Haircut

I love Jackson's curls, but they began to get out of control (especially after a good night's sleep:)!

It was time for a haircut, but not before we all enjoy some blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry smoothie.

Jackson helped blend,

 test taste,

and drink the yummy smoothie!

 Then, Brian started cutting while Jackson watched Thomas. I love how much Brian is saving us by cutting Jackson's and his hair.

And the after!

 Why does it seem they always look so much older after a haircut? 

Haircut at Home

Brian and I love Jackson's curls but his hair was getting a bit out of control. If we didn't wet it down or wash it he would have an Afro. I was going to take him to get his haircut on Friday but never got around to it. So, this weekend Brian decided that he could and would just cut it himself. We borrowed my Aunt's scissors, and Brian set to work.

Jackson sits better at the hair salon. 

 We put on Mickey to keep him still.

 Brian didn't do terrible for his first time cutting hair. Jackson may have a few long pieces here and there but overall it seems to blend together. I think the curls help it all to go together.

Jackson didn't want to get his hair cut at home because then he wouldn't get a sucker after getting his hair cut. He settled with some frozen yogurt!



And,

I feel like a new woman! It is amazing what a haircut and color can do, especially after not having one in 13 weeks.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Jackson's hair was getting pretty long. I loved how it looked after a shower, but by the end of the day it was beyond crazy. Most morning he went to Miss Sandy's with an Afro!

Working Out Just Like Mommy


 The other night Brian was going to get his hair cut, so I said take Jackson and get his cut too. I think he looks so much older with his hair short. Of course I still think he is cute, but I actually really miss his crazy curls.

Good thing it is just hair, but next time I think we will just trim his hair.

A New Do

Last week I went and got my hair cut by someone different. Shh, don't tell Lucy! I went to a friend of a friend whose is starting a salon out of her home. She colored and cut my hair for about $40 less than I normally pay, but it took a lot longer. There were several reasons to why it took a while, but for that one reason I don't if it was worth the money I saved.
As you can see in the picture (even though the picture doesn't do it justice) she gave me layers in the back. This is something different for me. I really like how full it makes my hair in back on top. I also like how the front lays. The haircut is very simple to do. I am worried about it as it starts to grow out in back, especially if I don't get it cut the same or by her again.

Brian likes it, so I guess that is all that matters!

A List

1. Jackson got a haircut and she cut it really short, of course he is still handsome!

2. Jackson got another Christmas present. He tore right into it!

Thanks Aunt Midge and Uncle Dan for the awesome race track!

3. Happy 7th Birthday Aaron! My Aunt made his cool lego cake.

4. I love spending time at the park with my favorite boys. Jackson's face always lights up right as he spots the park from his stroller! I snapped a few pictures while he played.

Tongue out!


I guess this is his new "having fun" face!

5. Jackson thinks he a big boy and he will only swing on these swings now. He doesn't even want me by him but gets upset when he doesn't go anywhere!

6. Brian plays a mean game of Scrabble! He comes up with plays that I don't even believe and usually gets none less than 24 points a turn. I still have fun playing with him because he helps me get lots of points too so sometimes I end up winning, so to speak!

7. We had a great morning at Church after several weeks of being away. Brian cleaned and de-cluttered our garage, but other than that we spent most ot the weekend just hanging out the 3 of us!
8. Jackson is such a goofball, especially when he doesn't take his Sunday afternoon nap!

9. I am looking forward to making this next week the best one yet and letting God use me in ways only He can for his glory!
