Playing Catch Up: Last Weekend

This weekend kind of stunk because I've had a cold and it rained everyday.  However, last weekend was awesome.

First we went to a friend's baptism on Saturday morning.  It was the first baptism we've been to as a family and it was a great thing for Charlie to see.  We were able to talk about what baptism is, on a 2 year old level, that day. 

Charlie found the "Jesus picture," that's in the front of his Book of Mormon, at the stake center

Later that day we went to Crystal Bridges to walk the art trail.  We've been wanting to go for so long and it was finally a cool enough day to go! Going on family walks/hikes is one of our favorite things to do as a family.


We packed a dinner and headed off. 





The landscaping was beautiful and there were animal sculptures along the way!




see the bear?


Me & my boys


take note of Tony's hair in this picture :)


We had a blast!  There are several other trails that we're wanting to do now.

Tony and I spoke in church on Sunday (thanks to our friends that watched the boys during sacrament meeting).  Maybe I'll start volunteering us to speak so we can have a kid-free sacrament meeting :)  Kidding, kidding...kind of.    

Charlie and I making banana bread

Charlie loves to help in the kitchen so together we made banana bread.  He is getting to be a great helper!



That evening we played in the backyard and I cut hair.  Yep, not just Charlie's but Tony's hair too.  I was a little scared since he had work early in the morning.  I would feel pretty bad if he had to go to work with a bald spot on the side of his head. He was a good sport and explained step by step what they do in the salon....

 
 I was so proud I made him smile for a picture!

I would say it turned out pretty good!  I may just start a male hair cutting business.  Five bucks a head? ;)


Charlie was starting Joy School in the morning so we had an early bedtime.  Can't believe he's already big enough to go to school.

Great weekend.

GREAT JOB on the Hair!!!!

That trail looked like so much fun & I loved seeing the boys with you on the bridge. You guys are such fun parents.

NO I cannot believe Charlie is big enough-- for even joy school :)

I kid you not - I was JUST thinking this morning. Mannnn, Jonas needs a haircut like once a week now! I wonder who I can find to cut boys hair for super cheap since we'll be getting it cut a TON at this rate. And then out pops this blog post! I would soooo pay you five bucks for a haircut for Jonas. And even more if you show me your skills while you do it! It may be in my best interest to figure this boy haircut thing out soon.
