President Gordon B. Hinckley

He was a great leader of my church and he was loved by all. I will miss him and his wit and knowledge.

Has ANYONE seen my CAMERa?????

I put it up so little girls would not break it and you guessed it NOW I don't remember where I "hid" it.

WOW

It is amazing the imagination that the smallest M has. Today she has been pretending with a piece of paper this piece of paper is her baby and I have one and I am the mommy. Oh the adventures we have together. We go camping, go to grandmas, go to school and play hide and seek.

Both of the kids are so smart it is scary. We have a lot of adventures in our family. We have tons of fun putting puzzles together and playing the WII.

Grandpa and Grandma are coming for a few weeks and we are excited. Watch out Granpa you are being recruited to help do a science project.

Have been checking into going to school and have received some good news (well we can get financing and will be in student loan debt again) but finances will make it so we can both go to school. We will get daddy through first though. I am still waiting to here which hospital that I will go part time at. Then I won't get called off as much and we can finally start proceedings for the littlest M. I know I know I have said this before but it will eventually happen.

Anyone care to give advice on who to vote for go ahead and leave it in the comments. LOL I am not wanting to start a fight over politics just wondering. For those who know me you know who I lean towards any way. LOL

Well I DID IT

I applied for the part time positions opened so we will see what happens. Oh I hope I am making the right decision. To do this means a decrese in pay a bit but it means i get the hours I need. I wish I could have stayed per diem and maybe I should. It is so hard to know what to do.

The little guy I have LOVED and wanted to bring home (but it was not to be) has a FAMILY YEAH. I can't say that I am not a tinsy bit jealous and sad but so happy he has a family to come home to.

Update

Well I think I am going to try and go back to school at one of the online universities to get my masters degree. I would like to move up into administration EVENTUALLY not now. I am looking into the Masters of Nursing/MBA/Healthcare Management Degree programs.

I am also starting to scrapbook again, I have lots of pictures to catch up on. I want to start sewing tee shirt dresses, making life books, and selling them on Ladybug Limbo site with my friend Sam, so go take a look at her Tabbies. I want to start saving money and fund raising for a second and final adoption from China in the next few years. The wait is long but we are in it for the long haul and will eventually bring home a boy to complete our family (now if a suprise girl comes that is alright also). But FEW YEARS is the key word.

Update

Trying to decide which hospital to try and get on part time instead of per diem at.
Tried applying tonight and the site would not let me apply. So will try YET AGAIN tomorrow.

McKenna is half way through school and is doing well. We had parent/teacher conference and she is doing well. This weekend we will work on her science project.

Marielle is POTTY TRAINED yeah. No more diapers. LOL. Marielle is starting daycare/preschool, which mommy really doesnt' like but with the babysitter quitting unexpectedly what can you do. We found a highly recommended one with a spot so hopefully all goes well.

GRANDPA AND GRANDMA Rowley are coming down to help for a few weeks and everyone is excited. Watch out Grandpa McKenna wants your help in finishing the science project, but be sure to bring a raincoat LOL.

I am not very good at the computer and so birthday pictures are still coming. I cannot figure out to get them to transfer from the camera to the computer and when I put the cd into find out how to do it, well the instructions are in Japanese. So again you can hurry up and wait.

Marielle is THREE

Well our youngest, so far, M is three. She had a great day. Her cake was ELMO and she loved her gifts. She loved the princess shoes from Grandma Anderson. Her princess outfit and dishes from Grandpa and Grandma Anderson. We had alot of fun playing with them and she wears her shoes everywhere.

Pictures WILL be coming soon. I know I know I say that all the time but I really am trying to upload them BUT my mac and blogger just aren't working.

I tried Picassa but no go so searching for a different way.

Natalie

Then pictures and more news on the way soon.

Haircut Story

Well since I don't know any other way to upload pictures except through blogger and it is freezing. (Tried Picassa but no go either) I guess it is this blasted MAC, love it but times like this I should have maybe gotten the PC. LOL

Well anyway last week us girls we going shopping or something like that and I told the girls to brush their hair and come down the stairs. Miss three year old wanted to do it herself so I said ok. Well I waited and down the stairs they came, I had left me cell phone so up the stairs I run to get it, at the top there was some hair on one of the steps, I turn around and NOPE did not see any hair missing so I figured Marielle has cut her sisters American GIrl Dolls hair. Not wanting to start a fight I though lets just go and I will deal with big sister getting mad later.

Off we go and back we come to the house and Marielle started talking how she did combed her hair and CUT her hair. CUT, CUT, sure enough on the side there is a big chunk gone. How did I miss it before, well she used serger type scissors and it only cut part of the hair. If you did not look close you would miss it BUT right above her ear the top laywer is gone.

Mommy did not want to cut her hair THAT short, what McKenna calls a boy haircut and so we took her in. The hair stylist fixed it, cut bangs and layered the sides a bit and trimmed it up, she looks pretty cute. Gone is the plan to actually grow her hair out, we will have to cut it short and trim it up until it all grows in.

So the pictures were supposed to be my attempt to show what was cut, the amount cut and the new hair cut.

For now I guess you just get the story.

NO GO

Blogger still stopping and rejecting pictures but I don't know why so I will search for and try picassa.

If at first blogger won't post your pictures try try again LOL

Well I have tried and tried to post pictures and will keep trying but blogger IS NOT cooperating. I just cannot get blogger to let me upload the pictures, so I will try later and after work the next few days.

Pictures of Marielle

Well I am trying to see if I did the upload to the computer right. The first pictures are of Marielles hair. The first one is my trying to show where she cut, then there is the one of the hair and then the last if pictures of her haircut. She wan't being very cooperative but we tried.

The moment you have all been waiting for PICTURES

will be posted tomorrow sunday in the afternoon.

Hope you all enjoy also you can see Marielles hair cut
