Randomness... because I can!

So recently, I dyed my hair [sorry Sara... it's a box mix! lol]. I am in need of a major change these days... for those that don't know, I have lost 15 pounds in the last 3 months and hopefully more to come! Eventually I will be getting my hair cut but when it's not the trustworthy hands of my sister-in-law Sara... I take a little more time researching where to go and what cut to get.

Noah... is still a cheese ball and he loves being completely random! I was trying to take a picture to send to Kaylen to show him how much weight I have lost and there's Noah behind me [no idea until I looked back at the picture] showing daddy how much weight he has accumulated! It's totally awesome simply because of his rock star Elmo slippers!




And then of course there is Nixon! He tries to be goofy... and he succeeds most of the time... he loves to take weird pictures for some reason... this is his classic look. I take the picture and he says "I wanna see mommy...wanna see!" If he approves of it, he laughs... if not... "take another one mommy, it's no good." All in all, they keep me laughing.

Iron Man and Spiderman...

Nixon has decided to be Iron Man this year and I have decided for Noah that he will be Spiderman:

Because of my severe dislike for the holiday... we did not carve pumpkins. Someone with the same feelings as I have must have invented this wonderful alternative to pumpkin carving... little eyes, mouth, nose and ears just like you would use for Mr. Potato Head! No nasty pumpkin seeds or rotting pumpkin smell! Sweet!
The boys had a great time rolling the pumpkins off the porch and into the parking lot [Noah]. They also loved making holes in the pumpkins with the little pieces. Every time we go outside, Nixon sits with "his" pumpkins. He rearranges them to his liking and plays with them like they are toys. They [the pumpkins] have conversations and "play time." Overall, the boys are enjoying getting ready for the holiday... Nixon keeps trying to get some candy that for some reason... I bought rediculously early! We don't eat candy... so that was a bad idea on my part!

Kaylen has been gone almost 3 months now... it went by fairly quick the first 2 months, now it is just dragging on and on and on! We are surviving... especially now that Kaylen has his computer with webcam... I bought a webcam too and the boys LOVE to talk to daddy. Noah still gets a little confused when he sees daddy in front of him and can hear him... but he's not actually here! He just says "hi" over and over.
That is all I have for now.... so stay tuned for more pix and more updates!
