My Daughter's hair

Yesterday I tried a new style on J's hair. Her hair always looks like a mess. It is curly under and mostly straight on the top.

Here is a prime example.

We have been trying to find something to do with her hair so it looks put together and not so much like she hasn't brushed it in a month.

We've tried straightning it.That doesn't look so hot and it is really hard on her hair.

We've tried just pulling it back into a low ponytail.A little better, but still very messy.

We've tried the one half pony up and the rest down.It's cute, but the front falls out within a couple of hours.

Then the other day I found and amazing blog ALL THINGS SNAPBANDZ. She does some beautiful hair styles and shows you how to do them step by easy step. Here is a couple of pictures of J's hair yesterday.
It stayed so well that it is still in today!

Mad and Frustrated Beyond Belief

I had planned on having a HUGE post today about what our lives have been like the last couple of months with pictures to accompany it. Unfortunately my camera and computer had another idea. As I was downloading my 211 pictures something went very, very wrong.

I followed all of the normal steps and for some reason it did not put the pictures on my computer, but it did erase them all from my camera.

I. Could. Scream.

Instead, I will share 2 pictures from our lives.

I would show you a picture of Big E, but since he has turned 16 at the end of August he has gotten his license and a job. We don't hardly see him anymore. I am very, very proud of him though. He is becoming a man!
