Goldie Locks

Alton's hair is getting really long. He pretty much has a mullet now, although you can't tell because it's so curly. He gets called a girl a lot because of his hair, even if he is dressed all in blue. People always comment on his curly blond hair, (where did he get curly blond hair when he comes from a family of brunettes with straight hair) and how beautiful he is. Our neighbor said that she couldn't stop looking at him because he is just so beautiful and has such beautiful curly hair. I love his hair and I can't stand the thought of cutting off all those curls. My Mom actually suggested cutting it since he is mistaken for a girl so often. I said that I didn't care what people thought. I know he's a boy and that's really all that matters. These pictures really don't do his hair justice. You'd have to see it in real life to get the full effect.

Smarty pants

I'm surprised sometimes by how smart my kids are. Orin knows a lot of letters by sight and all the numbers. He decided he was going to draw some on the white board.

Some of them are hard to decipher so I will translate. Starting at the top from left to right: 6, 4, 1, 7, 5, W, X, A, B. The picture is me. The lines coming out from the sides of my head are ears.

At church yesterday he wrote the word prophet by looking at the key to this puzzle. For only being 3 years old I was really impressed.

Little old man

After helping Orin get dressed he decided to put on his own socks and shoes. I thought he looked like an old man with his dark dress socks so I had to take a picture.

Teenie tiny voice

Alton has two things that he says now. He says "uh-oh" and "what's that". It's so fun to listen to him talk in his little tiny voice. We all love listening to him.

Party #2

We had a family party for Alton yesterday. He had a lot of fun eating his cake!

Alton's Birthday

For Alton's birthday we went to the zoo. This was a new experience for him since the first time he went he was only a few weeks old. He was so interested in the animals and had a really good time.

This was the boy's first time on a carousel. They have one at the zoo now.

Tuckered out!

Independance Day

We had a very busy and fun 4th of July. By the time the day was over I was exhausted. It wasn't nearly as hot as usual which was especially nice for the parade. We enjoyed the holiday and spending time with family!

Teya was a little sad that she missed watching the parade since she was in it.
