New Do

This was not the first time Ellie cut her own hair (you’d think I would have learned my lesson), but it was the first time the cut was extreme enough to send her to the professionals.

This is all the hair I found.  I can’t imagine where the rest of it is hiding.

The result:

Luckily the end result is very cute.  I knew she needed a haircut, so this was the perfect excuse.

This is the face I usually get when I pull out the camera:

Then we got a game of peek-a-boo going, so I captured this:

Ellie loves her new hairdo.  Maybe now she will stay away from the scissors.

Ellie is 3 !!

Ellie is our little performer.  She thinks she is a ballerina.  This was taken on the morning of her birthday.  She was practicing her moves on the driveway.

Hiding

 Hide and seek is one of our favorite games.  Where could Jack be?

Curly Locks

Believe it or not, this boy has had a haircut since I last wrote about it.  I can’t bear to cut all those curls off!

Can you find her?

I heard a boom in the middle of the night and then a little whimpering.  I figured Ellie fell out of her bed, but though she would get back in.  This is where we found her this morning.

Sleeping in the camper

We took off a few weeks ago for a quick family adventure in the camper.  Actually, it was a little more than a family adventure.  We had 4 adults, 2 kids, and 1 big yellow dog in that thing.  We spent two nights in Moab.  The first one didn’t go so well, but luckily the second night was much better.  Here are a few photos from our trip.

It’s Time

I love Jack’s crazy, curly locks, but his hair was getting just a bit too long.  Strangers were already mistaking him for a girl.  I didn’t want it to get to the point where he was mistaken for Celine Dion’s son.  His dad didn’t think he needed a haircut.  This is what I did to prove that he did.  Sorry, little buddy.

This was taken the same day….after the ponies.

Life Lessons

This life lesson involves going tinkle in the great outdoors.  Dad was giving Ellie some tips.

Next up…

I have mentioned before that Jack wants to do what Ellie does.  Using the potty is no exception.  He has been successful on a few occasions, but not consistent yet.  That’s OK.  He’s not even 18 months old yet!

april 2

All these photos were taken on April 2.  That’s pretty much all they have in common.  It has been a while since I shared with you, so here you go.

First, we went outside to play in the snow.  We have had a crazy winter.  Tons of snow, then it all melts, then tons of snow, melts, etc.

Then we came inside.  Ellie was eating cereal and somehow ended up with cornflake boogies.

Later, Dad came home with a new pair of shades for Jack.  Stylin’!

I will try to be better about posting.  So much to do.  So little time.
