Carson's New Do

Ok, so on Saturday I mentioned to Chad that we needed to take Carson to get a trim, just a little off the top,and around the ears. So, after going to lunch we stopped by the salon and they were completely booked. I thought oh well, we can just take him next week sometime. So, we get home and I am getting ready for the gym, and Chad says I can give Carson a haircut. I said ok, because Chad has given himself haircuts and does a pretty good job. So I told him to take just an inch off the top and sides, and off I went to the gym. When I get home this is what I see:

(the before)

All of his hair is pretty much gone! Tears were shed! My baby looks like a little boy now, not a baby. I guess Chad's idea of an inch is way different then mine! It's gonna take some getting used to. I kept saying his hair is gone, and Ella reassures me"Mom, he's still Carson."

3 Day Birthday

Chad enjoyed stretching his birthday into 3 days! We started out his birthday celebration, on Thursday night, we went to NYPD pizza with the Moody family to celebrate Chad and Barbara's birthday's. It was so yummy, and lots of fun.On Friday(Chad's birthday) we went to Uno's with the Huber family and some of Chad's friends. Can you tell Chad likes pizza:) Then we went back to his parents house for cake and presents. His mom made the best coffee cake, which is Chad's favorite! On Saturday, we went to the Dbacks vs. Dodgers game. (A present from my parents) It was so much fun, even though they lost, it was still a fun date night. Thanks mom and dad for the tickets, and for babysitting! It was such a fun-filled birthday weekend!!
