First Hair Cut....s

For a few months now we have been talking about cutting Kyri's hair. When we asked her when she wanted to cut it she said "September 19th" (her birthday) and she stuck with that date for months. However, Gary has been bugging me to cut Gray's hair for a few weeks now. I told him we should wait because I wanted them to both get their first hair cut together....isn't that cute? Well, yesterday I was going to cut Gary's hair and we decided it sure would be easy to just cut everyone's hair. We asked Kyri if it was OK and she was SO excited. So much so that she got to be the first client.

Before

I was nervous to cut off the really blond ends! Gary and I were both blond when we were little and look at us now!! But it needed to be done!

After

I haven't taken a picture with it styled yet, but I will soon.

Before

It was hard to get Gray's hair to NOT look like this in the back...even when I put gel and hairspray in it! It was time....

After

Much better....if only there wasn't little hairs all over on his face!!

(I am now realizing that I clearly should have cropped this picture...a mess AND Gary's nose....fabulous!)

Bye-bye precious locks!!

Which swatch of hair belongs to which child?

I guess the color of rubber band does give it away a bit!

All in all it was a great hair cutting day! I even cut my hair! And the kids both held SO still. Not a nightmare like I've been imagining for years. (phew)

Good Bye Summer

This summer has been insanely busy!! I have hundreds of pictures I need to blog about, but for some reason that seemed slightly overwhelming. So, instead I picked a few recent photos in hopes that I will get re-motivated to blog again and hopefully many of those pictures are on their way.

First, a sneak peak at our house. We still have to put things on the walls so I'm only posting one picture

The Kitchen

I LOVE my kitchen!!!

If any of you ever went to our old house you can see why I love this kitchen SOOOO much!

In fact, I love love LOVE our entire house!!

3 years of patience in a 700 sq ft place finally paid off :)

One Sunday afternoon Kyri decided she wanted to do Daddy's hair. Of course Gray didn't want to be left out, so we did them both up.

And who could resist a kiss from either of these when they look so strikingly good-looking?!?!

(Now whenever I tell Kyri it's time to do her hair Gray gets REAL excited and I always have to do his first. And when I'm done he runs his fingers through his hair, in search of a rubber band....even though this was a one and only time for that!)

9:00 Church is just too much for a little man who needs his morning beauty rest

Chocolate Pudding....

Everyday I choose my battles.

This day I was not about to put up a fight to spoon feed him.

He was very happy with my choice.

Playing Dress Up

We have been having SO much FUN with family and friends and are actually a little sad that summer is coming to an end. Saying good-bye to summer means saying hello to school. Gary started this week. But on the more positive side of school: Kyri will be starting Joy School next week! I am SO excited for her to have this socialization with other kids in our neighborhood. More to come on that, I'm sure!

And stay tuned!!

I mean, you never know when I'm going to hit a big blogging streak :)
