Trip to Ixtapa

We just got back on Saturday from a week in Ixtapa, Mexico. We went with the kids, my mom, Toby, Karla and Athena, and had a great time! The kids loved the beach. My best friend warned me before we went that the kids would eat the sand, and not to worry about it. She said if I spent the whole week trying to stop them, I'd go crazy. Well, here's a video of Ashley eating sand by the handful. Luckily, she didn't quite eat it like this on most days. And here is Tyler doing what he loved most, playing with the sand toys.

First Haircuts

We got the kids their first haircuts on Wednesday evening. We went to Snip-its...they specialize in kids haircuts, and I'm glad we did.
Things were going pretty well when we first got there. Ashley enjoyed her short wait on the bench.

However, when we went to the chairs, it kind of spooked Tyler, and he started crying. Here is Brent trying to calm him down.

Across the way, Ashley sadly watched her brother and started crying, too. This little picture is so sad, but I love it,

We did end up with cute haircuts, but not many pictures, because of the "ordeal." The kids got prizes of bubbles, which they enjoyed, but when the prize machine started making noise, that was about enough to send Tyler into tears again.
