Changes

I have to say, I am not at all against change. Change is good....most of the time. But, when it has to do with my babies growing up, I'm not at all for it! Today has been one of those big changes for me. I have went from this baby...(notice the flag and the funnel)
This is the back of that sweet head! I took this picture so I could remember these curls!!!
Gradual cutting off, in case you haven't noticed yet...(he still has paci mouth in this picture. I know I'm weird for calling it that, but his mouth changed soooo much when he quit sucking it!)
See all that beautifu,l long blonde hair...(sniff, sniff)
Over the summer a bit more got cut off...
...to this big boy! Today was time for a trim and he wanted short hair since, "I'm 5 now and you said I could spike my hair when I turned 5!!!" Boy I kinda regret saying those words!!! (and yes his shirt is wet because he spilled a drink on himself in the car.)
My Bug is growing up!
I do like his new do, it just makes him look like a little boy and not my baby anymore. Thank goodness Bryan is asleep right now because he'd laugh at me because I'm crying! I did fine while he got it cut, I guess it's just reminiscing thru these pics that has me tore up!

It's That Time Again

It's Upward Basketball time again!!! Woop Woop!!! Noah is  super excited!!! He loves Upward better than anything else he plays!!! And, I love it because not only do they get to learn the fundamentals of the game, but they get to have fun and not be soooo competitive!!! Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want him to be competitive, it is good at times, I just think it is good to have a more relaxed, laid back event!!! And at this age isn't it about fundamentals and fun??? Some may not agree with me here, but to each his own. Ha! And even more importantly it is played in a christian atmosphere and they get to learn a new bible verse and hear a devotion every week! It just amazes me, and breaks my heart, too, that so many children don't ever get to hear the word of God!! This is just a great time for the community! At the end of the "season" they have an awards ceremony and both years that Noah has played there have been 4 or 5 children to be saved!(out of 150 or so kids)  What a blessing! I guess I should say I'm super excited, too!!!
