Hey friends....

Guess WHAT!!

Yup, 20 weeks along!!

Hair Cut

Ok now I am somewhat caught up.

Well, Katie and I have been talking for a couple of weeks now about her hair being a problem. Its always in knots, it hurts to brush it because of the knots. If its not braided everyday its in knots, always in her food, static, and on and on! So we looked into where we could donate her hair. I have always done locks of love but then found out they charge cancer patients for the wigs. But my sister knew of a company that gives the cancer patients the wigs for free. So I found out from here what company it was and it is Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Sold. And they only require a minimum of 8 inches. Not 10. So we got Katie's hair washed and freshly clean, tied it in a rubber band. I measured and said we could do 10 or go down to 8 and Katie chose 10.

Please pardon the unsightly background. Its just where we did the cutting so Katie could watch.

Leo became my photographer for the cutting. He's not so good with making sure it's focused.

And WHOPPIN' 11 INCHES!!!!

So this profile of hers LOOKS JUST LIKE ME AS A KID!!!!

Holding her hair.

After all is said and done and all evened up.

She looks nine now... and that's less than a month away!

She has been thrilled about it all day!! She carried a little brush around the house, all day...

This could have been a better picture (below) if I were a better photographer. I wanted to capture what she looked like from where I was sitting because she just looked so darn cute, but I had to zoom in. So picture quality is awful. So I got up to take the picture close and something about it had changed when I moved closer. I didn't know what it was till just a few min. ago.

When I got closer she had shoved her hair behind her ears and it totally changed the look altogether.

SEE WHAT I MEAN!!

But she is adorable and she loves it!! And I love that she loves it. I guess since I never got a chance to have long hair like her as a kid I didn't ever like my hair if it was above my shoulders after a cut. 

She even moves her head differently now.

Its fun to watch.

Christmas 2012

I know I let down all my fans... yeah ok. This year I was just too much into other things (like not feeling the best) to post our Christmas Eve activities. It was a bit more laid back but still way fun with the cousins!

My brother doing his cross fit training a few days after the blizzard hit.

My ADORABLE little nephew!

The father of said ADORABLE little nephew.

Girls decorating cookies. 

(And she usually doesn't like her picture taken)

Adorable little nephew decorating cookies!!

My Mom and I bought the PJ's on different days and I didn't know she had bought the baby the same kind until after I decided to get them for Simon. It was way cute. Leo wanted to know why he didn't get matching ones.

The gang. I was a little late taking the picture after my Sister-in-law and they were ready to move.

Katie was thrilled Santa brought her a Furby!

Nephew was way more interested in Simon's R/C car!

New games for the boys... might I add nice distraction for them so I can get a few more min. of shut eye.

Do you know why kids love cuties?

Because they make kids smile. Simon had like 7 in one day. And yes they are way easy to peel. They will be a permanent in our home!

I sort of tried to keep him awake but he was SOOOO tired.

She took him from me sleeping. It was the only time he let Grandma hold him willingly!! She was thrilled to finally get a little snuggle time in.

Our Halloween

I know this is late but I have to post it because it is was cute!!

My adorable superman didn't want to leave his shirt unbuttoned because then people would know who he was. My sill boy!!

I think this was the first year Hugh was more willing (wanting) to get into the fun.
