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…

As I sit here, drinking my pumpkin spice creamer (with a splash of coffee) and munching some pumpkin bread I’m trying to tie my jumble of pictures together into a post that makes some sort of sense… and pretty much getting nowhere.   It’s been a bit chaotic around here… not really sure why… but can’t seem to bring the focus in to get a blog post done.   So with the focus thrown out the window, here is what we have been up to lately... Tara paid us a visit not to long ago and we got to   meet her little beauty, Priya.   Love that girl as does my Kaelyn. Smart girl... knows the best team in college football!  (thanks for the photo bomb Josh!)   We may have a little volunteer fire fighter on our hands… as long as she doesn’t have to hold onto the hose too tight.  For Kaelyn’s first birthday we got her a bike trailer that we cruised around in all of three times in Jupiter and haven’t touched since… until now.   We live super close to a beautiful p

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.  Oops.

Happy Birthday Chad

Today, January 25 th , we would be celebrating my brother’s 33 rd birthday.  When I think of him passing at the age of twenty, one of the first thoughts that always enters my head is being sad for him that he never reached legal drinking age.  I couldn’t wait for this day when I was twenty, but honestly, he probably could have cared less.  Chad didn’t get into trouble.  He was quiet, kind, responsible, thoughtful, tall, handsome… any mamma’s dream child. Chad lived a peaceful and content life at home with my Mom, Cassie, and Jack.   He loved his video games and actually liked his job at Federal Express.   Nothing breaks my heart more than not being home with him and my family his last couple years.   As the years pass, my memories fade, and that is gut wrenching.   I have tried and tried to remember the last time we were together or our last conversation, and both have vanished.   I do know the last time we talked over the phone we had discussed something about my cat, an
