So long, mullet

I love a lot of things about my little P Munchkin but one of my favorite things about her is her hair. It's been a long journey in getting what hair she does have, so you can imagine my reluctance to cut a single hair. But I began to be reminded of Billy Ray Cyrus in his "Achy Breaky Heart" days every time I looked at her, and that's when I realized it was time to get a haircut. So this past week, while I was in Dallas with the girls, Kassie and I decided to make a trip to Cool Cuts with the kids. I was a little nervous because I had visions of the cousins photo shoot still haunting me in my dreams, and considering she won't sit still for 2 seconds to let me brush her hair I had no idea how the hair dresser was going to manage actually cutting her hair. But I was pleasantly surprised. Besides the occasional "No!" and "Ow!" (yes, she would yell "Ow" when the hair dresser got even remotely close with the scissors) it was not a bad experience at all. P watched Baby Einstein, ate a Nilla Wafer, and 15 minutes later....no more mullet!! She ended up with the cutest little bob that's angled on the sides (for a mini Victoria Beckham look). It is precious! Now maybe I can get "Achy Breaky Heart" out of my head....

Long time no blog...

Okay, so I know it's been forever since I posted anything on our blog. But if you guys had any idea how crazy my life has been lately (and some of you do) you'd understand. Between showings on the house, getting locked out of my house (long story) and keeping up with the kiddos I barely have time to breathe. But alas, the girls are napping at the same time today! Okay, so Presleigh's not really napping. She's supposed to be sleeping, but instead she's wandering around her room playing with her toys, enjoying the new freedom that comes with being in a big girl bed. She has taken to the transition nicely though. We've conquered her urge to get up at 3:30 in the morning and roam the house like she did the first couple of nights. Funny now. Not funny then.

Anyway, so a couple of weekends ago Jason and I and the girls packed up and headed to Austin for the weekend to visit with Carly and Joe. Or Carly-Joe as P likes to say. We had so much fun going to the pool, relaxing in the backyard and of course, playing Guitar Hero once the girls were in bed. Presleigh had so much fun and Sydney, of course, was cool with whatever. She's a pretty laid back little girl. So, here are some pics to show the excitement of the weekend. You can see more on Carly's blog, Cherry Blossom Photography

All in all, it was a great weekend and we can't wait to go back!
