$10 Kid Cuts

We sure miss living closer to Aunt Adrienne! Chase's hair was getting really long & shaggy so we had to splurge & take Chase to get his first haircut in a shop. Boy are we spoiled to have Adrienne cut it for us in Grandma's kitchen!! Chase loves getting his haircut, so it was no surprise that he was so good...he didn't make a peep the whole time!! The girl cutting his hair thought it was weird he wouldn't talk to her at all...but he is only 2, I guess he's learned not to talk to strangers....so he looks so nice and handsome and then they give him a sucker and his face is covered in blue sticky sucker syrup, and ruined the cute face!! I'm sure in a few months we'll be back to eating dirt & grass!
He may be shy at the beauty shop, but he is not shy when it comes to the camera!! He just smiles and says CHEEZ like he's paid to do it!!! Then he sits down and poses, all the while saying, "smile...cheez!" He is at such a fun stage right now. He is saying so much-his latest word is 'noise'. We are getting really excited for his birthday in a couple weeks! Can he really be 2 already?

Winter Wonderland

For my Texan, Californian, St. Georgian friends and family that are missing out on the beautiful snow....this post is for you!!! If only I could call in sick and play in the snow with Chase, he is loving eating the snow!!! He will follow Chad around and eat the snow off his pants & shoes-! I really really love fresh snow! I think it is the most gorgeous looking of all seasons! Emphasis on fresh snow...after a few days of snow plows pushing blackened snow on to the sides of the road and it freezing there at -2...I'm back to wanting fresh powder again. I haven't skiied in several years, but after 15 inches on Monday I am really getting the urge!!
This is the view out our back windows, the ruby mountains are some of the most rugged terrain of mountains, I've heard people say they should have been part of the rocky's. Kind of odd they are in the middle of flat nevada? We love being so close to them!!! Now who can argue with this scenery?
