Canning Beets and Cutting Hair!

Yeah to first hair cuts!!  and good bye to mullets!!  I'm not sure what it is about my kids and mullets but Sarah gave herself one last Christmas that has finally grown out and Ian has been sporting one for a few months!!  They can so get away with it though...
My friend Kjirsta's sister gave us all haircuts while we were canning beets!  I was seriously surprised that Ian sat so still the whole time.
I think he was afraid to move!  Here is the finished product!  A handsome little guy that looks a lot older now.  boo hoo!
About the beets... I love beets!  My girlfriend and I have been making this BBQ chicken salad ever since we met!  It is a tradition when we get together!  One of the yummy ingredients are her mom's pickled beets!  Needless to say over the years we have eaten all of her mom's supply.  So this past week her mom made some more and let us be part of the process!  It was fun to learn how to make them and I am excited to make more!  Her mom recommended we wait about 2 months but I could not wait!  I ate a jar already and they were fabulous!!  2 jars are left so I better start making some more...
