Suggestions?

Now that Taylor's hair is shorter it is allot harder to get into a bun for dance. It was really easy when it was long. The only problem was the weight made it difficult to stay up. Now that it's short I am yet to figure out how to get it up.

So I come to you asking for help. Anyone who is willing please leave your suggestions in the comments section of this post and help a hair doing dad figure this one out. All suggestions are welcome.

She also has a recital coming up and I will need something special for that too.

So what are you waiting for? Help a good ole dad out won't ya?

Taking it All off!

Howdy!!! IM BAAACCK!! Yep you got it, I am again among the living. Still in some pain but it is tolerable at least.

This post will be my Wordful Wednesday. Please visit Angie to find out how you too can join in the fun!

I wanted to share with you something that has been on Carey and I's mind for quite some time now. Will's hair! We talked about it before, and I even put up a poll. We went back and forth, back and forth trying to decide on what to do. Well a decision was made and Carey let me put him in a MOHAWK!!!

You just look at these pics and tell me he's NOT the cutest thing EVER! I DARE YA!!

Oh and sorry for the quality of the pics, but every last one of them had to be shot as a reflection off of the mirror. Click on each pic for a better view!

These are the before pics (same day)!

A little hesitant at first.

Here's what I think of this idea Daddy! Oh and Carey will love this one too!

Ok........ All Better!!!

Oh shes gonna cut off my hair!!!

All those curls........

Wow, she's REALLY doing it....

Ok......THAT tickles!!!!!!!

HERE IT IS!....... Will: YYYYeah, Im not so sure about it.

AWWW YEAHH, Now Im LOVING it!

High five Daddy!

Watch these faces I can make now.... I look so different.

Im STILL soooooo cute!

SNIFF SNIFF :(

From 2 to 5 just like that!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers during my surgery and the ongoing recovery of it. They have meant so much to me and my family. God Bless you all.

For more Wordful Wednesdays see my good friend Ang at Seven Clown Circus!

To Cut of Not to Cut!

Take the poll!

We have been struggling with this decision for a while now. Cutting Will's hair. You can help by answering the poll in the right sidebar and letting us know in the comments what you think!

We know that if we cut it he will look all grown up and his curls will be all but gone. This is just so hard to stomach. We like his little boy look, but also know that he would be allot more comfortable in the Texas heat without it. So we go back and forth back and forth. To cut, or not to cut. That is the question of the day. Will you answer it for us?

This pic is a little outdated and his hair is even a bit longer now. I will post a more recent pic tonight or sometime tomorrow so watch for that and make sure your vote and comments are counted. Tell us what you think and why!

Love and Prayers,
