Hairy Situation in the DAYTIME

I am so proud to announce that my hardworking, no sleep getting, full-time studenting, financial clerking, husband of mine has gotten a day shift job!! For the past 3.5 years my lovey has worked nights on a 3 on 3 off shift. He has also gone to school full time during most of it and held very prestigious callings in the Church. He has done the "Haven't slept in over 30 hours" thing which is really hard. I am just so happy for him to have his load lightened, even if it's just a tad. Having him home every night is worth the 30 cent pay cut. Love you babe and Congratulations!

So I colored my hair a few weeks ago and it was way darker than it is now. The "peek-a-boos" have gone more blond than red. But I still love it. The color it is now is less rebel more adultish. Does that even make sense? Anyways, I am thinking after this color fades to blond (I have to bleach my hair to color it since it's so healthy & dark) I am going to do Demi Lavoto red. It's like a ruby red with purple undertones. Google it, or look on my facebook page. I have a picture posted of her from a few days ago. I have wanted to start this year off skinny, fit, well rested, on a schedule with new hair, new clothes and a new outlook on life. So far I have the hair and clothes and most of the outlook done.

It's only January. I have 11 more months to finish my goals. I'm doing great!!

Red Lobster....

Today my dad took his girls out to lunch. Well, most of us. Hallie had class and couldn't miss. It was fun to go to lunch with my parents and see them getting along and happy. Plus, it's always really fun to see them interact with Hadleigh. She did a couple funny things that I thought I would write down here so I don't forget.

When she wanted a crouton she said "Mommy, can I have a crunch?" So cute.
She also was telling my mom and dad what we did this week since we hadn't seen them since Monday. "I was good and got in the hot tub. And I almoss falled out but I didn't" And this little gem. "I was cryin cryin cryin cuz I was naughty and I sat in time out all night, all night."

She is too much! She is sooo smart and soo vocal. At least she can remember what we did... I just wish she could remember other stuff besides time-out. I guess it must traumatize her.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

Today was day 2 of swimming lessons. My parents paid for little Hadleigh to take swimming lessons at the Rec. Center for one her Christmas presents. It is 8 weeks long and only on Saturdays. Last week was not good at all. I mean, the water was warm but Hadleigh did very little of what the teacher had us do. We had a hard Saturday last week.

This week she did a little better today. The water was kinda cold so she held on even harder for the first little while. She did finally let me turn her around so she wasn't facing me. I tried getting her to do front floats and back floats but she is so scared to get her ears wet. Dang those ear infections!!

I love to swim and the fact that I have a baby that is scared of water KILLS me!! I think I may actually DIE if she doesn't start picking it and being more comfortable in the "deeper" water. Our hot tub doesn't count either cuz she can literally walk in the "deep" end.

AND to add salt on the wound, if she can get potty trained, like water, have very very basic swimming skills and we can pay for a plane ticket Hadleigh gets to..... GO TO HAWAII!!! That's right! My dad is having a family reunion this summer and my parents have been kind enough to consider taking my daughter with them to meet all her Hawaiian cousins! We can't afford to go but I am hoping that wee can pay for Hadleigh to go. I think she would love it. Warm weather, sand, Hawaiian food, crafts, shorts, other little kids, and my dad.... her ideal life!

Please-Hadleigh- Please- be more cooperative and learn to swim and let's get your b.m's under control!!!

New Me!!

This year we at the Clark house are trying to get our butt in gear. We want to up-grade our bodies (gym time), teach our baby new things(swim lessons and preschool) and make some changes(hair cuts!)

Jordon cut his hair back in December. He had a big fro going but decided he wanted short missionary hair again. I think right now it's at the perfect length. Anyways, it was my turn to get a new hair style. I wanted to do red highlights. But then I saw a picture of Jennifer Aniston and her aline bob.

Here it is people!! My red, slight aline bob!! More pictures to come!

The end of the world....

We had a great Christmas... it went on for 3 days!! So many presents, family and treats! We got so spoiled! Saturday the 24th we had Christmas with my family. Christmas Eve night with the Clarks and then Christmas morning here!! Hadleigh and I went to Utah Monday through Wednesday with my parents to see my moms family. It was so fun!!

For New Years the 3 of us just stayed here and watched movies and drank soda. Hadleigh went to bed at about 10:30... we let her stay up late for NYE and we stayed up til about 12:30. We died that night. Thank goodness church wasn't until 11. Well, we missed the first 2 meetings but made it for Sacrament! Yahoo!

I hope all is well with you because all is well here. Cheers!
Welcome To Our Crazy Wonderful life!
