How do you see how grown up your babies are...CUT their HAIR!!

 Bowen is all Mr Smiles and CURLS. We cut his hair once already and since the curls came back I really didn't want to cut them again. I LOVE them and I LOVE his sweet baby face with the curls.

The curls in the back are to die for too...But I did it again...

Chop, Chop

KAZAM!!

Who is this child?? Not my precious baby. Oh I love this picture but WAY too grown up. Ahhhhh

 Lukas has needed a haircut for a while but he says I cut it too boring! What? The clippers on one setting isn't "cutting" it for you, LOL! So I went on line and let him pick a hair style, approved it with dad. Watched an online tutorial and here we have it...

He wanted to make sure you all got to see his "muscles" if you find them let me know ;)

Ok, so I am really proud of myself and I think it looks really cute and not too "punk" right? Lukas loves it and woke me up at 0630 to do his hair. Oh bother!

The Binky Wars

Well before the move we tried to get rid of the binkies. After realizing we were making more than a few changes all at once I decided we would be rid of them after the move. Well he had one night in the new apartment and then kaboom missing binkies. The first two naps and bed times were a nightmare and I know our neighbors probably wanted to evict us but now we are a.o.k. Naps are still hard because it was his cue during the day that it was time to settle down. At night it is dark so he goes to sleep easier but we will find something to help him settle better. I am SO grateful the binkies are gone. You know the teeth and all and all the comments like maybe he'll take it to kindergarten...yeah we have heard it ALL lately! He is only 2! This was our first child that took one so it was such a nice handy thing to easily quiet the kid but now we just have our moments and are learning to adjust. he really has done great, except for naps. We really do have a big boy on our hands...

Bye, Bye Binky, We loved you so!

Trying to Catch Up

There are several posts that I just posted from June...we finally found ourselves some what settled in here in Cheyenne. It was a crazy July of traveling back and forth. We moved our storage unit in the beginning of July and then moved Spencer the second week and he started work the third. His job is the Network Engineer for the Laramie County School District #1. I am so proud of him. So far he loves his job and Cheyenne! The kids and I just joined him last week. I stayed and worked for a little bit, went to Texas to help my sister and then worked a little bit more. In between I got to chill with my sister Christina and cheer on the Olympics. We had so much fun but were ready to be together again after 3 weeks apart. I was living with Christina with the kids and Spencer was here. I will find more pictures and continue to update. We had an exciting wedding at the end of June and a nephew born end of July. Well here is my short update with more to come this week. Check out the new posts!

Uncle Justin Got Hitched!!...in JUNE that is...

The ceremony was beautiful and Justin ended up with really bad "allergies" because the spirit was so strong. It was so wonderful to see them so in love and be eternally sealed.

Of course waiting for the bride and groom is the worst for the kiddos and adults let's be honest. So we played photographer...

The Logan Temple

Our beautiful eternal family...squinting and oh so happy!

Mommy and Daddy 

Trying our luck at a Bagshaw cousin picture...this is by far the best!!! Kids were hungry and tired and well there are 7 kids and 3 of them one!

They're finally out!! So cute!!

Mr and Mrs Justin M. Bagshaw 

Only Count Bagshaw could make this bouquet look that good!

Boy cousins ATTACK!! The poor groom was so worried about the tuxedo!

Cutting the Cake!

A little uh...is there are garter or what? Grrrr

LOVE...need I say more! 

RUN....

It was a fantastic loooong day but well worth all the time and effort to show these two support and in return bask in their eternal love for a day. The groom was handsome, the bride gorgeous and the love they share perfect.

Wish the best for the happy couple!

Father's Day

Our Daddy is SO awesome. Happy Father's Day!

This last year of daddy-hood Spencer has learned to cuddle with his tender hearted daughter...she loves to cuddle! 

He also learned to "play dead" or wrestle I don't know which one. When Bowen jumps on him I think I would play dead too! Bowen isn't exactly "gentle".

For Father's Day Daddy got Frisbee golf discs as dad was in desperate need of getting outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. So we all went and played with Dad... 

MaKynzee taking a shot!

 Lukas' big fling!

Daddy showing the kiddos how it is done!

 We had a blast and hope our daddy knows how much we love and appreciate all he does! Thanks Daddy we LOVE you!

MaKynzee's Dance Recital

MaKynzee had her first "professional" performance with her new dance company DSDS. We are really going to miss them. We LOVE the teachers and the step up that it gave Kynzee. She did amazing!!!

Getting ready...

Our perfect ballerina! She has really been working hard on her positions and dance. She loves dance!  

Preparing at dress rehersal...all ready to go...look at that stance! And ofcourse you can see little Kira on the left. They are attached at the hip! They had so much fun...

 The second dance... 

We love our sassy little dancer. I don't know if she is going to keep dancing or play soccer now that we are away from Kira...she has to decide! She says something different all the time...we want her to do what will make her happy!

Museum of Clean

If any of you know my husband, he hates sitting around the house. So we decided last Friday to go to the Museum of Clean built by Don Aslett. It was nothing short of AMAZING and guess who was there to give us a tour...DON ASLETT. It was sooooo cooool. We are still not over it. He just handed me a book off the shelves and said looks like you need this. It was his book Is There Life Afer Housework? Heck yeah I need it!!

Don Aslett weighing Lukas and MaKynzee on a antique scales.

Because we were fortunate enough to be with Don Aslett we got the FULL tour. He took us up to "Big Ben" The clock tower in the building. Every hour it flushes instead of dings. I love it and it was super cool!

                      Back washer!~

Bowen "in" the Outhouse!

Lukas getting body vacuumed.

Bowen buffering the floors! Wish I could get this one to clean at home, he is all messes!

Totally LOVED this!

The basement had a boiler that they don't use anymore and they used this area to show how kids used to be chimney sweeps. Don Aslett dressed them up and put them in the chimney and when they came out he put soot on their face. It was cute. Bowen was not that excited about being in the chimney.

What a cute chimney crew!!

After the tour their is this HUGE play area with a life sized Noah's Ark...

And a place to do a whole bunch of cleaning! I want them to be this excited at the house! Squeaky clean!

Not the best window cleaner but the cutest! 

They had these glass tables for kid to color on and mommy made a little picture! 

Ofcourse mom and dad wanted a cute picture too! 

It was a blast and only $15 for the whole family. We could have stayed all day. Come visit and we will go the museum of clean!!!

Lukas Final Soccer Season in Pocky

Lukas was lucky and got to play with his cousin Brookelyn again and Aunt Christina was his coach. He seems to have gotten better about going after the ball but once he gets the ball he gets too excited and loses direction...

Go Lukas, Go!

Lukas is great at defense! He hops to be goalie next year...

 The team was Fire and Ice Sharks...GO SHARKS!!!

We are really going to miss Aunt Christina not being our coach but it was the last year that Brookelyn and Lukas could play together anyway because next year is 8v8 no coed.
