Ian and the Mirror

I bought a Mirror for the living room yesterday at Wal-Mart,brought it home and propped it against the couch until Victor hangs it. Well, when Ian woke up from his nap he was absolutely enthralled with it. He gave himself a big kiss, waved and laughed at himself. It was pretty funny. The first few pictures are from that morning. Here are the pics.

Egg Hunt & Easter

On Good Friday, Ian had a playdate with Sabina and Gabi. Kelley was great enough to put together an egg hunt for them! She put crackers and treats inside plastic eggs and scattered them all over her front yard. We gave each of them a basket and encouraged them to get the eggs! Sabina went right at it, while Ian just stood and watched for a while. Then, Gabi figured out there were treats inside and just wanted to open them all. It was so much fun and I think they all loved it.

On Easter, we went to the Sunday morning service with my family and then went back to their house for Easter dinner! Ian got an easter basket with bubbles, books, socks and even a DVD! We tried to get an family picture and every time, Ian was uncooperative. (aka would start crying) So, we gave up haha. Oh yeah, we celebrated mine and my Dad's Birthday, since it was his Birthday and mine was the next day.

I hope everyone had an amazing Easter! I am so grateful for that day Jesus died for all of us and then three days later rose from the dead... the most important day in history. Enjoy the pictures.

The Last Month or Two

So I wanted to post a bunch of pics of Ian from the last month or two. He's growing so fast and doing so many new things it's hard to keep up! Enjoy the pictures!

"Toy Box" Fun

Ian was playing yesterday, while I was putting some of his clothes away. I turned around from his closet to find him diving head first into his box of toys. (which is the moving box we used to move his toys, it's his temporary toy box) I though it was pretty funny so ran and got the camera and started snapping.

Yes, I did it!

What did I do? I attempted and fairly successfully cut Ian's hair! I was thinking maybe I was a little crazy to think I could cut my 14 month old's hair, but to my surprise it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

I bought a whole kit from wal-mart. I figured, if I botched it too bad I would go to a professional and put that kit away in the closet. Not to be seen for a long time. The best place to carry out my crazy plan I thought would be in the bath tub, so he is fairly distracted. Victor, thought for sure as soon as I turned the clippers on he would be moving like crazy. Again, to our surprise it didn't even phase him. He just sat there and let me comb through his hair with these buzzing, vibrating clippers. His hair is still pretty fine so the clippers didn't do everything evenly, but I went over with some scissors and think I go it pretty even. Anyhow, here's the before and after picture!
