Choppage!

(It wont let me drag this pic to the bottom, but while I am removing hair, Brandon is growing a Mexi- stash. Go ahead and ask me if I like it, I dare you ;) (He also just got out of the shower so that's why his hair is a fro...but the fro is probably next for him)

Alright alright people, get off my back! I am a busy girl! So, sorry I didn't post these earlier. But yes, I really did it... I cut 8 inches off my hair! I haven't had hair that short since the day before the 8th grade dance when Dad cut my hair in his bathroom. This was his explanation of how it got to be about as short as my ears, "well, I started on one side, and then the other side was a little shorter, so I had to try and even them up, but then that side was a little shorter too..." (Word to the wise: a little something I learned in my 815 hours of hair school so far: start a haircut in the BACK!) Anyways, no I couldn't donate it cuz I had color in it, notice the subtle honey highlights?

Before: (Brandon wasn't around to take a pic, so I had to do the tacky mirror ones :)

After: (Warning, these were taken right before bedtime so I look sick and I hadn't straightened my hair so it looks kinda weird :)

You likey??? You probably don't think it's very short but if you know me, you know I NEVER cut my hair! I feel so liberated!!! In the words of the hilarious blog, "Seriously, So Blessed" I feel like the pioneers! ;)

It Figures...

Of course I am sick and have ZERO voice, so if you have been trying to call me I probably just don't answer because you wont be able to hear me anyways! I have just accepted the fact that my immune system has made the decision to stop working. It's cool, I'm fine with it now.

HENCE, if you need to get ahold of me, you are probably better off calling my awesome, amazing, sweet, husband who is always taking care of me!!

Breaking News!!

Okay, so I know I have hidden it really well the past nine months (thank you yoga!), but yesterday afternoon around 3:15 pm our family grew by 4 little ones! Everything went really well and there cannot be any prouder parents in the world than us. We have been wanting to expand our family for quite some time now and yesterday was the day.

Welcome, Angel (pronounced "An'jel")...

Her name simply describes all that she is.

Welcome, Dupree...

Great action shot....Dupree is such a rockstar.

Welcome, Orangejello (Pronounced "Or-an-gel-O")...

Or-ang is pretty cocky..he's like Lightning McQueen, really likes to pose- "Kachooww!!"



Welcome, Lemonjello (Pronounced "Lem-on-gel-O")

Lem-on is really shy..he likes his own personal space behind the trees and it's hard to get him to come out of his room. We just can't wait for the teenage years. *Rolls eyes*





The Kids really love their new home!! Just watching the joy in their eye balls makes the 3am feedings totally worth it!

"Oh Sweet Lovaaaa!!"

Yesterday was the day of love, also the one year anniversary of the day that I took Brandon home to meet my family! Yesterday was one of the best days of mah life!!



On Friday, my gift to Brandon was to go and get back treatments at my school in the Esthetics program. And let me tell you, they were A-MAZ-ING!! It is like an hour long facial for your back including lots of back, hand, and arm massages. I was seriously in heaven. Then, that night Brandon's high school friend Eric and his wife Beka came down from Utah State so we went and ate at Sizzler and saw Madagascar 2 at the dollar theater. We love Eric and Beka!

On Saturday (the actual day of lurve), after sleeping in for a little bit, I was awoken by a wonderful husband who had made me breakfast in bed! Yummy French Bread French Toast, eggs, sausage (that Brandon made himself, sometimes at work if they don't have any deliveries, Vaud, his really old and sweet boss, will have them make sausage! Apparently he used to be a butcher..), and orange juice! And then came out to find these on the table:

Don't you love the bling-bling wrapped around the vase? It's probably like 50 karots.

And then I took a nap :)

And then we went and picked up the Kids at "Jay's Jungle Pet Shop"

And then we went and ate a nummy nummy dinner at GoodWood (my new favorite, better spinach and artichoke dip than CPK. Do NOT freak out at me Moyes women!)

And then we went and saw "He's Just Not That Into You" at the really nice, new theater by University Mall. It was pretty good, but there was a guy cheating on his poor wife for like the whole movie so that part broke my heart...but the rest I liked. And Jen Aniston is my new idol...talk about a rockin bod!! ;) Oh yeah and there was a preview of a new movie with Emma Stone (you know, my old best friend) and other stars such as Matthew McConaughey! Crizazy!

