Goodbye baby curls, goodbye.

Oh...I finally gave in and took Ethan for his first haricot. It was getting pretty wild and crazy...but I was so sad to say goodbye to all the little baby curls. SIGH. But he does look so cute with his new hairscut! ;)

This is the after picture. I just took this picture after his nap so he's a bit messy.

Here are both the in process and the before picture. Do you see all the crazy fuzziness coming out from behind his head in the pic below?? crazy! He did really well getting it cut. He sat on a booster all by himself and didn't cry at all. UNTIL the clippers came out. And yes, I was the mean mom who held his head so the back bottom could be trimmed. It needed it SOO bad. And I figured if I was paying for the silly haircut I might as well have it be finished! ;)

Spring Break Trip 1: the LBC

The kids and I took a trip to Long Beach to spend the weekend with my parents while Jason went to a men's conference with some guys from church. We had a lot of fun hanging out with gramma and grampa! :) I didn't take many pictures but we did go to the Aquarium and I got some pics there. Enjoy!

Alis touching the sting rays!

Ethan touching the sea stars!

Poor Ethan didn't want to be in any group pictures :)

Fishies!!! Ethan learned the word fishies during spring break.

MOPS today

This was our creative activity for MOPS today. I've been looking forward to this activity all year-it was a highlight for me as I've been planning and prepping all the crafts this year! And it was a hit!!! The moms loved it!!!

This pendant is a sample I made-printed the Chinese character for "love" on computer paper and used it for the pendant!

The moms all got to choose their own paper design for their pendants. There were so many adorable choices!

Then they came to these tables and picked their glass tile, bail and chains! And back to their tables they went to create! It was so fun!!!!
*all the materials were purchased at Annie Howe's etsy website. she's got great ideas!

First dentist visit!

This month little Elijah had his first Dr appointment!! Such a big boy! I can't believe he's going to be 4 in May! Oh...time...can't you slow down? He did a great job and his teeth are great! Hooray! And he was way excited to come home with a little baggie of teeth stuff, including a TRANSFORMER toothbrush! Perfect!! Enjoy the pics.
