Braeden's 2nd "Real" Haircut

Over the weekend, I took Braeden to a salon called Lil' Clippers (on 82nd) to get his 2nd real haircut. Darren has given him a few since his 1st haircut, but we figured he was big enough to sit still long enough, so I took him and boy did he need it. The place is adorable and is comparably priced to the others. They have toys galore and fun stuff for the kids (movies at each station- Braeden watched, or rather I watched Jay Jay the Jet Plane!). They also can put color or glitter in your hair. They have the cutest kids products too...in Braeden's hair they spiked it and put glue (it came from a bottle that looked exactly like Elmer's Glue...so adorable!) I cannot wait to take Brooklynd for his 1st haircut, well actually I can because I adore his baby curls, but I know when I'm ready where I am taking him. Here are a few pics- no doubt they thought I was crazy for taking pics, actually they thought it was his 1st haircut. I had to explain I just take way too many pictures of my babies and everything else!! :-)

Easter Fun!

Braeden thought his talking, walking ducky was pretty awesome too! Cake Face! From Pre-Easter Cake (that looked like an Easter Egg!)

Happy Easter to All!

Hello All and Happy Bunny Day!! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a lovely Easter. We have had a full weekend of running around and we are also on technology overload right now as we have just recently purchased a laptop, a new camera and a pda! I have been in serious need of the PDA and am so excited to finally have one, but more excited to be caught up enough with household chores and homework to get sometime (after the kiddos go to bed!) to spend using it :-) Darren has been hard at work loading the new computer with all of my software and I will be excited to use that as well- he is enjoying it very much :-) We tested out the movie viewing on it by watching (most of ) Happy Feet. A friend lent it to us over the weekend and so Braeden learned to say "Happy Feet" everytime he sees the penguin he yells that! Both of our babies had a wonderful Easter spent with friends and family - the Easter Bunny came to visit Braeden at Nini & Kody's house and he came to see Brooklynd at our house. As we do annually, we went to TIm and Lori's for Easter Brunch. We had a lot of fun and more than enough food and the brown-sugar bacon as usual was delightful...It's a brunch favorite! We headed to my parents house after the celebration to put the kids down for a nap and then to play some cards. As of late we have taken to playing cards with my family and we enjoy it very much. The boys have kicked our you know what's and it has caused some friendly competitive tension (well mostly friendly!), but in the end we all enjoy ourselves and our competitive nature subsides (mostly). We hope you all have a great week. It's off to bed I go. Take care.
