Happy Birthday Kevin!

5 years old!
Legally does not need a carseat, now allowed to have gum, and according to him, no longer needs naps. :)


I love how happy he gets here.



Here's the camouflage cake that Aunt Kristi made with her "new" cake pan. As you can tell, orange is no longer his favorite color.



Thanks for all the gifts and mail!!! He scored big this Birthday, and we had fun celebrating!

My first Arizonan born

While eating cereal the other day, Hunter was all ready for preschool in his long sleeve shirt, long pants and still pretty new tennis shoes.
He says "I'm cold"
"What?"
I check to see that the temperature is 73°. No wonder he doesn't hurry to get out of the 120° car.
Crazy kid!

Lucky America

We have Celtic Woman touring in the U.S. right now.
They will be in Tucson on November 16th, so Britney and I are super excited to see them live!
Lucky us!!!

Bangs!

Katie would ask for bangs when she was 3 and 4, but every time I cut them she wouldn't last a week before starting to pin them back, so I denied any further requests. Once they were grown out, she didn't ask for them anymore.
When I asked her a few days ago if she wanted them, she said yes, "but not a lot, I want them like Aunt Becky's"
Anyway, here they are right after the cut and before I used my straitener (don't have a curling iron :) to fix them.



Her teacher complimented her right away, but I think some of her friends weren't quite sure what was different at first.
