So long to long hair

Mom finally convinces the boys it is time to cut their "hippie" hair. Here is the last picture before they are made over into clean cut boys (see pictures below). Posted by Picasa

Bring back the mullet

The stylist has fun with the boys' long hair, seeing how they look with an old 1980s look (aka "the mullet"). The funny thing is their Dad actually had this style in High School (and so did their Mom, sort of). Posted by Picasa

More mullet fun...

Pierce's hair is even more fun to make into a mullet. Posted by Picasa

New hair-dos and new jackets

The boys are satisfied with their haircuts, but they were even more thrilled to spend their gift cards from Christmas on new jackets. Posted by Picasa

First Confession

Owen made his First Confession a few weeks ago. Here he is (in yellow) with 7 of the 10 students in my 2nd grade class. Believe it or not, he didn't talk Father's ear off in the confessional. Posted by Picasa

Prayer of Thanks

After it was over, Father gave a short prayer. Everyone was thankful it was over, especially the teacher :) Posted by Picasa

Still praying

The Ant Farm from Uncle Nat has really been a hit at our house. I promised Dad I would put pictures on the blog to show everyone, so here they are. Enjoy!

Ice Skating

We joined Jan's family support group in Omaha to ice skate. Jeff's boys were there too, and a good time was had by all the kids. Jan Bies (Fraser) brought her four kids to visit and eat at Valentino's afterwards, so a lot of memories were made on this day!

Christmas at Home

We had a nice Christmas at home, despite Owen being sick all weekend and then off and on all week. Owen's big gift was a large remote control truck, while Pierce wanted a Robopet, which is a remote control pet. (There must be something to males and a love for remote controls, and it starts at a very early age.) They both got matching pajamas from Mom and Dad (as seen here). Posted by Picasa
