Helping Dad Like Old Times
It's been a while since I saw my three boys under the hood of a car. They used to always be around Chad in the shop.

I guess Alyssa and I have been feeling the same way about our hair. I decided to go back to dark also. My good friend who did my hair, ran with me, and switched off date nights moved. I was so sad to see her go. I really needed to get my hair done but hate paying over 50 bucks, so I went to the scary beauty college here and turned out pleasantly surprised. I really like my color. It is a dark brown but has some auburn in it. I was scared while they were painting it on because it was bright orange. I think I'll keep it this way for a while. Chad likes it dark and he even complemented me on it a few days later when my scalp was no longer dyed orange.

Check Out My Good Looking Boys:
Quade and Kaden hate getting ready for Church, there is always crying. Grandma Contor gave them both white cowboys shirts for Christmas. Quade likes to wear his to church with Chad's bolo tie like his Grandpa Barnes used to wear. I still can't get Kaden to wear the vest that came with his new church outfit. I guess I'll just keep trying he'll probably grow out of it by the time I actually get him to put it on.



















Spring Time In January
We had about 4 days of wonderful spring weather here in Moscow. We broke out the bikes and went down to the bike path. Quade is learning how to ride and is getting very good. Kaden played with his bike for a while then decided to go fishing in the bird bath for leaves, Quade joined him later. It was so nice to get outside.

Green Eggs and Ham are a favorite breakfast at our house. Quade learned how to make them at school and now he loves to cook them for all of us.

On New Years Eve the boys but a light show on for Chad and I. They turned on the radio and just started dancing. Then Quade had a cool idea to turn off all the lights and dance with their flashlights. They were so fun to watch and it turned out being the best New Years party I've ever been to.

Target Shooting Christmas Eve
Chad got a early graduation gift for Christmas. A new Benelli shot gun. It is pretty sweet, so we had to go try it out on some clay pigeons. We all love to go shooting. We love going in the mountains, and Quade and Kaden like to learn about guns (safely).
