Golden Brown...or Golden Locks?

Well the time did come for Kyle to get his first hair cut. It was pretty difficult for me. My dad has always cut my brothers hair, so I entrusted him with the daunting task of cutting Kyle's hair. I told him he could only do it under my conditions, which were to not get carried away, but only cut one inch off. After he wetted it down and combed it out, and the ringlets were hanging down at the bottom he said, "Are you sure you want me to do this?", and he was the one pushing me for it the whole time! So of course I had to pause and second guess the decision, but I figured it was time. Luckily the curls are still in tact and it really wasn't that traumatic. :)
Grandpa and Kyle before (I think they resemble each other :)











Before
During: not too happy at this point
After: He can feel all the weight that's been taken off!
Glad it's over...

SUGAR 'N SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE!!

I think I am long overdue for an update!! We just found out that we're adding a baby GIRL to our happy little family! Neal is actually really excited...I was worried he would go into depression if it wasn't a boy :) Now we just need a whole new baby wardrobe!
Here's some pics of what we've been doing lately:
Kyle modeling what his new sister will look like (most likely she won't be blessed with Kyle's golden curls :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEAL!!!

Neal turned a whopping 28 on Tuesday the 7th. Sadly he had to work all day, but he got biscuits and gravy for breakfast, lots of singing grams and calls throughout the day at work, dinner at a yummy mexican restaurant, and.......an IPOD touch!!!! I totally splurged and went out of my comfort zone for this one...but I knew it would make him the happiest man alive for 100 yrs...so I think it was worth it :) He was very very excited and couldn't stop smiling. The smiling he is doing in the pictures is completely genuine...he didn't have to fake his excitement! We finished the night off with german chocolate pie (upon his request) and the movie "Bedtime Stories". Happy Birthday lovies!
