Summer Buzz

Somebody got their hair buzzed and is now ready for summer!

Sophie's Hair

Somebody cut the end of her pig tail off.  Good thing she looks cute with short hair.

Haircut Time

My new do

I decided it was time to mix it up a little so today at my hair appointment we went a bit "edgier"  and cut the bottom super super short (almost shaved).  I really like it - fun and still feminine. 

Haircuts

Todd buzzed the boys hair on Saturday. I of course didn't want Luke to cut his hair since I'd rather he grow it out again...but he really wanted it shaved. Last week he took a hit to the eye from a light saber so he had a tough looking wound on his face. Todd decided to cut his hair into a mohawk to send to Mark. So Luke did his tough guy face and pose then asked Todd to shave off his mohawk.

Ryan was at our house while the haircuts were going on and said he wanted his hair buzzed too. Todd made him run home to ask if it was ok and even after he told us it was ok I made sure to call Christine just to make sure. They boys all look cute with their new summer haircuts.

A new do

Today when I sat down in the chair my hair dresser said "do you want to keep the same length or should we do something new?" I'm always up for something new so I told him to do whatever he wanted and to make me look good. I am happy with the results. It feels great to have less hair, it will fix fast, I think this might make me run faster (ha!) and it's stylish. I am now officially ready for the seasons to change....now if it would just warm up and stop snowing!

Claire's New Haircut

Yesterday when I got to my parents house for dinner I noticed a nice chunk out of Claire's hair. I asked her what happened and she and Bella admitted to cutting her hair. Luckily it wasn't too short and I have been thinking about cutting her hair into a bob for a while now. These pictures aren't the best since I took them with my phone.

Bella (the stylist) and Claire

Desi was coming to dinner that night so Heidi called her and had her bring her scissors (or shears as they are really called). So we were able to take care of the issue quickly.

here she is with a flower in her hair
(she wanted to make sure that even with short hair she could wear bows & flowers)

I think the short hair makes her features stand out more and makes her even more beautiful.

New Haircut

I was trying to grow my hair out so that I could have a ponytail by Wasatch Back this June but I was just not loving my hair so I got it cut today. I just wanted it to look good and I can always grow it out later.

New Haircuts

Tuesday night Luke and I got haircuts...aren't they so cute?

There are a few stories associated with my haircut. First, I've been going to the same person for like 16 years (I've been with him longer than with Todd...ha ha) but recently one of my old roommates from BYU moved back to Provo and when I lived her she was in beauty school and is absolutely fabulous with hair and knows me and my style so I trust her completely. It's funny though because I really do feel like I broke up with him. But I'm very happy with my choice :)

Second, last weekend in Park City we were sitting in the restaurant and this girl walked in and I just loved her haircut. I thought to myself....wow, she is sassy. So the next time she walked in I showed her to the girls and asked if they liked her haircut. Every time I saw her I liked her hair more and more then I didn't see her again and I had wished I took a picture of her haircut. Well luckily when we walked outside she was sitting there so Traci took my phone and took a picture of her. I was totally giggling because there was nothing anywhere near the girl that you would want a picture of but Traci was pretending to take a picture of this crazy pole. (I thought about posting the picture...but that's too much to post a picture of someone I don't know she might find out then I would feel really silly)

So when I got to my hair appointment I showed Morinda the haircut and told her I was thinking about cutting my hair like that after the marathon and did she think it would look good on me and work with my hair. She loved it and the more we looked at the picture and talked about it the more I wanted to do it so we did and I am very happy with how it turned out.

Also, this is the first time that I have LOVED a haircut Luke has gotten. He always ends up with bad haircuts because his curls are a little hard to trim without going to short but not this time. And yesterday on my run my hair was fantastic and I think it will be great marathon hair....plus I feel sassy :)

Claire's First Haircut

Today I took Claire to get her hair cut - her first real haircut. I cut her bangs a few times when she was little but really she's never had a haircut.

during

playing the iPhone so she would hold still

after

I promised her ice cream if she was good.
So we headed to McDonalds for a vanilla cone - her favorite.

