What in the hair?


Why do men do this?
Just be confident. Be bald. It's okay.
I'm sure you're a very wise older man and this just makes you look silly.
(I don't know who this is, by the way. He was just some guy at the airport the other day. It looked a lot worse from the front and the back, but I couldn't get a very good picture.)

Busy Week in Review

This week started with my annual music recital. It was a little crazy, but went well. The kids all did a great job!




On Tuesday, Baby Wyatt was born. He and Annie are doing well and they were both able to come home on Friday. I think Elliott may need to take a few happy pills over the next few days and weeks. He seems a little weird and very emotional. On Friday afternoon, he hit Willie on the head and then bit him. He'd never really done that before. I think Wyatt may be invading his territory. It's no wonder we second children end up so perfect like we do. Our older siblings are bossing us around from day 1. :)



On Thursday, Jarrell got his mission call. He is headed to the Washington, Seattle mission and departs in August. Congratulations Jarrell!! You'll be a great missionary. James went to the Oregon, Eugene mission. It's weird how family members often get called to the same or very similar missions.



Willie had 3 final pool games this week in his AAU league (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). Then, they played and won their first tournament game on Saturday. This has been a great experience for Willie. He has not only made some huge strides in his sweet basketball skills, but he's had an opporunity to play for a really good coach and with some really unique kids. He finally has a coach (besides Coach Dad, who is actually teaching him things). It's been fun watching them. Willie is becoming quite the defensive player, plugging up the middle each game and averaging several blocks. Now, if he can only work on a few post moves that will help him score on those offensive rebounds, instead of dishing it back out, he'll be even better!!

I think that's it for now. We'll have to see what fun and exciting things happen next week!
