Our Sunbeam and a Haircut

After several attempts...



This is the best picture we could get of Mackayla on her first day of going to sunbeams. She loved going to primary! With a lot more structure we think she'll enjoy primary much more than she did nursery. We're now working on learning all the primary songs that they'll be singing this year.

Bradley's hair was just getting too long, so we finally had to give him a real haircut. Jared wanted to do the cutting and he did a great job.

This is a before picture of Bradley's haircut. Just in the last few days Bradley is always wanting to sit on the potty after his sister uses it. Nothing has happened while he's been sitting there but he sits for a long time saying, "potty" poo poo" and "pee pee." He might not know how to use the potty yet, but he does have the language down.

Bradley had always been a hat-lover. Mackayla just got a couple new hats and Bradley proudly wears them all over the house.

Mackayla turns THREE!

Mackayla wanted a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party this year. We were still in Arizona and leaving that afternoon to drive home so her party took place in the morning . The night before her birthday she suddenly got really sick and we were so worried she wouldn't be able to enjoy her birthday that she had been looking forward to for SO LONG! Fortunatly, by morning she seemed to be feeling good and had a great time.



Mackayla loved that everything for her party that day was pink.
She requested pink pancakes for her birthday, topped of course, with strawberries.
(I know this picture is fuzzy, but I liked it anyway.)


It had been over a week since she opened all her Christmas presents so she was long overdue for more presents to open.

I think her two favorite gifts between Christmas and her birthday were a Doctor's office set and a bag full of "hair accessories" to fix hair.

We had cake just before we hit the road. She had a great birthday!
