August 2012

Well, lucky for you the kids are in bed early so I thought I would get august up here! Which means I am only two months behind now! Hooray for catching up...sort of!

Apparently in August I took a lot of pics of Mr Ji'Robert!

JT needed a hair cut. As much as I LOVE his curlies, he is just too busy of a boy to have his hair cared for daily at the moment so I figured we would give him a break and try to grow it out in another year or two. He has been asking for a mohawk so since we were shaving it off, why not give him one for a few days right! And then it grew on me and we love it! Not sure how long we will keep it but he is super cute!

The before:

 During:

 After! I wanted it wide so that we could narrow it later (ok actually because I was worried jared would goof up and we would have to shave it all off and miss this opportunity!)...

 Proud little man!

 We also potty trained JT after we got home from our road trip. He was SUPER easy. We put a pair of undies on and he never really had accidents! A couple at daycare and a couple at home a week later and that was it! So as his potty prize, he got a trailer for his tractor.

He had come in one day and said, "Mom, I think I need a trailer for my tractor"... to which I replied, "Yes, I think you do" and so we rigged up a sled tied to the back. And so he got a real tractor!

 He saw sissy putting on my mascara one day and tattled on her. But then the next day did the same thing only got it all over!

 Anyone remember this? Tyty LOVES my marble works marble racer from when I was little! He played and played with it!

 We had to get some cute pics with his new do'! What a little ham!

 So pretty.

 Beautiful profile...

 Such a handsome charming little boy!

 First album cover (as noted by my friend Dan)

 Classy boy...

 I love their little feet and shoes!

 Cheesing it up!

 Addy and I took a trip up to the Renaissance Festival. Its not really my thing all the role players and all but we went a few years ago and had a good time and there are tons of kids stuff to do there! Now I will note though that we went on belly dancing weekend and there is a VERY small population of people who should dress like that... none of them were there! EEK... lots of teeny bikini tops, big muffin tops, and teeny bottoms with chimey bell things... not a good look.

Face painting!

 Pictures and playing with Twig the Forrest fairy (who by the way is fantastic!)

 Llama rides..

 People powered amusement park rides!

I'm trying to think of other fun things that happened in August, I know we did lots of fun things and spent lots of time together as a family!
