First Official Haircut!

Last week Brooks received two haircuts! The first attempt was at Honey's house in the tub. We trimmed the back of his hair and his bangs. But that made the rest of his hair look that much thicker and subsequently he looked like he was wearing a football helmet. So we needed to take him to a professional to get it tapered and evened out. So I took him to some random place next to the cleaners to get him all fixed up. We had an excellent experience! I gave Landyn the camera and she was in charge of pictures, which she did phenomenal! Brooks did not fuss at all while the lady was cutting his hair! She put some "styling products" in it and styled him all up! He was such a stud muffin!! I can't believe how much older it made him look!!

At home afterward.

You can't really see his hair because of the lighting, but he is striking a pose for you!

He was so calm while she worked on him! I was shocked!!

Before she thinned out the back. Look at how thick his hair looked! She said it looked like he had a hair piece on!!!!!

Don't Wine, 30 is Fine!!

Kim, Brian, Kathy, and Gordon gave me a present that came in a "little blue box"!! Landyn was even more excited than I was!!! She is a product of the village!! How many 4 year olds know what comes in a "little blue box"?????

Brooks was so good at dinner! Such a happy little boy!!

Love this picture!! Me and my beautiful children that I thank God for every single day! I could not ask for a better birthday present!!!!



I had a wonderful 30th birthday! We celebrated at Messina Hof which was amazing! If you have not been, I highly recommend it! The food was fabulous and we had an incredible wine tasting before hand. The afternoon/evening would have been perfect except for the fact that Patrick got a migraine and spend half of the time napping in the van. Bummer. So, we have no pictures of him! But that just gives me a good excuse to go back, because he missed out on the experience! :o)

Oh how I miss Destin!

I am finally posting pictures from our Annual Destin Vacation!! It was quite the experience this year. The day before we left I took Landyn into the doctor and found out that she had a double ear infection. So the first few days of the trip Landyn was not herself, but she improved and had a blast the rest of the trip. On day three of the trip, we received a phone call from our dog-watcher informing us that our house had been robbed. Total bummer! Then the night after that, we spent four hours in the emergency room with Brooks who had come developed an ear infection. Not fun. But despite all of the minor incidents, we had a great time with family and friends! These are a few of the pictures that we took. It is so hard to narrow them down to just a few!


Landyn and a friend she made on the beach.

Crazy Bed Head!!

I don't know what went on in Brooks' bed during the night, but this is what he woke up looking like!!! Landyn and I had a good laugh at his crazy hair this morning!!!

Happy Father's Day!!

We grilled steaks and made homemade icecream out a mom and dad's house for Father's Day. Yummy! I am so blessed to be married to such an amazing husband and father to our children!! And we are so blessed to have my dad close by so that Landyn and Brooks get to see their Biscuit every single day!! It was definitely a day to be celebrated!

Brooks' 9 Month Check-up

We visited Dr. Kastner today for Brooks' 9 month check-up. Everything looked great except for the mild ear infection!! Yikes! So we were given antibiotics! Bummer. Otherwise, Brooks is doing great! He is still working on getting that 7th tooth in! He has a whole mouth full of chompers! Still nursing well, although I talked to Dr. Kastner about maybe starting to wean him. He is eating all kinds of big boy food. You name it, he has probably had it and liked it! He is pulling up and cruising all over the place. There is not one square inch of our house that he has not explored! He is definitely all boy and is so different than what Landyn was like when she was little. We are so blessed to have him in our family!

9 Month Stats:

20 lbs. 10 oz. (50th %)
28 inches long (50th %)

Beating the Heat

Our neighbors gave us this cute little blow up pool that we put to good use yesterday. We have been going to swim at the Summit. But much to my disappointment, Brooks is not enjoying the swimming pool!! Yet, he loves bathtime and he did really well in the blow up pool. I don't know what it is about the big swimming pool that he does not like!! We are going to keep trying though! Especially since we leave in two weeks for Destin!!!! So I might be packing this little pool up and taking it with us to the beach! Haha!
