First haircuts!!!

We finally got Ian and Alex's hair cut!  We were up in Ludington over the 4th holiday and so was Kathy so we asked if she wouldn't mind cutting their hair.....Alex did great as you can see below.. no tears.. Ian on the other hand hated the whole process - we gave in to feeding him marshmallows from the Lucky Charm cereal box to keep him somewhat entertained.  A HUGE thank you Kathy for taking on this challenge!!! She is amazing and so patient!!

Thank you so much Kathy!!! They look so cute with their new cuts!!

Now we have to try to keep up with keeping their hair short... here is to hoping each time gets easier!!!

7 years

My little (Big) man turns 7 today!!! God has blessed us so much with him... to watch him grow into such a loving, fun and caring young man.. it has been such an amazing journey. We are so proud of this boy. He is such a sweet kid!!

His birthday requests for today was to have breakfast in bed... so I made pancakes shaped into number 7's along with orange juice and grapes!! He loved waking up to me walking into his room with his tray of breakfast!! Then he had a choice to go to any restaurant he wanted to tonight and you know what he picked?? Hungry Howie's pizza and breadsticks at home and then out for ice cream to our local ice cream train - it's a train set up as an ice cream joint.. cute for kids and they have a lot of yummy treats!!

Saturday we have his official birthday party - he really wanted a rollerskating party so that is what we are doing!! It will be a fun day!!

A funny story.. Brevin just came back from a school friends birthday sleepover... he has a good time but he said to me that he didn't sleep well at all and was up from 2am to 5am... when I asked him why he told me that the boy sleeping next to him fell asleep on his arm... Brevin told me that he didn't want to move his arm because he didn't want to wake him up so he layed there the whole night with his arm hurting underneath this boy.... stories like this just go to show Mike and I just how sweet and thoughtful this boy of ours is!!! Always thinking of others!!

Happy Birthday to the best kid we could ever have asked for!! God has blessed us so much with Brevin and continues to do so every single day!!!
