Did I Say 1 Haircut?

Before

After

Hallee has been asking me for a haircut for weeks but I wanted to get her 4 year old pictures done before I chopped it off. Well, we got pictures last week and so she has really been wanting a short haircut to her shoulders (that's what she told me). I took about 3 inches off and she loves it! Hallee went straight to her room and put on a princess dress when we were done. Jadyn saw the whole thing and thought she would get in on the action too. I gave her a little trim. She was so excited but so wiggly the whole time. I'm hoping the cut is straight but it is a good thing her hair is curly!

Can't You Tell?!?

We just gave Colt his first haircut. The first picture is the before and the second picture is the after. If you can't tell, he really needed a haircut. :) Actually, none of my kids seem to get the 'lots of hair gene' but Colt had about 20 hairs that were 2 inches long growing down the center of his head. So, Jason took the clippers and gave Colt a 3 on top and a 2 around the sides and back. Jason said he also had a mullet in the back that we had to clean up. You can see all the hair we cut in the sink. It wasn't much but it was really fun giving our little boy his very first haircut. (Look how happy that handsome boy is!)

What about Jadyn?

I noticed that I haven't written anything about Jadyn thus far so I thought I would. Jadyn is the most strong willed kid I know. She is so smart and she is her dad's best buddy. If you see Jadyn, she is probably wearing basketball clothes because she says she is a basketball player (which Jason and I would both love). On Saturday night we were taking a bath to get ready for Garth's blessing and I asked whose church we were going to the next day nd she replied, "Heavenly Father's Church." It was so cute.

Look at what I can do....

Just another update on Colt. Just in the last week or so Colt has cut in another tooth (now he has 5), he has started pulling up on things and walking the furniture, and (my favorite thing of all) he can say MAMA!!! It is always a race between Jason and I to see whose name he will say first and- I win!! He is so ambitious and growing up so fast! I think I have finally decided Colt's eyes are brown, like mine, so that makes me happy too! We love this little guy so much! (The first picture is Colt trying to master the stairs- he has climbed up 3 so far before being busted and the next picture is my first vinyl creation on our new machine.)

Two Wheels

Well, we have another big milestone in our family. Hallee can ride a bike with no training wheels! She is still a little topsy turvy, but she does great. Within a week she will be cruising (and then Jason and I can get a rest from spotting her up and down the street)! Hallee just turned 4 this month and it is amazing to see her learn new things!

The House

It has been requested that I post pictures of my house to my blog. Jason oversaw the building of our house and we moved in the last week in April so we have been here about 4 months. We are still working on a few projects and I still have a lot of decorating to do (like curtains!!) but we love it here. I did not include pictures of the garage, laundry room, bathrooms (besides the master bath), playroom, office, entry, or back padio and backyard. So, if you want to see the rest, come and see us!

These are my 2 princesses in front of our stair rail upstairs.

Colt can CRAWL!

Yes, it's true. Colt is on the move! He has been my most ambitious kid yet. I'm not even sure how it happened. One day he was rolling himself across the room and the next thing I know he is crawling- a full on crawl. I didn't want him to crawl this early (7 1/2 months) because I think every mother realizes once a baby gets moving, they never stop and they just get into trouble. But on the bright side, Colt is getting so much happier now that he can get himself where he wants to go and I love that. My baby is growing up too fast!
