
NJ got pummeled with snow while we were gone. this was taken a few days before we left for Utah. Lily wanted to help. We had warm days in the 50s and played outside without coats while out there and then we had days of 2 degree weather with lots of snow and sledding.

It was a wonderful holiday visiting with lots of family! We met the two newest Brough babies and spent a few days up in Salt Lake visiting my family. And to end it all our flight home was canceled due to weather and we couldn't leave for another 3 days. thankfully we found out before we left for the airport and had lovely family to stay with. If we saw you on our travels it was wonderful! If we missed you, we're sorry, we still love you!
