First Hair Cut

Today Dylan got his first haircut! I couldn't bear to the curls (and Brian told me I didn't have to) so we only got the front trimmed so it didn't hang in his eyes anytime it fell in his face. I knew it was time last week when he turned to look at me and started blinking all crazy because his hair was hanging in his eyes. :)

Brian was so sweet to take the pictures today while I tried to hold Dylan still along with the help of the bribe Wanda was so kind to send with us! My shutter speed looks like it was too low so the pictures were pretty overexposed. I had to do some editing to try to get them where they were usable. I took a test shot to make sure everything was ok but I didn't do it with Dylan in the shot, so they didn't turn out like I wanted. Whoops!

(I'm gonna teach BK a little bit about my camera over the weekend just so he'll be familiar enough to catch it next time.)

Somebody learned to color...

Started here... Kitchen floor




So I figured it was time to start doing this... First official piece of art! On paper at least...

Bookworms

Tonight Mackenzie and I were going to read after dinner to have some snuggle time but just as importantly to work on her reading. She had always loved to read but lately it's pretty surprising how good she can read!

While I was waiting for her to come to the couch Dylan climbed up on the couch, pulled the blanket over to cover him up and grabbed the books to start "reading". I hope his love for books sticks too!

Big Girl Sleep Over

Friday night Mackenzie had her first big girl sleep over, and to say the girls were excited would be just a TINY bit of an understatement!!

Being the crazy picture taking Mommy that I am, of course I had to take a picture!

Here she was all ready to go!!

She was such a big independent girl, she didn't even mention us once! Ha! It made me happy to know she was being such a big girl, but as you can imagine, it made my mommy heart, just a little bit sad at the same time. They stayed up until almost midnight and from what I heard were stirring by 6:30 the next morning. Needless to say she took a nap the next day!

Homeboy Likes to Read

I remember it just like it was yesterday when another Kennebeck kiddo used to love to read just as much as this one does...

Just Yesterday

Seems like just yesterday...

Sprinkler!

Well we may have won the horrible parents of the year award with Dylan's experience on the slip n slide, but I do know one Kennebeck Kiddo who loves to play in the water! Sprinkler!!!!!

New Face

This new face melts my heart every time I see it! And to think I was scared to be a Mommy of a little boy... He melts my heart on a daily basis!!

Best Friends and Bible School

He Must Be Yummy...

He got this and about 7 or 8 others in not much more than 5 minutes. He must taste pretty yummy!

Love and Hate

One of my kiddos loves playing in the pool during the summer...

And the other one... Hates it! We're still working on it, slowly but surely. :) Big Sis actually got him calmed down for amount a minute before he started crying again like you see in these pics
