Taylor's new hair-do!

Taylor has great hair. It's not too thick, not too thin. It's super easy to work with.... as long as it's clean. She has had some of the cutest haircuts.... from bobs to layers to just long and straight. She's been wanting to keep it long this past year. So to change things up a little without cutting the length, we went for bangs! Here she is

She said to me afterwards, I feel like a different person. A big change for never having bangs before. She loves it and I LOVE it!!

It's like starting all over again!

The other day something happened and Steve said to me, you need to post it on our blog. Every time I think about our blog it makes me cringe to think about how I've neglected what was once the very thing I looked forward to doing everyday or so. So after trying several times to get back into it, I am trying again and hoping to stick with it.
Starting with the latest here.......... this summer we will be leaving this

Align Center
And will be trading it in for.....................



From Colorado to Florida!! Although I am overly excited to be back on the beach, this will be a tough move for several reasons! We will be so sad to leave the most amazing friends, awesome cadets, further away from family, great schools and ward and of course the Air Force Academy. Steve is taking a classified job at Eglin Air Force Base.
We will be in the panhandle, next to Destin/Ft Walton beaches.
Another adventure in the Hendricks' Family!
Now........ I just need someone to buy our house!!

Don't Faint!

It's not that I have given up on our family blog! You know the saying, if you don't want to do something any excuse will do. Well, that really isn't the case here. I used to be really good at posting when Steve was deployed and the nights were mine! That's when I would curl up on the couch, turn on the TV and type away. Steve has been on me for months (6 to be exact) along with other family and friends, to get back to blogging. I wasn't sure I could even remember my login info and password. But it opened on my first try and my blog is still up, so I am putting aside the overwhelming thoughts of where to begin and I'm just going to post something
(still not too sure where to start??)


The family! Of course, where else would I start, my life does revolve around them.
Here is the most recent fam pic from last weekend, don't be shocked we are at a football game.
College football has begun (not sure it ever ends in this house). But nonetheless, games are in full swing and the males in this house couldn't be happier.
Although you wouldn't know it by Mason's pouting
