No more afros!

Today was haircutting day at our house. both Troy and Edwin were in need of a haircut in the worst way. I wish that I would have taken a shot of all the hair that I cleaned off the ground but I didn't so here is the before and afters...well the before of Troy and the afters of both handsome boys!

hee hee!!! so his afro wasn't quite this bad and was actually kind of cute. I didn't want to cut it at first but now we are glad we did! Here they are! cute boys!

ITS A BOY!

So last week we had our ultrasound and Troy is going to have a little brother to teach all of his tricks to! The shot was so clear that even I could tell  before she told us! With Troy I had no idea what they were looking at but with this one there is no denying that he is all boy! We are so excited and can't wait to see him! Troy is funny he will come lay his head on my belly and occasionally give it a head butt...I think as if to say to his little brother that he is the boss! It will be interesting to see how he reacts to a newborn in the house.

Halloween

This year we had a lot of fun on halloween. We originally bought Troy a Wolverine costume...he picked out by the way but when we tried it on him it was skin tight and did not do justice for him or the character. It kind of reminded me of the Incredibles where Mr incredible is trying to make his comeback and his chubby tummy was in the way...lol! this is how Troy was in his costume. so we changed it up for an army costume. He was a lil soldier.  We took him to the wards trunk or treat. we had no idea how big it was going to be. this is the first time in 7 years that we ran out of candy...and in less than an hour. I think that many more came to celebrate with us becuase it is a safe place to gather lots of candy! At first Troy wanted nothing to do with the candy. We made a loop around the parking lot and Troy would only get close to maybe 3 cars so we went back and helped pass out candy. after he realized all the kids were getting candy we went out for round 2 and he did a little bit better this time stopping at most of the cars! It was fun. Next year we will bring lots more candy. After trunk or treat we went over to our friends Carlie and Stewarts so that Troy could do a little more trick or treating. IT was a fun visit and Troy definitely scored on the candy this year!  Notice  in the pic of Edwin and Troy where Troys  hand is at! not sure when he will out grow this! But we think it is funny! In the other pic is our good friends Carlie and Stewart with Troy and Edwin.
