FuNnY ViDeO

To get the full effect of the video turn the sound off the music player on bottom of page!!

This is just a funny video I found of Brody. We had gone swimming at the pool and had gotten home a little past nap time so we decided to get him some lunch before going down for bed, but he didn't quite make it that far... But it is quite humorous!!!

ENJOY!!!

*Two of a Kind*

Brody has had quite a hard time adjusting to Jordyn going to school 2 days a week, and with Holiday schedules throwing off the schedule, we didn't get to see Jordyn for a week, then this week only 2 days. He gets quite bored when she isn't around, but then again I should be counting my blessings cause when they haven't been together in a while-

this is what ends up happening...












Brody ends up just missing her so much- he can't stand it, so they play so well together and just are soooo stinkin' sweet to eachother.



This day she shared her toys with him she let him play with her ponies with her and she let him play with her hair.



*train of thought:

(Me- in Beauty School, B-Bo playin' w/ a curling iron? ironic I know) But hey for Kip's sake- he still can kick a soccer ball, and throw a baseball harder than most kids!! So he has just a tiny sprinkle of his mamma's "feminine abilities" side??

What kid doesn't.

Here they are today at lunchtime he gets to sit at the counter in his big boy chair so Jordyn was so excited B-Bo got to eat right by her so she wouldn't leave him alone. But it was totally too cute to pass up the Photo Op.

I guess who could say that there "AUNT"

loves them this much!!

Cold noses, Big coughs, & Too Much Fun

So Brody and I went for a really long walk the other day and ended up at the park for hours. It was cold but we had too much fun, we may have to make it a ritual!!


However I dusted off the camera and pulled it from it cozy spot in the closet and came up with this very dashing picture of my Brody. The only good picture I got of him. Normally he'll turn his back so I don't get a good pic, but I tricked him here.


For example here is his "Mom put the camera away picture"


Although even though he wouldn't look at me, this one's cute. At the park under the big playground set they have these little windows that look as if there are buttons like a cash register, and Jordyn and Brody would take your order and put the bark up on there as your order- cute I know!! Brody uses his hat so cleverly (if that's a word- well I guess it is now) he'll look down so you can't get a pic. but he'll barely peek enough to see from under the hat. He is a funny guy!


"Tell him to stop chasing me mom!!"

I tried to get him to play with his shadow but he doesn't sit still very long- go figure. But we had fun and I love to see how much he's grown and thought I'd just share some pictures of B-Bo so all you can share in it with me!! We got home, were super tired, with red, runny noses, and Brody's lil' cough. So we snuggled up and took a nap!! That's all folks, but I'll leave you with some more cute pics of Brody!!

"I am sooo cute"

He's watching Curious George, our greatest find yet!! He won't even move when it's on, and it is the only movie that will get us all the way to PHX in the car without a peep from the backseat! Till next time....

Update... on everything HAIR

A Russell Pack update...

I am here to explain the countdown on my page. This is how it works for anyone who cares.

When I started Beauty School you go through a 16 week crash course "BASICS" learning everything you need to know then at the end of your 16 weeks you "grade out" to go out on the "clinic floor" and work on actual clients- instead of just your "dollies."

Then once you have reached 1600 hours you have a "Senior Grad out" when you get your diploma from the school. Then you have to go register & pay to take your State Boards (AHH...) to get your license. State Board is the hardest test, our other test are supposed to simulate an actual state board test.

If you have been keeping track I have actually finished my 16 weeks, but when I transferred to the night program in October, in agreement to switch- I had to retake the creative essentials "BASICS" program. They have switched to a quicker 12 week program now, so I will be grading out not too far from my actual grade out time. (would have been on Mon.) Now it is...

**JANUARY 7th 2008**

But I have been able to keep my accumulated hours: 600 Hrs.
I will have been in the "basics" class for: 20 Weeks
with a grand total of about: 700 Hrs. of BASICS

WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT SO FAR!!!!

I have about 9 months of school left
900 hours more

So now the "big picture" I will GRADUATE sometime in: SEPT. '08
Now you have been updated to my life these days. Here is some of the stuff I have done...

Old School
Roller set & backcombing style

Simple half up do

Pin curl wet set up do
Formal french twist up do
with a modern twist

Okay so don't mind the beard!!! This is a women's cut we had to do on our man dollies to make sure we used the hair we could. But the cut is very cute (just don't look at the beard!)




My Nail art

Daises, Flames, Hibiscus, Hearts, Butterflies, Etc.



Geez, if I may be so bold- I am so Proud of myself!!

YOU GO JEN!!!
Hope y'all enjoyed the little update on everything HAIR!!!
