Our Family Photo

So here is one of our family photos from this year and yes, I have long hair and it is brown. I think most shocking is that it is long, I have had many people comment on it. I am shocked myself everyday that I have not chopped it off. I am sure the day is coming but I am trying to grow it since it has been quite a long time since I have had it long. I would like to comment on Loni's pose....She is either almost praying or trying to look cool or about to rap....I am still unsure. But she is darn cute, isn't she?? So is the guy to her left. :)

So I decided to add this photo because I think I know why I haven't had long hair in a long.....long...time. Probably because of how it looked when it was long....like a poodle. I still love that pumpkin though, I wish I could win another one just like it. I have never seen such a perfect pumpkin, have you?? Anyway enough of this nonsense. Hope you enjoyed.

School children in Iraq

For those of you who know and those who don't, Rick was in Iraq for almost 3 months. He didn't do anything really exciting, except for go to this school to take soccer balls and school supplies, so he says. Which is alright with me because I really don't want to know if he is in harms way. They played soccer with the kids here and they all loved it. Rick didn't take too many pictures, but I have to say that the pictures of the kids were the best. They look so attentative to the soldiers and excited to see them. Most of the other pictures were of sand with some buildings or vehicles, occasionally, and then more sand. I would not want to have to dust there, but I am sure Pledge would love for me to start. Anyway I hope some of this is some interest to someone because I am not really sure what I should type.

Toothless Beauty

Loni lost her first tooth yesterday. She kept asking what I did when I had loose teeth and I told her that I sat in front of the mirror wiggling it until it fell out. She decided to try this but was easily bored. Does this tell you something about this generation of kids?? Anyway we were playing a game and she said her tooth hurt and it had started to bleed. She went and got a tissue and I told her to lay down in my lap and I would get all the blood. She did and I asked her if she wanted me to pull it out. She said no and so did Rick. He doesn't like people to touch his teeth. I told her I wouldn't. I started getting the blood and decided to just try to see if it would come out. So I pulled.........and it did. Loni was just laying there and I was smiling....Rick looked over and said, Loni your tooth is gone! They didn't even know I had pulled it out. Loni was fine with it, but today she told her Grandma that she looked funny!
