Not Bad!

It was the middle of the day and it was almost nothing to do at the moment and I took a look at Ella's hair and how much I really want for her to grow it long... but at her stage its impossible to keep it nice and clean... She would get those teeny tiny obnoxious knots in her hair and she absolutely does not want to have her hair styled. So I felt the need to have her hair cut NOW... I asked Ella if she would like to have her hair cut and she would reply back, "Ya! My hair is getting TOO long and its ALMOST touch my bum!" I bravely pulled out the special scissors for hair and figure out what to do and how to start. I told Ella that she has to sit VERY still in order for me NOT to mess up. She did GREAT!!! I am pretty happy that I did well for the first time and she looks really cute and it looks so much better! Here are the pictures BEFORE and AFTER.

Deers!

We were heading home after eating dinner at my folk's house last night and we saw 2 deers eating grass along the busy Burton Lane! Its always fun to see something unusual happening near our parents house.

Excited or Anxiety?

AHHH! I can't tell if I am experimenting EXCITEMENT or ANXIETY??!! Dave and I are leaving to go on a 12 day cruise to Hawaii in less than a week!!! WITHOUT the KIDS... This is going to be the first time to be gone that long without the kids yet this is the first time in a long time to be alone with my own husband!!

Ella sick??

Every morning Ella would wake up all LIVELY and HAPPY but this morning I noticed she was not acting her usual self... I asked her if she was alright... she says she had gotten up during the night to go throw up... I don't know if it was true or not because we didn't hear her getting up or something. I asked her why didn't you come and get us and she says that she wanted us to sleep in and didn't want to wake us. Now I felt guilty. Well this is her climbing back in bed all by herself after breakfast without telling us. Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon.

Play Doh!

The other day, Ella and I played with Play Doh... Oh how I LOVE Play Doh!! I LOVE the smell of freshly new can of Play Doh... It just brings back memories of me playing with it when I was a child. I love it!

Wild Child?

Is my son going to be a wild child? Seems like lately hes getting too mischievous and doing things dangerous without me looking. Here's what hes been doing and look at all the previous post and tell me... Is my son a wild little stinker?? I miss my little sweet poo poo!

Crazy day

What a day... This morning Ella wanted to play with me so I did... Guess what she wanted to do? You'll never guess. Take a look at the picture and see what she did.

That's right!! She wanted to put plastic Easter eggs in my hair! She would open them up and grab a strand of my hair and close them so the eggs can be hanging onto my hair... maybe this will be the next new hair do trend. Silly girl.

Later that morning we went to Ella's dance class and she did amazingly well and was very attentive to her teachers! After that we went to Walmart to get some few things and Coleman is being little mischievous, he would wiggle his way out of the shopping cart seat belt and tries to stand up without me looking. I had to tightened the straps up several times to keep him secured in. Then we came home to make dinner... the Missionaries came over to join with us... it was fun and short. They have an appointment to go to right after so we got to know them for a little bit. While I was cleaning up dinner I accidentally slid the plastic/ceramic type bowl too hard on the counter and fell. It SHATTERED to MILLIONS of pieces!! It went EVERYWHERE!!

NICE!!! While I was sweeping up my mess and Coleman was being mischievous again... He wiggled his way out of his high chair standing up smiling at me. What a stinker.

Wishing Katie....

Happy Birthday!!!

We hope that your day will be WONDERFUL!!!

We all love ya!!

(just imagine there is Cake and balloons decorated in this post... for some reason I can't figure out how to add pictures from the Clip art... hmm... anyways have a GREAT one!!)

Rewind...

OK now that my internet is up and running again and I would rewind back where I had left off after the internet crashed... March 19th... Elder Michael Douglas Terry left this very day to serve a mission to Houston, Texas... he is the last Terry boy out of 4 boys to be out serving for the Lord. Elder Thomas Brice Terry is now currently serving in San Fernando (sp?) California and will be coming home in the Fall. As we can tell that Mike was very anxious to get to work!! We LOVE you all Mike and Thomas!!

