Summer Haircuts

With the last day of school in the rear view mirror Alex was ready to shed his winter mane.  Now Alex already likes his hair short, but his summer cut is a #2 buzz.  He loves it!

Right after finishing with Alex's haircut, Dylan jumped in the chair for his turn. He was pretty excited for a haircut. Tara wasn't so sure about cutting off Dylan's hair though. In the end Dylan won out and now he has a summer haircut. Very cool!

Birthday Blowout in Park City

This year is a big year for Tara.

Yep, you guessed it.

It is one of those milestone birthday years.

The kids and I talked about different things we could do for Tara to help celebrate.

We could take her to Disneyland - Alex

What about getting her a massage - Kennedy  

I think Mom wants to play the Wii - Dylan

In the end, we chose to take Tara on a trip - to Park City.  We found a nice condo for rent and started prepping for our surprise present.  The kids were so excited to help me plan the weekend.  We picked out activities, chose different restaurants, and finalized the agenda.

The hardest part was keeping everything a secret.  The kids (and I) were so excited that it was hard not to spill the beans.  Somehow we made and Tara was very surprised by the whole thing.

Our weekend couldn't have been better.  We had tons of fun on all the alpine rides, the swimming pools, the park, the bowling alley, and just being a family.  It was a great trip and I hope it was a welcome vacation for Tara.

Mother's Day Moment

Earlier today the kids and I were making Tara breakfast for Mother's Day.  We had Kennedy making french toast, Alex was in charge of fruit, and Dylan - well Dylan was asked to get Tara something to drink.

Dylan what do you think Mom wants to drink?

Chocolate milk.

Really?  Are you sure Mom wants to drink chocolate milk?  I think you're the one that wants chocolate milk.

Nope, Mom wants a glass of chocolate milk.

At this point Dylan proceeds to make Tara a cold glass of chocolate milk.  Once he finished Dylan stared briefly at his creation and said:

It looks too full.  I better drink a little so it doesn't spill.

A few minutes later (while Tara was eating her breakfast) Dylan polished off his mom's glass of chocolate milk.  Pretty smooth Big D, pretty smooth.
