First ride on the bike without training wheels:
We finally got around to taking the training wheels off the boys bikes. We have been waiting for them to grow tall enough so that they could reach the ground with their feet if they were going to tip over. It was really amazing. Hyrum helped them out a few times pushing their bikes while he held onto the seats but then they just took off. They had no trouble at all with balance or steering. We were really proud of them.

First cast:
OK, so the first bike ride without training wheels wasn't all perfect. Emerson was doing a great job but on his first trip down a small hill his chain came off his bike causing him to lose the ability to use brakes! He ran right into the side of a big metal dumpster. Thank goodness he was wearing his helmet!!! The x-ray showed a small crack in his arm bone, he will have this lovely cast on for about 2 weeks.

First haircut:
Julian's hair was getting a little too crazy, even for me. He has really straight, thin hair and so when it was long it would just get in his face and his eyes. Don't get me wrong, I loved the beautiful color and softness of his hair but at 15 months old I figured it was time for a cut. He sat really well for the first 5 minutes of the haircut. Then he sort of realized that something bad was happening and he burst into tears. I tried to console him with a lollipop but every time he opened his mouth to cry the lollipop would fall out and get covered in hair. After about 3 lollipops I stopped trying to get him to sit good and we ended up leaving the barber shop with a less than perfect cut...but at least his hair is out of his eyes:)
