Getting ready for the zip line at Shawn's cousin Robb's house.

Ashton had to climb the tree all by himself. He was so brave.

Do you think he needs an adjustment?

Before I forget

Quick story about Landon. About Easter time last year, Landon decided he wanted his shaggy hair to be cut like his daddy's. So Shawn buzzed it and Landon has kept it very short since then. The other day, Shawn was trimming Landon's hair. They called me into the bathroom to see the finished product. I made a big deal about it telling him he looked very handsome. His response was a little shocking. He stuck his lip out and about busted into tears. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "Daddy didn't cut it right, he forgot to cut this part." He said this while pointing above his forehead. He was talking about Shawn's receding hairline and about the fact that his hair didn't look EXACTLY like Shawn's!! We did our silent parent laughing (as to not embarrass him). Our kids love us, imperfections and all! The scary thing...they want to be just like us, imperfections and all-talk about pressure.
