Haircut time!

Well, I finally got around to taking Leyton to have a REAL haircut for the first time in his life. The kid has probably had 15 haircuts because his hair grows like a weed, but I've been butchering it this entire time. And, after forking out $15, I'm sure I will continue to butcher it in the future! He did great...however, he was sitting in a Jeep and watching a cartoon...how hard can that be? I also went to get my semi-annual haircut. I think the last time I got my hair cut was in October by my good friends mom who cut bangs for me for the first time since 8th grade!!!! Random post, I know.

Before the haircut of a lifetime...

During. Note the ZONED OUT stare at the cartoon.

After! Enjoying his reward sucker for being a model child!! Sometimes you look like an amazing parent and sometimes you don't. This time I did!! Yippee!

And, my semi-annual haircut with Evers and her bruised eye (she's a dare devil)!

My New Favorite Things

Here are a few of my new favorite things!

#1 - Knife magnet...LOVE IT. We have a small kitchen with very little counter space, so this is a GREAT item for us. It keeps our knives up and off the counter and it's extremely handy. Big or small kitchen, I'll always have one of these from now on.

#2 - Reversible children's apron that was created out of a mistake of mine sewing another project. I love this fabric and I hope my niece will too because it will be here birthday gift soon.

#3 - Baby bows for my sweet daughter. I learned how to make these recently and I love it! I made this one to match her Easter dress. Very easy and fun to make!

Friends & Family in Town

After 10 years, we finally got to hang out with our dear friends from college who were in our wedding (best man and bridesmaid). We all went to college together and unfortunately we live in different countries and getting to see each other is difficult, but we had a blast hanging out with them! THANK YOU for coming out of your way to see us!!!

Also, my mom and dad were in town last weekend and it was great to get to spend time with them also, of course. Leyton was VERY excited to see them and their dog, Mazy.

Laundry Area Makeover

Here is another one of our little projects we've been working on lately around our house. This is our laundry area that is adjacent/in the kitchen. Before there were two worthless shelves and a wooden clothes rod and now there are shelves and baskets to store all sorts of items in since storage is a little slim in this area. Love it! I got the laundry room sign in Omaha with Teresa and Victoria at Hobby Lobby - man I miss that store and you two girls! This is also another project that produced two boxes of items for Salvation Army!! Like I said in a previous post, more trips to donate centers in the near future!

Before & After

Before (I had just taken down the shelves). I took this picture on a very disorganized day for the most dramatic before/after picture I could get!!!
