Change

How about her hair??? I really like her bangs. I need a change. But I'm too wimpy to totally chop off all my locks. Help.

C'est La Vie said...: HEY! that's totally the pic I found that talked me into getting bangs :)
It would look awesome on you!; February 18, 2010 at 9:38 AM
Lindsay said...: I really love my bangs. It was enough change and they are easy. A couple of things to consider before you chop; Do you have cowlicks on your forhead? (I do, not ideal for bangs) Do you have thin hair? Also maybe have them cut a deep bang, not thin ones - make sense? You'd look gorgeous no matter what!; February 18, 2010 at 2:25 PM
Jackie said...: I cut bangs once when I was pregnant with Claire and I absolutely HATED them. But, that's just me. Felt like I had something stuck on my forehead all the time. Drove me nuts....but everyone is different. :-); February 19, 2010 at 5:55 PM
C'est La Vie said...: So I've been thinking about it Jen, you would look great with bangs. That is my decision.
Also I would like to visit you and the fam soon!! I have never met baby Chase, that is a tragedy. Next weekend? I'll call ya; February 24, 2010 at 12:22 PM

Kimberly Jepson said...: Reese Witherspoon looks freaky in that picture, which is a shame cuz I think she's a cutie.

EHEM. I think you'd look great with bangs!! And like someone else said, they are enough of a change that you feel like your hair is different but it's not a complete shock like chopping it all off might be. Also, I agree with someone else who said to make sure you cut enough bangs. You don't want just a few strands on your forehead, ya know? Do it, girl!!; February 24, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Allyson said...: I think bangs can be scary. If they don't make your face look the way you thought (in other words, you don't like them), they are such a pain! If you can get them to do the right thing, fabulous, but I rarely could. I just have the "grown out bangs look" which I like. You probably would have them looking great every day. Didn't you have bangs for a while? (does this comment leave you scratching your head, wondering what I was actually trying to say? Sorry); March 1, 2010 at 9:33 AM
Sera said...: I think you would look GREAT with that cut. I love the way her bangs look, and you would totally rock it, girl. :); March 3, 2010 at 8:41 PM

Out of the mouths of babes

5/11 Tae: "My dad is bigger than my mom and my mom is mini-er than my dad"
5/11 Tae: "Don't coffee me!!!" she and paige seem to think the word for copy is actually coffee.
05/11 Tae: After going in the front yard after me telling her not to.. " oh mom, I accidentally thought the front was the back"
03/09: Maddie: " Why do we have to pay taxes? Why do they have to have laws...like pay your taxes? Or don't stand on swivel chairs?" Ha ha!!
12/08: Tanner: "mom, don't pick your nose and throw it on the ground or you will slip on it like a banana peel. So you have to put it on a picture, or a high shelf"
Tae 3/09: Today she was looking for little scab on her hand and noticed it was gone. So she said "Mom, my owie went home!"
2/09 Maddie: Kimi is eating a burger, Mad hates red meat. "Mmmm, that looks good" Me: "But you don't even like hamburgers!" Maddie: "But if it were the only food left on earth, I'd pound it."
12/08 Tanner: "Mom, when can we get out our bean stocks?" I realized he was talking about Christmas Stockings. :)
11/08 I'm in the bathroom, alone. But never really alone. Maddie comes to the door and says "mom what was your best moment?" Uh, can we talk about this later?
11/08 Tanner: "Mom, is my bones warm or hot?" later that day..."I wish our house was made of nachos." Ya, me too.
10/08 Me" Well Maddie when I was little I only got a quarter or 50 cents for a tooth" Maddie" Ya, well that was in the OLDEN DAYS mom! The tooth fairy hardly had any money then."
9/08 Tan:" Mom, when you have the new baby, will we sell Taelyn?"
01/08 Maddie: "Guess what Mom, when I lose my front tooth the tooth fairy brings me $20" What?? Who said that? "A girl in my class! I'm so excited to get my very own $20!"
10/07 Madeline: "Mom I remember what it was like to live with Jesus before I was born" Oh really? "Ya, it looked just like it does here, but it was on clouds."
09/07 Tanner: "Mom sometimes your mean to me, but Sister Castleberry (nursery teacher) is always nice to me...like this many times ( he holds up his little 5 fingers right in my face)" How cute is he??
Just the other day Madeline came to me after practicing some intricate dance moves with Jaren and said "Mom, I just wish I could marry Jaren because he dances with me, he does whatever I say, and he's such a gooood guy. Why can't I marry my brother? " I then explained just why we don't marry our siblings. Hopefully she'll have no problem finding a guy just like Jaren in 20 years.
"Shake your bootie, shake your bootie..." This goes along with a mooning of sorts by the 3 yr. old Tanner
“Do you wish you were Dad so you wouldn’t have to change Taelyn’s diaper or do all the work, and you could be at church on time?” -Maddie
"I'm the last number strong" -Jaren

Deep Thoughts...

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward.

I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.

When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.

Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
