Benson Gets A Hair Cut :(

Last Saturday, Jut decided it was time to cut Benson hair. We have been going back and forth over cutting his hair for the past two months. Either way, when it came down to it, it was not an easy thing to do. It was very sad to watch all the beautiful curls fall to the floor and Benson was not at all excited about the razor. I am very glad I did not try to cut it on my own because it was definitely a two person job. Jut had to hold his head still while I tried to cut it. He did a lot better with the scissors than he did with the razor. After we finished he no longer looked like my adorable baby boy, his hair cut aged him and he looks much older. He is now my adorable little toddler. :( Time passes too fast.

Ava"s Birthday and Tutu Party

Ava turned 4yrs old on December 1st. I can hardly believe that my little girls is getting SO BIG. She loves to help me cook, and clean (but only when I am helping) and she is turning into quite the little girlie girl. Lately she has been doing her own hair. She will brush her hair and get it wet so that it is curly and then she will come find me and tell me "Mom aren't I so beautiful". Then she will cock her head to the side, bat her absurdly long eye lashes, and smile. She is such a blessing and we are so grateful to have her in our home.

Like I said, she loves to "help" me cook.


This was my attempt at a castle and I must admit it wasn't much of an attempt but she loved it and that is what counts. Ava loves anything princess, pony, pink, etc.... and she loved getting a Mulan princess doll and pink princess cell phone.


Ava is best buds with our neighbor Ed, he is like a second grandpa and he spoils her. This is one of the toys he gave her for her birthday.


A few days after her birthday, my friend Jen and I got together and did a joint "Tutu" party for Ava and Elise. Elise turned 2 on Nov. 28th and since both of them love to dress up we figured a "tutu" party would be perfect. We invited all the little girls in the ward and gave each of them a tutu made of ribbon. We colored princess pictures, decorated cupcakes (with pink frosting), danced to music and played Ring Around the Rosie. We had a great time.

Funny kid question

So last night on my way home Natalie sitting in the back of the car asked me if Jesus controlled our farts?.... Needless to say an interesting conversation followed. Gotta love her.
