Bren's Haircut (No Appointment Needed!)

There comes a time in every parent's life when their child does one of those things that ALL kids do. I remember a few weeks ago, a facebook friend documented her little girl cutting her own hair. I recall thinking how nice it is that my girls have never tried that.


Until now.



Bren was in her room cleaning (which is something she never does by herself). I walk in and the first thing I see is a pile of hair and scissors...



followed by more hair...


This is what Bren looks like. She said "I told you I needed a haircut, Mom!" Luckily, she had a ponytail on top that covers up most of the damage. And she cut the same look on both sides which I feel shows that she knows it has to be even! :-)



But, of course, we had to document this event when Bren did the "typical kid thing."

Winter Photo Shoot

Since I'm home with a sick Brenna today, I saw this as a great chance to do some cleaning and post on the family blog.

Black Friday, Jess and I found these cute coats at Gymboree for an AMAZING deal (I'm sure I've told most of you all about the $15 I paid for these coats). I wanted to take some pictures of the girls out in the snow with these coats. 3 months later, we finally got the snow we needed.

We had a fun morning driving around Adel finding some great spots. We saw 200 geese and a bald eagle flying around by the soccer fields. It was an amazing sight!

Love these girls more than life itself!


Brenna looks too innocent in these pictures; don't let her fool you!
Ms. Alexa with her sass!

And of course, some goofy ones!
