RICE CEREAL

Here is Jocelyn (the mother that she is) feeding Caden his first Rice Cereal. Jocelyn has been wanting to start feeding him for weeks now. Mommy has been stalling because it is so messy. Caden was ready and he absolutely loved it and ate it all up. Even with his sister feeding him. Good Job Jocelyn! And Caden too!


Yum Yum..... I love grabbing the spoon from mommy's hand and chew on it after every bite!
Here is just a cute one of Ellie Belly hanging out.

Hello Mini-Van

Well we did it. We got a new car this last weekend. I was kind of sad saying good-bye to my "Little Red Rodeo". It has been with me for some time and through a lot of fun memories. It was getting pretty old and having some leaking issues. It was also getting very crowded with the three kids and their car seats in the back. So we went to Minneapolis to look for a bigger car.
Here are the girls kissing it good bye.
This is it- a Honda Odyssey! We really love it. Hopefully it will last us a long time.
Ellie's favorite thing about the new car is its " Magic Doors!" Mom also loves that and the cool back windows!

Locks of Love

OK so I hate to post pictures of my self. But family has ask and Jeff is making me. This weekend I cut my hair. For most of you know i have had really long hair for a few years now. It is crazy how attached you can get to your hair. Anyway i decided i was going to cut it and donate it to Locks for Love. The thing is that makes it so hard is you have to make such a drastic change. So i put it in a Pony tail and walla snip snip - a good foot off my hair. My head did feel much lighter and we will be saving lots of money by not using so much shampoo and conditioner. But now i have to Style it? i have not done that for a while. Anyway i was nervous and i am sure there will be days i miss the long hair. But it will be good for summer and a fun change and it is for a good cause. right?
Before...........................................................................................
After!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a picture of the pony tail i am mailing in! Road Kill!
Not the best pictures in the sweats and it was raining out side so the hair is not styled -but you get the idea!
