Mothers Day and haircuts

I am a little late in posting about Mother's Day, but I'll do it anyway (: It was a great day and I felt really loved. The kids must have been crafting for a week! Between school presents and the ones they made at home, there was ALOT! One of my favorites was the necklace Jonnie made me out of of yarn that had paper on the end that said "cool mom" it was adorable! Jon also bought me a beautiful necklace that I was very surprised to get. (: We went out for brunch with the Swanson's that morning and then over to Chrissy's for dessert and coffee with mom later that day. It was a very nice day! I would put more pictures of the day but the only ones I had I was in bed opening up my gifts and you really don't want to see pictures of me just getting out of bed (:


Today, Jonnie REALLY wanted to get his haircut. I had mixed emotions because I think he looks so cute with his longer hair. I then realized it is his hair and if he wants it short who am I to say he can't. He looks cute with short hair, too. I just so happen to have had my camera in my purse and I took some pictures just to embarrass him....luckily I had my camera and you will find out in just a sec........
Before....

After.....so handsome!
He looks a lot older in the after photo, doesn't he?

Now for the reason why I was glad I had my camera. During Jonnie's haircut, Sawyer kept saying "me, har tut?" and I kept saying no, not yet, etc. So anyway, as we were about to leave, Denny (our barber) grabbed Sawyer and put him on the chair. Sawyer didn't know what to think and was scared. Denny kept giving me the look and shooshing me away so I didn't make him think there was something wrong, so I stood back and kept saying how fun it was and he was doing great. Next thing I know he got out the hair clippers (razor, I don't know what you call it, I guess) and let Sawyer see it and then he started putting it around Sawyer's head-at this point I still thought he was just getting Sawyer used to it all and not scare him and before you know it he started trimming up his hair!! It all happened so fast and I wasn't ready! I also didn't want him to see me react and think it was a bad thing so I quick grabbed my camera and took a few pictures of his impromptu haircut. Denny informed me that it wasn't his first haircut and that he just trimmed up the wispys, but I LOVED his little wispys so I am a little sad!! Honestly, you can't really tell he had anything trimmed-it just looks shorter and cleaner in the back. I am just really happy that Sawyer thought it was pretty cool and sat there so good and I hope next time he will sit just as nice (:

Not to sure about all this.....

I guess this is pretty cool and I feel like a big boy....

All trimmed up!
So there it is and I am a little sad still. He was finally getting some hair....sniff....He thinks he looks pretty cute, though (:

OH MY GOSH LORRIE!!!!! I wouldn't have expected that he would cut his hair, either! I'm shocked. Doesn't Denny know that us Mom's love our baby's wispy hair? I'm a little sad, too. But I am glad for Sawyer...he's such a big boy now. :( Can't wait to hear about it today. :)

Jonnie looks as handsome as ever! Hey, do you watch Dancing with the Stars? We did last night, and the first couple of the little kids that danced...the boy looked just like Jonnie, we thought. Or, he had Jonnie's eyes...Jonnie's smile is much cuter than that boy's. I couldn't stop laughing...just imagining Jonnie dancing like that. Too cute!

I can't believe this! That little runt won't even let me touch him and he lets a total stranger put a noisy razor to his head!? I'm in shock! sniff...sniff

ugh-I thought I had responded to this days ago!
I also can't believe he cut his hair! I can only imagine the look on your face when he did it! What did he say afterwards? Did you say something?

Love Jonnie's new cut! He is just getting soooo big :(

I know dad, I was in shock,too that he wasn't screaming! He just watched Jonnie, so I think he felt like a big boy. Yes, Julie I did but what can you do, I couldn't have him stop after doing one part and he insisted it wasn't his first haircut (: HOnestly, it really isn't that noticeable (:

I love the old timey barbor shop! The old man looks adorable--Jonnie obviously adores him:). First hair cuts are hard! I remember cutting Aidan's for the first time and sobbing after my first chop. His wispies will be mourned-but he's a fine looking young lad:)
XOXO

Yes, Danielle, Denny is very adorable. I loved bringing my boys there. He always remembered them, too. I think he still asks Lorrie about them, sometimes. :( All the boys look the same when they walk out of Denny's. He definetely has a favorite hair cut for them all. :) I think it's adorable, too.....Tanner, not so much.
