Gotta Love the Mullets!

I just really wanted to share these pictures even though they're from July.

I hadn't had Mason's hair cut for 5 months! I had huge issues with it. I was worried if I cut it short than he would look too much like a toddler and no longer like a baby. He's only 17 months but is as big as a 2 1/2 to 3 year old. He's now wearing 3T clothes!! Anyway, I didn't think to take a picture of his long hair until after my sister-in-law, Melanie cut off the sides. Melanie and I died laughing while taking the pictures, especially at how long the back was. I must say it didn't seem that long because his hair would curl under.

Here is Mason a month later playing in my Mom's bathtub. He had climbed in all by himself. I usually bathe him at night, but we had gotten there late so I decided I'd bathe him in the morning. I think he was feeling a little out of whack with the change in the routine.

He's such an adorable kid!

Haircut & Spring Festival 2007

Finally enough time to do another post! So...after our LONG flight back to Washington, we ended up at my Mom's, late, late on Thursday night. I was so desperate for a haircut, that first thing Friday morning my dear sister-in-law, Melanie, cut my hair. It hadn't been cut for about 15 months! Anyway, here's the pile. I know it's gross, but had to show it. I think Melanie said it looked like a little dog or something. Unfortunately, I didn't take a before and after picture and I haven't been able to find a picture to showcase my new hairdo. I feel like a new person having some style to my hair again!

The next thing we did was spend the day at the Moses Lake Spring Festival on Saturday. We planned to come home in time for this so that Tom could play in the basketball tournament with my brother Milo, and friends Brady and Richard. I really wish Tom would play in a normal t-shirt or something. He always has to wear these stupid, ugly jersey tops.

Tom pushing to the basket and Richie blocking out.

Here's my brother, Milo standing behind the guy in the maroon shirt. I'm not sure what he's doing, but this is the only picture I had of him. I only brought the camera out for about two minutes for one of their games.

I've seen A LOT of Tom's basketball games. I still love to watch him play!!!

Crazy Brady passing the ball to Tom. When I first saw Brady I had to laugh. He had these huge bushy sideburns and if I didn't know him, I'd think he was a little weird and crazy. Okay, actually he is a little weird and crazy and that's why we love him. But aren't we all just a little weird and crazy? I know I am!!

Here's my nephews, Malcolm and Quinn playing a little basketball. My sister, Shaila's husband, Matt, was originally supposed to play on the team with the guys instead of Richard. He was cut because Richard was better. Sorry, Matt! I still feel really bad that the guys did that to you. The guys took 1st in the tournament!!!

Here's some of the kids playing at the park. They had so much fun together and they all got so dirty!!

We had a little barbecue at the park between one of the games. All my Mom's children and theirs families were there and my cousin, Annelise and her family came with her sister, Kayce. It was nice to see a lot of people in one place since I hadn't seen them all in so long.

My Hair, UGH!!!

Nice picture, huh? I actually turned the camera over to Tom and let him take a picture of me! Can you believe it!? I must be going crazy, oh wait, I already am. I know it looks goofy, but if you know my husband, you'd understand. He was making me laugh, I started to lean forward and he captured it. But, sadly it was one of the better ones. Why am I so critical of myself in pictures?

Anyway, I'm so sick of my hair! I can't remember a time that it's been longer. I know it's been longer, just because I have a picture from 1st grade that proves it to me. I love my hair short. I don't like to pull my hair back in a ponytail, I just don't think it suits me. I've been forced to do so these last few months because Mason is constantly pulling at it if I don't.

I have not had my hair cut in almost a year. The last time was when Mason was a couple weeks old. I feel so yucky and outdated! It's driving me crazy, I'm ready to chop it off! So, I've been looking around and thank goodness we get American Idol here in England because I loved Gina Glocksen's hair. I'm also a rocker at heart, just don't have the talent! I've seen similar cuts in England, this just gives me a picture to show how I want mine done.

So, when we get back from England, the first thing I'm doing is getting my hair cut. I hope you don't mind doing it for me, Melanie! I need to make appointments for all four of us in a real bad way. We all look pretty run down, I'm willing to do ANYTHING for us to look decent again!!

Has anyone else seen a cut that you think would be good for me? I'm most definitely open to ideas. Please, send pictures my way or any ideas you have. I'm desperate!!
