Keston is a BIG BOY!

Well, I finally did it---yep, cut off all Keston's baby curls! I figured I better get it done before Papa Dave came to visit new baby sister --- I wouldn't put it past my dad to have Keston's hair all shaved off:) Oh, and Grandma Bernice will be sooo excited to see these pictures too, I think she was the most excited to find out I was having a girl, so I would finally get rid of his curls! But mommy loved them and it was hard for me to let him grow out of them...

I have always trimmed his hair myself, but after one attempt and the kicking and screaming---I thought I would let someone else do it. Keston didn't say a word or move at all --- but his face is priceless...I don't think he really enjoyed his first real barber experience:)


I warned the girl cutting his hair that I may start crying---but was suprised that I was fine with the whole thing. She lifted him up to look in the mirror when he was finished and Keston's eyes just sparkled as he looked in the mirror when the torture was finally over...."I COOL LIKE MACE!" he said.


He is sooo proud of his big boy spikes now that are just like Daddy and Mace. Mace was so proud of him that "you're not kind of a girl any more---you are my twin!" At least I still have pictures of the curls, it is amazing how grown up a hair cut can make a little boy....now he is ready to be a big brother and he can't wait!

Getting Ready for Sissy!

I can not believe how quickly time is passing! I have definitely been a blog slacker, but we are all doing well and so excited for Christmas and baby Sissy at our house...here are a few pictures of the boys helping me get ready for baby....

I felt guilty painting the baby's room with out painting the boys room too. So we moved all the boys stuff into the baby's room while we painted their walls blue and tan...and then on to this mess of a project. I don't even know what color these walls were---but yuck and dark. I was really ready for a little pink in the house:)
Walls all primed and ready for paint---boys helping daddy with the bead board and chair rail.Keston was so proud of sissy's pink walls and he always makes sure there is a pillow, blanket, and stuffy (stuffed animal) in there for her -- what a big helper.Bedding and blankets all washed and ready for our new little arrival!


I figured if you were washing one carseat, might as well wash all three. Well that was tons of fun with two little helpers---notice we are still in pjs! Washing carseat and testing the carseat weight limit...
and carseat passenger limit...

We are so excited and can't wait to post pictures of our new little bundle and snuggle her all day long! The boys are already fighting who gets to hold her first:)
