Random February

 February was so crazy warm this year! Instead of having snow, it was warm enough that Princess got a little trampoline time at her aunt and uncle's house, without a coat. In February, in Utah! That's just nuts.

Just moments before getting a major hair whack. It was so long that I couldn't get it to all fit in the selfie.

Pretty sunrise.

I had the most amazing opportunity to attend the Build Your Blog conference this year. I wrote about it in more detail on my food blog, but I wanted to throw a picture here, too. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Meanwhile, my poor husband and my wonderful in-laws got to deal with some surprise sickness from my kids. Oops! Would you call that bad timing, or good timing?

And of course, what is better during times of sickness, than to have your dryer break right in the middle? At least I could get the clothes clean. The first night I realized it was broken, I asked the girls to please help by hanging the wet clothes over chairs and things all over the house to dry. I came upstairs a little while later and found these:

Princess took a super long time to get better from this round of sickness, so I finally caved and took her to the doctor, where she proved my longstanding suspicion that all it takes for a kid to get better is to drive to the doctor's office and drop a copay, then put up with the doctor thinking you are some kind of paranoid mom because there is nothing wrong with your kid. But if that's the price I have to pay to get the vomiting to stop, I'll pay it!

February was apparently the perfect month for haircuts!

And she looks exactly the same, hooray!

This was Princess's very first haircut ever, ever. Four years is definitely long enough to wait, but this momma still teared up a bit, and saved the little lock of sweet hair.
