Haircuts

I was so disappointed in the results (extremely short!) of the boys' last haircut that I have not wanted to go back! I even attempted to cut their sideburns and clean up their hair a little on my own to avoid such a short cut again! But finally Barrett requested that I take them in... So when I found out school was canceled for yet another unnecessary ice day, I knew it was the perfect chance!

LJ always does great during haircuts. He loves sitting in the car chair and watching his movie. When I mention going to get his haircut, he always says, "Yes! And I'll play with the trains!"... Because they have a Thomas the Train table there that he loves!

Before shots from the car...


Evan didn't seem very excited to sit down, so LJ went first- and did great!

Evan was so unhappy getting his haircut!! He cried for most of it :( we tried everything- movie, toys, even a lollipop! The stylist and I both sang songs to get a few moments of no tears - but nothing worked for long! Somehow or another we got through it- and it doesn't look too bad considering!!

LJ tried to cheer him up too! Such a sweet brother!


LJ insisted he give him the lollipop! He really wanted to help!

A few minutes of calm... Not long before it would start again though!

Oops- I put him down! How dare me!
And the results....
LJ holding Evans' lollipop (and sneaking licks in! Haha)

My happy boy is back! Whoa- that was rough!

I hope Evan does better next time! So strange because he has never been like that before (and has had a few other haircuts).... Maybe he remembers what they did last time!! Haha!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
