Lots of stuff!

I know I haven't posted in awhile but things have been super busy around here! Here are a few pictures from around the house the week or so before Thanksgiving, our trip to Gibson Island, their second birthday, and Skylar's first haircut. Enjoy!

Playing in the leaves never gets old for Skylar


He was obsessed with the pumpkin decoration on our neighbor's house.


Does this give you an idea why we had to put carpet on the fireplace?!?


The difference between boys and girls

She was eating with her eyes closed and resting on her hand...so tired but always in the mood for food!

Sitting in his chair and eating fruit....it is a miracle!

Loving her fireman's hat she got after the visit they made to her school.

Wildman in the airport on our way to Gibson Island for Thanksgiving wearing mommy's sunglasses.

What a big girl!! We were so lucky that both of us had an entire row to ourselves.


Beautiful Gibson Island



The big catch....how many did you catch David??!


Checking out the boats that were docked for the winter with Papa


Enjoying the cool weather

Mommy and Elaina

Saying hi to Papa who was taking the picture

Papa and Skylar....love this picture!

Sitting and looking out onto the water (and saying Cheese!)

Calling her people

Cousin It (aka Elaina) giving David a back rub

Skylar with Auntie Amy...we miss you guys!!

Ready for his first haircut, on his second birthday

The birthday girl, along for the ride (and hopefully the candy!)

Probably was dancing

Trying to get him in the chair

Of course, if she was getting her hair cut, she would probably not be sitting this well.

Finally it is done! Just a little shorter

Enjoying this present thing

"Wow a new movie that I can shove in and out of the DVD player!"

Checking out the new legos (that would be violently thrown unintentionally in between mommy's eyes two days later...yes, it hurt, and the bruise/cut is still there!)

Blowing out candles with MoMo


Party with friends and family is coming this weekend...

Elaina's First Haircut

So after months of putting it off, I finally took Elaina for her first haircut. The poor girl had never lost her baby hair on top so she had this long patch that was always in her eyes. It looked cute when we pulled it back or put it in a ponytail but she is super active with fine hair so this didn't last long. When we went today, she was very well behaved but did not smile at all!! I think she was a little confused. Like with most haircuts, it will probably look best in a week or so. Her bangs were shorter than I wanted and according to Jon they are crooked (ok I will agree they are a bit!). But they are out of her eyes. And now the back is even and she doesn't have a mullet in the making. I looked at her afterwards and thought my little baby is now a little girl. She seemed so grown up in the chair...where did time go?!?

Look at the height on that hair! Yes, it was time!

What is going on!?!



Checking herself out in the mirror!


Still staring down the sweet woman who cut her hair!


Now her food doesn't end up in her bangs when she eats!


And a side look

Such a big girl now!
