Kiki and her mom came for a visit today. It was so nice and relaxed, they got to meet Riley, Michele and Clint's Grandma, and we just kinda vegged and hung out all day. Well, kinda. We took a trek to Wal-Mart and tortured the girls... Yeeeeeah, we pierced their ears. I was SO nervous and scared the whole time, I almost changed my mind! I was about to cry (those of you who really know me realize this isn't a surprise! I HATE needles and I HATE watching my babies cry!), and Kiki and Mich were making so much fun of me! "You're about to cry!" they teased. "You're more upset than they are!" they said. "Just calm down, it'll be ok, they probably won't even cry!" they told me... Ready for the irony? I was so brave and THEY both cried! :0) Glad I waited to do this with them so now they can't make fun of me! :0) But off us, how did the girls do? Um, they cried too. Madi tried SO hard to not show how upset she was, she covered her mouth and the tears slid down her cheeks until I squeezed her (she was already on my lap) and told her it was ok to cry. Then she let it all out, poor kid! I won't put any of the crying pics on here, cuz looking at them is making me cry, and I'm so nice I don't want to do that to you, my dear reader. Then it was Keahi's turn. Mich held her cuz I was comforting Madi and Kiki was taking pics. I'm not sure what part of "on three" one of the ladies didn't understand, cuz she went on four. PLUS she didn't push it through all the way and it came out of the gun so she had to push it through the rest of the way by hand! (Kiki was balling her fist, ready to throw punches!) Poor baby screamed for about 30 seconds then whimpered for another 30 and was done. But when she started screaming, Madi kicked it up a notch. SO... we had two wailing kids and lots of people looking at us like we had just committed a crime. Good thing Keahi won't remember this by next week cuz she certainly got the short end of the stick on this one. Fast forward 2 minutes - both girls are fine and happy, "Mom! They don't hurt, they're just pretty!", Kiki and Mich are still teary eyed and I'm thankful the whole thing is over and ready for that ice cream I promised Madi! Both Madi and Keahi slept just fine and woke up not even noticing the holes in their heads. I'm glad we did it, they look SO DANG CUTE with their sparkly heads, but really hope I don't have to do it again!!! :0) (Of course, that doesn't mean we'll say no to another girl, I'll just make Clint go next time!!) ;0)

Good job posting already! What I can see of their ears, they look cute! That is a sad story though, I don't think I could do that!
How fun! I did Rachel's when she was 2 months old... Andy won't let me do Rebecca's until she can ask for them! I don't see what the big deal is, but he's being stubborn about it. I bet Madi loves them now that the pain is over with!
I won't even get my -own- ears pierced! You're super brave. :) I'm sure they're adorable.
How fun. I love earings on little girls there so cute. I was way nervous to do Carly's but all she did was flinch I was way surprised. Both girls are way adorable
I was the same way I went over there to get my girls done well I backed out and went to check out. after I checked our my hubby said if you want it done go do it. so we did. she cried a lot but she was also tired. so she went right to sleep and forgot about it.
I totally understand how you felt. The lady that did Amalee's ears asked me if I needed to sit down cause she said I was all white and looked like I was going to pass out. Amalee on the other hand was fine after just a couple seconds.
