See Hawk Dance

I decided to make a little compilation of Hawk's dance moves over the years...3 years that is.  He's a big fan of Michael Jackson or anything that has a good beat that allows him to shake his booty. He keeps things interesting!  Enjoy!

Scotlyn on the move!

This girls going to be a runner just like her daddy and brother!

The newest member of our family!

Please welcome Leonardo to are family! He is an itty, bitty turtle that Scott picked up at the dollar store. That's right, I said the dollar store. But he cost ten dollars, not one. I'm still trying to figure out how this dollar store can call itself a dollar store when more than half the items in it are over a dollar. I guess that is another post. The kids are really enjoying him, and we are hoping with daily workouts that he will be a ninja turtle soon enough!

The Haircut

So, Scott took Hawk to get his haircut while I stayed home with the other kids. I had no idea what he was going to have done to his hair. Well, he came home with.....

THIS!

The expression on Hawks face must have been mimicking my own! If the kid didn't look like a girl before, he certainly does now! It's like if the two main guys from dumb and dumber had a kid he would look like this! I couldn't take it... we had to go back and get his hair fixed! Every time I looked at him it was like nails on a chalkboard! Needless to say, we did go back and had them recut it! So, now it looks like......

THIS!!!

Much better! He better not be confused for a girl with this haircut! What do ya think?

Side note: Scott wants me to let you all know he did not ask the girl to cut Hawk's hair in that goofy lookin' first haircut! It's all good Scott! We love you!

Boy or Girl?

Our three year old son is now being mistaken for a girl on a daily basis! The kid is wearing cargo pants, spider-man shoes, and a superman shirt, and is still being mistaken for a girl! I let it slide when it was just elderly people and the mentally challenged that were making these mistakes, but now there are people of all ages and mental capabilities mislabeling our son!

Which brings us to the next question... To cut or not to cut? Scott is taking Hawk to get his haircut today, but hasn't decided if it will be just a trim or a scalping! So, what do you all think? I'll post a picture of the new do later!

The week in review - Numero 3

This post includes some more of the "hot spots" we hit near our home while my mom was visiting. We live near some very cool and historical places!

This first picture was taken at a church up in the mountains called Our lady of the Sierras. It is a beautiful catholic church with all sorts of statues and wonderful things to appreciate.

It's hard to tell in this picture that we are up in the mountains. It was a beautiful view!
Later that day, we headed to historical Bisbee. It is a very interesting, artsy, town. The people are pretty liberal, to say the least. But, it is a fun little town for sure.
Bisbee has a large copper mine. Out in front of their museum are some of the old items used for mining back in the day.
This is the mine itself. It is huge. Really quite a sight!

Hope ya'll can visit soon!

The week in review - Part dos

Here are some more pics from our trip to Tombstone. We'll call this collection "The Locals".

Mostyn and Hawk were a little hesitant to get to close to this gentleman. Hawk just finally sat down about two feet away from him, but we were able to get Mostyn to cooperate and the gentleman too.

This pic is taken inside the Crystal Palace where we had lunch. The older kids then played a round of pool with some other young patrons.
Miss Claire... always the diva!
This guy actually did a little jig when you got close to him. He had the boys freaked out!
I love this pic. I think one of these guys is supposed to be Wyatt Earp.
On a side note, when Scott and I were in Tombstone last, a little over 5 years ago, we had notice a very lovely she-mullet. (That's a female with a mullet) We even had it on video. Here again on this trip, I saw another she-mullet. Must be if you're a gal who likes to rock a mullet, chances are you're into old-time cowboy western historical stuff. Just a thought.

The week in review - Part 1

So, last Tuesday the two older kids arrived with my mom from Boise. My mom just left back for home yesterday. We had a great time while she was here, and we all woke up this morning missing the heck out of her! Here is the first post of many of some of the fun we had while she was here!

Scott had Monday off work, so we decided to go to Tombstone. If you don't know the history behind Tombstone I suggest you watch the movie. (We did right after we got home.)  It's an old cowboy town- home to Wyatt Earp and his bros. Here we are just cruzin' some of the old shops.

I love this pic of Hawk with the old stagecoach behind him. We even went on a ride, but not on this particular one. 
Scott had gotten out of line, so I had to hang him! Serves him right!
At least he looks cool in his coffin!
The kids had also gotten out of line, so we threw them in jail! I think their faces say it all!
Mom said while she was here she wanted to get a professional family photo of us. I'm not sure if this is exactly what she had in mind, but I think it is very fitting of who we are. Notice our lush 3 year old son! Scotlyn is even toting a baby sized pistol, but it's all good cuz she's wearing her christening dress.
We had so much fun! If any of you come to visit us we will be sure to take you to Tombstone.
