a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.

so today was haircut day for the little ones. i didn't realize how poofy ryder's hair was until he sat in the haircut chair and i was like...yikes, i think i waited a tad too long on this cut. the whole way home, i told my kids how great their hair looked, etc. once home, ryder kept saying,
am i handsome momma?
yes ryder, SO handsome.
it was the cutest thing. over and over again, with that sweet little smile. so proud of his new look.
i decided to take pics of their new dos (as in hairdos). and immediately, when i saw this photo of ryder, i thought of this photo of sky that i had taken almost a year ago. i so adore how similar their smiles are. (see photos below.)
stay with me on this one; it's worth it (well, at least i think so :-) ...
the kids and i went to target tonight (trying to find shoes for the photography workshop/tradeshow i'm going to, in vegas, this weekend) and of course, i spent way too much money. target does that to me. yes, i did find a couple pairs of shoes but i also found the kids pajamas, dresses, jeans and a few toys. oh yea, and transformer undies for ryder (ha...that's what this is all about). so ryder just loves his undies. i'm a boxer girl and began by buying him boxer briefs. somehow i accidentally bought him regular briefs one day and he's been hooked ever since. it seems that we now collect them--spiderman, cars, power rangers, etc. when we got home from the store tonight, kiele noticed that they were not only the beloved transformer undies, they glow in the dark. so of course, ryder wants to wear his new undies to bed. he takes off his jammies, puts on his new undies and proceeds to jump around. i turn and look at him and he starts slapping his hips.
ryder, what are you doing?
they're not lighting up momma.
oh-my-gosh. i was laughing so hard. he was trying to get his undies to glow in the dark (light up) like his tennies do.
i just love my kids so much. day after day, they are saying the funniest, wittiest things that make me laugh so hard.
my kids make me so...
happy!
