Carson's First Haircut

Well, after we got fun family photos for Christmas...we let the precious curly hair last as long as we could, but come the morning of the 27th we decided it was time for our little boy to lose the locks and become a big boy. Mommy of course cried with every snip of the scissors, but with the help of daddy and "Blue's Clues" we managed to keep him still enough to give him the big boy haircut he deserved. Somedays I miss the curls, but I was grateful to see that he still had enough natural curl on top to keep me happy.

Isn't he cute?

Oh the ringlets!

Yes, stretch out those curls, and they are super long!

What would a first haircut be without Mommy crying?

The finished result! Doesn't he look like a big boy now? :)

Biggest Blog Slacker

Ok so I am the biggest communication slacker of all time! A quick summary of the rest of our 2010 - busy summer as usual with parades, fireworks, camping and a trip to Bear Lake. Brayden started kindergarten, Baylor started preschool, my brother David got engaged, Brayden also started piano lessons and won the reflections contest at his school with a photo he took. Fun Halloween, slow Thanksgiving (thankfully), Brayden had a piano recital with his memorized song, and we had a great Christmas! Oh yeah, and we added a new family member - a year old rat terrier named Sparky! He is by far the most affectionate dog we have ever known. Here are a few highlight pics to recap the year.
