Just a Trim

Katie got her first haircut today.  Goodbye lil' baby ringlets.  She wasn't too sure about the water spray.

But once she saw her reflection she decided this wasn't so bad.  Ms. S was super nice to cut Katie's hair at the big girl salon.  I got my hair cut too, but no pictures.  I'm not as cute.

Ms. S is laughing because Katie is mesmerized by her new do and won't look away from the mirror to let me get a good picture.

The glamorous "after shot" of the Oh So Drastic makeover.  Katie is pleased with the result and I think she looks less unkempt.  So it was a successful salon visit.

Houston, We have a Toddler!

We took road trip this weekend. The idea was to enjoy our family and the last waning days of summer. And we did do that - in between Katie's bouts of terribletwoititis. For those of you encouraging the creation of a lil' bro or lil' sis for Katie, I invite you on our next road trip. Yes, I do. Interestingly enough, K is smiling in most of these pics, but don't be fooled. She is smiling because she is masterminding her next plot to overthrow the unsuspecting parents.

Daddy and Kate say "Go Rangers!" at the Astro game.


A trip to the gift shop, and now we own a pom pon that doubles as hair accessory.



Wearing our mom and daughter sneaks to the game. Mom, want to take this to the next generation? I can get you a pair!


I took cuter pictures of Katie happily waving from the carousel, but I love the similar expressions they are wearing in this one. This was at the Houston Aquarium.


Yes, it was humid.

I know this picture takes my blog from a G rating to PG, but I can not resist! If that's not her maiden name, she LOVES her husband! This was on the road to Kemah. If I lived in her county, she'd get my vote. I wonder if her students gave her a lot of .....
All during our trip, Katie would answer any question we asked with "maybe." Maybe I will try to be more mature in the future. Or maybe not? Jon will probably start his own blog after this!

"This is my best prize ever!" That's what Katie said when her Daddy won this big fish for her on the Kemah boardwalk. Jon was looking a youthful 29 this night to the Guess Your Age Master of Ceremonies/carnie. Fish or no fish, I'd say being mistaken for 29 (as long as you are actually over 29) is worth the money to play this game. I can see how this is a gamble though. I wonder if the M.C./carnie is trained to guess low.
We were calling the fish Nemo, but Katie has never heard of him or his movie. She renamed him Nina.

Less is More, More is Less, More or Less

Katie and I have been working on these flower hair clippies for her and a couple of her friends. Each completed one had to be instantly clipped in her hair.



She wanted me to take her picture when she had them all attached. But she didn't want to stand still or look at the camera.



I told her she HAD to sit in her chair for one picture. Here is the look I got:

Bedhead's Back!

First Ponytail

Katie looked boyish in her Longhorn outfit, so we decided to glam it up. She chose this feathery hairband. Here are two pics of the most darling, and shortest lived, ponytail ever.

Does this picture remind you of anyone?



Remember Jon's hair fro prior to Katie's birth?
