Old Man Head

Here is my sweet baby, with an old man hairdo. After a lady at church said, "Does balding run in your family?" I knew that something had to be done. I felt sad for sweet Levi that people would see his hair line and not notice his adorable face or dimple! He had some long hairs on the side that I would make stand up, and then you could really see the different lengths.


This picture is just ridiculous!


Before shaving:
Look at all that beautiful head of hair!!!



During the shave, not a happy baby.



Traumatized baby!

Afterwards: a perfect fade, good job dad.


He is still not so sure he likes it.

Camping in Prescott

It all started with a new tent from Costco...then some cots....and sleeping bags...and excited little boys...

Is 5 weeks too young to take camping? Most definitely.

We rolled into Prescott camp after 9pm, so it was dark setting up the tent. By the time we got firewood from circle K, breakfast food from Safeway, found the Lynx Lake campsite...it was late! Jared was the IDEAL boy scout as he used his flashlight to set up the tent and was very resourceful with all the set up. He taught the boys about what it really means to be a boy scout! I just stood around feeling useless.

Not too late for s'mores. I was worried about Isaac falling into the fire...and keeping him potty trained in the woods.

Despite Jared and my lack of sleep that night, we had a great time in the woods with our boys. I ended up sleeping in the CAR (a total of 2 hours of sleep) b/c Levi refused to sleep in the bag with me propped on my chest, as I had hoped. I kept on waking up the entire campground, so out of courtesy to them...I retreated in the cold to my upright chair. Jared had to deal with Isaac who kept rolling around and getting disoriented.

We enjoyed a nature hike, found a dead butterfly and met some nice fellow hikers. We stopped by Cynthia Patience's house too (who moved here from Virginia this last month).

I look forward to more adventures with the boys!
