Haircut...

Although Noah got his hair trimmed while Aunt Sara was here... we decided that with the heat and the length of his hair...it was time to cut it off! Sad! I know! I couldn't even sit out there the entire time...it was too much! His hair had been growing [with a trim here and there] for almost a full year...and now...it's gone and I have a hard time telling Nixon from Noah.... oh well...he's still a cutie and is much happier to have the hair out of his face while he is out playing.

Family Vacation!

For the first time all of my mom's grandkids were together this last week! Anjie, Kassie, Nixon, Noah, Brennen and Lucas. Jim, Sara and Lucas flew into D.C. on last Monday and toured around up there for a few days while Alisa, Pete and the kids flew into Norfolk and hung out with us for a day until we all drove up to D.C. to get Jim and the fam.

Together we all went to the beach and to Jim and Sara's hotel's pool...super fun! We celebrated my 25th birthday, it was the first birthday in 5 years that I was able to be with anyone from my side of the family, which was really nice. Thanks Alisa for baking my cake...oh how I love funfetti!! We also spent Father's Day together and took the guys out to a buffett, needless to say, Pete won! All the kiddo's were able to run around with each other and cause a little havoc every where they went!

Over all I think we had a great time and that it was maybe too short! We will have to do it again sometime! Thanks for coming out guys!

Newness...

So lately I have been really slacking in the blogging department...sorry guys! In the last two months, Kaylen has come home from deployment, we took a two week [much needed]vacation to Orlando, FL., we bought a house, Kaylen spent some time in NYC for Navy Fleet Week, I finished my Criminal Justice degree, Noah started [kinda] potty training and Nixon learned to ride his bike without training wheels...

We also took new family pictures, they all turned out so good and we got such a good deal on them! Hope you all enjoy!
