Hannah's 1st "Real" Haircut

So we finally did it, long overdue....Hannah got her first "real" haircut! In my attempts to let it grow long, I had somehow let it get to this strange half-curly, half-mullet stage, so I figured we should go ahead and have it trimmed. She has had a couple "at-home" cuts that didn't really turn out so well, so this was a pretty big deal for us!

I took her to Snippets at the mall because that's where I always take Hunter and I knew she would be excited about the suckers and prizes. When we got there I overheard the lady next to me in the waiting area ask the receptionist if she could request to wait for the next lady to cut her son's hair....I quickly figured out that it was a new guy that had only been there for a week or so. At that point I almost did the same thing as she had done, only because I know how shy Hannah is with strangers...especially men for some reason, but I decided to just go with it and take our chances. Sure enough, about a minute later "Tim" walked up and called our name. Let me just say that he did an amazing job with both of them. Hannah turned on the shy bug immediately, but he was so good with her, and I knew she was lovin' it. Hunter did awesome too, this was the first time he didn't scream when they turned the clippers on! I felt kind of good when we left and the lady who had passed him up was still waiting for her child to be called.....

Tim (he kind of reminded me of a cross between Jack Black and Will Ferrell), and Hannah putting on her saddest face....I mean could you get any sadder?
Hannah, still trying not to smile....I knew deep down she was lovin' it

I think I see a little smile.....

Yep, there it is!

One braid and three stickers in the hair later, the much anticipated sucker...pink of course!

Fishin'

Kevin decided to get the kids their first fishing poles recently, so a few weeks ago we went over to his parents and took them fishing off the pier. Hunter caught one the second his cork hit the water, and Hannah got one a few seconds after that. They had a blast and talked about it for a week, so I'm pretty sure we have many years of fishing in our future!

Popsicles and Lollipops

So...I've been kind of picture happy lately and this past weekend my boredom turned into a full out photo shoot in the yard. Let me just go ahead and say that YES, I am a dental hygienist, and NO, I do not promote tooth decay. That said, there's not a lot of other ways to get two almost 3 year olds to sit still....so I resorted to lollipops and popsicles. We brushed really good after we were finished. Hannah is in a phase where she's all about posing and using her "cute" face. Hunter's new thing is to squint his eyes and smile as big as he possibly can when I take pictures...not sure where he learned that from, but to me it's adorable. I had a hard time narrowing down the cute ones, because too me they are all cute....so, just to warn you there are a lot of pictures!

Backyard Fun

Katy and Adalee had us over for a playdate in the backyard last week, its amazing how much fun they can have with a sprinkler and a pool....

Playdates

A few weeks ago we met a group of other moms at Incredible Pizza in Conroe, the kids had a blast, they rode everything, ate everyhing (so did I), and burned off a lot of energy. Katy let us in on the waterway splash pad in the Woodlands, so we took the kids there for a playdate too. Hannah and Hunter were a little skeptical at first, but pretty soon they got the hang of it. Fun Stuff.....
