Time is a changing

I was noticing today that Little Man's hair has grown a TON in a year. (well, actually, less than a year) I am looking at the family picture was had taken in October and he had peach fuzz. You know, the bearly there, top of a peach.

Well that is not the case anymore, he has HAIR! Wavy Curly Long adorable Hair. And yes, I know, he is a boy. But isn't long hair IN for boys?

 I just dont want to cut it yet. He looks so adorable. And someday, he will be asking me for a green mohawk (which, knowing me, if it is not close to anything like Christmas, I might just give in.)

So, on that note, I took this picture of my little girl after Tball practice the other night...

... now, she has long, wavy, curly hair as well. But it hasn't passed the thin baby hair stage yet. And she has asked me if she can get a hair cut. But she has a few front calic's (spelling) an it is finally almost all able to to in a braid or ponytail. And it is summer, so her hair being on her neck is not a good idea.

So.... question.... am I being a bad mom? Selfish mom? Greedy mom?

Hummmmmmmmmmm...............................

Halstead Old Settlers Run

So I brought Liz to the Old Settlers run on that Saturday morning. Well, that crazy gal medaled-getting second in our age group. And I got 4th!

(Nevermind that I think that was last in our age group. LOL!!)

Rainy Weekend

Ok, so it was raining a lot at this point of time. A few weeks ago. So daddy got smart, and brought in his climb & slide before it got too wet. :)

So, I having been working on this garage sale for saturday every night this week. Last night, I was doing a lot of in and out from basement to the garage. We had the gate up in between the kitchen and the living room (which happens to be right next to the basement stairs) and Cason was standing there for quite a while calling for "Momma". After a few trips by, I noticed he was quite. So when I came upstairs, I looked over the gate to see a sleeping little man, leaning against the ottoman by the gate. So, I snapped a picture.

Then, Cason woke, rubbed his eyes, and laid over. So, I snapped another picture and told Cody to put him to bed. And it was still 30 minutes before his scheduled bedtime. Poor little man wants this garage sale business to be over so he can get in some "momma" time. :(

Day at the Zoo

~Cason Loves his big sissy~

Well, we went to the Zoo this past weekend. It was a hot morning, but we wanted to get some family fun time in. Madison is always one that is overly anxious to get there. (No Surprise there.) We headed over to the pink flamingo's first, a must with Miss Madi everytime. Thankfully they are right inside the entrance. :) Then we went to feed the ducks, geese and fish on the bridge.

Followed by feeding the goats and farm animals. Cason got his first try at feeding them, although dad had to jump in and hold his little hand down to the animals since Cason was hoping the little fiber pellet was for "his mouth". LOL!

We then made our way over to the elephants since it was time for their daily training. It is always fun to watch them.

The hippos were not exciting this time around, it was too hot, so they stayed very still in the cold water. Cason was trying to wave to them anyway.

We then headed to the Gorillas to get some needed A/C time in. The gorillas were a little too hot as well and found that there was only one way to try and stay cool. Laying flat backed on the little shade my the windows with their hands over their faces. Poor Gorillas.

We headed to the Tigers next, and to our luck with was feeding and training time!! So they open these glass doorways in the building and feed them through a chainlink fence. It was pretty great!!

I couldn't help but take this beautiful photo of daddy and Madi.

To end our morning at the zoo, we headed to Cason's little buddies, the penguins. He got in some quality time while Madi and I had snow cones. He just loves those little guys. :)
