Mom's New Hair Cut

This is mom's new haircut! I really like it. I think mom liked it too! My hairstylist told mom she had to get rid of the mullet and mudflap haircut. Mom was excited that she had grown her hair out enough to put it in bear ears. Then we cut it off, but not too short the top layer is longer so she can still grow it out and get a longer cut if she likes. Tori decided to put a bobby pin in to pull her bangs back and that looks really cute too! Tori made mom smile real big for her pictures and I think she looks great and should smile big in all her pictures!

Good Time with Tori

Tori And I went to see The Proposal yesterday. It was a very funny movie and we really enjoyed it. I was so happy Tori went with me. She is at that age where she is embarrassed to be seen with me at certain places and one of them is the Movies. She thinks she is to old to be going to the movies with her parents. Zig I can understand, but what is so embarrassing about me?(ha, ha) I had so much fun with her. Two Women who were much older (80's) were sitting in front of us and Tori kept saying that would be Pam and I in a couple of years. She teased me saying how I would think I was in style, even though I would have my hair short and white and wearing elastic banded pants. She was so funny I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks Tori for a wonderful afternoon! I miss doing those mom and daughter movie trips, I hope we get to do a few more this summer.

Mom's getting a tready hair-do today!

I am taking mom to my hair stylist today. I am excited to see what she does. I will post a picture later, so you can see what she looks like with her new trendy hair do!

Heart shaped Cheesecakes

Tori found out that for Youth Conference the girls had to bring dessert for two and the boys had to bring dinner for two. She asked me to make cheesecakes. I went to Target to get round mini springform pans, because they had them there during the Holidays. To my dismay Target only had heart shape mini spring form pans. They only had two left, so I went ahead and bought them. When I showed them to Tori, she was like I cant take heart shaped Cheesecakes It would be embarrassing! So we went on a hunt for mini round springform pans. We looked everywhere we could think of and could not find any. Tori was sure she was going to have to take heart shaped cheesecakes and was going to be humiliated.( I didnt think it would be that bad) Tori went to get her nails done and the Salon happened to be next to a micheals. She went in and looked and sure enough they had round mini springform pans! So if you ever need baking items that you can not find try Micheals! Tori was so thankful she got to take round cheesecakes instead of heart shaped ones, we enjoyed the heart shaped ones for breakfast and they where delicious!

Torn Ligaments

As most of you know I have been training to run the Seattle half marathon. I was so excited about this. I had been running 8-81/2 minute miles during training so I had high hopes for Seattle. I was hoping to run it in an hour and fifty minutes or better. While I ran a half marathon in Austin in April and during that run my ankle swelled up, but I still was able to hold a good pace (1:56:45). I did not want to go to the doctor so I stayed off my foot for 2 weeks and iced it, hoping it would get better. I ran and it swelled up again. I finally broke down and went to the doctor. He said I had torn ligaments and could not run for 6 weeks. I was devestated. He told me I could cycle and Swim. I was so depressed I did almost nothing. My six weeks were up about 2 weeks ago. It took me a year to get in great running shape and took me six weeks to get out of shape. That is so not fair. I am still running the Seattle half marathon this coming Saturday. I will have to just do the best I can, but 13.1 miles all of a sudden seems like a long ways to go! The moral to my story is to go to the doctor right away when you have an injury and still workout, even if it is not what you want to do. Hopefully all those running Nike Womens have started training. Cant wait to see you all there!!

Girls Camp

Tori and I got to go to girls camp together last week. We were so tired getting everything ready for camp, that I think we were so tired during camp to enjoy it. It was fun and we decieded to give all the girls a silly award that reminded us of them at camp. You guys know how Tori is with me. She is always teasing. So her award was You Know You Love Your Momma award, everyone got a good laugh at this. Tori had invited Lauren to camp and they were telling all the younger girls that Lauren was her twin sister and I could not handle twins so I gave Lauren away. It was a ridiculous story, but you would not believe how many of the girls believed the story. I had to set them straight before any rumors got started. Lauren recieved the Twin #2(but it aint true) Award. We won for best T-shirt and I was really happy because we tie tied the T-Shirts and Ironed on the Lettering. We made the whole shirt and every other ward had theirs printed and most of them had blue shirts. Ours stood out because they were tie dyed Orange, red and Fuscia. One great thing about girls camp is that me and Tori both got awesome tans. It was 1oo degrees or higher everyday. Emily we need some of your rain, can you send some are way!
