Jared's adventure

Last night we were at my aunt and uncle's house and Jared fell down and hurt his wrist. It was kinda late so we couldn't really tell whether all the crying was from pain or from just being tired. He seemed to be ok, and it wasn't really swollen or anything, so we decided to go home and see how he felt in the morning. This morning he seemed to be ok, but he still wouldn't use his hand very much. I took him in to the doctor, expecting it to just be a sprain or something and he would just tell me to put some ice on it or something. Imagine my surprise when the doctor came back with the x-ray showing a fractured bone in his wrist! So, Jared gets to wear a cast for 3 weeks. It totally caught me off guard because he hasn't been crying or complaining about it very much at all. I would have thought that if something was broken, I would know for sure! I guess I was wrong. Anyway, Jared was very good during the whole thing. He was so brave. It helped that they kept shoving candy at him to keep him happy. :) Anyway, so far the cast doesn't seem to bother him, but we'll see how he feels by the end of the day when he realizes that it's not coming off!

Hair cut!

So, more than a month later, I finally had time to go and get my hair cut! It's been really busy lately. So, anyway, here's the final product. Let me know what you think!





The lighting must have been weird, because my hair is definately not red. I'm not really sure how I feel about the back, though. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the comments about my hair! I think I've decided to leave it longer, but add lots of layers. Now it's just a matter of finding the time to actually do it. I'll post pics once I do it. :)

So, on Saturday I get to go to the conference center for the relief society broadcast. I'm really excited! It should be really neat. So, for all those who are watching it, keep your eye out for me. Maybe if you're lucky you'll see a shot of me. Hey, there's only going to be 20,000 other people there. It could happen. :)

Should I cut it??

Ok. So I've been contemplating this decision for months now. Should I cut my hair or not?? I've been growing it our for about 4 years now from a very bad, very short haircut. It's been driving me crazy lately though! It takes forever to comb, especially when it's wet. It's annoying when I sleep, it's always getting in my way. I shed like crazy! I could go on. So, I'm thinking about cutting it. John doesn't want me to though. He likes long hair. My dilemma is that I'm terrified to cut it anyway, because I'm worried that I'll hate the new haircut and wish I hadn't. So, anyway, I told John I'd take a poll and see what everyone else thinks. Should I cut it? If so, how short? What style? Got any pics of good cuts? The thing is that my hair is really fine and limp. And I don't spend very much time on it, so it would have to be a quick and easy style. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Even if you're not bloggers, leave a comment!!

Random Pics

John was having fun with the camera today. We were all being silly and making funny faces. Here's a look into the crazy side of the Cowgills.

Duck Pond

Now that Joshua is at school Monday through Thursday mornings, I've been trying to have some good quality time with Jared. Last week we walked at the park a couple of days and afterward we played at the playground or fed the ducks. It's been a lot of fun just being alone with Jared. We haven't had very much alone time together! Anyway, here are some pics from the duck pond.

Karate

Joshua's been in a karate class since the beginning of July. He absolutely loves it!! It's so much fun to watch him. Normally, I just drop him off for class 2 days a week for 45 min. But at the beginning of each month is parent's week, where I can go and watch. Here's a picture from the last time I went. They were doing an obstacle course and I caught him at the finish line. He's the one all in black with the white belt.
