Dallin's second hair cut!

I decided that last night Chris and Dallin needed hair cuts. Chris's was getting long and over his ears and just didn't look good for work, not that there is a strict dress code there or anything but he still likes to look nice. And Dallin just had long hair. The hair on the top of his head was almost reaching the bottom of his hair line in the back so it was time for a drastic hair cut. I was very nervous about it because when I got my hair cut there was a little boy who kept screaming and moving way too much and didn't get a very good cut and was almost skewered with the scissors a couple of times. I was afraid that would be Dallin as well.


This is a good picture of Dallin from earlier in the day. I decided I should try to have a before and after picture.

This is the first picture of Dallin getting his hair cut. I decided to use the razor I got for Christmas a few years back. I will admit that I was not very appreciative of it when I got it because I didn't want to cut hair but it has come in handy and since I got it I have been the only person to cut Chris's hair. And now I will be the only one to cut Dallin's hair.



As you can see there was no screaming and fidgeting. Dallin thought it was so much fun and that it tickled him as I was doing the back of his head.


He kept leaning forward, trying to get away from me because I was tickling him. So cute!


For the top of his head I used scissors to make it look nice and blended from the buzzed part to the scissored part. He did so well and this was him right after he got off the stool. He went straight for my spray bottle.


This is all of his hair. He had so much. I can't believe he is so grown up now and getting hair cuts!


Since it was Saturday night I had both boys take a bath, granted, Dallin needed one since his hairs were cut but I have started holding Tristan in the tub with Dallin when he is in there because Tristan can use a good soaking once in a while. Plus, his little baby tub doesn't allow him to be as submersed as holding him in the tub does and so he gets cold. I didn't get to see what his hair finally ended up like because right after the tub he went to bed with his hair wet.


This morning we decided to not go to church since Dallin and I keep coughing and don't feel so well and Chris said that his tummy has a rumbly in a bad way. But I woke up this morning with Dallin on top of me and woah was he lookin' different!


He is very cute though and even though he isn't feeling well he is still doing okay and let me get some cute pictures of him.

A Beautiful Fall Day

Today after we got up and ready for the day I noticed it was beautiful outside and that in the sun it was pretty warm. We went out and tossed a frisbee around, me and Dallin. He was so cute. We had two frisbees and I would throw them and I would get one and he would get the other and run to me and I would throw them both. It was fun. Then Chris came out after his little cub scout planning meeting and we raked some leaves and took some pictures and videos. Our video camera was FULL for the last month and we finally took all the videos off and so we started to tape again.


Everyone needs family pictures so we took one and we look wonderful! Granted, you can't really see Tristan in it because he is washed out but he is there!


Dallin loved walking around our yard with us. He loves to be outside and it is just so hard to get out sometimes with Tristan now. Dallin and I usually go out when he is asleep and take the baby monitor but today we took him out!


Chris and Dallin. I love his face. He looks so unhappy but I think it is just the sun in his eyes.


Here is Tristan all bundled up in his little fleece sleeper thingy and the hat Dallin got from the hospital when he was born. He was nice and warm and eventually he even fell asleep in the stroller.

Isn't this like the best picture of Dallin ever? I think it is. He looks happy to be sitting in the leaves.


Dallin let me throw the leaves on him and he thought it was fun but he wouldn't throw them.


Chris even mowed the lawn today! It needed it at least one last time and it was also good because I am going to start a compost pile so he chopped up the piles of leaves pretty good so that I could rake them up and make a good pile to start composting!


And guess who got to ride on the mower with Daddy? Dallin! He had so much fun and when Chris got to the front yard when he was almost done, Chris brought Dallin into the house which was really funny because Dallin had fallen asleep while Chris was mowing! He was so mad when Chris brought him in and wanted to go back out. But instead I got him lunch and put him to bed!

It was so nice outside and I am really glad we were able to go and spend some time outside before it gets too cold to go outside without a coat on. Though Dallin needs a coat and if you notice on the lawn mower Chris had put socks on his hands to keep them warm because they were so cold. Ahhh it was very nice to play as a family outside.
