Curls are Back!

Mommy sure is trying hard to figure out this whole ethnic hair business, and believe me she says it's not as easy as it may look. She has always said that I have a very thick head of hair, curly hair at that. Since I first started growing my hair out, Mommy has spent more time, and has put more product in my hair than her own. Well, after my second relaxer last December, Mommy noticed that the product did more damage to my curls than she originally thought, therefore we decided to resort back to the new growth, which is.... you guessed it, CURLS!

Since Mommy wasn't too sure of this dramatic change, Daddy took me to Auntie Teresa's to cut 6 inches off. If I had my way it would have been even a shorter, handsome haircut like my big brother Kameron. I love my new haircut, and that is all that really matters. No more pulling and tugging to get through my hair, and no more ponytails for me! Thanks Auntie! I LOVE IT!

Youth Track Meet

Well, since Mommy's motto is, "IF YOU HAD FUN, YOU WON!" we were all winners today in the Casselton Youth Track Meet. The oldest three participated in the Long Jump, Softball Throw, and the 100 Meter Dash. The youngest two participated by cheering on big brothers and sister, blowing bubbles, using color wonder markers, playing catch with their T-Ball, and going for wagon rides. It was a beautiful day for a picnic in the football field of the center track as well. As you can see above, Adrian placed 7th and Jayden placed 8th in the 100 Meter Dash. Not too bad at all for Jayden's first track meet ever. Kameron did great too, and although he was bummed that his name didn't get called, he told Daddy he's gonna try harder next year! Big brother who could sense some sadness in little brother, offered Kameron his 7th place ribbon to cheer him up a bit. GREAT attitude of both boys if you ask me! Looking back, it was a great day! Thank You Grandma for coming out to help cheer us on!

Singing to Mothers

One of the best presents I received this Mother's Day was the gift of my children singing in church. I wish I had been able to capture it on video, but just imagine the sweet sweet sound of children singing just about any song.... but put music to the following words and you've got one Mommy... shedding tears of pride and joy. Yep I'm one lucky Mommy!

Tune: London Bridges
vs. 1 When Mommy says it's time for bed, time for bed, time for bed, time for bed.... When Mommy says it's time for bed.... I OBEY!
vs. 2 When Mommy says eat all your food....... I OBEY
vs. 3 When Mommy says clean up your toys..... I OBEY
vs. When Mommy says, I LOVE YOU.... I LOVE YOU.... I LOVE YOU.... When Mommy says, I LOVE YOU.... I say I LOVE YOU too!

A New Look for the Boys Room

After Megan and Mommy painted Jayden's room a while back, Jack and Kameron requested a new look for their (former) white walls. Here is the finished look.... and the boys just LOVE their new sports room! Their favorite part is shooting baskets in the hoop right beside the door. Slam dunking has become a new past time in our house! Thanks again Megan! We LOVE You!
