To bangs or not to bangs...

Okay, so I decided to cut bangs. I know, I know I've had bangs for awhile, but this time I decided to cut blunt, straigh-across bangs. It's a huge style change for me and I'm not sure I like it. I can easily grow them out, clip them, whatever, but I was wondering if all of you who look at my blog could give me some feedback. To bangs, or not to bangs??? You'll have to take my "before" picture with a grain of salt, I don't actually take many pictures of just me so this was the best I could find after the chopping happened. :) And don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings if you don't like 'em. I'm not sure if I like them. My hair is naturally wavy so they don't lay exactly straight. I suppose I could flat-iron them. Any suggestions anyone?? Hair grows, right? Hee, hee...

Labor Day

***PAUSE THE PLAYLIST MUSIC AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO (It doesn't automatically stop when other music is played. Hee.)***
Grandma and PaPa Johnson came and swam in the pool with the kids on Labor Day. They had a blast! And Grandma taught Eliza how to blow bubbles out her nose in the water (we are trying to teach her to swim). Take a looksie at the swimming fun!

Look-a-Likes

You can't tell me that these two don't look just alike! I took these pictures separately and then looked at them and thought, WHOA! Ezra is totally his father's son!

At least it's just shoes....

So, we were having some fun dressing up Eliza in all her many princess dresses. It was like a photo shoot. (She has about a half dozen more that didn't get pictured!)

Anyhoo, Ezra decided he wanted to be part of the action and brought me some of Eliza's shoes to put on. Sigh. He was so cute I couldn't resist him much to Shiloh's chagrin. Oh well, at least it's just shoes, right? Ha!

Eyes bigger than his Mouth

My son has eyes bigger than his mouth. He has this really silly habit of trying to cram as much in his mouth as possible while eating--no matter what the food may be. I can't tell if it is just that he's really hungry and can't wait, or if he just wants to get on to better things quicker--like toys. In either case, here's my future eating contest winner with his latest invention: The Graham Cracker Stack!

A fence for the pool... Oh, the relief!

We got a fence for our pool today, YEAH!!!!! It cost way more than I wanted to pay, but the result was far better than I expected. Take a look! It curves with the pool, and it has a magna lock which is child proof (has to be lifted from the top to open, and also has a key). It was custom painted to match our house. Now we can have some peace of mind when we go in the backyard to pull weeds, etc... (Which, bytheway are taking over our backyard so please ignor the overgrowth in the pictures--we're working on it!!!) Yippee for pool fences!

Haircutting time!

Ezra's hair was starting to look like a Donald Trump comb-over, so we figured it was time to give him his FIRST HAIRCUT!!

And just for fun, I decided it was time for Eliza to get her first haircut... BANGS!!! Here she is, my little supermodel:
