Recent Things and Things To Come

Yesterday was a busy but fun day.

It did start of on a lazy note which I always enjoy.

Shane got up and went to play air soft shooting for a few hours while Lilly, Noah and I napped and just rested all morning. Then when Shane got home we all went out to lunch. It's kind of like our new family tradition to go out to lunch or breakfast on Shane's day off. Since we spent so much time apart or stuck in the house. Its just nice to get out together.

After lunch we took Lilly to get some new shoes. She was in some desperate need of sandals and play shoes. At first she cried because she didn't want me to take off "Lilly's shoes!!" but then when she saw all the cute new shoes she didn't have a problem with it anymore.

Then we took both the kids to get their very first official hair cut. Lilly got her hair trimmed and got a few bangs cut so they would stay out of her face. She did a great job holding still and was a very big girl. Unfortunately there are no pictures because she was sitting on my lap and Daddy was in the car while Noah was sleeping.

Then it was Noah's turn. He was not quite as still as Lilly. Since he is a jumping man and LOVES to play with everyone, he refused to hold still. And when the clippers were turned on he cried. So we ended up cutting his hair with scissors which took longer. But it all worked out. I think we cut probably 2 or 3 inches off. It was crazy how long his hair was!! But it looks so good now. And today everyone at church kept saying how much hair he had. I just laughed. Knowing that all of his hair was actually now in the trash.

After the haircuts, we went and got ice cream since Lilly was such a good girl. Then we went home and my sister came over to baby sit so Shane and I could go on a date. That was super nice. We went to a movie and then out to dinner.

As we waited for the movie to start and while we ate dinner we got to talk about church history and Joseph Smith. It was really relaxing and wonderful to just have some personal time with the man I love.

Another awesome thing this week... Noah out grew his infant carrier so he was upgraded to Lilly's convertible car seat and she got a new one. Now Noah travels in style in the Britax Marathon and Lilly travels like a QUEEN in the new Britax Frontier. Which I might add is by far the coolest and safest and nicest car seat/booster chair I have ever seen. It's worth every penny. Since my car accident, I'm a bit more interested in car safety than some might be. So I make sure the car seats I get are super safe. And these do NOT disappoint. VERY COOL! Only downside now is having to carry Noah everywhere.... but then, it wasn't very cool lugging him around in the infant carrier anymore anyways... just way too heavy. My hands are all calloused and I would always have a knot in my arm.

This coming week is going to be crazy. Tomorrow I go back to school. It's a computer programming class. Gonna learn some XHTML programming. It's the start to getting a Graphic Design Certificate. Then Noah also has therapy and re certification. He also has to go back and have his labs drawn again. Then on Saturday I'm participating in the Susan G Komen 5K run. It's my first ever. But I gotta support Leeann and her Mom. So that should be fun too. Busy busy busy. Just trying to get out and enjoy life. I just hope the weather plays along this week.

Much love to you all!
