"The recipe for [true] beauty is to have less illusion and more soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony." --Mary Baker Eddy

Called to serve!

Jessie has been called to serve in the Texas Houston East mission! Hoorah for Israel! So, we gave her a sassy sister missionary haircut just for the occasion. We must have cut off close to 7 inches--it was so fun! She's lookin' pretty smokin' hot--hopefully she's not too much of a distraction to the elders!

E.B. story

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car. The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is DEAD. The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.

A beautiful blond woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit the
Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM."

The blond says,"Don't worry."

She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead
Easter Bunny; bends down, and sprays the contents onto him. The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away he stops, turns around, and waves again. He hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves...hops another ten feet, turns and waves...and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on the Easter Bunny?" The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

It says...

Hair Spray
Restores life to dead hair,
and adds permanent wave!


HAPPY EASTER!

Spring fever! Do you have it?

MJ wanted to spice up her "do" a little for spring! I get the same itch when spring rolls around--a little more blond always helps to cure it! She is growing her hair out, but we gave her a slight trim too. It kinda needed it--the last haircut she got was almost a year ago (she's a rule breaker). So here you have the before and after.

In loving memory

This earth angel is my beloved friend Connie. She recently returned home to our Heavenly Father. This photo was taken the last time I saw her--we gave her a perm--it was stinky, but fantastic! I love and miss her dearly. Connie's health had suffered for awhile, so I believe she is likely very happy in heaven.

Brigham has a mohawk!

{my nephew Cy and step-dad Keith}

A few days ago I met Brigham Young...in the flesh! Did you know he has a mohawk? I didn't.
Plus, he is an expert at the Virginia Reel. He came out to dance with his classmates for all the families in attendance, minus the hat and beard and donning the mohawk--a pretty edgy and radical Brigham. I loved it!
