It has
been two weeks since my last entry and now it is time for catch up. Two weeks ago while we were outside fixing
our water feature, Xadia was inside giving herself a haircut. She looked like a little 3-year-old with a
mullet. It was really funny. I kept laughing because every child has their
day as a barber. What was really funny
was following trail of hair down the hall way into my bedroom. I knew something was happening. Then when I called Xadia, she came to me with
her arms crossed above her head. I asked
her to move her arms but she said, “no.”
I started to laugh as she stood there with her arms covering her
head. At first she looked confused and
then hurt. She started to cry. I grabbed the camera and took some pictures
of her first self hair cut.
Unfortunately she is crying in a lot of them. These are the good times of being a parent.

Look closely and you can see the botch job and missing pieces of hair.
McCabe
just lost his second tooth.
He loves
that his teeth are falling out because that shows he is getting bigger like the
other kids in our neighborhood.
He
(along with his sisters) also got a new bike.
They go to ride them yesterday at the Centerville Park.
McCabe was unstoppable.
I have never seen a 6-year-old love to ride a
bike like him.
He kept zooming past us
as we walked with the stroller.
When it
was time to go he had to squeeze in one more lap.
So Tim decided to race McCabe on Jacinda’s bike
while Jacinda stood on the back pegs of the bike.
To make a long story short, McCabe won and
Tim was feeling the burn in his legs as he was trailing McCabe.
Things like this make Tim a good sport and a
great dad.
Teagan
is getting closer to walking. He is
standing on his own and has taken 2 steps.
He is so cute. He is developing
little characteristics. I love it when
he says, “wow,” or when he smashes his face into a pillow or a pile of blankets. He is at the perfect height where he can hold
himself up and reach for things on the counters. I often find him crawling around with a
hairbrush.
Tim
and I had a beautiful experience yesterday.
Deborah Jean Black was sealed to her husband James Nicholas Hefner. I loved being in the temple watching the
special ceremony and feeling the overwhelming love and spirit. It is an indescribable experience. You need to feel it to truly understand. The bottom line is that there is a Heavenly
Father and he loves us beyond mortal comprehension.
I ran into Kathie Packer the other day. She
informed me that Kate, her daughter, is moving to Farmington. That made me so happy. It is kinda weird, I don’t talk to Kate because
we are both so busy but it is comforting to know that she is doing well and
will be closer to her family. I am so
happy for her. I feel that way about a
lot of people. Just because I don’t talk
to some people on a frequent basis does not mean I don’t think about them. So remember that when you are reading my
blog. I think about you more than you
know and I hope you are having a fantastic day and living a great life.
Tim
and Jacinda got to go on a date. They
went to a daddy-daughter hoedown for activity days. They got all dressed up in their western
clothes and went dancing and ate yummy foods.
Jacinda and Tim both had a great time but when Jacinda saw me she was a
little upset because she was the only one in a dress. The other kids wore jeans and bandanas. Regardless of what others were wearing I bet
she was the cutest girl there.
