Good-bye curls!

We took Will to Snip-Its this morning for his first hair cut. I apologized to the lady for all the pictures I was about to take...enjoy...

Getting ready...

Those curls won't be there for long...
He didn't like the spray bottle too much!
He kept looking at his daddy and Meme and Poppi and laughing!

This hair cut stuff wears me out!!

Will playing with a toy while the lady snips away.
He liked the brush she uses to get loose hair away...

Uh-oh...he did NOT like the buzzer that cut around his ears and the back of his neck...Daddy had to step in and help!!

The finished product...what a big boy!!

His certificate...

Where did Will go??

Today is Will's 16-month birthday. I can't believe so much time has gone by since our precious boy came into this world. It has been the best!! When I picked him up from Jackie's house today, she told me that he is "graduating" tomorrow during nap time from a pack-n-play to a cot...a COT...that means he is NOT little anymore!!! He also did not want to leave today...I had to go and pull him away from the toys and carry him out!! Here are a few pictures of him playing this afternoon at our house...

He couldn't get out of the tub, so he just sat down...haha!
What a sweetheart...hard to believe that little angel pitched his first real tantrum in Kroger on Monday and threw Teddy Grahams all over the floor!! Then yesterday, we were playing and I tried to help open the toy...he obviously didn't want me to, because he stood up as fast as he could, grabbed my arm with both hands, and went in for a bite! Some days the little angel turns into a devil, but I even love those days!!

One of his favorite things to do...go underneath the ottoman in the living room...Where did Will go??

Oh...there he is...with a passy that he found somwhere in his room...and he hasn't had a passy since he was 2 months old!! What a nut!!

Mama is 30!!

We're back...back to blogging, that is. It has been over a week. In that week, Mama has been sick, has had curriculum night and didn't get home until after 9pm, and then to end the week, Mama turned 30 on Saturday!! Here are a few pictures from our week...I will try to be better next week...

Will had some wild hair one morning...Daddy caught in on film!

Some beautiful flowers from some neighbors...as a thank you for taking their son to tennis camp one day over the summer! I like opening the door to people like that...LOL!

Will at Dominick's for my birthday dinner last night!! He loves to eat! While we were all enjoying our salads, he was munching on carrot shreds, black olives, and craisins...then he ate three little saucers of spaghetti!!

My birthday cake that Meme made...Caramel...my favorite! :)

Will while everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to me...he must of thought it was for him!!

I spent some wonderful time with my family last night!! They also gave some fabulous gifts!! I got gift cards to Target, Kohl's, and Belk, a pretty new monogrammed purse, and a new monogrammed school bag from my hubby! He also got me a few gift cards and is having our carpets cleaned tomorrow while he is off work!!! I was most excited about that. Oh yeah, and my mom got me a new chocolate fountain because mine bit the dust...I now have the Wilton one...bigger and better...now, who's having a shower? LOL!

One more thing I forgot to mention...on Friday when I picked Will up from Jackie's house, he didn't want to come home with me!! I knew that day would come, and as happy as I was that he loves to be there, I was a little sad, too! Have a good week!!

Daddy can't catch me...

This morning before Brad got Will ready to go to Jackie's, Toby was outside doing his thing. When he pushed the door open, Will took the opportunity to go outside when Daddy wasn't looking. He grabbed the broom that was on the back porch and ran into the yard. Brad snapped a picture and then went out to get him. I guess he didn't want to go play with his friends today because he ran from Brad...all the way to the back of the fence. I would have loved to have seen that. :)

You know how sometimes after a long day of work, all you want to do is put your feet up and watch your favorite show?? Well, Will does that, too...here he is getting ready to watch Baby Einstein this afternoon...

...with his buddy, Elmo, that Mama bought at the Kidsignment sale yesterday for $3. He survived the washer and the dryer, and Will loves him!!!

I like to P-A-R-T-Y!!

We went to Will's little buddy's 1st birthday party today!! It was at a local park, and we had a great time. It was hot...as you can tell by Will's face. Enjoy the pics...

Waiting on the party to begin!!

Riding on the tractor...

Coloring with the crayons...

Heading home...fun was had by all! :)

And here's a sneek peak of Will's Halloween costume...

I like when Daddy bathes me...

...he does my hair real nice!! :)

I can't go, Daddy...I have a fever...

...or so he tried to get his Daddy to believe. Will grabbed his thermometer (the underarm one) and was trying to persuade Brad to keep him home from Jackie's today. :)

In all seriousness, Will is doing fabulous at Jackie's house. When I arrived today, he and two friends were sitting on the kitchen floor eating their pretzels and drinking their milk for snack. He has learned her routines, and is having a blast. That is such an answer to prayer!!!

Want to know how to get beautiful red lips like these???

Grab your Daddy's cup of Sugar-Free Kool-Aid and chug!!
