First haircut!

A couple weeks ago I decided to give Easton his first haircut! I had been debating doing it for awhile cuz I really didn't wanna cut off his cut curls he had in the back but he was starting to look a little mulletish. Also, he had these long, random fly-away hairs all over his head that he had since the day he was born. We called them his "old man, comb over hairs". LOL! Finally, I decided that it was time.
He did so great! I put him in his booster and gave him a few snacks and he was as happy as a clam. :) Just one more example of how he is the calmest, easiest little guy ever!

Here are some before and after pics:

What a little stud!!


Seriously, can't get enough of my little man!

Take me out to the ball game!

One of the things that I wanted to do while in KC was go to a Royals game. Not because I am a big Royals fan but because I have never been to a MLB game.
We got to go to one with all of our Platinum friends and it was so fun! It was so so so hot that day (105 with the heat and humidity) but we did a good job at keeping the kids drinking and out of the sun as much as possible. We had really close seats but we gave those up after about 30 minutes to find some in the shade. We could still see the game though. :)
Kaydence loved watching them hit the ball and laughed when they would slide on their butts into one of the bases (which she called basements, I didn't have the heart to correct her, it was too cute :)). All of her little friends were there and I think that she enjoyed running up and down the stairs with them more than anything. :)
The Royals lost by one run but it was a pretty exciting last inning. All in all, it was a very fun experience and I'm glad we went. We were all red faced and soaked in sweat by the end but it was worth it. We'll most likely never be in Kansas to go to a Royals game again.
I took a ton of pics but my computer wont let me upload them for some reason. Hopefully I can figure it out later. :)

Off to protect the homes of Kansas City!!

Earlier this week I got a chance to go out knocking with Rob. I was so nervous but I really wanted to see what he job was really like. On the way out to his area I kept asking April (the manager Gentry's wife) what I should do and say. She basically told me to stand behind Rob and not say anything. This would be easy for me because I was so nervous.
Walking up to every door my stomach was in knots, not knowing how the people answering the door would act. Luckily I didn't have to worry about saying or doing anything cuz Rob was on the ball the second they opened the door. People were pretty nice for the most part. There was only one lady that yelled at us and slammed the door. I was terrified but Rob said that was nothing compared to some people. We got into a few houses to sit down and Rob did get a sale! It was so neat to see him have success and see how well he delivered what he needed to say and got to know the customer and what would really work best for him and his family. Rob is such an honest and trustworthy guy, you can just tell that he cares and wants to help his customers the best way that he can. The guy was really cool and we chatted about his kids as Rob was wrapping things up.
By the end of the day (which was only less than 3 hours for me) I was sooo tired! My legs and back were killing me and I was emotionally drained. This has got to be one of the HARDEST jobs physically and emotionally that anyone could ever do! I always knew that Rob worked hard at this job but to see it first hand and actually do it, I have SOOO much more respect and sdmiration for him! He must love us so much to be willing to work this hard! To be out in the heat and humidity, walking and talking to all kinds of people for 7-10 hours a day.... I could NEVER do it. It definitely takes a VERY strong and determined person to do this job!
Rob has had so much success at it so far and there is still so much time to have alot more. I look at every single sale differently now that I know how hard he works for each one.
It was definitely one of the most interesting, anxious, fun and eye opening experiences that we've had together. I definitely love Rob even more, seeing how hard he works and knowing that he is doing it to make a better life for our little family!

Here are a few pics that I took. They are definitely not glamorous cuz we were so hot and sweaty after a hard days work! :)
