Family Reunion

This past weekend we had my Bridges Family Reunion. It was a very full, fun, and tiring weekend. My parents flew in on Friday, after having changed flights due to a canceled flight they were expecting to take. Friday night the girls went to a double wedding shower for my cousin Ashleigh and soon to be cousin, Lauren. It was a lot of fun, and Livvy really enjoyed body-slamming the huge presents. Then Saturday we spent the day at Lagoon. We had lots of fun spending time together out in the hot hot sun. Livvy really enjoyed playing in the water. She also got to go on some rides by herself!









On Sunday we drove by the new house and then went to Monica and Jon's for dinner and Wii fun.

Walls

We went to look at the house last Friday and we had walls. They finished the foundation and framing the main floor. Here are a couple of pictures.












Every night when Marcus gets home Livvy likes to help him put his shoes away. The other day she decided she wanted to wear them first. Here is a little video of her walking around in his shoes. (It's a little dark, sorry.)

Haircut

Any one who has seen a picture of Livvy recently has I'm sure noticed her rag-a-muffin hair. She has very nice long hair, but she rarely lets me pull it back (so I have to pick and choose my battles) and she often has bangs covering her face.



This past Saturday I decided I would do something about it. Now, I don't cut hair really. I cut Marcus' hair, but his is easy. So I was a little nervous about tackling this "adventure." Not to mention that my first "subject" was a less then still toddler who would want to see what I was doing the whole time. With M&M's in my pocket (as random bribes to keep her occupied) I dove into it. I didn't cut off an ear, or have any quick turns resulting in catastrophic snips from my scissors (such as racing stripes.) Anyway, I think it turned out fairly well. We can see her again.


This first picture is from right after, and she is telling me she wants more. My guess is more M&M's rather than hair cuts.

Rock Band

This past week AJ bought Rock Band after waiting months for it to be released for the Wii. We all were a little concerned about his "love" of the game. However, after playing it a few times, I can say, it is fairly addicting. You can have 1 - 4 players doing any or all of the following; playing drums, playing guitar, playing bass, or singing. You follow along on a bar with your "notes" and try to hit them at the right time. Some of the songs are awesome ones that we all know, and some are ones we have never heard of and are a little strange. It is lots of fun though. Livvy even enjoyed helping me sing, for a few minutes till she moved on to something else.



On the way to AJ and Jessi's I made Marcus stop by the house so we could get pictures of the hole. I want pictures of the whole process. Yes, I know I'm bizarre.
