Lately... First Hair Cut, Yard Sale Scores, and a Mini Family Reunion

Well, the last few months have been fun. I got two jobs: One at a fitness center in the child care area, where I can bring William with me; and the other one teaching preschool at Tykes Time, where William gets some Daddy-time while I'm gone. Actually, I resigned from Tykes time and I'm giving them my last two weeks now -- they were weird with hours and salary and plus, I just didn't like leaving William for 12 hours a week :(
Anyway, Adam has been applying for jobs left and right and we're just waiting to hear back. Adam and I also do odd jobs for an elderly woman who lives down the street from us. Her name is Hazel and she is 95 years old and is the most cleanly woman I've ever met. Her home is spotless and she pays me 30.00 a month to vacuum and dust for her. She pays Adam 20.00 a week to do yard stuff. She's great :)
Then there is William who is getting more daring every day and decided walking is better than crawling now days and is using it more and more as his mode of transportation.
Some of the highlights have been:
Williams 1st hair cut from Daddy. Before:
After:


Yard-saling where we got quite a few awesome things (Lets, just say, 20-somthing bucks and all this stuff(and yes, that is a double sided, wooden art easel I got for three dollars and is normally like 60.00!)):

Including this Sit n' Spin toy that William LOVES. And I got an awesome video of him going crazy with it, but... I cant figure out how to upload videos on the new blogger interface!! So any help would be appreciated. I used to just go to the old interface because it had the icon there for me to, but I don't have the little film strip icon on this page to do it. Don't know if I'm missing something or I'm just going crazy, but I need to figure it out soon so I can get some funny videos out there :)
In the mean while I'll make a little note to myself of a list of videos to remind me to post later:
Sit n spin
Conference (William danced to the choir lol)
Adam spinning William on the sit n spin
William and Leah riding in the back seat together

Anyway, then there was a day trip up to Rexburg with Adam's cousin Casey and her daughter Leah for a mini family reunion and that was tons of fun! We go to see many of Adam's cousins from Uncle Kevin and Brother Daniel :) William just loves Daniel, so that was fun for him too :) The kids did great on both the ride up and the ride back (which was a miracle seeing as how both of us forgot to bring ANY toys to entertain the kiddos. Casey just ended up emptying out her whole purse across the back seat. It worked!)
Yay for random purse items that entertain babies! Here is a few pictures from that (the children look less than thrilled... althought that may be an over stuffed face on William because we did have lots of good snacks lol):



Lots of fun!
P.S. Casey, found your lip gloss and formula case under the passenger seat today, got to get that back to you :)
