Haircut

The before picture but I little bit longer.

Simon has been refusing a haircut because he likes to "shake" his hair. We convinced him a little haircut would still let him shake it. We wanted him to look cute and be able to see on his upcoming birthday.

Simon did NOT co-operate. He screamed til his faced turned red while I held him on my lap (with no cape) and Isaac moved his head occasionally while she snipped around his ears. He has no interest in the movies or fun chairs. He screamed ouch ouch even though it didn't hurt. He usually does great but not today. After his nap he told me he was bad and cried when cutting his hair. At least he knows what he did was wrong. The lady cutting his hair did a great job, I have no idea how but it turned out good.
He is in the I don't want my picture taken phase...so this the best I could get:)

Janna's mini Manicure

During Simon's hair cut, Janna got her nails painted. So pretty!

School Supplies

Saturday we went out and got school supplies for Janna. This doesn't include the teacher's wish list that we should receive soon. Simon picked out a few supplies for himself at home.

Family Pic in July

For those who know me well, I love getting family pictures whenever I can. Here is our July picture!

Weekend

Last weekend we went to visit my parents. We went to my cousin's wedding on Saturday and were there most of the day.
Cute favors at the Wedding. Mark just opened his own garage.

The first dance!

Then on Sunday my mom and I took the kids to the Zoo. It was hot but fun. We got to see the animals we missed last time. We rode the train, had an icee and soft pretzel, played on the playground. We saw the snakes and elephants again. We saw the penguins, baby chickens, giraffes, loud monkeys, and goats. I didn't take the camera but just enjoyed the time. The kids were very well behaved and my mom treated them to a gift from the gift shop. Simon got plastic snakes and stuffed baby elephant. Janna got a pink penguin and squirmies.
We played in the pool on Saturday and Sunday. We all had a nice time:)

Sponge Balls

I found these on Pinterest (which I love)!

I was really proud of myself for making these cute sponge balls for under $3.00. So far the kids really haven't played with them much, but I like them:)

The Kids

I love this picture of the Simon and Janna.


After looking at it, I understand why strangers ask if they are twins.

Janna's First Dentist Appointment

Janna had her first dentist appointment today. She was very excited. I think everyone knew she was going to the dentist. She did a great job. At first she was scared to lay down on the table but after a few minutes she pushed my hand away and said I don't need your hand anymore.

The doctor mentioned how much she talks and how cute her voice is.

Dr. Wheeler and the Dental hygienist BJ said her teeth look great! Good job Isaac for the good brushing. She does have one cavity in the very back of her mouth between the two molars. This not from lack of brushing, only flossing could have prevented it. We go back on Wednesday to get it fixed.

Janna got a pink toothbrush, blue toothpaste, a kitten sticker, and her favorite...her very own floss.

4th of July

Friday- Mom and Dad Hopper came down. We had pizza together and then went to the park for the Young Adult Ice Cream party. The kids had a great time playing.

Saturday-We went to the movie theater for the first time as a family. We saw Cars 2. The kids were great. It was fun to see their reactions. About half way through they both wanted to go home but they were fine a few minutes later. Simon loved the blue ice. They shared a bag of M&M’s. Janna liked the popcorn too. Afterwards we went out to eat at Logan for Dad’s and mine birthday dinner. Janna got a rose made out of foil with perfume on it from the waiter. Simon and Janna have fought over it a lot. She loves it. We walked around target and then headed home. The kids and I went swimming in our backyard then we had baths and bed. Simon got bit by a mosquito. I didn’t get him inside early enough. Ouch…it swelled as usual.

Sunday-We went to church and rested. Then we played for a bit. After dinner we met Mom and Dad Wilson and Eric and Rachel at Menchies for frozen yogurt. It was awesome. We had a great time visiting.

Monday- Simon slept in for the first in forever. He finally woke up at 9am, I thought we might miss the parade. We went to the parade. Janna was so excited about the candy. After the parade we went to the campground. We saw Michelle and the kids got balloons. We checked out some craft booths. We played on the elementary school playground for a little bit. Simon took a bad tumble down the side and scared me. After he quit crying he wanted to go again. I said no and he threw a fit. I did finally let him go down with me. The slide was high and I didn’t want him tumbling again. Janna loved and did great at the climbing wall on the playground. Pawpaw with no hair would be proud. We had lunch and then napped. Then we went to Grady’s 1^st birthday party down the street. Janna and Simon had a great time. They were hot and sweaty afterwards. Their favorite parts were the cake and the sticky hands in the treat bag. We did baths and skipped fireworks. They both were having a hard time sleeping so I let them watch a few minutes of fireworks on TV. Simon’s bug bit is improving. Once they are older I hope to take them to a big show.

It was fun weekend full of love:)
