Nixon gets butched

Well it is that time, time for Nixon to get his first haircut. His hair was not too long, but he had this patch of hair in the back that would just stick out, and it always looked so messy.

I would of preferred to just cut the back, but I don't dare try to even the top with scissors yet so all I know how to do is just buzz it off. Oh well that works. Here are a few pictures of the process thanks to Tanner's lovely photography.

Here are just a few more of the many pictures Tanner took.

Now it is time to show you a cute picture of Nixon with his hair cut, except Lexi got a hold of the camera when Tanner was done with it, and I don't know want is wrong with my camera now. Here is a picture that Tanner caught of Nixon after his haircut.

Kind of hard to see how cute his new haircut is, but oh well. (The little girl is my niece)

So unless I can figure out what is wrong with my camera I might just have to wake up super early the day after Thanksgiving and try to get a deal on a camera. A camera was defiantly not on the Christmas list, but you gotta have one. Does anyone have any suggestions on good cameras? I would love love love a really nice camera, but I just don't know if I can justify that right now, so any suggestions would be great.

Happy Halloween

The kids had a very fun Halloween this year. The day before Halloween I had my photoshop class so Jeff watched the kids, and they painted pumpkins. He took some really cute pictures of them here are just a few.

Jeff is an excellent babysitter. On the occasions that he does babysit, and I might add that those times a pretty rare, when I come home the kids are usually bathed and in bed.

On Halloween this year the kids were in their costumes all day. We started the day out by going to see Jeff at school during lunch time.

The school kids loved seeing the kids dressed up in their costumes. All the girls came in his classroom and oohed and aahed almost the whole time. It is so funny to watch middle school kids and the way they act. That is such an awkward age anyway.

After lunch with Jeff we met my friend Amanda and her girls at Lee's, and did their little trick-or-treating around the store. Then we came home and had several hours of down time. I really wished I could of got Lexi to take a nap, but she had all ready had to much candy and was on a sugar high.

I wanted to take some pictures of the kids in their costumes before we went out trick-or-treating, and this is where a nap would of been really nice for Lexi to have had because she wouldn't cooperate at all.

Tanner was pirate again this year. This was mostly because of me he wanted to be batman, but I didn't want to spend what I thought was a lot of money on a batman costume. When I saw this pirate costume I thought it was so cute, and it was half the price of the batman man costume. He was happy with the pirate costume.

Lexi was a princess butterfly. She looked soooo cute. The picture at Jeff's school is the best picture I have that shows her costume. I need to put her in her costume one morning and actually get a cute one of her. Anyway, this is the kind of picture I could get.

Nixon was our cuddly little chicken. I got several cute pictures of him.

As you can see Nixon didn't like it to much when I would put the hood on.

Yes, it is time to go trick-or-treating now!

I can't remember a Halloween when it has been warm. The weather was so nice. We went out around 6:30 and didn't get home until around 8:00, and the whole time I was in long sleeved shirt and never even had to put on my jacket. Last year I remember the kids wanting go home after about 20 minutes because it was so cold. It was a fun Halloween and we got a TON of CANDY.
