just for fun

I recorded this when I was taking Bry's picture of his own hair cut... he was begging me to tape him singing "the Jesus song" I cracks me up to watch him singing away with that chunk out of his hair.... and I think he had an itch!

Taking matters into his own hands...

Today as I was rocking Bryson and we were singing together, I was stroking my hair thru his long curly locks, which had gotten a bit too long and were beginning to hang down in his face (esp when we would go swimming...) "Bry, you need a haircut, dont you? We need to cut this hair here so it wont be down in your eyes..." His response "yah..." and off he went to go play while I went to go do the dishes....

A few minutes later (I know you all know where this is going....) he comes back around the corner with a hand ful of red curls in one hand and Micah's fiscar scissors in the other... you guessed it, he gave his bangs more than just a trim... I had told myself that I was gonna let him be little for one more summer.... we put off the buzz cut one more year... I loved those baby curls! But he took matters into his own hands and changed that decision real quick! :o)

So he now has a summer time hair do.... still a cutie, but just a cutie w/o curls... I do love that his eyes look super blue!

And look how much he favors his big brother now!

Here is Coby at about 3 or 4 years old....

Happy Birthday, G-Dad!

Citizen of the YEAR!

Attention blog readers:

Proud momma moment ahead... lots of bragging to follow! Consider yourself warned...

My sweet Micah was awarded Citizen of the YEAR for his class this morning in the closing assembly. He was so sweet.... proud and excited, grinning from ear to ear on the stage... yet humble about it with all his friends. It is one of the highest honors for an elementary student at Brentwood Christian, and we are so proud of him! He has got such a great balance of sweetness, BOY-ness, giggles, & brains! He has grown (physically & emotionally) so much this year, and we are so blessed to have had Mrs. Patterson as his teacher. She has this enthusiasm for school and a passion for reading, and it has been completely contagious for Micah. She also has a love for our Savior that has been reflected in her teaching... what a blessing!

Way to go MICAH! We love you!
