Charity Cut-A-Thon.

This Friday, January 29th, Scot Lewis School/Paul Mitchell Partner School, is putting on a Cut-A-Thon for Haiti victims.  It will be $10 per haircut and 100% of the proceeds go to Haiti.  Please help us out by referring anyone to us!  Thanks!

Long Day.

It was a long day at school today, but I did an amazing color and haircut!  I was very pleased and she is rebooking with me for six weeks out :).

I filed my taxes today and did my FAFSA so I am all set for 2010.  It has been a great start to a new year for our family and I am very appreciative of all the help that everyone has given us in the past and will continue to give.  Thanks everyone!

Watching Championship Playoffs.

Alexis is watching the playoffs game with us today.  She loves football just like Mommy and Daddy.

Tattoo.

Kort is going to get his tattoo today.  He's really excited and I've been telling him he could get one since early last year, but we just never get around to it.  Well he finally can.  I'm not a big fan of tattoos and I don't think I'd ever get one, but I'm really excited for him.  :)

Update..
He just sent me a picture on his cellphone, I think it looks great!  He's so passionate about music so this fits him perfectly, it's a treble clef.

Yummy.

Kort and I went to see Avatar last night and it was amazing!  I'm so happy we got a chance to see it on the big screen because it was such a moving story and had great characters.  We really enjoyed ourselves.



Today we went out for lunch at Olive Garden and the food was delicious.  I love OG!  Alexis was so good the whole time.  She didn't cry or anything.  She started fussing a bit and I just gave her a bottle with breast milk that I took along (life saver!) and she was great.  She's so funny about trying to hold her bottle.  She tries so hard.  Its super cute.

Date Night!

Yay!  Tonight is date night for "Mommy and Daddy." We are going to see Avatar and grab a quick dinner :) The movie is 3 hours so a quick dinner is all we get before we have to pick up Alexis.  Grandma Pam is watching her tonight and I know she is excited too.  I love being a Mom!

On a different note...

I finally made cookies!  And they were delicious.  I meant to take some to school and share them and some to our neighbors but we ate them all. So I will be making another batch :) My New Year's resolution is going good so far. My mom taught me to make bread, which trust me is harder than it looks making it by hand, and I have made Pot Roast too.  That's three new things that I haven't previously made.  I'm learning! I also realized I don't have many pictures of Kort and I so here's some random ones I found.

Talking Away.

Alexis is at the stage now where all she wants to do is talk, talk, talk.  Its baby talk, but adorable! She melts my heart!   

This is her "Team Edward" pose lol.

Life is Good.

Alexis stretching - she is always so happy when she wakes up.  I love putting little hats on her.  She doesn't like them but I think she looks so precious with them on.  She's my little princess!

She's getting so big on me!  I just realized that in about 2 months both Kort and I will be 24 years old and we will have accomplished all of our goals that we set.  We said before we're 25 years old we want a baby, a house, and good careers.  So far we have a two and a half month old baby, :)  our home, and almost all of our debt paid off (other than the mortgage).  Life is good.

Alexis's Room.

Kort, Me and Senia painting Alexis's room purple.

Alexis's room - almost finished, lol.  I still haven't put pictures into her picture frames.  I'm a procrastinator!!  My sister helped me hand paint all of the flowers and the lettering for my Baby Doll's room.  Thanks Senia!

Temporary lamp until I can buy her a cute one that matches her room decor.

All clothes from her baby shower - she has lots of people that care for her :) She's now outgrown almost half of her closet.

Kort and I on the day we signed papers to move into our new home :)

I realized that I never did put up pictures of my little girls room.  We had a blast painting it and getting it all decorated.  I was so excited to have my sister and Kort help with it :) The room turned out just as I wanted it to.  Here are some pictures :)

Funny Pictures.

I love my baby doll so much!  We got her into this cute little outfit that Courtney got for her and it was so hard.  She barely fit into it :) and getting her out of it was a challenge too.  It's 3-6 months!  Geez.  Anyway cute pics for you to look at.

2 Months Old.

My little angel turned two months old on Monday and today we had her 2 month Dr.'s appointment.  She was so good the whole time with one hickup...when we got there she pooped all over her clothes, all up her back and we got it all over the table where she was laying :) she's a pro at getting her messiness all over the doctors office (previous pee pee incident)!  So of course I took a bunch of pictures of her getting her first shots.  She was so happy and smiling for Dr. Wick and the nurses until they poked her.  She cried a little and then when I picked her up she started yelling at me.  I think its the cutest thing.  Of course I say that now... The Dr. said she is in the 75th/80th percentile in all of her stats.  She is 23 3/4" tall and weighs 11 pounds 15 ounces.  She's getting so big!!  Since she was so fussy after she woke up from the Dr.'s office I stayed home with her.  I think her little legs started to ache from where she got her shots and she is coming down with a cold so she is not a happy camper.  Thank goodness she has Mommy to take care of her and love on her!

School.

I started school yesterday.  I have been dreading going back to school for another five months.  It wasn't too bad though.  I just am not a school person.  I love what I want to do but being there and getting the time in is so boring.  It's okay though.  Glass half full.  I'm almost done and I'm going to night school so I can be at home with Alexis during the day.  It's for the greater good.  When I'm done I will get a job and I will love it.  I'm being positive.  On the upside of things the people seem really nice.  I have 400 hours left and I'm done...

Wii.

Kort and I decided to be a little impulsive today and buy a Wii.  We were going to go to Best Buy and buy a new one but decided to look on Craigs List for one and we lucked out.  We found a great bundle with 10 games, 3 controllers, 2 nun chucks, memory card, carrying case, a bunch of extras for $250.  It was great!  That is our birthday presents for the both of us.  :)

Happy New Year!!
