Bye-Bye Peach Fuzz

For about 6 months now I have been noticing a little bit of growth on Colton's upper lip. It used to be noticeable only when the sun hit it at a certain angle. While at church on Sunday I happened to look at him and I kid you not the kid had a fuzz-stache. It was thick and very blond. Does this look like a kid who is old enough to have fuzz? I should say not. Okay, the pic is a couple of years old but still, come on.
I started teasing him and I told Jeff he was going to have to have a tutorial on using a razor soon. Much to my dismay, right after church the "boys" went upstairs and proceeded to shave the fuzz. I was quite sad. My boy is shaving. HE IS TO YOUNG. Well, he only shaved once but still. It will happen again. I am not quite ready. I mean, shaving underarms is a necessity and if Kinz wasn't in a leo 24/7 I wouldn't have showed her how.
I will report that no eyebrows were harmed in the shaving of the fuzz-stache.

Jaycie-ism

Kinzie: "Mom, what is a Pharmacist?"
Jaycie: Looking at Kinz like she was an idiot- "duh- its a person who works on a farm."

Where does she get this stuff- she seriously cracks me up.

Fake fingernails

The girls have been begging for fake fingernails for a while. I didn't think they would need them because they would be a pain in the butt. Well, yesterday Jeff took them to Wal-mart and bought them both a set of nails. Kinzie got some that super glue on, and Jaycie got press-ons.
While applying Jaycie's nails he told her if she left her nails under water for a long time they would fall off. So last night she didn't want to bath for fear of her nails falling off. She got in and held her hands out of the water while I gave her a bath. Later that night she had to go to the bathroom and she wanted me to come and wipe her bum. That was going to far. I bathed her, I was not about to wipe her partially grown up bum. So I told her "absolutely not." She then proceeded to whine, "but I can't wipe it, cuz then I will have to wash my hands, and my nails will get ruined." Come to find out, "someone" hadn't been to the bathroom since she had put her nails on for fear of ruining them.

Getting Big...

Tonight a friend in our ward called and asked Kinzie to babysit. She has three adorable little kids. 2 boys, which are 6 and 4, and a little girl who is 1. I was a little nervous about her doing it, not because she couldn't handle it, but because this was her first "job". And if she is babysitting, then I am getting old, and she is growing up way to fast. She was very excited. She babysat for three hours, and said the kids where very good and she had tons of fun. So thank you "Ponica" (teehee) for giving her a chance.

Out with the Old; In with the New...

Welcome 2009. This year has been an awesome one. We have had fun times, camping trips, boating fun, and vacations. We have had babies born, new puppies, and fun with friends. We have had numerous x-rays and only 1 broken bone. Gymnastic meets, piano recitals,and guitar concerts. We have had job promotions and job tragedies, and the death of our beloved prophet. We have had love, joy and friendship and many hours spent with family. Lets hope this new year will be as good, or even better than the last.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
