What Women Want Expo

This weekend all the Ewell girls (Chelsee is pretty much an Ewell girl) went to the What Women Want Expo in St. George. It was SO much fun!! We all found several really cute things, most of us ended up getting a hat and several of them got a bunch of jewelry. We also got tons of free stuff! It was awesome! We all ended up getting a colored hair extension put in and got glittery eyeliner on. I'm glad I waited to get my eyeliner done til the end of the day cuz it drove me crazy but it was fun anyways! Here our some pics of the day:

From left to right: Joslyn (red extension and goldish-pink eyeliner), Chelsee (blue extension and green eyeliner), Sheena (3 pink extensions and bronze eyeliner), Dixie (burgundy extension and dark blue eyeliner) and me (red extension and light blue eyeliner)

I picked this color cuz it looked pretty light in the jar and it looked like it had a little bit of green with the blue flecks, so I thought it would match the green of my shirt and the blue of my eyes... when she mixed it up it got WAY brighter! Mine ended up being the brightest of everyones and I was the one who really didn't necessarily want the eyeliner. So for those of you who don't know, I HATE glitter! I still haven't been able to get it all off a day later, I keep finding a couple stragglers that just won't come off! I've washed my face 3 times and scrubbed it with a rag! I think glitter is really pretty but I just hate how it gets stuck everywhere, I couldn't be the only one without glittery eyes when we went to dinner though.

So I have had red highlights in my hair before but never this red! I kind of like it though. When we were first getting them put in I thought it was just like a clip in one that you could take in and out as you wanted, but found out while getting it in that it's an actual extension so unless I go at it with pliers it's going to be there for a while! The best part is that I finally got blond highlights put back in my hair on Wednesday so I'm sure most people that see me are going to think I dyed the red streak since all the blond is new too!

Hunter is obsessed with watching Cars lately, so her he is with dad watching the movie. So cute! Yes he is in his PJ's this was right after breakfast today, and of course he already had shoes on!

You can't lay down anywhere near Hunter without him eventually climbing on you! Even if he's still watching the movie!

Good Vibrations

After all that work getting our internet up and running we ended up getting a virus on it last weekend... I'm thinking I must be sending bad vibes into the world right now or something. I went grocery shopping today and when I got home I only had a few minutes to drop off the groceries and change my clothes so that I could rush Hunter to the babysitter and me to work. And of course when I opened that back of our jeep one of the bags fell out and 2 of the bottles of gatorade broke open and emptied out onto the garage floor. Of course it just added to the oil footprint stains so I just left it and straddled the mess while I emptied the rest of the groceries into the house. Once they were all in the house and the fridge stuff put away I decided to give Hunter a gogurt since he hadn't eaten his lunch very well. He's getting so old he thinks he has to do everything on his own so he grabbed the gogurt from me and of course a big glob squirted onto his shirt. I was already frustrated about the gatorade so I kind of growled at him and it embarrassed him or something cuz then he like panicked and rubbed it into his shirt super fast! So then I had to change his shirt, but he did decide that it was ok to let me feed him the rest of the gogurt. Then after I dropped Hunter off I went to pull into work and I almost got hit by a car that was trying to pull onto the road I was pulling off of, luckily I reacted fast enough and hit my breaks (and just for the record I did have my blinker on!) Our compartment in the center consoles lid is broken so when I hit the breaks that fell forward and put me in neutral, and being in panic mode it took me a little bit to realize why it wasn't doing anything when I was pushing the gas, but I did figure it out in time to get out of the intersection so no other cars could try to hit me.

So I have decided that I must be sending bad vibes or something cuz disasters keep happening!! Today is the end though, I'm going to start sending good vibes everywhere so there will be awesome and exciting things to post about soon!!

I guess one really cute thing was that Hunter went pee on the toilet today! It was so cute, he happened to wander in while Ben was going to the bathroom and decided he wanted to try so started tugging on his diaper. We sat him on the toilet and he just looked at us like we were crazy. Then I remembered someone telling me to pour water on him, and it worked great. Hunter thought it was pretty cool and wanting me to pour more and and he kept trying really hard to push more out. It was so funny!! Leave it to my cute little monster to brighten my day!!

Here are some day brightening pics:

I came out of the bathroom from getting ready and Hunter had got up to the computer and managed to get a help screen up, ours doesn't have the paperclip, it has a dog... I'm sure you can tell he thought that dog was pretty cool, he even kissed him!

He has finally decided that some movies are really fun to watch (pretty much just Cars)... for about a half hour. And for some reason he has decided that it is really fun to cart his Bumbo around everywhere. Here he is watching Cars on our bed, he's a cowboy today!

