First Haircut

Grant got his very first haircut last Thursday at a place called TikiCuts for Kids. This place was wonderful as the women that owns her own business does nothing but cut kids hair and has been doing this for 10 years. The place was adorable as it was set up like a Tiki Hut with toys to play with for the kids while you wait and a really cool truck to sit in while they get their haircut. Not only do they get to sit in a really cool camo truck they get to watch their favorite cartoons on television that is positioned right in front of them while they get clipped! At the end of the haircut she saved his first locks and a certificate as a keepsake for his first haircut and amazingly he did really really well!!!! No meltdowns!

A bad progress report

Well to fill you all in Rachael just received her progress report this past week and well.....things are not looking so good. She received an F- and a D on two of her subjects (History and Language Arts) and once again we have pulled her out of Cheerleading for the next two weeks. I think Brian may be going through a mid-life crisis as he is very frustrated. We stayed on top of her last report card and we were looked at like "monsters"and horrible parents in the eyes of Rachael but the work payed off when she received her last report card. So we decided to give her a little bit more slack to prove herself that she alone can do this and gave her some space....and well it back fired on us.....so Brian once again is back to what we were doing last time which is giving her no slack and currently no freedom until once again she can prove that she can get back on track. He is meeting with her teachers next week for a parent teacher conference in hopes that we can gain more information on how to help Rachael. Please keep us in your prayers as we are going through a really tough time with her.

More Pictures of our Michigan Trip

Halloween with Grammy and Poppy!

Well this year we spent Halloween with Grammy and Poppy! We had fun dressing up like a pirate and visiting and getting into EVERYTHING! Grant managed to break a ceramic pumpkin that Grammy had and if your asking "did he say he was sorry......the answer is no" (of course he doesn't know that word yet and will probably be the last one he finally learns!) Here we were having a great time in the quarter machine (It was an IceCream Truck with music and buttons!) after a while the music begins to sound creepy.....lol WE HAD FUN!

Ridin on the "Hov Around" and playin with cousins in MI.

Yes you guessed it it's amazing what a "Hov Around" can do...I think Grant and I could have some good times on one!

Here you see some footage of Grant with cousin Mitch and your first glimpse of Grant being mean! (yeah right)

Fall in Michigan

Brian and I decided to travel to Michigan to see some of Brian's family and visit for a few days. I was not sure how Grant would do on this trip since this is the farthest he has been and longest he would have ever ridden in a car.....and he did GREAT! I had snacks, drinks, blankets, plenty of DVD's and anything else I could think of for possible meltdowns (for both Grant and Brian...lol) and I didn't need any of them because he slept the ENTIRE way. Of course we left after his last little sippee cup of milk he has at night and the rest of the way was very silent....so it was a very silent night of driving. So once we arrived in Michigan we did a lot of visiting, a lot of reminiscing (well Brian did), and etc. We saw Grandma and Grandpa Hungerford, Aunt Mary and Uncle Scott, Mitch, and Will (and both of their families) and Grandpa Mecomber and Joyce. We had a good time and we miss you all! Here was some footage from our trip!
