Brady's haircut

Brady has gotten only a few haircuts in his life....the first being the removal of his mullet by Jon with a pair of paper sissors...the next by our cousins who buzzed it after they convinced us his hair was too long (which is was). So we got our own little home haircut kit and here are the results.

He started out happy because it tickles his head....that is until he made a sharp movement and got bumped (not cut) by the clipper/comb/guard/teeth/whatever looking thing and got scared. He flipped out and ran out of the kitchen with a half buzzed head.

 

We finally convinced him to take our peace offering - Cheetos.

 

Look who's smiling!

 

 

 

Loving the Mexican food!

We made a little trip out to La Jolla the other day (just to find that the temple store was closed!) and stopped for a little lunch at El Torito. I've only eaten there a few times but the food was great - and surprisingly Brady was very well behaved. This is due to the fact that his new favorite food are "Tah-to's" (tacos). Thank goodness the kid has expanded beyond mac & cheese and chicken nuggets!

Jon & Mallory (some days it looks like she is going to have red hair!)

 

 

Brady eats his taco's starting in the middle. So funny.

 

 

A letter to my Aunt

Dear Aunt Heidi,
Thank you for taking me to the park today. You know just what my mommy needs when she is sick - a little break from all of my energy! She talks about getting me a hampster wheel for my next birthday. I don't know what that is all about...I keep asking for a trampoline. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I had lots of fun today and even took a 3 hour nap when I got home! I'm so glad you and "Ema" live close by. I love you.
Love,
Brady-Boo

 

Updated pictures at last

Here is Miss Mallory in her swing this morning. She seems so much bigger today for some reason. We are loving this newest addition to the family! She is a great baby - mainly because she actually sleeps!! I consider myself very lucky to have her sleep for 3-4 hour blocks at night!! Getting somewhat decent sleep has made the adjustment from 1 kid to 2 a bit more manageable. Brady loves her as well - though I haven't gotten too many pics of them together because I'm usually too busy trying to keep him from smothering her with snotty nose kisses to grab the camera. But rest assured, he loves her and always wants it to be "Brady's turn" to hold her. So enjoy the updated pictures!

This is one of my favorite pictures of her! She didn't open her eyes much the first few days.
