Sean's First "Real" Haircut

Sean has had several trims already, after all he was born with tons of hair and long sideburns!  Tonight was his first real haircut with the clippers.  I was nervous cutting it so short already; I don't usually care about hair.  Maybe because he is my last little baby....not such a little baby anymore!

Mountain Fun Part 1

Earlier this week we enjoyed some time in the mountains with Oma.  Sunday Ewan went up with Oma.  I believe it was his first night away from Jack since he was a baby.  It was his special Oma time and he seemed to have a good time.  Jack, on the other hand, was rather upset to be separated from his brother.  He woke up first thing Monday morning around 6:30 and said he was ready to go to the mountains immediately!!  I informed him he had to eat breakfast first and wait for Sean to get up....we were on the road by 7:50!!!

We had tons of fun as always.  The weather was spectacular.  It was so nice to be able to spend time outside again and not sweat the whole time!  We also really enjoyed the new screened in deck at the mountain house.  Sean seemed to especially love it too...crawling around like a mad man and screaming with joy!

We had a nice quick visit at Looking Glass Falls.  The water was very cold (which made me decided to skip Sliding Rock, boy that would have been FREEZING).  Sean once again LOVED the falls.  He really seems to get a kick out of waterfalls. 

Thanks Oma for such a fun week.  YOU ROCK!!!

Oma helping the boys down to the water.  Those of you that KNOW Oma won't beleive this one, but she's actually climbing down the rocks to the water.  First rafting in Montana and then this, you go Oma!!!

Mountain Fun Part 2

On Tuesday we went to Biltmore Estate.  We went to the barn to play with the animals and then Cedric's Pub for dinner, play in the courtyard area and ice cream for dessert.  Big night!!!

When we arrived at the barn it was just before dinner...and the goats and sheep let you know they were hungry.  Their very loud noise scared Jack off at first, but he eventually warmed up to the animals!

Mountain Fun Part 3

We went to the park every day.  It was so nice to be able to play outside again.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous and all the kiddos had a blast.  Jack and Ewan especially loved the tire swing (or Oma and Mommy's upper body workout as we called it)!!  Sean enjoyed the baby swing and climbing up the slide.  Jack and Ewan insisted on having picutes taken with their toys!!!!

All three together...mission impossible!!

Sean climbing up the slide...do you see the piece of mulch in his mouth?!

And for a flashback, here are pictues at the same train in this park taken in August 2009!!!

Jack hasn't changed too much, other than much taller of course!

And sweet Ewan!!!

Big Boy

Yesterday Jack graduated from the pre-school class at camp.  Next year he will be in the kindergarten class (though he won't be in kindergarten yet).  Our little guy is growing so fast!!

Today he also started riding his bike without training wheels in the backyard.  Where does the time go??

The graduate fell asleep in the car running errands before his ceremony!

Riding out back with Daddy and Ewan running behind!

Technical Difficulties

I took several video clips of Sean, but I'm having difficulties uploading them to the blog.  Guess ya'll have to settle for a still picture!  Sean is at the age where he seems to be growing bigger/older every single day.  He is changing right before my very eyes!!  My baby is growing too fast...

He is very into pushing his toy, also the kitchen chairs sometimes!!  He also loves trying to keep up with his big brothers.  They feed off of each other...now it's even louder and more insane with the three of them together!!  Good times ahead I'm sure; good times for them anyway.  Stress and insanity for me!

I'm still waiting for it to cool off here.  The boys and I are going stir crazy.  They really NEED outside time to run off their energy.  They just bounce off the walls inside!!!  Which of course makes me bounce off the walls.

Anyway, here is Sean pushing his toy.  I'll try to work on more photos later. 

Sean Tidbits

Just a few random tidbits about Sean before I forget (not that I would ever forget anything)!  He is doing well of course.  The cut did not slow him down any, nor did we expect it to!!

Sean is now waving good-bye.  He is too cute!  Funny how the little things are so adorable.  My little boy is grown up so fast.  He even waves the right way...most babies wave to themselves since that is how they see people wave to them, but Sean actually waves the right way.

Sean is also now trying to oink like a pig.  He has a farm and it makes animal noises.  He seems to like the pig best because he tries to oink and it sounds so incredibly funny.  I've tried several times to get a video clip but have not succeeded yet.

Best run, the little guy is screaming now....
