Happy Day at the Electric Chair

I know, I know you are all going to be absolutely shocked but I actually found a stylist that I didn't hate. I was looking a long time ago for a new hair stylist and I came across this place called the Electric Chair. The name made me laugh, so I decided to look into it. Turns out it is owned by two brothers one of whom calls himself Dr. Dread. They are all tattooed and pierced everywhere which only sparked my interest more. After trying and failing to convince my mom that she should go check them out first I got brave and made an appointment.
Robin cut my hair yesterday and while it is WAY shorter than I had originally wanted I still love it. It is actually even again. Mom was so impressed that she booked her appointment for the next day and she came out with a great hair cut as well. I mean she's no Patrick but it's the best I've found so far!

This is what Boise looked like yesterday when I left the office...beautiful huh! I just wish Boston would share some of that snow instead of selfishly hogging it all!

Shelly and Hailey are Back!

Shelly and Hailey have been here for the past week and it has been so much fun! Hailey is so happy and funny. She does this fake smile thing that just cracks me up. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it...maybe next time. Below is just a little sample of what happens when Grandma and Aunt Sarah take Hailey out for a little shopping trip during her nap time. You do what you can right?



Hailey loved Dad, they played the entire week that she was here. By the way, isn't mom's tree beautiful!?!

Hailey got a little wild at church so I took her out and we played in the hall. She was running around like a mad woman and then out of nowhere she came over to me, held her hands up for me to pick her up, threw herself sideways and fell asleep. Apparently she had had her fun and was ready for a nap. I have to say, I don't know how some of you moms out there don't have massive muscles from holding sleeping babies. Hailey about broke my arm off while she was sleeping!
This is Shelly being...well, Shelly! It was so much fun to have Shelly and Hailey here this last week, I really do miss having everyone close so we can see each other all the time. Love you guys!

An Overdue Update!

Okay so I know it has been forever and I have a few pictures to share. So here goes...my past few weeks in pictures!


FUN AT THE BAZAARS!

We have been spending quite a bit of time at the bazaars in town. I have to say it is probably one of my favorite things about the Christmas season. We have done it ever since we were little and I am so glad that I am actually in town this year to enjoy it!

Sheila, Grandma Nona and Mom being cute while eating at the Caldwell bazaar. Now check out the bottom picture and you will see Sheila cracking everyone up! I think we were talking about how to take a proper picture and look your best and Sheila pulled this face out of no where!


Audrey and Cindy (pictured below) checking out all the great crafts.


IT'S MY PARTY!

So, November 18th was my birthday and I actually got to have a party! I don't think I have had a real birthday party since I was like 8 so I was really excited! I invited all the girls over for a hot tub party and let me tell you...it was a blast!

Enjoying the food and company!
It started out at 5 but by the time we were done there were 11 of us in the new hot tub! It even started to rain while we were out there but none of us went in. We were all soaked from head to toe by the time we got out.


Mom didn't have candles like she had thought!

Okay, just check out this scary clown on my cake. It was so funny because my Dad went out and picked up the cake at a little Mexican bakery and she stuck on the clown before he could tell her not to. We all had to laugh because the majority of us are totally creeped out by clowns.


OFF TO BOSTON!


This is an actual fire escape...just beautiful!

We took the T quite a bit and it rocked us to sleep almost every time!

Kristin cooked Thanksgiving diner for the first time this year. It turned out really good but we couldn't resist having a little fun and making the turkey dance before hand!

The Turkey was pretty heavy so we had to get Kenley's help to flip it over a few times.

Everyone loves stuffing! Kristin's was excellent!

Okay, so Cora cracks me up! While Kristin was getting ready one day Cora and I played in her hat and mine. Just check out the funny pictures I got.

Cora, telling me how it is in her cool cowboy hat!

Story time!

She was doing this fake laugh thing that just cracked me up. I also thought she looked a lot like Fievel in this hat that was far to big for her little head. Her ears were the only things that held it up!

Watch out America's Next Top Model Cora's got one of the best Model faces this world's ever seen! ha,ha,ha!

This is the most Fievel like picture I think!
Cora wouldn't hold still so Kristin could change her diaper so we decided to take pictures. (Kristin this ones for you!)

Then mom said, "That's enough, we can't go anywhere until you get dressed!"


Poor baby Cora


There's the baby we all know and love!

All in all Boston was amazing! I had tons of fun spending time with Kristin, Kenley and Cora and I may just have to relocate!

So, there you have it...my last few weeks in pictures! Hope you enjoyed it and I promise, no more blogs this long!

I wish I wasn't...But I SO am!

Let me just start by saying that a long, long, long time ago I was a BIG fan of scary movies, scary shows and all things that made you jump 10 feet in the air. Shelly and I would stay up till all hours of the morning watching Monster Movie Marathons and X-Files. We were partners when it came to going to scary movies as well. I don't ever remember having nightmares or anything like that, I just remember laughing so hard when we would jump or scream. It was fun and we shared a room so if something was going to get me in the night...it would have to go through Shelly first which would give me plenty of time to run for my life! Sad thing was...it was always Shelly that scared me half to death at night time.
Now, Skip ahead a few years to college. I went with my roommates and FHE brothers to see The Ring. I hadn't seen a scary show in a while and let me tell you...that show scared the pants off of me. I didn't share a room with anyone and I had a TV sitting at the foot of my bed! Bad Combination! I started to have nightmares and I swore I would never watch scary movies again because it just wasn't worth it.
Now, Skip ahead a few more years to...oh I don't know... a few weeks ago. Sheila comes into work telling me about this TV show, Supernatural, that she had borrowed from the Brants. She would come in and tell me about different episodes and ended up convincing me to borrow it after her and Ryan were done. I tried to watch it with my mom but it turns out she is a bigger baby than me and she didn't even make it through the first episode. I then turned to my roommate to watch it with...she works nights at the hospital so that didn't work out so well. Everyone I could think of to watch it with was either out of town, out of the country or didn't like scary shows. So, I began watching them by myself. I have to tell you, I was super scared at first especially when I basically live alone these days and there are all kinds of scary noises out side my building at night but now I find myself falling back in love with scary shows again. I am loving this show and the story and it has Denny (for those of you who watched Grey's Anatomy) in it sometimes. I think you should all take a look because it really is fun to watch. It's about two brothers who hunt all things supernatural trying to find the demon that killed their mother. Check it out!
