The First Cut

-
We have a little pixie running around.  She's cute, sweet, hilarious, and best of all…. her hair is beyond adorable!

Brax and I both looked at one another like… uh-oh, is it to late to turn around?!? once we had gotten Kaelyn into the kids salon and had her sitting in the oh so cool race car.    Even that wasn't easy… thankfully this wasn't our hairdressers first rodeo and she had a lollipop  in her hands before KK could jump ship.  In an attempt to explain our vision for those blonde locks the hairdresser kinda looked at us like we may have lost a screw or two.  I think I may have been describing a dream of extensions for my two year old without knowing it.  After debating between extensions (kidding), a bowl cut, or a nice little trim that would encourage boo boos hair to grow…. we went with the latter.


If looks could kill...



No trim for me, thanks!
KK did great… though when she finished her first lollipop she decided she was done and tried her hardest to exit the vehicle… but Nonnie pulled through with another lollipop and we had a content toddler once again.  In the end…we are so happy with the results.  I wish we had done this quite some time ago.  Her hair looks so much better without the little rat tail she had going on and I have a certificate to add to her baby book with her first curl included… I love me a keepsake!






 The trip to Nonnie's was short but that didn't stop us.  As always… we fit in plenty of shopping, eating, and bonding.  







A month or so ago I had signed up Kaelyn for a  mom and tot swim classes.  We lasted all of a day.  I know, I know… I should have stuck with it… probably not teaching my daughter the best of lessons.  In my defense… Kaelyn was the oldest in the group and the only one who absolutely refused to do anything but hold on to mommy for dear life.  So daddy the hero has swooped in and has taken the task upon himself of turning toddler into fish.  He takes her to the pool every weekend and she is doing amazing.  Clearly she knows daddy is a fish himself and the best to learn from.




Then there is these two… really…. their love for one another is so obvious…

Appreciating: November!

AHHHH!  Prepping for a new baby and holidays make for one crazy combo in my world.  So here we are, February knocking on the door, and I am finally posting our November, December, and January.  Better late than never I suppose.  It's been a super busy three months, but we have celebrated Thanksgiving, a new niece, Christmas, and prepared for a new arrival by moving the girls into one room and getting his nursery ready to go. And now, November.. We have moved up in gymnastics... now both girls get to play while mama sits.  My kind of gymnastics class.   We traveled to Tampa for Thanksgiving this year.  No baking involved... Ruth Chris Steak House for the win. A Thanksgiving celebration at school Daddy Daughter Date Our annual tree selection ceremony.  This year I was pretty insistent on the tree we chose... which ended up being a dud and hardly making it through Christmas. ...

Good-Bye 2015

Happy New Year!  We actually stayed awake long enough this year to say good-bye to 2015.  We even made it out which I don't think has happened since we had our two beauties.  You better believe the minute that clock hit midnight we were hailing the first Uber driver available to get us home.  This was mainly due to Kaelyn being awoken by the barrage of fireworks and not being able to settle until she had her mama passed out in her bed. We said good-bye to Nonnie yesterday after a week and a half of time together.  We were able to celebrate Christmas and say hello to the New Year together and it was oh so special.  Aunt Kelly and Ethan also joined in on the fun for a few days. Nonnie brought all of these presents We watched our tree, Dingo (Kaelyn named him), be hauled off yesterday and have taken down the last twinkling light.  We didn't let the year and the warm weather leave us without a final trip to our favorite spot. ...

How Did We Get Here?!? Kaelyn’s First Day of Preschool (and some serious catching up!)

I had no intention of putting my eldest daughter in school this year.  I figured I would reap the last drops of my sweet girl before she began the never-ending journey that is her education.  I have a sappy heart and for selfish reasons didn't want to let my girl go.  Well after a discussion with Kaelyn on the prospect of school and the enthusiasm she didn't try to hide from weak old mom... I decided to let my little bird fly.   After asking around and checking it out online we decided on a local school that just so happened to have two available spots… one for Kaelyn and one for her bestie, Luke.   After touring the school… Kaelyn was sold and there was no looking back.   Which brings us to today.   Kaelyn marched down the hallway and made herself at home in her new classroom.     I was the mom that was in the car loop twenty minutes early after the longest three hours of my life.   She  got in the car and proceeded ...
