We can see his eyes again!

Barrett was long overdue for a haircut.  His bangs had gotten so long that it was hard to see his eyes.  They were becoming a real problem during his swimming lessons.  I finally scheduled an appointment and made the trip down to Salt Lake to have his hair cut.  He was so good and cooperative and even wore the cape without any fuss, that it made me reflect back the first few times I had his hair cut and what an ordeal it was.  He really is getting to be a big boy!

This was still about 3 weeks before it was finally cut.

It was long enough for his sisters to give
 him this crazy hairdo!

Here's the after photo.  My Mom 
thinks I didn't get enough cut off.

She's probably right.  I always tell the girl to cut
it with scissors and do a shag.  Justin likes to
keep Barrett's hair on the long side and that is
our compromise.  However, I am thinking of 
getting it cut nice and short with the clippers for
the summer.  The only problem is Barrett seems to 
prefer it longer too.  He's been complaining that
he doesn't like his short hair.

No You're Not Going Crazy

Yes it has been a month since I've done a new post.  I've had a mental block lately in regards to my blog.  I finally finished three posts this morning, but I retroactively dated them to December. It is my plan to have my blog published into a book for our family to keep so I wanted those posts back in December where they belong.  I have one more post for last year and then hopefully I'll be caught up  and able to start on 2009!
