We bleed blue....

Usu homecoming was this weekend and that meant parade time!!!

We all got on our aggie gear and headed to our favorite spot to set up for the parade. Unfortunately richard had a meeting at work and wasn't able to join us but me and the kids had a great time anyway! These kids were so cute decked out in their gear that we had students coming and asking to take our picture for the school! We felt pretty special!

All was going good until this horse of dog plopped down right next to jack! The guy informed me that it was just a puppy and they didn't need to be afraid. Little does he know these kids are totally afraid of dogs and this thing didn't look like a puppy. Luckily he found a new spot to sit shortly after.

We caught all kinds of great loot from squeaky cheese, fortune cookies Popsicles and of course more candy then we know what to do with!

The best part of the parade for them though was this zombie!!! I thought they would jump right out their chairs when he walked over to them, but they showed that zombie who is boss! If the zombie apocalypse happens we will be set to fight them off! We had the best time! Go aggies!!!!

Rupunzel, Rupunzel let down your hair....

Harper and her hair finally decided to part ways. I've been debating what to do with it. I want her to have long flowing locks but knew it was going to have to be cut and evened out at some point. She really is blessed to have all this long gorgeous hair but time to cut was now. Plus I want her to look super sure for our upcoming vaca!

I took this pic about a month ago so it was probably even longer then this the day we cut it! I honestly can't believe my two year old had hair this long. It started to just become crazy it wouldn't do anything and you can only wear your hair in pigtails every so often. Sometimes you need to change it up a bit.

Lucky for us jacks little friends mom cuts hair and she was more then happy to give Harper a new do. I was totally worried about how she would act but I shouldn't have been. She was so excited she climbed right up there like a little pro. You would have thought she had been getting it cut for years! 

So here's my little diva pants and her brand new do! She cut off at least 3-4 inches and its just so nice now! Now I think it will start to grow out nicer and not so crazy! She looks more like a little girl now instead of my baby. She is so excited about it she tells everyone she sees about how she got a haircut! She really is the sweetest!

A hiking we will go....

So now that Harper is getting a little bigger we can do some adventurous things! Living right next to the mountains means we can take some great hikes! So we have done just that and the kids have loved it! The view from up here isn't that bad either!

It has been the best and Harper has been such a trooper! She is always up in the front of the line leading the whole tribe! The boys love finding little "secret" trails to take and jumping off rocks.  It's been fun getting out in the great outdoors and spending some quality time together!
