I'M SORRY FOR ANY TYPOS IN MY POSTS...USUALLY, I'M TYPING WITH A BABY IN ONE ARM

Was it Time for a Haircut?

After seeing Aaron with his hair "fluffed up" in the last post, I thought to myself, "Is it time for a haircut?" I didn't worry about it too much because I really like his curls. (When they are fixed correctly and not just out of bed.) A few days have passed and last night, I jokingly asked Daniel if Aaron needed a haircut. I expected a jokingly answer. No laughing, joking, etc. His answer.... YES! I knew I had let it go for too long. He was embarrased that his some had "girly" hair. Well...I got out my scissors and comb and went to work. Hair was flying everywhere and what looked like a small lap dog was on the floor under his chair when all was done. Giving Aaron haircuts has never been an easy task. He, like most little boys, likes to fidgit, shift positions, and turn his head to talk to momma every couple of seconds. It used to take me about 45 minutes to get his hair in any decent form of a haircut, but last night it only took about 20. I was proud. I'm going to have to get used to it but I like it. Daddy says that now he has a real "big boy" haircut. (The curls will grow back to those of you wondering....we've cut them 4-5 times already) You can see from the pictures, his beautiful hearing devices are very prominant with his new "do". Enjoy!

Today's PLASCECTOMY!!!!

Today, I cut up 4 credit cards!!! (a plascectomy for those of you not familiar with Dave Ramsey) Yeah!!! I'm so excited. Daniel and I also filed our taxes tonight, so I'm feeling very relieved and stress free in the financial world. The boys are in the bed but we had such a good time playing in the bathtub tonight. They are so funny interacting with each other. The photos I'm posting are from their playtime and the one of Aaron puts me in mind of the time Grandma put rods in Daniel's hair because he wanted a "perm" too. It's amazing how curly Aaron's hair is. It's a shame for a boy to have such pretty hair. Joshua's hair is as straight as a board. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Our New Stroller

I feel so blessed that we live in a town/neighborhood where it is still safe to play outside with the boys. May people take that for granted. My mom and dad gave the boys a new stroller for Christmas this last year. I absolutely love it. It is so much easier to push than our old one and it's a lot smoother ride for the boys. We like to walk whenever the weather permits. Aaron especially likes to walk by the duck pond. (One time a goose chased us!) I am amazed at how the neighborhood is such a wonderful "classroom" for him. He doesn't miss a thing. (Joshua is usually asleep by the time we reach two or three blocks over.)

Joshua's New Activities

Joshua has grown so much in the last few weeks. He is now crawling like a mad man, following Aaron around, and eating all kinds of new foods! Joshua also will no longer stay on his bathtub seat. He insists that he can play in the tub like brother. When they play together, I might as well plan on mopping the floor. It makes me nervous sometimes. This week, he started "talking" more. He says "BaBa" which is what Aaron calls Cindy. I guess I'll let her think that he's saying her name....He's really saying "MAMA"!!! Aaron said "Daddy" long before he ever said "Momma" so I'm claiming this as my turn to be first.

Snow in Blue Mountain

It snowed in Blue Mountain this week. Aaron had never seen snow before. I wish there had been more for him to see, but he got the general idea. He was very disappointed when it disappeared.

Our Boys

Many of you have not seen updated pictures of our boys. Aaron is now 2 years and 4 months old. Joshua will be 8 months old on the 21st. I would have never believed that brothers could be so different. Aaron weighs 26 lbs. and Joshua is up to 19.6 lbs. Aaron better watch out! Joshua is already tackling him for his snacks. Both boys are very loving and are fun to be around.
