I finally did it!

I chopped Brayden's hair off! I have trimmed his hair a couple times, but never this drastic. I feel like it is the last part of his babyhood. It was always looking so shaggy and frizzy. Now he looks like a little boy! He even can get the little mohawk thing going, it seems to do it naturally because of the way his hair is on his crown.

Emmas Big Change

Emma has been asking me for a few weeks to get her hair cut. So today we did it! About 2 years ago, we also cut her hair short and donated it to Locks of Love and she was ready to do it again. Sorry the first pictures are small, I forgot my camera so we had to use Aaron's cell phone.

She cut off about 11 inches!


AFTER



I love her hair short and it will be great for summer. We will send her hair in to Locks of Love again, maybe this time I won't take 6 months to send it off! Now about the time she hits 5th grade it should be long again and she will probably want to keep it long for middle school??

Dallin is 11!

Happy Birthday Dallin!

You are such an awesome kid! You have the best sense of humor and you are so kind and caring to all those around you. You are the best big brother Ashton and Brayden could have. I am so proud of you for all your accomplishments in school and church. We love you Dallin, Happy Birthday!

Potty Training Time

Sorry Brayden about the bum shot but I love that little tooshie!!!!

I have started the next dreaded step in Braydens young life, potty training. I tried to do it while the big kids were on spring break but after 3 days of that I decided it would be better to do it after they went back to school. So this past week the challenge began. You would think that I've done this 4 other times piece of cake right! I am so lazy this time! All my other kids were trained within a week of their 2nd birthday. I didn't think he would ever get it, however, I am pleased to say he is doing awesome. He has been in big boy undies for 5 days now and has only had 3 accidents. We are even going out and about in his undies. It just finally clicked in his head. He is even taking his naps in underwear and has had no accidents. I am still too afraid to cut out the diapers at night, but he has been dry for the last 2 mornings! I would say he is about 90% potty trained, the last 10% being #2 in the potty, still working on that! Way to go Brayden! My baby is not a baby anymore

Happy Birthday to ME

This picture is one of my favorites of Aaron and I when we went on our cruise for my 29th birthday. Fast forward 3 years and I am celebrating my 32nd birthday today. I still don't feel that old. I remember when I was first married(at 18, such a baby!) thinking 30 seemed so far away and OLD. I don't have big plans, just a regular day for the most part.

I am grateful for my family and everyone in my life that brings me joy and friendship! I have a wonderful family that loves and cares for me. And I have great friends that think of me often. I love having Girls Night Out to be able to rejuvenate myself and be a better mom and wife, thanks Girls!!

So with nothing else to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
