Look at my handsome man with his big boy haircut!!!

VERY BIG day

Today was a VERY big day for Brennon...well for that matter, me too! Brennon got his first haircut today! He was SUCH a big boy and did great! I on the other hand, well, we won't even go there..haha! I did fine until it was over and I looked at him all grown looking and that was it for me....I lost it!!! I could not believe how old my babies were getting and this was one of the first big milestones for them! I never dreamed these little things would have SO MUCH power over me. I have never known more, pride, fear, sadness, happiness and joy all at one time..all over a haircut! 8-) Even more than yesterday, or the day before or more than 19 months ago, I love and adore EVERY thing about being a mom.


He was REALLY enjoying the sucker!!!!

Our little visitor

We had a little friend wander up last week...well, poor thing....he was wandering up I am sure- but Tito seemed to think he was some kind of new ball. So after he had been tormented for who knows how long, I rescued him and put him in a box for the boys to see the next morning....they were so cute-Brennon enjoyed it much more than Cayden but still they both were so excited when they first saw him.

Brennon still fascinated with him, Cayden long gone to play!

The Simple Things

Since today was so hot I thought playing in the water would be a fun way for the boys to spend their afternoon outside. Cayden was having more fun in the mud and running around the driveway but Brennon was fascinated with the waterhose. After a few minutes of watching my little man just stare at the water and then touch it, I started thinking about how I let life get me so busy that I do not even stop and enjoy the small things in life. As I was watching Brennon's fascination I looked up at the gorgeous sky (look how pretty it is in the pictures) and I stopped and enjoyed and savored it. I thought how magnificently gorgeous our Mighty Father created every detail of this planet and I stood there overwhelmed and in awe of His creation! How amazing it is that our children can bless us in so many ways and part of God's amazing creation is that THEY are the ones who continually teach us to slow down and pay attention to Him and His creation!!!
