My kids & I - week 18

haircut day!

Today we went into town to get our haircuts, Brady was really due for a clean up, Emma needed to have all her fine thin baby hair cut off, so it can grow in thicker & fuller, & I wanted to get mine trimmed up & got a few layers around the front of my face. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE PRICE DIFFERENCE FROM GETTING HAIRCUTS HERE & IN CALI, ALL 3 OF US WALKED OUT PAYING 43.00, BACK HOME IT WOULDA BE LIKE 90.00! So while we still can get it cheap I wanted to do so!

I love my hardworkin' man!

Yesterday after a long days work Brian decided it was a nice still evening to burn our huge pile of wood from our pool deck. I had fixed taco's for dinner, he did manage to come in for a 5 minute quick bite to eat, then back to work, he started the fire & withing seconds it was blazin'!! It looked so cool, I've never had such a huge bomb fire:) Those are the kinda fun things you can do here in Iowa!

Austin's 1st Birthday Cake

With the busy road ahead for the Smith family traveling back to California, I decided to take Austin's Cake portraits a month or so early. We just have so much to do the next couple weeks, & The mommy I am, would never want to not have pictures of my baby eating his first Birthday cake:) Enjoy the pics, I really enjoyed watching him lick the frosting & detroy his mini cake. He demolished it down to nothing!

HALLoween Party

Our good friends The HALL'S always throw a big Halloween bash in there Mortan building, it's so much fun to see all the kids & adults dress up. People really get into it, It's great! This year Emma was Hannah Montana & Daddy dressed as her Dad..BILLY RAY CYRUS..HAHA! And Brady was Dumbo & Lil Austy was a Spider. I was the party pooper who did'nt want to dress up. But at the last minute I did..so I wore Brians old Police uniform. We really had a good time playing games, visiting with all our good friends here. We will really miss them all...
