First Haircut

While we were in Hawaii we gave Breanna her first haircut! Yes...I put it off for 19 months and I would have let it go longer then that....but it was getting way too crazy looking.

I'm very happy with the result. Before the cut she had tons of cute curls but like 4 or 5 super long stringy hairs that resulted in a mullet like hairstyle :)

So...anyways all we did was snip off the 4 hairs, but it has made a huge difference! For months I haven't let Breanna wear her hair down, always up in pigtails or a ponytail b/c I didn't want it looking like a mullet...but now it looks super cute up or down. I can have her wear her headbands and clips again and let the cute curls just hang!!

Here are pics of the process. We had her grammy feed her ice cream while I brushed and cut her hair...what royal treatment!!





End result of haircut, i like it!

Gecko Heaven

We still have 2 days left, this is the longest vacation I've ever been on and I'm loving it. So far we have accomplished quite alot on our vacation...including having lots of fun.

Breanna's FAVORITE part of the vacation is.....Geckos!


She has been intrigued and amazed by these little guys since her Grampy introduced her to them at their condo. All day and night she wants to look for geckos. We found the best place ever was the Turtle Bay Condo and the road going to the temple which had multiple geckos at each lamp post up and down the ENTIRE road! Wahoo!

At the condo at turtle bay there were about 5 geckos that would show up each night on the window....Breanna would look for them all day too! She's getting really good at saying gecko, you can actually understand it, unlike most of her other words.

Grampy and Grammy took Breanna gecko hunting while they were out here and she just was in the most fantastic mood if she is looking for them...even if she is beyond exhaustion from all the going, going, going we've been doing.

Her great-Grandma and great-Grandpa went searching for a t-shirt for her that had a gecko on it before they left Hawaii....they found one after a lot of looking. Well, she has worn it quite a bit since then, carries it around with her if she's not wearing it and sleeps with it in her crib at night.

I convinced her to go to bed tonight....with NO CRYING...because she got to take the gecko t-shirt to bed! so cute! (Thanks for the fantastic present G and G!)

Anyways, I will be posting more when I get back and download my pictures on my new camera my parents got me for an early b-day present, yipee!

Breanna's first movie

I love summertime because there are so many family friendly and free activities. Here in Washington and in Colorado there are free children's movies at 11AM on a weekday. While visiting in Colorado the grandparents brought Breanna (and cousins) to a movie.

It was her first movie in a theater and I believe she did pretty well for her first time! She only lasted about 40 minutes, but that was pretty great! She only sat still for about 15 minutes and then walked back and forth between the 6 of us the rest of the 25 minutes she lasted. Then I took her out in the hallway and let her run wild for the next 40 minutes or so.

Fun times! I was impressed, they even had booster seats for the little ones so that they could see the movie better.

As you can see in the pic, Breanna's favorite part of the movie was her new favorite snack....Popcorn! Now the bag is almost as big as her, but that didn't stop her from chowing down!
