Tag! You're it!!!

Ok Leah since you tagged me with all CAPS I thought I would respond. But I must first say that I haven't posted because of lack of things to post about....It's more like I've been too busy. :) That and the fact that I've been working on putting together another family blog. When it's done I'll post it but until then I'll keep you entertained by answering this cute little thing!!

Sooooo The rules are as follows: List 3 Joys, 3 Fears, 3 Goals, 3 Current Obsessions, and 3 Random Surprising Facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. So here is what I came up with...

3 Joys
*Being married to my best friend!
*Knowing that my family is eternal and I can be with my husband and kids forever.
*A Clean House

3 Fears
*Getting into a car accident that takes my life. I have a fear that this is the way I'll go.
*Dying while my children are young and still at home.
*That my kids will grow up to hate me.

3 Goals
*Spend more time on my personal spiritual growth.
*Finish writing a book that I've been attempting to write all year.
*Journal writing. I want to not just have a family blog that does our family items but a private blog that allows me to put memories of my childhood, of dating and the early years of my marriage. Sort of an online "catch up" journal.

3 Current Obsessions
*Twilight Series
*Trying to lose weight
*Reading blogs

3 Surprising Facts About Me
*I never look at myself in the mirror. I can do my hair and put my makeup on without "looking" at myself. I simply look at the one spot that needs attention but never look at the whole picture.
*I feel lonely most of the time.
*Very rarely does a day go by that I don't cry.

Ok...so that killed me to do, but I did it. So who do I tag? I think that since Leah did over her five I only need to tag one person. I tag Christian! Have fund Chris :)

Dreaming of Long Hair

I've always wanted to have my own little girl so I could do her hair. I dreamed of her having long, thick, curly hair that I could do so many fun things with. I got my sweet "pretty princess" and I feel so blessed to have her. Her hair isn't thick but that is way ok. Her hair isn't curly but that is what curlers are for, right! She was finally getting long hair and even though it was stringy, at least I could find things to do with it. Then she cut it, pretty much the whole side of her head had no hair. We went to the gal down the street and she tried to fix it. It turned out to be pretty cute and as long as I fixed it, you couldn't see the chopped mess too badly. The day after she got her hair fixed she cut it again. This time it wasn't too bad and I could cover it up with a "comb over". In the next couple of weeks she cut her hair two more times.

O MY GOODNESS, what is up with her and scissors?

We went around the whole house and made sure that there was no more scissors ANYWHERE. Several months has past and her hair grows slow but it was starting to look really good and I could do more with her hair again, besides the comb over.

This past Monday I had a doctors appointment and left Kaylee and William at home with Dad. Kimball was out working in the backyard and Kaylee and William went in and out of the house a couple of times while playing. Suddenly William came running out to Kimball to explain that Kaylee had cut her hair again.

How could this happen? There are no more scissors that she could use to cut her hair. WRONG! She found "children" scissors and cut her bangs off and chopped a chunk from the back of her hair. I cried and cried some more and well, I'm still crying about it. Will she ever grow out of this stage? Why does she keep doing this? She's a girly girl. Loves to play with my makeup (a whole other story), likes to have her hair done, wants lip gloss on all the time, basically if it's girly, she likes it. So why?

I've had some moms tell me that it happens and its ok, others say how their little girls would NEVER do something like that. What am I doing wrong? Why does she keep doing this? Anyone have tips on how I can get her hair to grow faster? Thicker? To get her to stop cutting her hair?

One thing is for sure though, even with no bangs, chopped up, chunked up, short, stringy, thin hair, she's the cutest thing and I love her to pieces.

David is in danger!!!

Did that get your attention? I sure hope it did. I was chatting with David last night and he said that he needed to get some pepper spray. I asked him why and that is when he went on to explain that he was chased by some "gangters". He also said that his friend Derek had a knife pulled on him. Needless to say, I now understand why he needs to get some pepper spray.

I think it would be great if we could all add David to our prayers and ask that the Lord keeps him safe. I know we will.

Where will I find the time?

I opened my mouth and asked if anyone in the family had a blog, no one at that time did but I guess the question itself got a few family members interested in the idea and now everyone has a family one but me. :)

I'm not sure where I'm going to find the time to blog with all that I currently do but I'm going to make it a goal of mine. I'm horrible at journal writing so I hope I can be better at blogging. I also hope that blogging will get me to take more pictures, We will see!!!
