Haircut For Cam

Cam got a haircut today.  The top two are the before shots and the bottom two are after.  

As soon as he hopped up in the chair, he told the hair cutting guy, "Please don't cut all my long hair and make it short.  Just cut a little bit.  I love my long hair."

So, that's what we did.  We had the whole thing evened up, which ended up meaning he lost 2 inches in the back because it was a little bit of a mullet, and the rest just got trimmed up nicely.

We sure do love his long hair and we have no plans to cut it anytime soon!

Tenderfoot

We had a court of honor a few weeks ago and Jack got his Tenderfoot.  Cam was there.

And then he went on his first overnighter without Ryan.  I was super nervous.  They hiked in an camped and played games and cooked and then hiked out the next morning, for a total of 8 miles.  Jack really liked it.

Park Day

We took the little boys to the park the other day and they had a blast.  Griffin found a cute little boy that we called his, "park friend" and they played for a couple of hours. Non-stop running and chasing and screaming.  It was so fun.  Cam was the bad guy and he kept chasing them and roaring.  He also loved trying the monkey bars. They owned that park.  

We can't wait to go back again.

Sunny is 10!

Sweet Sunny turned 10 a couple of weeks ago.  She has always been a girly-girl and that has only increased over the last year.  She can usually be found in the bathroom doing her hair or practicing makeup ideas.  She is a total fashionista and loves everything about picking out clothes and making up new outfits.

She started 5th grade just a few days before her birthday and I can already tell that this is going to be her year!  She loves her teacher and her whole class.  She is always the youngest in her class and is usually ones of the smallest and most timid.  Not this year.  She has really come into her own.  Her peers like and respect her and her teacher thinks she is so funny.

I love that she is finally starting to come out of her shell.

Fun birthday present at her first ever friend party.

She choose to wear a fancy dress to her party because...why not?  She looked gorgeous.

A cute outfit she wore to school the Friday before her birthday.

For her first friend party, we decided to do, "Cupcake Wars" and decorate lots of cupcakes.  It was really fun.

All the cute girls at the party.  Sunny has an amazing group of friends at school and in the neighborhood.  Lila was over the moon to get an actual invite to the party.  Sunny is an amazing big sister and I so appreciated her letting Lila join in.

This was the day she came home with the news that she got voted to be the student council rep from her class.  She lost in a close race last year, so the victory this year was super sweet.  I am so proud of her and her accomplishments.  This is a huge deal for her.

Sunny had a great birthday.  She got so many wonderful gifts and really enjoyed her party.  She just continues to be a really amazing child.  We love having her in our home. She brings a calm, peaceful spirit into our home, and she really is the best sister I could ever imagine.  I can't wait to see what the next year holds for my Sunny girl. 

Right now we have Ensemble Festival coming up where she will perform two duets with her partner Isaiah, choir, piano lessons, and she is thinking maybe some tennis in the spring.  You never know what she might be up to next, but you can guarantee she will totally look the part :)
