A new pet.

Today Michael and I were in the kitchen and we kept hearing a loud thump on the sliding glass door and the family room window, we couldn't figure out what it could be, we looked outside and saw that it was a pretty parakeet. I was worried about it and Michael told me that if he caught it we would have a new pet, because more than likely we wouldn't be able to find the parakeets owner. All of the kids were super excited to have a bird and Michael was telling them about his pretty bird ( that is what the kids have named it is pretty bird). Although, when Braxton came home from piano lessons he was concerned that we needed to go out and make fliers for "lost bird". If we see fliers about someones lost bird of course we will return it, but more than likely we may have a new pet. It seems like it is a pretty young bird. If it were a dog or cat we would do fliers or call the humane society and return it. I'm sure even if we end up returning it the kids would really like to go and buy one of our own. We are having a good time anyways taking care of it and the kids think it is really neat.

Madison cut Makenna's hair :(

2 Sundays ago after church, Michael was at the church for a meeting, I was resting upstairs because of a headache, the boys were doing their own thing. Madison and Makenna came upstairs to let me know that Madison had cut Makenna's hair and they needed help cleaning up all the hair :( at first I wasn't sure what she was talking about until I got a good look at what was left of Makennas bangs and the big chunk cut out of the back of her hair clear to the scalp. I still haven't really taken a close up picture of the new haircut that Madison gave Makenna, maybe I should and then I might be able to use it as blackmail when the girls get older :). Needless to say I wasn't very happy, ever since we took away Makenna's pacifier she twists and pulls out her hair, so her hair was already very thin. I tried to fix it but we will just have to wait for it to grow back, and then maybe we can look back on this with fond memories and laugh. Later in the week me and the girls went to a Primary Presidency meeting and we all shared stories about kids cutting their own or others hair. After Madison had heard all of the stories she said to me " Now are you more happy about me cutting Makenna's hair?" Hopefully Madison won't try to cut anymore hair.



Makenna loves to put on her dress up shoes and a dress and dance and sing around the house. Very cute.
