Big Boy Haircut

Cason got his hair cut like a big boy today. It is short but super cute! Bradley said he sat still and was a very good boy again this time even when they used the clippers, which was a first for him.  

He looks like a little boy now and not like my baby, which makes me a little sad, but he looks so cute with his new hairdo!

Pumpkin Patch 2012

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch this morning and they had a blast. I did my best to take pictures but Cason was everywhere and Emory was in a bit of a mood. I think I got a few keepers though!

Emory's First Haircut

This afternoon I took Emory to get her hair cut for the first time. It has been 3 years and 9 months in the making and about time, I know! When Emory was two Amanda (who cut her hair) told me that she would wait until she was older because her hair was healthy and growing in good and unless I just wanted it short there was really no reason to cut it. Emory's hair grows fast so at that point I just decided to let it grow... and grow it did! Emory was a very good girl while Ms. Amanda cut her hair and got a sucker when she was done!  She got about 2 to 2.5 inches cut off but it is still long enough to braid and put up in a ponytail. She loves it!

And after her haircut.

This was the best front view I could get. Which brings me to the out takes.

Have I mentioned that Emory loves to perform and is an absolute MESS!

Cason made a mess!



Pumpkin Fun

Yesterday morning Mimi, Rachel, and Mckenzie came over and we attempted a Pinterest idea. The idea was to use cookie cutters to decorate your pumpkin. The idea worked but took a lot of muscle power. After one moon and an almost star, I ditched the cookie cutters and made an old fashion face on the other side.

Emory stirring the seeds, which we roasted yesterday afternoon.

This face cracks me up!

She is so dramatic and was telling me that she was to busy working to have her picture taken.

Here is our finished pumpkin.

Miss Mckenzie blowing bubbles!

My failed attempted of taking Emory's picture with the pumpkin. At least she is smiling and happy even if she would not look at the camera!

The Pineywoods Fair

We went to the fair tonight and the kids had a blast! Bradley of course has been up there all week with his students but this was the kids and mine first night to go.

We started off visiting the exhibit booths and both kids got a balloon. Cason loved his balloon or ball as he called it and played with it all night. Next we headed to the petting zoo. Can you guess what Cason's favorite animal was??  The "ducks" of course and by "ducks" I mean chickens too!

Emory liked the goats, calf, and miniature horses.

Cason pointing at the ducks! He was not scared at all!

Emory petting the miniature horse! After the petting zoo it was time to ride!

Mckenzie and Emory really liked the cars. Cason was too short to ride and had to sit this one out. It was probably a little to fast for him anyway.

He got to ride the merry-go-round and loved it! He even cried when it was time to get off.

Cason riding the merry-go-round for the first time!

Emory still likes the merry-go-round too!!

We had a great time at the fair tonight and Emory is ready to go back tomorrow and ride some more rides!
