Freaky, but cute

After I got the kids off to school, I walked into my hallway for something, and saw this on Blake's bedroom door. It kind of startled me at first, but I looked at it a little more and saw how cute this really was. Blake put his Spiderman costume on the door, in perfect form, even to the Spiderman slippers. He couldn't get the gloves to stay on, but as you can see they are right by the costume. He's been dressing up as Spiderman a lot this week, I think it is because we just recently bought Spiderman 3 for him, hehe. He has been doing an army crawl all over the floor of the house. He LOVES Spiderman. He goes through fazes of who he is really "into" but at the moment, we are back into Spiderman. I just thought this was too cute, so I had to post.

Wisdom teeth

I am sitting here in pain and HATING wisdom teeth. I have been sore for well over a week. This particular tooth has been coming in for a couple years. It will grow for a while, leaving me in pain, and then stop for a few months and then grow more, etc... I grew up going to the dentist and my other three wisdom teeth have all been pulled by a dentist. Since my last tooth, I have really gained a lot of faith. It is still SO tempting to go to a dentist, I know it will be practically painless to have the tooth "extracted." But at the same time, I think, ya know if I give in now, God will try me with something else (to make me a stronger person). I want to have TOTAL faith that I could go to my father-in-law and with the help of God, we could get that tooth out of there and I wouldn't have to go through this pain anymore. I'm just really scared of something going wrong. I really do need to get this tooth pulled, it is growing outward (like towards my cheek/jaw). SO PLEASE pray for me that I will have a peace of mind that I can go have it pulled with faith that God will help the person pulling it. And any feedback from others that have been in my shoes would be GREATLY appreciated ;) But please remember me, I really need it!

Bald Blake

As requested by Trina, here is the before and after photos of Blake's haircut DISASTER.

I took this picture a few days before the haircut, not even knowing what was ahead of us!

Here is the end result of me trying to do it myself. HEHE, he's making the same face though ;) And look at those CUTE little dimples! Again I'm so sorry Blake! This won't happen again!

Mom and Dad's Anniversary

Today is my mom and dad's 43rd anniversary. As you all know, Dad is not here to celebrate it. He died shortly after their 40th anniversary. They were very much in love. They were GREAT examples of a happy marriage, and I hope Ryan and I can be good examples of a happy marriage to our kids and others that see us. We are definately doing great! But here's to the many wonderful years my parents did get to spend together.

I'm a HORRIBLE mother!

I feel SO terrible tonight. Blake's hair was getting so long and I was going to go and have his hair cut this weekend. Well, Ryan wanted to do a lot of stuff this weekend and time ran out. I had been watching the many people who cut his hair before and thought it looked pretty easy. So I decided to give it a try. Yeah, it did not look good at all! So Ryan tried to fix my unevenness and kind of cut too much and I was forced to have to shave Blake's hair :( I hate shaved heads so much and did NOT want to do this to him at all! Well he had tons of hair all over his back and all over so I took him to the bathroom and started bath water. In the meantime, he saw himself in the mirror and literally started bawling. I told him that he would have hair again and very soon. He quit crying, but is still VERY UNHAPPY about it. I told him I would NEVER try to cut his hair again, I would from now on go to the people to pay them to cut his hair. I'm SO SORRY Blake!
