First Haircut

So this happened yesterday after months of me putting it off!
I had to say goodbye to the long blond curls after 22 months.
Yes.... my heart stopped for a bit.
But it was time.
He was called a girl many times...even wearing obvious boy clothes and
 constantly was pushing his bangs out of his eyes. 
Super pathetic.
But I had to find the perfect place for his first haircut and it all worked out. 
We went to Sac to visit Ryan while at a conference 
and I found this place...
 EJ's Little People
and it happened to be right down the street. 
It was awesome!
They only do kids hair and have been in business since the 70's 
and had great reviews.
The stylist took his picture before and after, 
kept some of his curls for me in an envelope 
and created a cute certificate with all of this in it.
 It was perfect!
Baby cried the moment the stylist tried to touch him. 
That part was awful. 
I had to sit with him sitting on me, more like laying on me and 
tough out the entire cutting session.
Luckily, there were toys everywhere 
and thank god Ryan was there 
because he was able to distract him for minutes at a time...
just enough for her to cut something. 
She was sooooo patient.
Also, good thing for him coming
 because I was about to have her just clean up his curls
 and leave it a little bit long.
Anyway, he looks like my sweet boy....just much older. 
I can kiss his neck easily and his cute little ears are now exposed.
That's my handsome boy!
 
He is sticking out his tongue on the after picture!









XOXO,

Tania

Boys will be boys

I can't believe that the holidays are almost here. 
Christmas shopping here I come!
I love making a list and getting everything wrapped and under the tree.
Well, not quiet yet!
We have a quick trip down south planned for
Brenden's 2nd Halloween
and my 20 year high school reunion.
Yup, it's official. 
I am old!
Then, Kylah starts tryouts for club season...it never ends,
finals for high school will still go on since they keep winning,
Thanksgiving in Southern California
 and a San Diego family wedding,
Seaworld to Celebrate Baby's 2nd birthday,
Christmas,
and I am trying to squeeze in a family vacation
 during New Year's in a tropical place.
Let's see how that all works out!
 Hope all is well.
 Enjoy!

My big boy riding his Strider!

Looking for beer during our annual block party!

He wanted to eat just like us.

More pumpkin patch visits!

Just hanging out in a boat in the middle of the country!

Trains! My first time ever putting train tracks together. Not so good at it.:)
 
XOXO,

Happy Fall and many other things

Lots have been going on in our house. 
I can't post it all, but here are some things.
Brenden turned 22 months. 
OMG. Just stop now!
Terrible 2's have officially begun.
Kylah has been playing a lot on varsity 
and her team has won 9 out of 10 games so far.
I guess hoping for a short season was wishful thinking.
We officially went solar! No more electricity bills! 
I sold my first house!
Ryan got his hunting license....I know! That's what I'm thinking.
Harvest time has begun in the vineyards 
and the grapes are ready to be crushed.
It's Fall, but still hot.
More to come.


22 Months!

Go Kylah!

Solar finally!
My first check!

Hot October days!

My hunter!

Make some wine!

Larry's Corn Maze!



He found his way out of the mini maze! My smarty pants.

Just peeking! I just cant.


XOXO, Tania
