she just couldn't do it. 

she is such a silly girl.

she is getting so big.  i can't believe she is going to be three.

she is potty trained.  she wanted to have undies on one day and we let her.

she is always making us laugh.

we are so glad to have this sweet girl in our family!

she is so beautiful and sassy.

she is teaching her mom MUCH patience and unconditional love.

i love her.

olivia took a dance/ballet class too.  she LOVED it.

they put on a little "recital" on the last day of class.  so we got to watch.

olivia is always wanting to turn some music on and dance. 

he favorite show on tv is "so you think you can dance".

she is working on a mean robot right now.

olivia did great and her and olivia will be taking a gymnastics class in the new year!

"hair cut"

i didn't know if i really wanted to.

this is his cute hair before.
isn't he so cute.

awww! i just love him AND HIS HAIR.

here is the damage. brett said he would "just take a little off the top".

note to self: don't believe brett when it comes to hair cuts.

yeah.

"a little off the top"

it's all gone!! gone!

even with NO hair.

proud dad.
