I can't forget Jazzy

Ok, these are really hard to see, but she has blue hair tinsel in her hair. When we were at the solon she kept asking to get her hair cut too. With a lot of pleases and I said no. There was tears shed our stylist suggested some hair tinsel Jazzy climbed into the chair, wiped her tears and said blue please. How could I say no to that :) If I can get a better picture later I will post that but this is all I have for now. I am always amazed at how important it is for her to be just like her sister. So now we are hiding the scissors!

Fun Finds

This is what we found Sunday evening..........

MIKYLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This wasn't all of it either, there was a lot down the hallway that fell off of her and a big chunk hanging to her dress.

You can see how short it is on the right side in front

I'm holding a section on the left that she chopped

Mikylee's ready for her first real hair cut

All done

complete with some rainbow hair tinsel

back view, most importantly she love her new hair cut

Family Pics

These are only a few of the pics we got, but I couldn't download 50 pics. I love Elsha! she does such a great job.

Primary Program

Here we are getting ready to go to church. Derric had a singing part and two speaking parts and Mikylee had her speaking part for our program. Jazzy's job was just to look cute. The kids did such a good job it made me cry. I was so proud of them.

Halloween

Halloween at the Teel's house. It was quite the party with a haunted house and trunk or treating.

Really who know's what Jazzy and I are, but we had fun with the face paint.

My Cookie Monsters

The kids were helping me make sugar cookies. Of course Jazzy has more flour on herself, notice it all over her face, in her hair, and covered hands

so precious. Those two really enjoy each other

The three most adorable kids I have EVER seen. Love them with all my heart

Mikylee as Bell

Mikylee loves Bell. I think she makes a pretty adorable one myself. She is headed off to her Halloween party at school. So many shots I know but pictures just don't do it justice :)

Dance studio pic. Finished and being used!!!

I Love how it turned out. It's hard to believe it started out an old grungy garage. Huge thank you to my husband for letting me be ME. And to my parents who came in and rescued Mike and I when we were over our heads in this project. And to Blake and Janey and Mikes parents who came and offered there help so we could open our doors on time!

My Baby turns 7

Kind of a hard start. This is Derric in the NICU. Born 5lb 13oz 20 in long. But he was a tough boy from the start and has been a joy from the beginning. Seven years has gone by WAY to fast. Love Ya D Man!!!

Here's Fiji

Looking out across the water from our resort

Looking out from our room

1st dinner provided by YESCO. This guy was really screaming before, during, and after our picture.

Michael drinking the Kava. Everyone drank Kava. One try was enough, it tastes like muddy water.

Getting ready for our river trip into the local villages.

Nice little speed boat :)

A lot faster than it looked!

Little children in the village we visited. We did a lot of dancing and had so much fun.

On our sunset dinner cruise. BEAUTIFUL

our beach we went snorkeling

Mike and his big catch :)

In front of the Hindu Temple. Mike failed the temple interview:) He had sausage and eggs for breakfast so we weren't aloud in. It was ok we went sight seeing at other places.

Mine is the pink board, OH YEAH!!

Mike after surfing. Sadly we didn't have anyone to take pics while we were out on the waves. I kicked his trash surfing :) He still loves me though! lol

our waves

Ian our surf instructor

Our group that we hung out with the majority of the time. Ryan and Mary Young, Matt and Michelle Wren and me and Mike.

The rewards dinner. We were met with a band and tribal dancers. then sung to by the children's choir.

With Mike and Karen Young. Such nice people!

We went to church and I got to lead the music in Primary. Again I'm thankful for the opportunities the Lord gives me.

Mike and I in front of the church.

An amazing trip. This is only a small amount of the pics we had but I hope you enjoyed them and get an idea of what it was like. We loved every minute of it. Even the massages that were so bad and my flashing the massage therapist but that is a another story for another day :)
