Jo's Barber Shop

After watching me cut Wyatt's hair, Caden climbed up on the stool and said 'My Turn!'

I was kind of in shock. I never thought he would sit for me to cut his hair, but he actually sat more still than Wyatt. Caden's hair is SO different than Wyatt's. It is so long and silky I wasn't sure what to do and am a little sad at how short it got, but heck I won't need to give him a hair cut for quite a while. And he does look pretty handsome! :)

Friendship Award

Every month our school works on a different character trait. The first month of school was "Friendliness." Each teacher picks 2 students from their class that stand out in this area to receive an award. Collin and I were so proud of Wyatt for being one of the kindergarten Friendship Award Winners.

And I had to bring my video camera since I wasn't sure how our shy little guy would do getting up in front of all the people. As you can see he didn't miss a beat!

Changing Table

Well thanks to craigslist, we were able to sell our baby furniture to a very nice family who needs it for their new foster baby. But I have to say, I got a bit sad seeing it leave. Don't get me wrong, we are DONE. I am very content with two boys. Over the moon actually, but I get a little sad at every 'Big Boy' step they take. It just goes too darn fast!
And is it weird that I got the most emotional over the darn changing table. Heck, I should be jumping for joy. I mean really, that is the exact location where I have been peed on (many times, mostly by Wyatt) pooped on, and learned to use a suppository. But it is also where I cried with the boys on occasion, had great face to face interaction with them, gave zurberts, tickles and kisses. It is even where we did our 'monthly' photo of the boys. If you really think about it during that first year, you spend A LOT of time at the changing table.

Oh those thighs!!! :)

Such big boys now!

Pumpin' Patch

Wyatt wanted to take Caden back to see the animals and pumpkins at Lattin's.

The boys had fun, but didn't spend much time with the animals. They were all about getting pumpkins!

Yep, Caden does have a large head! He couldn't get it out of the sign after we took the picture. I had to turn it just right for it to fit out. Needless to say it kind of scared him.

Caden kept trying to pick up big pumpkins. The sound effects were hilarious!

Then he found HIS PUMPKIN! We tried to pick out a nicer one, but nope! Had to have the acorn shaped one with a soft spot on it.

The boy loves his pumpkin!

So does this boy! :)

Measuring

Collin decided to pick a spot to mark the boys' height. Our hall closet was the perfect place. And will be good as long as the boys don't grow taller than 7' 2'' :)

Caden didn't quite get 'look straight ahead!'

Silly boys

Meeting Miss Mia

Wyatt wouldn't hold her but he sure was interested in her and loved patting her back

Doesn't get much sweeter than that!

It was a long 2 1/2 weeks waiting for this!

Mia was trying to find her thumb and Wyatt was explaining to her how easy it really was.
