Locks of Love

Here are some before and after pictures of my fun fresh new look for the summer...although it will never look like this again, because this is right after the hairdresser styled it. Now it's more of a wild and messy look, that is very low-maintenance and fun! I donated all of my 10 inches to Locks of Love, which I'm sure you've heard of, but it's an organization that makes wigs for kids with hair loss. I was actually surprised that I had just barely 10 inches, which is the minimum length for donating. The place I went to get it cut (Kenneth's Academy on Sawmill) actually gives you a free haircut when you are donating it, which was a nice bonus! I'm very happy with my new cut, and I think it will be a nice change for the summer.

Just a few pictures

Well it has now been over a month since Wesley's first haircut, and I guess we have not been taking very many pictures! And we certainly have not been posting the few that we have taken. We have really been enjoying the warm weather and getting outside a lot! Wesley is definately an outdoors guy, and cries everytime we have to go back inside. He is maneuvering playground equipment pretty well these days, although we still have to stay close. It's amazing to see how quickly he learns and progresses to being able to do more and more every day. He enjoys going down slides, running across bridges, going up and down stairs, swinging, and playing in the dirt, sand, rocks, gravel, twigs or whatever he can get his hands on. He also really loves playing with other little kids at the park, and he sometimes follows them around and does whatever they do, it's so cute. :) He's talking a lot too, and his ever increasing vocabulary is getting more and more understandable. A few of his favorite words lately are "monkey", "Weee" when swinging or sliding, "Daddy", "happy", "walk" which he says when he wants to go outside, and "puppy" which he says whenever he sees a dog. He does say "Mommy" sometimes but most of the time it's just "Mom". He still enjoys bath time and reading books just as much as ever. So that's a brief little update on Wesley. These are just a few pictures from the past month or so, like I said we really haven't been taking very many pictures.

First Haircut!

Wesley got his first haircut on Friday! He did such a great job, we were so proud of him. David went with me and we took him to Cookie Cutters. Which was great, he got to sit in an airplane while he got his hair cut, and the people were so nice. They gave us a cute certificate for his first haircut with a picture of him and a lock of his hair. I would definately recommend it! Here he is riding a horse after he was done. (He smiled a lot better for the picture the stylist took of him) :)

Before... During...

Zzzzz......

The other day Wesley fell fast asleep in his high chair while he was eating lunch. :) It was so cute.

Let it Snow!

Last weekend we got a LOT of snow! It wasn't technically a blizzard because the winds weren't quite blowing hard enough, but there was definately enough snow, and it felt pretty "blizzardy". We just couldn't believe how deep it was! Neither Dave nor I have ever seen this much snow so it was really fun. These pictures were all taken on Saturday when it was still coming down. We went outside and played with Geoff and Mindy. What fun!

If You're Happy And You Know It!

Winter wonderland!!

This picture is from a few weeks ago, one night around bedtime, but it was so beautiful we just had to go outside and play in the snow. Now I'm sitting here looking out the window at another white winter wonderland! Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to spring, but the snow is beautiful and I want to enjoy it since it won't be winter much longer.
