Handsome Man
I gave Griffin a haircut today. He was such a good boy! He let me use the electric clippers and didn't even whimper. He looks so handsome now! (I mean, more than usual) Normally a haircut makes little kids look older but I think he looks younger in a way. Less hair equals more baby like, you know. I have such a good boy.

Cuteness
Here are some cute pictures my Father in Law took while they were here for Mesha's birthday.
Sharing a cookie.
Piggyback ride!
Swinging (Mesha's favorite pastime, Griff enjoys it too).

Museum of Flight
We took advantage of free admission night and took the kids to the Museum of Flight. I think Sterling enjoyed it about 80 times more than the rest of us. But it was still fun.
Flying a plane! Griff actually lost his shoes in this plane and we didn't realize it for a while. I'm glad I thought to look in it before we retraced our MANY steps before we got to this plane. Silly boy.
Mom and Mesha in some kind of fighter jet (can you tell how much I care about planes? Like I said, Sterling enjoyed this museum a lot more than the rest of us...).
Mesha the astronaut.
My three loves. And a bunch of airplanes.
I hope I don't sound too much like a party pooper. I really did have fun. The free hours put us in right at dinner time and it was crowded. Plus my kids have short attention spans for things like this. But other than that it was great and good family fun!

Cootie Binki
Mesha loves to play with Cootie Bugs. She was putting them together one day and ran up to show me her creation. She kept saying "Binki Bug" and I suddenly understood.
It is supposed to be a cowboy hat but I am with Mesha, it looks like a bug binki to me too.

Birthday Girl!
Mesha turned 3 on Sunday! I can't believe it. Where does the time go? Here are a few pictures of her Pony Party (Mesha says "Coney Party").
The Pony cake. It didn't turn out like I wanted it too but it's not bad. Mesha LOVED it. In fact, it didn't make it past 10 am before I had to repair it. "Mmmm, good coney Mommy!"
The party decorations. It looked a lot more pink in person. I decorated Saturday night and when I was done Mesha made a late night escape (not uncommon unfortunately) and was so excited she could barely go to sleep.
The party. We had both sets of Grandmas and Grandpas ("Paka" is Mesha's interchangeable words for them), Mo, Dad, Griffin, The Stuards, Aunt Katie, Aunt Laura, and Sterling's Uncle and Aunt over to celebrate! Mesha opened all her presents by herself this year, what a big girl. She got LOTS of horse things including a horse purse, a big white barbie horse (minus barbie herself), and a little baby horse. She also got some puzzles, dresses, giant coloring books, a Pixar book with figurines, and a Sally car. Mesha is in heaven. Her biggest worry is which present should sleep closest to her at night.
The blowing of the candles. I am holding her hands down because when we started to sing to her she got shy and hid her face. But she blew them out by herself! The true sign of a big girl.

I sure love that little girl of mine. The best part of this day was seeing how much she loved everything. I live to make her happy. Here are some things about Mesha that make me smile: When she looks in the mirror she says she has black eyes (she is looking at her pupil). She loves to play in the backyard. She loves horses. She repeats the things I say a lot- it helps me to know what I am doing right and wrong as a mother. She calls me Mommy. When she is looking for her dad she will often yell "Ster?" She LOVES nursery. She is a good eater. She is a semi good sleeper. I am the official Mesha translator, no one can understand her like I can. When we drive by the temple she yells "Mommy, sing!" She calls any tall pointy building a temple (like the Disney castle and lighthouses). She loves to read books. She is getting to be such a sweet big sister. She loves colors. She has snake hips (I have to take in all her pants). Her lovely face. Her zest for life.
We love you Mesha!

Hats
I got some free yarn recently and made a few hats for the kids. They are a little big but that just means they will last longer, right?
Getting these done was no easy task. I had to teach myself some new techniques and deal with giant yarn knots. Apparently my kids are little kittens and can't resist a nice ball of yarn.
