Good-bye Curls!

On Mother's Day weekend Andrew got his first haircut...or should I say trim. I wasn't ready to for him to change from my baby into a little boy yet, so we decided we would just trim the edges. Plus, his curls in the back are just so darn cute. Aunt Sommer started snipping away, but Andrew wasn't enjoying it all that much.

The finished product...What a handsome boy!

And we still kept some of the curls!

A month later...

Hot summer days are in full swing and Andrew is getting pretty shaggy. It was time! This time Sommer used the clippers and boy was he unhappy! He did not want to be messed with!

Fortunately he has recovered from this traumatic experience and he still likes Aunt Sommer! Although he is a big boy now, he's still adorable...even without the curls.

A quiet Memorial Day

With all the traveling we have been doing lately, it was so nice to be home for a change. We usually go back for Memorial Day so Jarod can participate in the Legion services in Brainard. However, this year we decided to take it easy...and it was perfect! The three of us got out our lawn chairs, fired up the smoker, and sat around enjoying each others company and the not so nice weather. Even though it was cold and dreary Andrew loved being outside pushing his "Lightning McQueen" around.

Jarod claimed he made the best ribs he's ever smoked before. They were darn tasty, maybe a little too spicy for me, but Andrew didn't seem to mind

Farmer Boy

About a month ago we went to visit Grandpa Dave on the farm during planting season. We got to ride in the tractor and got a complicated lesson on the new high-tech tractor that drives itself. This was Andrew's first of many tractor rides to come. He had a good time and especially liked to grab the steering wheel. The cutest part was after we got home that night, the only toy he played with was his John Deere tractor! We may have a future farmer in the family!
