So long curls...

We finally broke down and cut Grady's hair.  Such a sad day.  Now that they're gone, I now realize how much I liked his curls!! 

Not suspecting anything out of the ordinary, so he was all smiles!

 Last shot of the curls.

First snip!!  

Final look!

Lake House

Our sweet friends, Jesse and Renea, invited us to their family's lake house on Lake Palo Pinto this past weekend.  We had such a good time!!  The lake was beautiful, their house was beautiful, the food was outstanding....it was just a perfect weekend.  The kids just loved swimming in the lake, going for boat rides and playing with Jesse and Nea's baby daughter, Jacey.  If I didn't know any better, I'm pretty sure they could get used to living on the lake!!

At the bottom I attached two videos:  one of each of the kids jumping into the lake off of a big, blue floating mat.  Grady LOVED jumping off the mat!!  Once he started, we couldn't get him to stop!  Taylor did awesome, too.  Based on her experience at swim lessons, I really didn't think she'd be too thrilled about swimming in the lake.  But she did great!

Ready to hit the water!

 Two pretty ladies, Nea and Jacey!

 Such a sweet, sweet little girl!!

 Grady getting ready for the boat ride....he wasn't digging the life jacket.  At first he sat like a frozen popsicle, but he eventually relaxed and started enjoying himself.

 Taylor enjoys riding in the boat!

A rare shot of the entire family!!

Some serious fishing going on.  Taylor was using a princess fishing rod and Jesse was using a "Dora the Explorer" fishing rod!

Swapping fishing stories!

The crew!!

First Haircut!

While some of you might be wishing it was Grady that got the hair cut, it was actually Taylor's first hair cut!!  She was absolutely perfect.  She sat there like she'd done it before.  What's more, her hair looks very cute and healthy.  And per Taylor's request, it's still long!! 

 Not sure what was about to happen.  


Looking cute in her little cape.  

I think she held her breath as Dale made the first cut!

The end result!  Such a cute pony tail!

Speaking of cute pony tails!!  Ha ha!!