March 21st... Grandma Terry gave her an early Easter surprise.... A Flower Greenhouse!! Ella has been wanting to grow something and she always has been fastinated how they grow and what comes at the end... so we planted some in the mini flower pots till they get bigger and will be transfering to a bigger pot. The flowers are Zinnas and Sunflowers. Everyday she would go out in the Solarium and see the progress... she LOVES it!

March 22nd... South Ogden City has a really fun event going for all the kids... EASTER EGG HUNT!!! It was held at the Friendship Park and we got there around 8:30 in the morning and once the buzzer goes off at 9 you gather as many eggs as you can. There are thousands and thousands of colorful eggs scattered around... in fact one of our neighbors did a service project by helping stuffed candies in the eggs... they said they did over 10 thousand eggs... thats a lotta freakin eggs!! I explained to Ella what to do as she hears the buzzer goes off and once it went off Ella ended up looking for all the "Pink" or "Purple" colored eggs... she didnt get much but she had a blast. Coleman had fun throwing the Eggs in the bucket (the pink bucket was suppose to be Ella's but I thought she might will fill it up full so she used a grocery bag instead. I was wrong.) The kids had a great time!

March 23rd.... HAPPY EASTER!!!! The Easter Bunny brought over a wagon for Ella and Coleman to share!! They both LOVE it and I LOVE it too!! Its got a canopy over it to keep the sun out of them and its got a fold up seat with seatbelts and also it even got a cupholder inside to put their drinks in!! I can't wait for the weather to warm up a little to take them out for a stroll!!

March 31st... Well... we woke up with a surprise outside!! What the heck!? Snow?! Grr... at least it melted away quickly at the end of the day... SPRING MUST GET HERE!!!

April 1st... Okay I knew this day was coming and I prepared myself for this day.... I got dressed for the day and something went really wrong... I just couldnt figure out why the heck Im so itchy in my bra area... It felt like something was there and is poking me... so I took my bra off and came to my surprise that there is stuff in there. I told myself "What??? How?? Did my bra exploded or ripped or something?" (I wear padded bra) Then I took a look in the other cup... sure enough... both of them was filled with STUFF!! I smiled an angry "I cant believe he did this" smile... I dialed up Dave's number and asked him if he had put something in my bra, then I hear him bust up LAUGHING!!! He said that he had put ITCHING POWDER in my bra!!!! ooooh revenge is coming to your way mister!!!

April 5th... GENERAL CONFERENCE Weekend... I wish I was able to hear the radio to listen to the conference... I watched a little bit online but it wasnt keeping up in pace so instead Ive decided to hack up my backyard by tearing out old dead trees and the hideous bushes... This is what I have done so far and its not even close being done...Look in one of the snow post you can see the difference of how much I have taken out. Heres the picture of Coleman climbing underneath the table shelf thingy... he was inspired by Addi to try it. Mister Daredevil.

HURRAY for COMCAST!!!

We are now CONNECTED!!!! ahh so nice to get back on again... I was going crazy not knowing what is going on with the world!!! We have no television and you know me... I can't hear what people are saying on the radio, and we dont have subscription for newspaper either.... ahhhh! Ive got a lot to catch up on! I have tons of things to post on this blog but right now I am flithly dirty. I have been wrestling and tackeling and chopping down my hideous trees in my back yard. In fact, my backyard is hideous. Good grief... I got one obnoxious tree down... the branches is like a mile long and likes to twist around to another trees and there are thorns all around it that are as long as my finger... thank goodness I havent been stabbed but I did get few stuck in my shoes. I am hoping this is the only tree that has thorns all over it. I'll have to post some pictures tomrw... it got dark before I got the chance to snap some pictures. I need to go soak in the bath... I can feel my muscles aching... (not that I am complaining, just proud that I actually worked hard :o) )
