Pay It Forward
The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a handmade (or possibly store-bought) gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. It won't be free though . . . in order to qualify you need to post this same thing on your own blog and then come back and leave a comment telling me you've done it. Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift!

ok, So the real story is I have this awesome friend to make the coolest stuff ever. And, anything that I could get from her would be full of awesomeness. So I commented on her post, and now I have to post the same thing. So, yes, I really will do something for you . . . but don't be surprised if it involves candy :).

Red Rocks!!

We went with the play group to do a little hike at Red Rock, and it was so much fun. Sam (who I am starting to call my Mannie)was awesome and made the trip so much better/easier.

Sam carried Jens in the backpack.

Yep, a natural waterfall near Vegas.

the Silver Lining

My Grandpa passed away in December. He was amazing at "tinkering" which led to lots of tools. My Grandma was gracious enough to let Mark take the tools- I would tell you what they all are, but I really don't know. There was only one tricky part, where to put them. But Mark worked his magic and has managed to put them in a space literally 1/8 from where they came from. So, now hopefully this will be followed by some posts of what Mark has made.

Jens 1st hair cut

One of the smartest, funniest, awesomest person in the world once told me, don't get mad, get blogger (thanks Lis). So here it is for today:

I was being so good today and did Jens hair. Cute little pony on tip top of her cute little head. And, it actually lasted about 3 hours until she took it out.

I was doing stuff in the office, and I should have known it was too quite. Jens came to me and had hair on her face. And her hair looks like this:

Then MJ came to me with this

So I out it in an evleope and marked it "Jens 1st haircut by MJ"

Poor Jens, the girl had little to no hair to being with. ALLWELL :)

Oh no you didn't

Oh yes she did:Yep, poop . . .on the floor . . . carpet.

But didn't stop there, had to add the TP

And of course it was Sunday morning. Lovely :)

Yes, I did it- ME!

Yeah! I am so proud of myself. :) And MJ too, she was soo good to sit still.

Thanks Mom for the super cute Cupcake hair tie. Thanks Em for the link!

DAM!!!!!!!!!!

What did the fish say when it hit the wall? DAM!

I wanted to take pictures of the new DAM road/bridge:

Crack kills part 2

Zooooooooooooo

Mark had a conference in Phoenix, and we thought we would tag along and play while he worked. Good idea at first, but being in a strange place with little kids all by my self was more work than I originally planned. BUT, we had an excellent time at the ZOO!

My favorite was the Giraffes.

But the girls seemed to like the non-exotic animals or even just the water they drank I am hoping the highlight for MJ was the Camel ride

We finished up the trip by stopping for a super exciting tour of a candy factory. OK, so not exciting at all, and we lasted an entire 3 min on the tour. MJ didn't even want to stick around for the picture.

But Jens loved it!

Grandpa Hersch turns 90

PARTYYYY?? Because Grandpa turned 90. Good times :).
