Trip to Jackson

We took a weekend trip to Jackon, Mississipi to visit Jeremy, Terry and kids. We had a wonderful time

Weigh In

While some might think it's cute having such a little boy, here in West Helena, they don't. So, we have have to take Parker for a weight check on Monday. In an effort to plump him up before then, we have started rice cereal. Here are pictures from the first time. We have gotten better since then and he really likes. Prayers please for Monday!

Isabelle Turns Two!

Friday was Isabelle's 2nd birthday. Can't believe how much she's grown. We opened presents here in West Helena and then headed on to Huntsville to celebrate with some family.

We were celebrating Isabelle's, Grandpa's and Ella's birthday. Isabelle and Ella got princess cakes, Grandpa did not. Ella's had a little accident.

Ready to dig in!

The kids had lots of fun playing with cousins, uncles and aunts.

we were putting together gift bags for Isabelle's birthday and had a few left over items, so Parker got to experience his first round of dress-up. If you look closely, you can see the serious irritaion in his eyes.

My First Haircut (butchering)

So, Philip has been saying for a long time that he wants to get Isabelle's haircut. It has almost been two years and while I like the length, it did need some freshening up. I was planning to surprise him by taking her to the shop one day this week, but it is closed due to a death in the family. So, I decided that a blunt cut on a straight fine-haired almost two year old couldn't be that difficult and I, supermom, could handle it. Well, as you can see, here are the results..........

Before......

After .......

So, in less than five minutes, it was all gone. Not straight, not the length I wanted, just gone. In all, it was approximately 5 1/4 in. My mom said I should blame it on Isabelle moving around to much, but in all honesty, she sat pretty still thanks to the lollipop. No, it was just her incompetent mother. Did I forget to mention that her 2nd birthday is in four days and we will be traveling to Huntsville to celebrate with my family and take lots of pictures. Well, hopefully I have learned my lesson, and thankfully her hair seems to grow pretty quickly. What's that saying about the best laid plans..?
