Lily's First Haircut

I didn't want to cut Lily's bangs, but she is not leaving clips in her hair to keep them out of her face and she rubs her eyes constantly because they are in her face. So, I broke down and took her in for a bang cut.

She's been several times before for Jake and Abby's cuts so she knew exactly what to do and climbed in to the chair immediately.

But she was less than thrilled when they squirted her hair with water.

Fun with the cape.

Tada! She loves that she can see and I love that if I put clips in her hair and she pulls them out she can still see, but I'm not a fan of the bangs. She has a face that would be better with no bangs (unlike Abby who needs bangs I think :-). Hopefully we can eventually let them grow out.

Sittin with the big boys

Lily has ditched her highchair already. The twins were almost 2 when we got rid of theirs, but Lily wants to be just like big brother and sister and has been refusing to sit in her highchair for a few weeks now (screaming, throwing food, etc. when you place her in it). So, I finally caved and bought her a Kaboost of her own. I still think this is the coolest thing ever. We are going through the teaching phase of sitting vs. standing in chairs and not climbing on the table, but with only one around she's not as nearly persistent as the twins. Thank goodness! Hopefully her phase won't last as long or be as painful :-).

Oh so proud of her self

Random shot of daddy and Lily. She loves to get in front of the camera and say cheese now. Only she walks towards the camera as she says cheese so you better snap fast or you will have a nose shot.

Momma's Getting a Job

The kids are getting older and getting more involved in stuff. John and I still want me to stay home with them, but would love a secondary income to help pay for their school and the many activities I'm sure they will want to do over the years. Lily is still pretty little so I needed to find something that I could do with her by my side. My mom has used Tupperware forever and I made my first purchase when the twins were born (a quick shake container to help make their bottles). I fell in love with the brand. I finally decided to try my hand at selling Tupperware to see if I could make a little extra money while having some fun. My website is:

Be sure to check it out and let me know if you need anything (or you can order straight from the website). There are really cool hostess gifts too if you'd like to earn some free product for yourself by hosting a party (you can even host an online party). And yes my dear family and friends, you will be invited to a Tupperware party. I'm hosting my first party at my house Friday evening, Sept. 17th at 6:30 where we will enjoy Fajita Chicken, Homemade Salsa and some fun time together. I may even try to get some margaritas on the rocks going. I really hope everyone can come. I'll follow-up with more details soon.