Tonight after her bath her hair curled up so cute. I absolutely LOVE her hair cut - you can't really tell a difference since it still has most of it's length. But all the dead ends are gone and there are a few layers and it is adorable.

My boy Tayson

Today was the UVU No Snow 5K. It was the only 5K I could find in the valley this month. I had no idea what to expect and no-one to run with and it was inside. I wasn't expecting any serious running to happen. So I changed my game plan and asked Tayson if he wanted to run it with me. He loves to run but has never run that far. It was so cute how excited he was to go run with me.

Tayson ran his little legs off and we had so much fun. We ran our first mile just over an 11 min/mile pace. Not bad for a 6 year old. The second part of the race was a little slower and he took a few more walking breaks and drink breaks, but still ran the majority of the time. The best part was how competitive he was - if he saw someone coming up behind us when he was walking he would start running again and at full speed. There were 2 other kids that ran and he just kept saying how he was beating them and they were older (the little girl beat him but don't tell him that). I hope he keeps running - I think he has potential.


I LOVE how sweaty he gets!!!

New haircuts

Tayson and I both got our hair cut last week so we took a picture of ourselves to post. This is the shortest we've ever buzzed Tayson's hair but he wanted it all gone. He actually asked to have it bald but this was close enough. Wednesday's are his day for show-n-tell and he was so excited to show off his new haircut. He wore his hat to school to keep warm and he said when he took his hat off lots of the kids in his class laughed at him. When he told us he was so sad so I took the chance to talk to him about how being different isn't bad and all that jazz - until Todd told me I had talked long enough :) Then he was telling us how if someone else got their haircut that short he wouldn't laugh at them and he told us that only girls can't cut their hair that short. Then he said "but if I saw a girl with hair this short instead of laughing I'd tell her she was cool". I thought it was so sweet....man I love that kid!

I'm Feelin' Sassy

I have been growing my hair out for 2 1/2 years and I just chopped it all off. It feels great to have a new do.


Not a great picture...but I hate taking pictures of myself and don't want to ask a coworker to take one of me at work.
Can you tell I LOVE this shirt? I wear it way too much.

Flashback Friday

It's here again! I look forward to Friday's all week - last day of work and I get to find something crazy for my blog. I decided to do a post on a few of my hair styles. I'm sure I could put up a picture starting at birth and going every 3-5 years and have some great shots...but that would be a lot of pictures so I'm only doing a few. I'm sure there will be more in the future.


This is when I was between 12 and 18 months old and I was completely bald. Notice how much hair Sherry had when she was 3. Talk about a complex!


Now at 4 years old my mom could finally put my hair in pig tails...barely.


In Kindergarten I'm guessing my mom gave up on fighting with my lack of hair so she cut it short and I looked like a boy for several years of my life. Honestly I was asked if I was a boy at least once that I can remember around this age.


My senior year picture (1990)...what in the world!!! I had quite the perm and I knew how to use Aquanet and a blow dryer like a professional.

A bad hairday....

Poor Luke! He got the worst haircut of his life this past weekend. I can't fully blame the girl at SuperCuts...he was a little wiggly. But honestly it looks like he cut his own bangs and we tried "fixing" the problem. UGH! After calling him "Lloyd" from Dumb and Dumber for an entire day Timmy decided to take the clippers to Luke's head and fix the problem. Now he just looks like he's ready for summer and the pool. (Which we are all ready for at this point....I'm getting sick of all this snow!). The sad part is that I love Luke's hair long - it's soft and wavy and so cute when it's longer and I love to play with it and of course the best part is that it covers up his huge block head. Oh well at least all hair cuts are temporary and at least it wasn't my hair that got botched up so bad - could you imagine if I had to buzz it all off to fix the problem. AHHHHHHHHHH!

after supercuts - check out the sweet line right on top of his head (not the best pictures...but they were taken on a phone and he wouldn't hold still)


and the final buzz
