lets do some hair

By Desiree -
doing my girls hair is such a chore, and a crappy one at that. whenever i would put in the time, it was a total waste of time. b/c in a few short hours, what i managed to do with their hair had fallen out or simply looked redic (as quoted by kim-from kath and kim) to begin with.

in eagle mountain there were plenty of moms who magically made their little girls hair style look flawless. and now here in south jordan i see it too. i think it is actually a prerequisite for moms in utah....i'll look into that.

i didn't know how it was done, i guess i can barley do my own hair (so this might be where the problem began). my girls would not even sit still for pig tails, they hated having their hair combed, and frankly i hated doing it. usually by 11 am, we would venture down that road.

anyhow, i think i finally asked my friend Natalie how she did her daughters hair (or maybe she told me, b/c she felt so sorry at my pathetic attempts) she referenced me to the awesome blog about doing hair. obviously doing hair comes naturally to some, but not to me. so this blog with step by step instructions and pictures, was right up my ally.

seeing and reading how to do hair took care of one side of the problem, the other side was my time and energy. i initially thought, i don't want to spend 30 minutes doing there hair, nor do i want to fight for 30 minutes with each of them while trying to brush out the tangles.
however roxy was excited for a pretty hair style, i even let her view the blog and pick one out. riley was persuaded with the usually- candy.

to sum this up, here are some pictures of the hairdos i have done the past few days. i do think it is fun to try and do this stuff. i know they are far from perfect, but what the heck have a look.
and do visit the hair blog. it is a lot of fun and educational for some.

You're so good to learn how to do this. They look so cute. I don't think I could ever do it.

Love the new blog header too, with the sharpie and ipod. :)

I really like the first, third and fourth styles. You need to show me how to do those on Paige at FHE later this month. And did you find out the trick to making it stay put even if they rub their heads all over the place?

heaven on earth?

if there was one place an avid water sports nut would pick as "heavenly" it would have to be lake powell. we were lucky enough to go this past september, and we had a ball. the great thing about powell is the calm water factor; if the water is choppy cruise around for 10 minutes or so and you'll find the right stuff. wake up at 7 or 8am and there will be calm water, go out at dusk and it is still there waiting for you. calm water. glass. the good stuff. going on this trip convinced me that we NEED a boat. my kids love the water, they are brave, and always waiting for their turn. i am not brave, i hate the water, but somewhere along the lines i learned to try to ignore the fear, and just get wet. maui and roxy wakeboarding... riley wanted a turn soo badly, but it just didn't happen here is me wakeboarding, it is fun, and when you only get to go every other summer, it is hard on your body. here we see randy fishing (these are the fish that i am sooo afraid of - what if ...

provo river 1/2 marathon

the first week we moved back to EM i ran into my old running buddy and we scheduled to start running together again. we did this through all of may, usually running 3-4 miles a night. around the first of june we did a practice run for our neighborhood 5K, the gals we went with were fast.... and so we heard tales of a half marathon from them. needless to say, i thought "i could do that." valerie and i immediately started training for the provo river 1/2 marathon. 10 weeks later, the furthest we had ran was 11 miles, and we were averaging 20-25 miles a week in training. we had a pretty good pace, not fast by any means, but not slow. we were both feeling very confident in the 13.1 miles that awaited us. the race was nearly fun, it started out with us meeting at the riverbottoms in provo at 5AM. it was dark and cold, and crazy crowded. finally we were able to load a bus, and we were bussed up to vivian park, and then all the way up south fork (according to maui) where w...

mi casa es su casa

for those of you who opted to not take high school spanish, you have no idea (well you probably do know..)what this post is about. i need to tell dona maria (my high school spanish teacher) thanks, for teaching me such phrases as: mi casa es su casa, me llamo david vargas. and that is all that i remember, since it was nothing short of a miracle that i passed 2 years of spanish, whithout being able to speak more than 2 sentences.... we finally "closed" on our house!!! it now feels appropriate to tell everyone about it. as brian and i were both pretty certain it was not going to work out, for various reasons. well it did. and i could not be more elated. the mauis are moving back to the Ranches, hopefully in the next 2 weeks. our 3 kids who all share a room, here at my moms, will now all have their own room! we will be excited for friends and family to come and see us at our new house, and of course please feel right at home.... and since our company might not be enough incenti...
