First Haircut

Our little raggedy Andy finally got his hair cut. It has been a long time coming and I cannot believe how long we let it get before bringing him in...it's especially evident in this first picture compared to how dapper our little man looks now! And just in time for the holidays.

Of course his first hair cut had to be a special one and no one but my stylist, Ricky, would be allowed to touch his mane. :)   Ricky was so great with Cruz and little man did so well in the chair...he was so interested in what Ricky was doing that he barely moved an inch the entire time. Oh, and how handsome does he look now?

Cruz loved being in front of the mirror and watching the action

Ricky was so patient with him...and smart! The combs definitely kept his attention. 

Getting our hair cut makes us "so big!"

Love!

Little Mango's First Vacay!

This weekend was a BIG weekend for our little guy...and a weekend of many, many firsts!

First off, it was his FIRST vacation. A couple of weeks back we planned to spend a weekend in Panora, IA, with my fam...the Lynch's and my mama and papa. And we had a great time, just relaxing, eating, drinking and soaking up the last of the summer days & nights.

The other FIRSTS our little man experienced this weekend...

• first BIG climb onto furniture
• first time fishing in the lake...and holding a fishing pole (Nanu would be so proud)
• first parade..small town, Guthrie County parade...and it was awesome
• first golf cart ride
• first time on a carousel
• first HOT DOG (now this is a BBQ must)
• first time on a pony (@ the Guthrie County fair)
• first TOOTH started coming through on the last day!

Set on climbing up the bar stool
(love that he's on the tip of his toes!)

Wrestling...for honor

Guthrie County parade...go Hawks!

Papa and Mama...go Huskers!

He LOVES the parade

BEST giveaway of the parade...BEER!
Only in a small town will you find this.

Football baby!

Flag football game...the deliberation.
(I believe this was right before our Hail Mary play where I lobbed
a long one to Kayden and he sailed into the end zone!)

Waiting for some yummy Butterfinger dessert

Yep...that was the GOOD stuff

Enjoying the lake

Threading the worm...gross

Kayden was a bit nervous throughout...see the sweat on that noggin.

A great vacation with my fam. I can't wait to make this a recurring adventure every year...only next time we must have a boat!
