I broke down...and trimmed Terrilyn's hair. It was driving me crazy in the back how it was long with like 4 hairs so I put a little rubber band on it at the bottom and snip snip :( Terrilyn received her first haircut at 3 years and 4 months old. Then I just made it look more even. Here is her before and after.
This is how much I took off(thats a toothpick fuzzy picture I know sorry)
Then I got to looking at Alexander and Cameron and decided they need to be trimmed up too(hopefully Jeremy wont kill me for trimming Alex's he liked the curls...truth be told so do I but it was getting a little too long because people were starting to call him a her). Alexander of course needed his picture taken before and after.
And here are a couple of Cameron playing with the hose as I was cutting his(thanks to Terrilyn the photographer)

Graduations

Well Saturday Terrilyn had her "Stepping Up" (from preschool) shin dig. It was really cute the kids sang a couple of songs and then were given a certificate of completion. Terrilyn had a great year she had a bunch of friends from church with her and made a lot of new friends. Mrs. Louise her teacher (and Cameron's a couple of years ago) announced that she is going to retire :( and then Mr A is joining the Navy (Cameron also had him as teacher). We are sad to see them both go (I was hoping Alex would be able to have them also) but are excited for their new adventures.




On Monday Cameron had a little open house to celebrate his finishing of Kindergarten and moving up to first grade. They had root beer floats and then showed a slide show of pictures taken through out the year. Then Mrs Fontes gave them a certificate of completion. There was a full time aid in his class Mrs Carrie who was fabulous. Thank you both for your hard work through out the year and making Kindergarten such a great experience.

Seamus Talking

OK for those of you that don't have about 5 minutes don't bother watching this it was more for my mom's benefit to hear Seamus talk. And of course he was camera shy... he was talking up a storm I pulled out the camera and he shut his mouth. I am also trying out a new program so hopefully this works if your not able to watch it let me know.

Easter

Well we had a first for Easter since we moved down here 5 1/2 years ago...we had to wear jackets while hunting eggs instead of sunscreen. Crazy! It was rainy and cold, it even snowed up on Mt Lemmon. But it also meant less people at the park. The kids enjoyed themselves which was good considering this Easter Bunny was not prepared for Easter since everyone but the baby and I were supposed to be in Utah(canceled at the last minute due to scheduling conflictsat Howies). We met up with some good friends of ours (Will, Emma and Tyler) at the park and the kids were excitted to hunt with them and Buddy I think was glad for some help he was flying solo with the kids. They hunted eggs and played on the air toys(jumping castles and obstacles, etc) and met the Easter Bunnies.

My sister and nephew came over on Sunday for dinner and she brought over some candy filled eggs that we hid in the house due to a muddy back yard.

I hope that everyone had a good Easter!!

UPDATED

Ok so we were without our computer for 2 weeks because Geek Squad had to send it out to be repaired...one day we went to start up the computer and it had no power. So you need to take a look at the following 4 posts because all my pictures were with Geek Squad far far away, bad timing because just as we sent it off I was feeling up to sitting at the computer to post some blogs of blessing, birthday's and visits.
Enjoy!!

We celebrated Alexander's birthday a bit early before my parents went back to England. He loved his mini cupcakes...and really is enjoying his Spiderman electric quad that we all chipped in and bought him. He is currently obsessed with Spiderman and airplanes. Grandma found a little wind up airplane that moves along a puzzle path.

We blessed Seamus on the Sunday, March 22 before my parents went back to England. He was three weeks old. Jeremy's best buddy Brandon flew in from Kentucky and my best friend Jennica came down from Phoenix to be here with us for the blessing.

Uncle Don and Aunt Marlene came to visit after Seamus was born. They took dad and Cameron with them to a Rockies Spring Training game. One day everybody but me and Seamus went to the Desert Museum, thanks everyone!!! Especially since the trip home wasn't all that great with Alexander throwing up in mom's car three times in a row. Aunt Marlene also took us shopping at Kohl's for the kids super cute Easter clothes. One morning all the boys went golfing and had a great time. We really enjoyed all the stories you read with us Aunt Marlene :) Thanks for visiting us we loved having you here.

While my grandma was is town after Seamus was born we took some 4 generation pictures and pictures with great grandma. Now keep in mind that we did this the morning(7am) that she was leaving...so everyone but her are in their jammies still.

He's Here!!

Sorry that it took so long to get pictures posted but sitting at the computer has not been an appealing activity this last week. Seamus (SHAY-mus) Adam Lemon made his appearance to the world on Feb 26, 2009 at 7:57 am. He weighed in at 7lbs 10oz, and was 21 1/4 inches long. He looks nothing like any of his siblings, has more hair than they did and much to Jeremy's dismay he has dark brown hair. Its curly when wet but puffs out like a frizz ball when dry. This was Jeremy's last chance for a child with red hair, apparently Terrilyn's strawberry blonde is not red enough for him. I am recovering from the surgery well and he is adjusting to life outside of the womb beautifully. His brothers and sister can't get enough of him and love to hold him and caress his head and smother him with kisses. Hope you all enjoy!!!
