AXTEN'S FIRST HAIRCUT!!

Axten has been needing a haircut for quite a while now, but I didn't want to loose his curls in the back, so we kept putting it off. Plus, I wanted to keep my "baby" for alittle while longer!! But, it was getting out of control, so it was time.

Here's the "before" shot from the front.....

...and the back.

Wetting it down to get started!!

He did not like it at all!! The hairdresser did reassure us that he was actually doing pretty good compared to some of the kids she's cut.

We thought giving him a drink would calm him down. But that lasted for about 30 seconds.

Almost done!!

Daddy can make it all better!!

Afterwards, I took Axten to the bathroom to change his clothes because he ended up with hair all over him. He caught a look in the mirror!!

And here's my little man. He looks so grown up now, and it makes me so sad!!!

SWIMMING IN THE WINTERTIME!!

Aunt Tiffie & Steve had a great idea to take the kids to Raymond Park's indoor pool!! It was so much fun!! Although, I didn't get in the water with Axten, because he is still fighting an ear infection. But we definitely will next time!!

Trentin is FINALLY tall enough for the water slides!!

She's such a silly girl!!

SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES!!!

Haille's team has not lost a game yet!! With two more weeks to go, hopefully they can finish the season undefeated!! (I need to get a better video camera.)

TRENTIN-ISM

Last week, Trentin tells me that his friend Brianna had a secret & wouldn't tell him what it was. I said, well, then she probably wants to keep it a secret!! So here's our conversation on Monday in the car on our way home from daycare:

Trentin: Mom, guess what?!?!? I found out Brianna's secret!!

Me: You did? How did you find out?

Trentin: With the help of my friends (named them but I can't remember who)

Haille: She likes you!!!! She likes you!!!!

Trentin: She doesn't just like me, she LOVES me!!

Me: (laughing) She LOVES you??

Trentin: Yeah, and that's when I really FREAKED OUT!!!

TRENTIN'S 1ST GRADE PROGRAM

The first graders had a program for all the parents to come see!! They all made sunshine t-shirts & wore sunglasses & sunvisors, so needless to say, the program was all about the sunshine!!

Trentin got to stand up and tell a joke. He was so nervous, but he pulled it off!!

HAILLE'S 2ND GRADE PROGRAM

The 2nd grade held a program for all parents. It was a patriotic theme, and they sang all of America's songs. My baby girl is now 8 years old. When am I going to stop getting so emotional at these things?? I teared up watching her because she's becoming such a little lady!!



Haille is the third from the left in the white sweater. The 2nd grade is learning to read music, and they did a great job!!!

LOOK WHO'S WALKING!!

Axten is walking!! Although he's not completely steady on his feet, he will stand up and walk before he crawls. YEAH!!!!

This is the icicle that was hanging on our front porch. It was pretty neat!! When we got home later that day, it was actually attached to the bush below, but the kids broke it off before I could get a picture.

And, yes, those are our Christmas lights still hanging. Horrible, I know!!! But they have since been taken down, I swear!!

My night was alittle rough. How was yours??
