Tyrel's First Haircut

Tyrel FINALLY got his first haircut. For some reason, Matt really loved the mullet that was naturally growing on Tyrel and didn't want to cut it. He said it was part of Tyrel's personality. I've been trying to get Matt to agree to cut Tyrel's hair for months....and FINALLY he broke down and said okay. So this is the before picture. Now, Tyrel is adorable and I love him to death...but look at that hair; going out in every which way and see how long it is growing out over his ears. Don't overlook the length of hair down on his neck, see how it is going up over his collar; definitely time for a haircut.

BEFORE

right before the haircut, a side view

See how long it is, Matt just loved it

Here are the pictures of Matt cutting it

Matt is showing Tyrel some of his hair he just cut off

Now the AFTER pictures

(Matt was at work when I took these, he is much better at styling boy hair than me, but here is Ty's new cut with my hair style attempt for him)

And just some other random pictures,

Mikelle talking on the phone. She always goes in her room to talk. I like the look she is giving me. I don't know why this picture is so foggy/smoky-ish. I promise the room is not on fire.

Jonah got a book on tape for Christmas and he has been really into it lately. Here he is 'reading' it (Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You See)

Mikelle just finished her dinosaur unit in preschool and on the last day she got to bring home her homemade rock with a dinosaur inside it. Here she is (with the other kids of course, they couldn't miss out), breaking up her rock to get the dinosaur out.

Holding up the dinosaur she just cracked out of the rock

Matt has been reading Charlotte's Web to the kids every night. Mikelle is very interested in it. I had to snap a picture of the two of them reading together.

Jonah loves to steal Matt's phone and play games

My brother Mike on his mission in Oregon, working real hard as you can see. At least he is in the church building, he said he found that stuff in the young women's room. He has ALMOST BEEN OUT A YEAR NOW!
