Havin' fun

So we get pretty board around our house and needed something fun to do. I decided I would dye my hair, Rae helped me pick out the color. I found it is very heard to dye your own hair, especially when its practically down to you booty! It turned out okay!! When Rae was with me she had asked if she thought her Daddy would let her dye her hair......he said yes!!! Only as long as it was a normal/natural hair color.

So here is the before.

And the after!

She was so super excited and it was so much fun to do it for her. I love having Daughters!!

It's just about the same color as her Grandma Erickson's, without the gray! ;)

Update on Jesse: He likes his job okay but it is super tiring. He said it is cold but he's been getting sunburned at the same time. I swear his neck and arms are purple! His brother Wesley got on as a Iron worker, at the same Mine, so they ride up to work together. He tries to come home on weekends to visit but we are gonna go to every other weekend now..... :(

We have decided to wait out the school year so we can get some bills paid off and other thing squared away. So it's looking like the 24th of May is the last day of school, here's to hoping the next 12 weeks go by as fast as possible!!

This is Rae playing in Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival. First is Scarborough Fair, then Burst. I thought they did very good for being beginners. She is 4th from the left, front row, playing the Viola!

Jesse's Job

As some of you know Jesse got a job. He is working at The Molycorp Mine in Mountain Pass California. It is about 60 miles south of Las Vegas. Here is some info about the mine he is working on.

He wont be working IN the mine, he will be constructing building's around it. First he is working on the Water Treatment Plant as a Carpenter. He is going to have some crazy hours, it will be changing depending on how quickly they want things done. So right now its 6~10 hour days Sunday off. Then it will be 13~10 hour days and 1 day off. Crazy!!!

He is super excited to be starting something new and even more happy to be moving out of Utah!! One thing I am NOT happy about( other then the obvious of him being there & me being here) He is working at a mine!!! They have to be fitted with a "gas mask" in case they hit something "dangerous". The mask has to have full skin contact, which means..........no facial hair!!!!!!!! This makes me so sad, I have never seen the man without it, it will take some getting use to for sure!

So the rest of us are hoping to be down there sometime in March. I can hardly wait. After 3 years of having him around ALL the time. It will be very hard to not get to see him til March!!

So, hope all the rest of you are doing great!
