Well we finally did it.  And by it, I mean we cut Chase's hair.  We almost made it to the 3 year mark!  I would like to make a point that I was in no way pressured by my mom to cut Chase's hair.  I just knew she would enjoy being a part of it, so decided to get it done while she was in town.  I also asked Joel before we got it cut and he did say ok.   But, I think Joel would have much rather just let Chase's hair grow and was a little upset when he saw it. :(  I have a feeling that Rylen will go a very long time before his first hair cut and Chase may never have a second hair cut. 

Can you see how excited my mom is? 

A side shot of Chase's hair.  I would like to note that this is his hair after being washed.  It is actually quite cute.  It is after he sleeps on it that it took on the albert einstien.

The back was getting quite long.  Some of this hair he was born with!

And it begins.  I have to say I was much more emotional about it, than I thought I would be.

"Why are you doing this to me, mother?!"

The final hair cut.  I don't have a better picture of it yet! But will!!!  He was also more proud of his sucker than smiling and showing off the new look.

And not to be left out, a shot of our 6 month old Ry Ry.

Other notes:  Ry is so close to crawling and cannot be left alone! Chase is growing so fast and becoming a very good brother. He calls Rylen  Ry Ry and also his best friend...which make me very happy!  The boys are also sleeping in the same room!  And Chase is actually comforted by having "his" Rylen there. This morning Chase climbed into our bed (before 6!) and told Joel and I that horses live in a barn. And that he was not a cow. The next sentence was "I'm going to grow up like a sheep. Baaaa" then he bounced from me to Joel and we both laughed/groaned.



A Photo Shoot

We are going to be cutting Chase's hair soon. It will be his very first hair cut. Before we finally caved I wanted to capture it on film. And I wanted to get some pics of Rylen before he becomes a toddler.
I love this photo of the two of them. It depicts their current relationship. Chase fell asleep right before the photo shoot. So he was a little out of it at the beginning. He was being a goof ball and showing the lady his belly.

Rylen's First Bite

The food eating adventure has begun!

Doesn't he look so proud of himself!The verdict is still out.

Rylen Babbles

Please ignore my voice and focus on the cuteness that is Rylen. Oh, also, to view the photo you have to go to the blog. You can't view it through the email.

Growing up too fast!

So Rylen is almost 3 months. Amazing how much faster the second one grows up! He is starting to roll and is sitting up in the bumbo already. It is so bitter sweet. On one hand I can't wait for him to get more active on the other I know it is going to come faster than I want it to.

See! He no longer looks like a newborn. :(

My two burritos.

Chase may not be the most gentle brother...but he sure does love Rylen.

Mowing the yard with Dad. Chase rarely calls us Mama and Dada, it is all mom and dad.

That is pretty much it. We have been getting into a new norm...which involves watching our boys grow way too fast.
