i'm sitting here procrastinating. lol! i have a bunch of bookwork that i MUST get started on so i can get it done this week. but doing bookwork just DOES NOT sound thrilling!!! so i think i shall update my xanga first. you know, i HAVE to keep my priorities straight and get important stuff done. =)

so...the cold weather really set in around here recently. we had our first snow the other weekend. so crazy for october. decklin and i spend alot more time indoors now. i think he misses going outside, but it's just not always nice enough to go out. but we do have some really gorgeous days too.

yesterday i cut decklin's hair. i'd trimmed it before a little, but not cut it short. his hair on top was REALLY long and would fly around and glen just couldn't stand it anymore. so i decided to bite the bullet and cut it. he looks like a little boy now instead of a baby. lol..he was soooo wiggly. he knew something was going on on top of his head and he wanted to see. i was scared he'd wiggle just the wrong way and end up with a large chunk of hair chopped out wrong. but it didn't turn out too bad. thought i did a decent job for my first time cutting a baby's hair. =)

before...

after...

the sad pile of hair and the evil instrument of destruction...

decklin and i are home again by ourselves this week. glen took a load out to michigan and from there he's going illinois and bringing a load home. this weekend we have to go to va to load up a trailer with a bunch of dad's stuff.

anyhow...i gotta get some stuff done...so toodles!

i'm going to quick do an update. i can never seem to get around to writing much on here, so i guess i'll settle for just a little.

summer has sped by so fast! it's so hard to believe it's already fall! i'm definitely learning that once you have kids you better enjoy every moment because all too soon the moment is a memory. we've been busy. a few weeks ago we went camping with my married siblings. ahhh..such fun!! we always have a total party together. and of course the kids really enjoy getting to spend time with their cousins. decklin did really well. he was a little frustrated at the lack of place for him to play. i couldn't let him crawl around as much as he wanted because he eats EVERYTHING!

my baby is 6-1/2 months old. he never ceases to amaze me with how fast he learns things and all he picks up on. he goes anywhere he wants, follows me around the house, tugging on my legs. and he always has a smile ready for me, even if i've just disciplined him. he never holds a grudge. bless his heart. he's so hard to resist, even when he's being naughty.

a few weeks ago my sister inlaw and i took our babies to sears for 6 month pics. alot of you prob'ly saw these on facebook already, but for those that didn't, here's his pics...i was really happy with them!

decklin and his best buddy-cousin kyra...they're 5 days apart.

this weekend we're heading to sc for my cousin monica's wedding. we're driving down in the rv that glen and his brothers own and picking up doug and dinah and their kids on the way. also my mom and lil sis are flying in and so they'll be traveling with us too. i'm so excited for monica!! and it'll be fun to see a bunch of cousins again.

well...i should run along. decklin is sleeping and i wanna wash some walls.

oh, before i go i need to relate a funny story from last night. decklin had been changed and gotten ready for bed and then decided to poop once more. i, being lazy and tired of changing him, hadn't gotten around to it yet. well, decklin crawled past glen's nose one too many times cuz suddenly glen decided he couldn't take it anymore and was gonna change him. so he proceeds to strip the diaper off and immediately starts yelling for help. haha!! i just sat and watched, laughing... decklin is a terror to change anymore cuz he won't stay on his back, he just flips over and tries to crawl away. so there's glen, holding onto decklin's leg with one hand and furiously swiping at his butt with the other. and decklin is waving his poopy butt in the air and trying his best to get away. ahh...it was tearjerking funny!!!! i know...i'm so cruel to just sit and watch. but somehow...it just blessed my mama heart.
