did you hear that i am considering growing out my bangs? and that i am really torn about it because i love them but am sick of the upkeep? but did you also hear that i am going to Mexico in May and that if i have bangs while there i will look like a distressed poodle? did you hear that pathetic things like hair keep me up at night and that i desperately need your approval on hair decisions?

cute post...and your picture of your feet reminded me of something I forgot to tell you. While we were in Utah Millie randomly said, "mom did you know Marci wears a ring on her toe?" I hadn't noticed and so she said, "yeah it's a gold one." Apparently she really admires your style!
I LOOOOVE Les miserable. I could watch the one with Liam neeson in it every day. Seriously, it's coming to SF this summer on broadway and I'm saving up to go.
there is no way Emily would go for Bentley! At least let's hope...
T. Swift as Cosette, I saw that yesterday while I was flipping through US Weekly at the grocery store! I would love to see that.
all of these ombre hair pictures that have been swarming around Pinterest almost make me want brown hair. I love that honey color at the ends. You look great either way so it's a win-win!
so clever, these posts of yours! did you know that one day I want to be a cool as you? ;) I really love your bangs. I love bangs, period. but I understand the upkeep troubles. and les mis is incredible! can't wait!
Heyyyyy. Sounds like the January busy blues are lifting and all kinds of good news are brewing in your life! About YOU~ Love you with bangs~ they are playful and sassy~ and definitely frame you eyes. Long hair is elegant~ classy~ and timeless~ I say change it up! it's always fun and refreshing.
Mexico will be a blast. Ahh! Family and the beach! Great combo.
About Ellie!~ If she were here I would have her sing in front of all the Primary kids in our ward!!! Adorable! I have to tell you I am really proud of her and YOU for doing chores together. And the Disneyland jar is brilliant. Maybe I should make one for Mimi~
About Alice~ Nooooo!!!!! The little sweetie is on the cowntdown for nursery? Really? Well... spoken like someone who does not have to deal with a busy body at church! I just have to keep Dad's eyes open! Oh she will love Nursery!
About AI~ I loved that they started by showing promising voices~ way funner than jumping into the painful ones~ I think it looks like there are already some awesome possibilities! Mimi and I are the judges in this house! We seldom disagree.;) Loved the post! Sorry mine was so long! I will call you later. HUgs to the girlies and you and Mike. Besitos.
Oh man I would love to see T.Swift as Cosette! I also would love to see Emily as the bachelorette, and sadly I would even love to see Bentley on there because well, what is that show without a little drama? She better not pick him though! Oh and American Idol makes me tear up. I'm pathetic. This concludes my novel about tv/pop-culture.
P.S. Nursery can not come fast enough for these terrors and I mean that in the most loving way possible. :)
...and who told you distressed poodles weren't a pleasure to look at??
My dear friend, you're beautiful--no. matter. what.
I'm always a big fan of change, so I say grow the bangs out, and then cut them after that long-awaited Mexico trip is over. Then you won't have to worry about fussing over them!
Why are they bringing Emily back on the show? As much as I totally loved her, she got her chance on the show! What happened to she & Brad anyway??? And WHY is Bentley wanting to come back1?!Oh, thinking of him really makes me infuriated!
That cast of Les Mes characters sure sounds interesting!
And your girls are darling.
Have you ever watched Downton Abbey? I can't get over how much you look like Cora (the Mom) on that show. It's uncanny. You're both so beautiful. :)
I watch that crap, too... I love it. I don't know why, but I love it.
Just caught up with your blog posts and still love it! You have the cutest family!
