First Haircut

Something had to be done with his hair.

I allowed the paci to go in to ease the trauma. Lucas sat without flinching at the clippers.





Tears started soon after she used scissors to clip around his forehead.



The final "do"




He likes it!

Halloween Preview

We will have Batgirl and Batman this year. Batman wouldn't be still enough to get a picture. They ran around the house, capes flying, while I hummed the Batman tune.

We're Still Here!

It's been awhile! I have no excuse except I haven't felt motivated to update the blog. We've been busy with school and "stuff", the kids have been healthy (except for the runny nose you see in the picture!), and life is normal.

Brent and I are celebrating 9 years of married life today. Rachael is coming to babysit tonight and we're going out for a kid-free dinner.

The weather is awful! Cold and rainy...we haven't seen the sun in days. On our wedding day, it was rainy like this. The sun came through around time for the ceremony then disappeared. It started raining again and rained for 2 weeks! The town of Apache suffered major flooding; many people's lives were in danger when the water rose so fast that they were trapped in their homes.

The kids and I have Fall Break Wed. Thur, and Fri. I'm having a garage sale Fri. to clear out the garage. Mom's coming to help with the kids. We plan to have an uneventful break and stay healthy!

Princess Lillian Turns 6!

Lillian's biggest birthday wish came true with the OSU win over Georgia (okay, maybe that was mom's wish but, either way, it came true!)

She had a great party with lots of friends and an inflatable moon bounce. We cooked hotdogs and had cupcakes. She chose Hannah Montana plates and napkins even though she has never watched Hannah Montana. She does like some songs by Miley Cyrus.

Aunt Sarah made her the tutu in this picture. She was proud to show it off in private but wasn't hip on wearing it in front of others.



At 6 years old, Lillian is growing up before our eyes! She measures around 50 1/2 inches and weighs around 55 lbs. She wears a size 1 1/2 shoe and size 7/8 clothes. She is starting to read in kindergarten and loves school. I can't believe how mature she acts but still likes Mommy to read her stories and tuck her in. She bravely rides the bus from my school to hers and back again everyday. It's interesting to watch her with other kids because she is a natural leader (read:BOSSY). Funny how even older kids do what she tells them! I think she will be a teacher one day. She is conscious of others' feelings and wants to please adults. She understands natural consequences and has been known to make big decisions. Happy Birthday, Lillian!







The chaos!








Not sure what happened- we just cleaned up the blood and life went on.

August Birthdays

A few weekends ago, we traveled to Missouri to celebrate 3 Young family birthdays. The party included a trip to a water park and lots of outside play. The weather was beautiful for August- not too hot, not too humid.

Brady- birthday boy turned 1
Uncle Smokey (Brian) somehow missed a picture but it was his birthday, too. Happy year older, everyone!
