Photo Tag


This is a Photo Tag. What you do is go to your fourth photo folder and get the fourth picture.


This is a picture of Trevan and his friend Diego. We were at one of Mason's basketball games last year in Germany. Diego's big brother Noah played on the same team as Mason. It was always a great time for these two little buddies, Trevan and Diego. They were always finding things to play with. This is my favorite picture of the two of them. Don't they make the cutest "cone heads"?

A first for Kennedy

I have been wanting to cut Kennedy's hair for a while now but patiently waited for George to be ready. I really don't know why since he doesn't have anything to do with her hair! Oh, wait, he does brush it after washing it, does that count? Well here it is before I took some scissors to it. It was getting pretty long, but very wispy.
Here we are during the hair cut. Yes I did it my self. I thought "How hard can it be?" It wasn't really that hard and she did a pretty good job at watching the TV to keep as still as a 3 year old can be.

The after cut and blow dry. I love it! She likes it too. She was a little leery about cutting her long hair, as she said. But she looks so cute, and more grown up. She has always been so good at getting her hair done. Her bangs still have a little bit of growing yet to do to get it all the same length but at least now it is more uniform.


The back view. She was running her hands through it and really enjoying it. It looks thicker now, maybe because it isn't all different lengths. Notice the vacuum, George was anxious to clean up the hair mess. He says he likes it and at this point what more can he say? Kennedy sure is growing up. No longer our little baby, but now our pretty little princess.
