Our Little Gymnast

We put Laura into Gymnastics this spring and she had a blast. The only time slot we could fit her into was the 4-5 year old class, but as tall as Laura is, you really couldnt tell she was only 3. She actually towered over some of the 4 year olds. She kept up with the class pretty well also. Some of the 5 and older 4 year olds were more advanced, but Laura did quite exceptional given her age. It was a blast watching her learn mad new 'skillz' and learn to follow the direction of someone other than her parents. She really enjoyed herself and always after each lesson she would ask,

"Are we coming back tomorrow Mom?"

"No, not until next Thursday."

"AWE!" Pause. "But we are coming back tomorrow, Mom, right?"

Sigh. "Right."

The teacher always had fun obstical courses that he would set up in between sets for the kids to work on their balance, tumbles and other stuff.



Laura was a regular monkey!

Benjamin's First Haircut

As adorable as Ben was with his feathers of fine hair a top of his little head, it was deffinately time for a haircut for my 9 month old son. It was hard to let go of my infant and graduate him to...well I guess a baby/toddler. (But the kid had so much hair!) Dale needed a cut as well so we went to Dale's barber, Brad Store, and after Dad got his ears lowered, Brad put an apron on Dale and Ben sat on his lap for the most squirmish haircut I think Brad has completed in a long time, if ever. I have to hand it to him though, Ben's hair was amazingly perfect and he looked so handsome afterwards. Awesome job Brad!

Before the haircut (with a little improvising on the mohawk so that you can see how long it was on top)

In the barbers chair with Dad before his first big boy haircut....AHHHHH how cute is he!

...and the finished product! I know he looks scared, but he was actually just really ready for a nap. Way to go son. We are proud of you!
