Hair Cut



Today started out just great! We got up had breakfast just doing the normal things of our day. When very suddenly it made a HUGE turn for the worst allow me to summarize the horrific accident that changed our lives....

It was 10:15 in the morning and Kevin needed a hair cut. So I was glad to do that for him. I was a little bit shaky because I had just gotten back from running but I was trying my hardest to focus and stay calm. I had his whole head done and it looked pretty good we just had to do the finishing touches. So I took all the attachments off of the clippers and I was trimming up his sideburns and neck. We were done but then I noticed that the back needed a little bit more trimming. So I go after that little patch of hair!! And I forgot that I didn't have any attachments on the clippers!!:) So I took a lovely chunk out of my husbands beautiful head of hair!!! I was horrified! Kevin froze, he thought that I was just joking but after careful inspection he realized that it was not a joke after all! So I had to buzz his whole entire head!! I was laughing so hard but at the same time I was crying! I feel just horrible about it!

Kevin has never had his hair buzzed before and I can see why, he has scars everywhere!! He looks like he went through a lawn mower! I am going to have to question his parents to see what exactly this guy did growing up! :) This happened with perfect timing too! Kevin is starting his work this week and is knocking the ghetto! Now he looks scary just like half the people he runs into! He is going to have to wear a hat everyday so that he doesn't look like a threat to anyone! When we first cut it I was really surprised at how harsh it made him look but as the hour went on I realized that it really wasn't that bad! Here are some pictures of the accident and then the after affect! :) I will be lucky if he ever lets me get near him with clippers again!:)

New Jersey

Thus far New Jersey has been great fun! We haven't really done anything but there is a Costco, Old Navy and Target right down the street, so it can't be that bad right? :) Kevin has been busy getting the office set up and looking for area to knock in.
While at home Cahlin, Eyan and I just hang out and we play with Cahlin's friend Mason everyday! It is an off day if those two don't get to be together! It is really nice that he has such a good friend here. On Sunday they held hands not only to nursery but also leaving nursery.
One of Cahlin's favorite things to do is to sing. He loves learning new songs and singing along with Kevin and I. When his nursery leader dropped him off with Kevin he told Kevin what a good singer Cahlin was and that he was the only child in class that actually new the words to the songs! Hopefully he will end up like his dad and have an amazing voice!!:) Oh and the rest of his family! :) We will leave my singing talent out of this story!:)
We haven't been able to enjoy any good weather yet we were hoping for warmth sense we didn't get any in Utah. But the cold just loves us so much it decided to move to the east with us! How lucky for us! :)
Eyan is getting bigger every single day! He loves to look at Cahlin, whenever Cahlin is around he won't take his eyes off of him. If I work very very very hard I can get him to smile. I even almost got a giggle out of him the other day! But he is very new to this new emotion and working those little muscles to create a smile so we must be patient for a bit and we can hopefully catch one on camera! :)

Easter


Ok so we didn't have the internet over Easter and now we have it. So I am trying to update as much as I can. Easter was of course even before we started this blog. But I wanted to document Cahlin's first Easter that he actually had fun! In the prep for coloring eggs. We were trying to be very careful. Needless to say we managed to spill the green coloring everywhere! That is why he is half naked in all the pictures!

Blessing Day




We were leaving for New Jersey 3 weeks after Eyan was born so we needed to bless him before we left. We blessed him on April 6, 2008. It was general conference weekend. Kevin's parents and two of his sisters came for it and also my Dad and Mom and her husband. Along with the relatives that already lived in Salt Lake! After the blessing we went over to my brothers and had breakfast and watched Conference it was great! It was really good to have the cousins play together. Cahlin loves his cousins so much I was really glad that he got to play with them one last time before we had to leave for the summer. Eyan was pretty small when we blessed him so his blessing outfit was kind of hard to find this was the smallest one we could get and it actually turned out really good. I liked it alot.Here are some pictures of the blessing the first is of Cahlin it is a little bright but he looks so cute! And the rest are of the belssing.

Here at last!

Finally after 3 1/2 days we have arrived at our new home! We are so excited to be here and start this new adventure for our family. Cahlin and Eyan did very well. Cahlin was very patient and just had a great time singing, coloring, reading and watching movies. Eyan did great as well, he was actually a bit more impatient then his brother. I thought he wouldn't even care but it turns out he is not a huge fan of his car seat! We stopped Sunday night at Uncle Alan and Aunt Lynette's house in Kansas. Cahlin was so excited we couldn't get him settled down until 10! Jake is super cute and has just a tiny lead in size on Eyan!:) Tomorrow I will get the camera out and get some pictures for you all to see our new home and life!