It was such a good weekend and I don't want it to ennnnd. Sorry ladies, but I def have the best Valentine in the whole wide world!!

P.S. For some reason they don't believe in giving cosmetology students more than 4 days off a year, so yes I have school tomorrow. But don't worry! We DO get Pioneer Day off! Phew!

Just Add Her to the List

So...last night while Brandon was at the library I thought I would rent the movie "The House Bunny" to help pass the time. My friends at school always talk about/quote that movie so I thought I would watch it myself. (I don't think most people who read this blog would really like that movie, but I thought it was SO hilarious) Anyways, I just loved one of the main girls in that movie (Natalie, she is the president of the house)..thought she was hilarious, but I could not think of what other movie she was in! It was driving me nuts and this morning Brandon was watching a little bit of the movie and IT HIT ME!!! I didn't know her from another movie...I KNEW her because we were BEST FRIENDS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! Her name is Emily Stone (goes by Emma now). She was always doing plays for the Valley Youth Theater in Phoenix and was soooo crazy and outgoing. I remember being so sad and crying at the end of 6th grade because she was moving to L.A. to be on the show "All That." I would always tell my family about her and how she was going to be so famous one day but you all thought I was so dumb and didn't believe me! Well it may have taken a few years but here she is!! I'm so proud of her and glad that she finally made it! I guess she has played some small roles in other movies but this is the first time I've noticed her. And it was a huge role, she even got to make out with the lead singer from the All American Rejects! Now, if I can only find some awesome pics from those good ole Sequoya days and make some money selling them to the tabloids!! ;)

Just add her to the list of millions of famous people the Moyes know....

Just Gar-geous

Our kids are gunna be so lucky to have parents that look like this...

Mmmmmmm

Winter

I HATE THIS COLD WEATHER AND AM SO READY FOR THE SUMMERRRRRR!


Okay, I just had to get that outta my system.


Well, we had a fabulous Christmas break. After not ever getting over my cold, I decided I needed to start my leave of absence from school 2 weeks early so I can get better before Christmas. It was a good choice and I was pretty healthy by the time we left for Idaho. Saturday the 20th was the wedding of my old roommate Elaine and a good friend Ryan (finally!! ;) Laine actually ended up borrowing my dress and I was honored to let her use it! She looked better in it than I did! It was a great day and we are so happy to have some more married friends!

We then traveled to Brandon's parent's house in Burley for Christmas. It was a lot of fun being able to see all of his siblings, even Eric and Katie came all the way from New York. Lots of good food and partying...unfortunately I still didn't have a camera charger so I got all of 1 picture taken :) It was pretty hard to be away from my family (and Beaver!) for Christmas but the Andersen's made me feel very much at home. Brandon got me two necklaces, a Suns Steve Nash t-shirt, and a steamer for my clothes!! It is seriously my favorite thing lately, I always hated ironing but steaming is so much faster and better and funner ;) Thanks hunny! I gave him some BYU sweatpants, gloves, and a Fossil watch. It was a great first Christmas together.

And then came the not so fun stuff. The plan was to travel back to Provo on Saturday the 3rd for the BYU vs Wake Forest basketball game. On Friday I was sick alll day with the yucky stomach flu (nothing I hate more). I couldn't keep any food or drink down so my body was literally empty. Saturday I woke up feeling pretty good but as the morning went on and I got in the shower, I could barely breathe. My body started cramping up really bad and I could hardly stand without Brandon holding me up. Well of course this scared him so he forced me to go to the hospital (nothing I hate more). Once we got into the ER they drew a lot of blood (nothing I hate more) and then after fishing around in one arm for a vein they decided to put the IV in the other arm (nothing I hate more) and gave me two full bags of IV. After being there for at least 3 hours we found out that I had Gastroenteritis and a bladder infection. I was feeling a little better and got to finally go home. We felt that I probably shouldn't sit in a car for 3 hours to go home so we stayed another night in Burley. I felt so bad that we had to the miss the big game, but they ended up losing anyways, so it's all good. I was pretty weak for about a week and had a few bad bruises on my arms, but I am doing mucho better now and started school on the 5th.

Now, we're just getting back into the swing of things. We both are very busy with school and work and sometimes don't even see each other until after 10 at night :( We hope all is well with everyone else and will try to blog more this semester!

Oh yeah, and GO CARDINALS!!
