Fun Hair

I absolutely LOVED how ALL of these hairstyles looked on the girls! Sammies was really easy took me like 3 minutes i added these clippies in it. the original do has none i think i got it off of hairforaprincess blog..sorry blogger has issues with letting me put a link on here! anyway you can get to the blog from girlydos.

I was REALLY excited about this hairstyle off of jenns blog..girlydos..i love it/...i was surprised it worked on short hair i had sooo many compliments! thank you jenn!!!

i got this idea off of a short hair blog i am not sure which one it was one of babesinhairland sidebar links...aubrey LOVES it and it was sooo easy not very many elastics so she was happy! i tied a bow at the top instead of have in the messy buns..

this was the balloon that was made for Parker at the utah state fair..which i LOVE i enjoy seeing what cool inventions people have,,it was pretty much the same stuff this year...although we finally signed up to get all of the church DVDs for the BOM and NEW& OLD testament...those darn sells people!:) I KNOW I KNOW it is NOT halloween yet but it is by far my most favorite holiday so me and the girls got all the decorations out and of course costumes, and the house is officially scary...except the outside i will spare all my new neighbors with my decs till oct 1st well maybe sept 30th ..teehee!

here is a REALLY cute pic of my niece Tegan. she is my sister Arianes youngest. i think she was trying to do her "duty" so we had to get a quick shot! BTW my sis has FINALLY started a blog! i am sooo excited she is the one that we were suppose to build right next to each other, now we will be just down the road as soon as her house sells! AND of course the cutest stud in the whole world, Parker HAS to get himself dressed now that he goes to school! even for church.....he BTW is LOVING school and has made a few friends! i am sooo proud of you Parker!
i wanted to show everyone how much hair Haven has now! i could not believe i could do 2 french braids! my baby is not even 2!!!!

Mavala Stop

So most of you all know that my youngest 3 have been avid thumb suckers...well i tried putting socks on Parkers hand which made him stop for 1 month then i have tried that stuff that you put on there thumbs, i think it is called thumbs-it..i have tried putting hot sauce on it..all of which he was able to wash off or suck off. we then spent 350$ big ones to put a contraption in his mouth that would make him stop and ..it did.....so on to Aubrey...well i have not been to worried over her cause she was not 24/7 so it has not been a big deal she has a REALLY bad cross bite so the dentist is going to put in a contraption for that anyway which would also fix the thumbsucking but of course that is 350$ and she might have to be older before insurance will cover the 850$ portion so ANYWAY my SIL jenn used this stuff awhile ago on her kids, told me about it , encouraged me to use it and i never did!...well the other day we were at her house and she was talking to Matt and they decided to put it on my girls fingers which i said PLEASE do because Aubrey BITES her nails now and it is sooo disgusting cause she does her toes sometimes too....anyway this stuff does NOT come off no matter how much they suck on it which they put it in their mouths once and it stays in there for like 5 -10 minutes! it is disgusting it made Haven throw up cause it activated her gag reflux! and aubrey cried for 30 minutes till i got her some juice......so i tried to wash it off for them because we were going camping yesterday and i did not want them all sad and it made me sad too! this stuff did NOT come off!!

while we were camping we used wipes alot too and of course it did NOT come off:) they went to bed with NO thumbs and of course every once in a while would forget and get some in there mouths which they would just spit and slobber for the next 10 minutes!! we got home today, gave them a bath and of course it is STILL on!

so in short i am SOLD this stuff cures it ~ they have gone half a day yesterday and all day today with no fingers in their mouths and i will be ordering this stuff online tomorrow..~~~~BTW i tried this stuff and it is DISGUSTING i think it tastes like pennies or something i cant quit figure it out but it stays on your tongue forever and is just plain BAD!

the girls are fine and on their way to a Spit thumb free world!!!! WAHOO!!

THANK YOU JEN!!!

i wish i would have video taped her yesterday she sounded HORRIBLE anyway this is aubrey singing one of her very famous songs. push pause at the bottom of my blog to hear her..

AH THE LOVE OF CANDY!

So it was another great day today for us Ballards!
parker of course did not want to go to school but of course went and made his bed so he could get the tootsie roll, and off to school so he could eat it when he got home..
i am tellin you guys it is really a great way to get them to make a bed AND go to school..it works for me and they only get it on school days....
so aubrey sounds like a little boy today poor thing! she had the croup the worst and it is catching up to her. it is really hilarious to hear her laugh or even cry:)
** i need some suggestions on something that might not affect everyone***

aubrey has decided she does not want to poop! she is almost 4 well in feb she will be and has been potty trained since she turned 3 and now she has reverted to diapers... she will go pee in the potty but refuses to poop she says it will hurt and tries to hold it. so like every 3 hours she gets some on her undies! i am sooo sick of rinsing undies in the toilet!! she will finally go like 7 days of trying to hold it screams bloody murder when she finally pushes it out accidentally...i am really scared and sad for her and decided to get an enema last night ............well....... i felt really bad giving it to her but it made those 2 BIG buggers come out but really fast! so i am not sure how i feel about those things so any ideas from you guys would help cause i am NOT going to buy diapers for her again but yet i am soooo sick of buying underwear!
i have tried the eating a TON of fruit, juice and buying the cutest underwear she just cant seem to go!! any ideas let me know.....

Matt is yet again in Moab on a "business trip" LOL...i love that he calls it that when he goes to just have fun...although sometimes he is stuck fixing peoples jeeps and buggies that they built...anyway so i am left alone for the holiday with a house full of sick kids along with myself so we are going to be a lot of lazy people this weekend ! i hope everyone has a happy holiday!!!
