Ayotte Family Weekend

Well,as you can see, I finally did it! Cam has been begging me forever to dye my hair dark and I finally got the guts to do it. It is darker than my natural color, but I would never have my natural color since it is ugly, mousy brown! I like it, but I am not sure I am convinced to stay this way forever and never go blond again.. we will just have to see, but it is a fun change!
Me and my sister, Kim. People thought we looked alike before, what do you think now?? This weekend when my family was here, they kept getting me and my sisters mixed up.
While my whole family was here we decided to get a family picture since we all weren't going to be together for awhile. My kids were horrible! Tag didn't want to wear the shirt he was supposed to and had a major meltdown, and Maddie just wouldn't sit still. This is probably the best shot, but at least we have a current picture of all of us.
Here I am with my sisters, mom, and sister in laws. It is so nice taking a picture without children and we are all pretty good at posing.. LOL!!
We had a great time with the whole family here. Jason and Claudia drove from California and the rest came down from up North. Tag had so much fun playing with Ada; he would wake up every morning and say, "I want to see Ada." We had a great time just hanging out and enjoying the beautiful weekend here in St. George. Thanks everyone for coming down. It is always so great to get everyone together!!

You can look good with anything you do! I completely love it! I am 30 and I still don't have enough guts to color my hair. Maybe when I am 40...

Great family shots! What good looking family!

Cute hair! I love it! So fun to have your family to visit. We drove by last weekend too, on our way home from Disneyland. I gave you a honk. Did you hear it?:) I had my purse with my cell phone and lots of money stolen...it was so much fun! I saw your dad at the gas station and he said you were all getting together. Looks like you had some good times. I love you hair. I have no guts to go darker, maybe someday!

Claudia and I decided that it really sucked saying goodbye this time! I'm sure Mom agrees! I can't wait for the day that we all end up living closer to each other. Preferrably in SL county;) I love your hair, and agree that you look great both ways! I say go dark for winter and go blond for summer! Although, I really don't know if Cam will let you go back! He's so funny! I love how in love with your dark hair he is! And btw, I hate our family pictures! I am bringing my bangs back next week because I decided that my forehead is ugly. Can I get retakes? Pretty please!! Kiss and cuddle your kiddies for me, huh?

OMIGOSH! I LOVE IT! I swear all of my friends are dying their hair dark and I want to too now! I seriously love the new do! You and Jamie are my inspiration! :) LOL! I love the picture of you and your fam. You are all so beautiful! I totally think that you can pull both looks off girl! I can't wait to see it in person. We need to totally hit the park soon :)

Yep, the dark hair totally works on you! There are some people who dye their hair and when you see them for the first time you are a bit shocked and have to get used to it...that did not happen with you. When I saw you with your new dark hair it was like it had always been dark. It looked so natural. And, yes, your eyes totally pop!

Allison said...

Wowza! LOVE LOVE LOVE the dark do! If I looked as good as you like that I would have a hard time going back to blonde, although you are a foxy blonde too ;) I agree, it is not fair to have that many good looking people in one family! It looks like you had a fabulous time with your fam, and Maddie is getting so grown up. Kim's a dork for hating on her picture, she is as gorgeous as ever, the stinker...

Jason and Tawni said...

I love your family pictures, they turned out great but you are right, the kids just weren't in the mood as you can tell. Oh well, atleast you have a current picture of everyone. I had a great time up at the cabin this weekend, it was fun to be with all the brunettes, now Tricia and Brooke just have to join in the fun!

anne said...

I do like the hair. It's nice to change it up every once in a while. Hey, if you guys ever do a girls night or something I would love to come. Stampin' Up was so fun with all you guys. I miss it.

Ricki said...

No wonder your dad was so confused all weekend! You guys could be triplets! I am sure your mom is glad she still has your blonde sister-in-law with all that dark hair in the family! You do look dang cute, though!

Donny and Colleen said...

We did have such a great weekend and I agree with everyone, as if you couldn't tell, saying good-bye was very difficult. I'm thinking this is a learning and growing experience but let's be honest, I'm struggling with it..It was so good to have all the kiddies play so cute together while we just hung out and enjoyed the visit. Dad had so much fun playing tennis with the boys!I took a peek at your family picture. Tag and Maddie looked so relaxed compared to our family picture.Where did we go wrong? Anyhoo, dang cute picture of you all! Can't wait to get one. I was so excited about you getting your hair done that I totally forgot about mine. I'm like Kim, can we have retakes. Actually I asked Claudia to use her program and give me some highlights to cover the gray. Maybe she can give Kim bangs. JK I'm really glad to have a complete pic of us all. The best family ever!!Thanks for having us over!
