Pictures

I have this thing that I don't want to post anything without photos. But, lots of fun/cute stuff happens that isn't always captured on film, so I should probably get over it.

Anyway, last week we met up with our favorite photographer, Kathleen Ryan, (ryanphotoart.com) and had Brady's 2 year pictures done. I had been telling Brady for days that our friend Kathleen was going to come over and take his picture, and that seemed to really work! The morning she was coming, I reminded him of what was about to take place, and he was extremely willing to get his face washed, hair wet down and combed, teeth brushed, etc. When she got here, it was as if she was his long lost friend - he was THRILLED to see her! Here's one little snap of our morning together

Snip-Its

A couple weeks ago (sorry I'm so behind), it was time to get Brady's hair cut for a second time. Brandon was out of town, so I did all this pumping up talk about a place called 'Snip-Its' while we ate dinner one night. After dinner, we went to the mall and excitedly approached 'Snip-Its'. The worst of the worst....it was closed!!!!!! So, after a heartbroken ride home and many tears, I explained to Brady that I would wrap up work early the next day so that we could go back to 'Snip-Its' before they closed. When we finally went the next day, Brady was very excited. That is until he realized what exactly was going to happen at this 'Snip-Its' place. He ended up sitting on my lap, but I was thrilled with the stylists at this place. They had one cutting his hair, and one entertaining him with bubbles, toys, etc. during the whole thing. He was actually able to get all of his haircut because the distraction lady was able to keep coming up with tricks for about 20 minutes. I would highly recommend 'Snip-Its' to anyone with small children in this area. Below are the results of our trip!


This photo above cracked me up. Somehow, he was able to get these two large suitcases out of the 'suitcase closet'...he hauled one of them to the garage door and told me, 'bye bye mama!'
