Happy Birthday Dad!!! (and Rachel's little surprise!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!!! We LOVE you! I am in St. George on my sister's computer, so I can't post any pictures of the best Dad and Husband in the whole world! But today is his 34th birthday. He is in Provo with Tommy for a Father/Sons basketball camp at BYU. I'm sad that we don't get to be with him on his birthday to celebrate, but I know he's having a great time with Tommy.

Since Mark and Tommy were going to be gone this weekend, I decided to take the other kids up to St. George for a few days. We are staying with my sister Sandy. Chances are, when you visit Sandy, you come home with a different haircut or color. She does hair and is very good at it! Rachel has had the bug to get her hair cut lately so tonight she asked Sandy to cut it. Here is a before picture...
Then Sandy started cutting...And her cousins Taliya and Tierzah helped :)Aunt Sandy and Tiana styled it...
AND HERE SHE IS NOW!!! Rachel and her new haircut!!

She LOVES it!! Thanks Aunt Sandy! The only thing I don't love is Rachel now looks 5 years older!

Maria, I think you're going to be busy keeping the boys away before you know it...Rachel looks beautiful and way older. It's so fun to get a new hair cut. I hope you guys had a good trip.
