Gavin's 1st Haircut
I took Gavin to get his first official haircut. In the past, I tried trimming the hair by his ears and at the back of his neck, but he needed a professional!

TAG - I'm It
I was tagged by two people so I figure I better deliver.
1. 10 years ago: I was in Utah going to school and having a fabulous time. My few years in Utah were some of the best. I have some awesome memories and had many fun experiences. The best part is that Tyrus and I knew each other and were friends back then so some of my memories are with him.
2. Things on my TO DO LIST: update baby books, order pictures (haven't done so in 7 months - you think I'm slow at blogging:-)), send latest pics of kids to Ty's mom, clean my office, finish the huge project I've started in the backyard (I didn't know that trimming our hedges was going to take so long and require so many trash bags), lose weight before we go to Hawaii (I've been procrastinating this one because I absolutely love food and sweets way too much)
3. Things I would do if I were a billionaire: Pay off debt and travel
4. Five jobs I've had: I'll start with my current job - 1. Travel manager for Univers Workplace Benefits, 2. Assistant to CEO for Basic Research in Utah, 3. retail job at GNC in the Orem,UT Mall, 4. Chevy's (it was a new one that opened in Orem and a bunch of us friends decided to work there. They had training that lasted about a week. I lasted about one day past that. I was told to keep guests drinks full, so I did. When I was cleaning up a table, their water glasses were full because I kept filling them. Well, I put them all on the tray and as I lifted it, I dumped the whole thing on me. It was very embarrassing to say the least.) I decided waitressing was not for me. 5. Installed home security systems
5. Six things people don't know about me: 1. I have a disgusting habit of burping loudly, however cannot burp on cue. It has to come out naturally 2. I'm very shy if I don't know someone and have to work hard to not be shy (if I know you then I'm not shy though) 3. I love butts. I like to squeeze Kylie and Gavin's buns because they are so stinkin' squeezable. I love Ty's butt. I wonder why mine can't be all muscle. It's so not fare! 4. I am very handy. I do a lot of the handy work around the house because I enjoy it. 5. I used to install home security systems - Tyrus would sell them and I would install them. It was a great job and had great hours and pay 6. I have always had a spending problem. I like to buy things even though we don't even need them. I am trying really hard to work on this though because I'm trying to declutter my house (thanks to Oprah) and know that I can't keep bringing stuff into my house.
6. Five places I've lived: Newport Beach, Rexburg, Provo, Orem, Jerusalem, Modesto, Roseville, Costa Mesa (I know, that's 8 places)
7. I Tag:: Jen Belnap, Jen Gilmore, Joanna, Brooke, Melanie and anyone else who hasn't done this yet.

Grass Sledding
We bought these snow sleds a few years ago and have only used them in the snow once. They have come in quite handy for other events though. Kylie has enjoyed sledding behind our house in the warm weather. No coat, hat, or mittens required. Tyrus is very creative in thinking of fun things to do with Kylie. I'm not creative enough to have thought of this. Anyway, they both love the outdoors and always have so much fun together.

Template/Background Change
Does anyone know how to change the background? I tried to change it and it just changed the background at the top where it says The Papa's.
I wanted to change the whole background, which I believe might be called the template.
Can anyone tell me how?

Disneyland Characters
We went with my sis and her kids to Disneyland today and had breakfast while Disney characters visited us. Kylie loved it. She meet Chip, Dale, Alice in Wonderland, Max (Goofy's son), Eeyore, Capt'n Hook, and Minnie Mouse. We took pictures and I bought an autograph book for Kylie so all the characters could sign it. The only character she was not too fond of was Capt'n Hook. She liked him from afar, but not up close. 
She was given a balloon and was in heaven. I think this is the very first time I've ever let her have a balloon tied around her wrist. I have a fear of the balloon popping and her choking on the pieces. I know it's a bit over-protective and crazy, but I can't help it, I just have that fear. I feel the same way about hard candies and choking too. Anyway, Kylie had a blast with her balloon. It got pretty annoying though. For those of you that pay money for balloons, I hope I don't offend, but why do people pay for balloons that just end up on your stroller handle and get in the way? It was knocking me in the head and was making it hard to fit through narrow spaces in the crowd. I finally deflated it. 
After the wonderful breakfast, we went on a few rides. After we went on the Winnie the Pooh ride we saw Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger. We stood in line and Kylie liked seeing them. She loves Pooh. She brought home a stuffed Pooh. I usually don't buy her things at Disneyland because it's pretty expensive, but made the exception today. When we got home, she put Pooh in her booster seat and fed him crackers. She is so happy to have him.
Gavin was a trooper today. He's sick with a runny nose and eye infection (I know, I'm horrible for taking him out) however today was so much easier than the past three days of sickness at home. At home he won't nap or sleep at all because he can't breath through his nose. He just wants to be held and is so heavy that my arm is ready to fall off after a few minutes. Anyway, I think because we were constantly moving and he was in the baby bjorn a good amount of time, it helped him sleep. He was a champ and didn't give me any trouble at all. It was nice to have the help of Sherrilynne and her girls too.
