My Video 5/31/13 at OneTrueMedia.com

Here we have B's first ever violin recital after 8 weeks of lessons. He had never been accompanied before and he had no idea he was doing a duet, so it threw him off a bit, but he was the happiest kid ever! It was so precious. He also did a video of practicing so everyone can see he does know the songs better than he sounded like at the recital!

Red Hair, Like It or Not

I got a Groupon for a cut and color or highlights.  I thought it would be fun to get red highlights.  I told the hairdresser what I wanted and she said, "No, your hair is too dry.  I think we should do a full color."  I told her I didn't want a full color, just red highlights please.  "Um, I don't think you'll look very good with red highlights.  I think we should do gold, bronze, or caramel "  No, I want red highlights.  "Okay, fine.  Fine, whatever you want.  We'll do red."  Good.  After all it's my hair and I'm the one paying, right?  So, she said she had to bleach a few strands which took forever, then told me to come over to the sink to wash my hair.  She then faced me away from the mirror to cut and style it and when she turned me around the whole front and top of my hair were RED, not highlighted and the back was still all black.  Awesome, huh?  So, apparently I have red hair, whether I like it or not.  I wasn't very happy.  But N had already been with the kids for 4 hours at this point so I had to go home.  Awesome, huh?  N thought it was hilariously funny.  I on the other hand was horribly embarrassed   Whenever I look in the mirror I remind myself of those Eastern European ladies I used to see in Jerusalem with their fake red hair, 7 inch heels and black spandex.  (I of course, am not in heels or spandex.  Thank goodness!)  However; B thought it was the best hair ever and asked me to keep it that way--red and straight--forever!

B and S took turns taking pictures of me.  They LOVE having a turn to use the camera.  Minus the red crazy hair, the pictures didn't turn out too badly!

Sibling Photos

No luck getting the perfect expression, but we tried!  They're still cuties!

E's Turn!

E loved the blue bonnets.  She just sat right down in the middle of them and started looking at them.  Even when it was time to go home, she insisted she wasn't coming.  She wanted to stay with the flowers.  I have to say, they smelled good too!  

S and Blue Bonnets

S turn!  Silly boy.  He was terrified to lay down in the flowers after B reminded him that there were bees in the blue bonnets last year!  There wasn't a bee around this time.  After that I had a hard time convincing him to hold still and let me take any pictures!  E up next!

B and Blue Bonnets

So, we did our annual blue bonnet photo shoot.  We will start with B who was very excited to tell me that the blue bonnet is our state flower.  He insisted that the sun was in his eyes no matter what angle we tried for, so once again nothing "professional" but we do have some cute pictures.  Now is when I need my brother-in-law the amazing photographer to photo-shop and fix up my pictures!  S and E up next!