He never liked this seat when he was a baby, but for some reason anytime he is in his room he turns the vibration and music on and has to sit in it for a few minutes. He totally doesn't fit we just have it here for somewhere to put it! Also those jammies are "THE" jammies, this is the middle of the day and he does have actual clothes on underneath but when I took his jammies of he had a come apart and wanted them back on, so I put them back on over his clothes hoping he would let me take them off later... Later finally came when it was night and Ben took them off right before dinner! He has since then pulled them out of the dirty clothes hamper and insisted on wearing them again! So funny! I just love him!

Oil

Oh wow... yesterday was fun....or not. Ben was gone with a friend so me and Hunter were just hanging out last night. I decided to make a frozen pizza for dinner, it's quick and easy and sadly enough I could totally eat frozen pizza every day! Hunter was getting kind of tired and grumpy so I opened the garage door and let him go out there and play, he has a thing with cars and could stay out there all day just trying to open the car doors. I was inside cleaning the kitchen counters which is just a few steps away from our garage door which I had open so I could hear him. I looked on the oven timer and there was about 2 min left so I decided I better get Hunter inside, I turn towards the garage and there he is just coming inside. When I see him I start laughing so hard cuz he has a bucket on his head and is running into the walls. My laughter stopped pretty quick when I took the bucket off his head and this is what I found:


Apparently Ben uses this bucket when changing the oil in the car, and last time he cleaned it out you can tell not all of it came out. Hunter was crying only because I was making him hold still for the pic, he didn't care at all the oil was all over him. I started to take his shirt off then of course had to take a quick picture, so sorry it's so fuzzy these were all on my phone since I was in a hurry to get him cleaned.


Here he is in the bath... now he finally was realizing that the oil was not so fun. I ended up having to use dish soap to really get it off of him, and by the end of the bath the water was brown.


Here is my tub afterwards. The toy phone ended up getting thrown away since it was so stinky. And I promise my tubs actual color is white. After his bath I just left him in his diaper and we went and ate our now cold pizza. While he was finishing his pizza I cleaned the tub to sparkling white again. But I could tell I hadn't gotten it all out of his hair, so after dinner he went in the bath again (by this time Ben had gotten home and gave him his second bath), which ended up leaving another brown ring around my tub... definitely not as bad as the first time though.


So I had cleaned up all his little greasy foot prints on my floor while he was eating, then this morning when we headed to church I noticed my wall where he had bumped into it. Luckily I have some good cleaner that took it off pretty easy.


I had originally thought that the bucket had been by the stairs into the house until I went to get into the car to go to church. Here our some cute little footprints (he had white socks on that are now brown.)


Following the trail of footprints I found where he had originally been with the oil. Notice he decided it needed to go on the wall too, probably similar thoughts were going through his head as when he decided to write on my walls with pen wall I was in the shower... in 4 different places.

This picture I had to put just to remind everyone of how cute and blond he really is. He looks so innocent... who would have every thought he had it in him.

Internet...is it really worth it???

We have finally gotten internet at our house! It has been a huge pain, first they came to set it up at the beginning of the month and we found out that for some odd reason when all our other electrical wires were run our one for internet wasn't. So Ben ended up having to dig a trench so they could come lay the wire... when the first guy came to lay the wire he apparently put in someone else's trench. I think he thought we were just building our house or something, we have a neighbor building a house right now so I'm guessing they probably got the wire in one of their trenches. Luckily when the other guy came to turn the connection on he had wire on his truck and laid it at the same time. After that we still couldn't get the internet to work inside... after me struggling to figure it out I finally sucked up my pride and called technical support. It turned out we bought the wrong kind of modem, which we can't find the receipt to so they won't let us return or exchange it...bummer! Last night we went and bought the right kind of modem.... and it still wouldn't work, so I ended up having to call technical support again! Which was a total waste of time, after being on the phone doing a bunch of stuff to my computer for 45 minutes the tech told me our computer was broken and I needed to take it in. His reasoning for it was that our IP address wasn't showing up, which I was really mad about because it had showed up the day before when we had the wrong modem, after 45 min I was too annoyed to argue so just said thanks and I would get it fixed. I was telling Ben about it and told him that I thought there was a problem with our ethernet connection cuz on the 1st modem I couldn't get it to work with that I had to do the USB. He of course stated the obvious solution... to hook the new one up with the USB. Since it didn't come with a USB cable I hadn't even noticed the new one had that option! So this morning I took the USB cable from the 1st modem and used it to hook up this one... and wouldn't you know it it worked!!!! So in the end after several hours of frustration and buying a $65.00 modem just to use the USB cable out of it's box since no one would take it back, we finally have internet! It better be worth it!! Now that we finally have internet at home I hope to keep this more up to date, I have some really cute pics of Hunter that I have been wanting to post, so look for those in the future... today I think I need a rest from the computer!
