The rest of the haircut story :)

Alright, so what you couldn't see in Asher's hair was the minor mistake on the other side of his head behind his ear! :) I decided that I could fix it with Lee's beard trimmers, but it was much easier said than done! Asher was leaning his head into the vibrating beard trimmers, and although they weren't hurting him I couldn't see that it was taking off more than I wanted!!! Soooooo, Lee made the executive decision to just shave his head! I was pretty sad, but at least he doesn't look like he has patchy hair! Poor guy! I'm pretty embarrassed, but not enough to not posts the pics! Hehehe!





Here's the picture of what Asher's hair looked like after the scissor cut I did. Not too bad, just a few spots to blend behind the ears, and a little hard to see in this pic!








Here's the pic of the "after Momma used the beard trimmers" look. So, if he hadn't been leaning into the beard trimmers...I guess I should have waited for Lee to come home and help me with it! Hahaha!








Another angle of the crazy mess I made of my son's hair!!! I know, pretty bad! Poor guy!!!










Here's what Daddy did with the beard trimmers!!! He's still such a cutie, and I think he was proud of his hair do! :)








When his hair dries it gets lighter, so he almost looks bald! I know it will grow, and Lee said it will be thicker when it grows in. He'll have a little more hair tomorrow! And he's still sooo cute!!! I'm a little biased, though!



So, that's my whole story! I'm still very proud of girls' hair, and I SOOOOO glad that I didn't do this much damage to their hair!!! That would have been devastating! I guess I'm just not good with the beard trimmers! Hahaha! I'm also glad that it wasn't Lee's hair! That would have been an interesting conversation starter! I think I'll stick to letting him pay for his haircuts! :)

3 First Haircuts!!!

Soooooooo...I was inspired by Carleigh to cut my girls' hair!!! Hahaha! Lenci's hair hasn't grown as fast as Zoe's did, so it all started when I was just looking at her and decided to giver her some bangs! It went well, so I figured I do Zoe's hair!!! It has needed a trim since it gets tangled so easily these days! So, I did it! :) I felt so good about it I went back and did a little more trimming on Lenci's in the back! Hahaha! I think it looks just like a little pixie cut! And Zoe's turned out great too! I tried Asher's as well, but I think we're going to have to do some damage control with the beard trimmers when Lee gets home! Hahaha! Oh, well! Not too bad for my first go at hair cutting! And it was actually REALLY fun!!! :) Thanks for the inspiration, Carleigh, and great job on Audrey's hair! :) Here are the pics!




Here's Lenci's new do!!! I think she looks soooo cute with her new bangs! We'll see how it does! Sometimes it gets a little curly, and I don't know what that will look like! :)







Eating the vanilla cookie after the haircut! Mmmmm! I just love this one! I'm a sucker for action shots! ;)









Here's Zoe modeling her new haircut!!! She was really nervous until Lenci didn't wince when I snipped her hair! :) They were both pretty good about it, considering that it was their first haircuts!!! :)







And here's the back of Zoe's hair. I trimmed only the really thin parts off, and it made it look sooo much fuller! Then I put some of my Curls Rock in it! It made it curl up! ;) Soooo cute! :)






Here's Asher's new haircut. These were all taken on my phone, so this one's not as clear! :)

Happy Chinese New Year...well, belated!!! ;)

I think I'll post a few pics from when we went to Chinatown!!! It was soooo neato! Here they are!



Here we are walking down the street and stopping for a quick pic!!! :) The streets were sooo steep! I was surprised at how well the kids did with walking! They sure slept well that night!




Lee and I are picking little Chinese outfits for the kiddos! I will post a pic of them! ADORABLE!!! They wore them to church last Sunday! They just needed some little chopsticks in their hair...but that wouldn't have been so safe for toddlers, hahaha!




Here's Zoe posing in front of the adorable dolls!!! We were picking out their outfits, and my dad took this one! I don't think I knew how long she was looking at them or we may have gotten one for her!!! But she sure looks like a doll in her outfit!



Lenci LOVED the eggdrop soup we had at the restaurant we ate at! We were shocked to find this little hole in the wall place!!! It was AMAZING and authentic and cheap! ;) Soe of the stuff reminded me of some of the dishes in Taiwan that I had! :) Mmm!



Zoe loved it too, but Zoe is the non picky one!!! I was shocked that Lenci ate the soup! :) Shocked but thankful!!! :)





Sooo, I went and took some pics of them in their outfits in the middle of this blog!!! Hahaha! They loved it, but I just know that since I didn't get them done on Sunday it would be hard to do it in another time, so here are a few! ;)






Another one posed with Asher in the chair! I put lip gloss on the girls so that they would be more likely to sit still and smile! :) Asher was a little wiggly, okay, a lot wiggly! You can see it on the girls' faces! Hahaha!







Here they are in the girls' room playing silly! It's a good shot of the whole dresses and Asher's full outfit! It almost looks like they're saluting him? I have no idea, I was just snapping the camera! :)










Zoe posing for me!









Here's Asher too! I couldn't get Lenci to sit still for me to get a shot of her alone!









This is the best I could get of Lenci, but her hair was sooo sweet! :)




So, I just read that many people celebrate Chinese New Year for 15 days after it starts!!! Very exciting since I decided to post these today! :) How fun!!! I think I should take advantage of that and have Chinese food tomorrow for dinner!!! :) Any excuse to have some yummy food that we don't eat very often!!!

So...I got the pic!

In the blog before last I showed one pic of Lenci before she got bamboozled by the wave! Well, I got the other ones from my dad!!! I thought there was one, but he got a pic from his vantage point and the one of her after it happened!!! I know it seems cruel that we were taking pics of this event, but we really didn't know that it was going to happen!!! It all happened so fast! In fact, our feet got wet and I had my shoes and socks on! Zoe's shoes almost got swept into the ocean! I was really kind of freaked out about the whole thing! Sooo, here they are! :)



Here's one of Zoe running from the wave!








Here's one of Lenci running from my dad's camera!








Here's one of Lenci running from my camera!!! Not quite fast enough! :(







Here's Lee being a great daddy and pulling her out of the water! I think he's laughing out of shock!!! Poor Lenci!!!






Aunt Cassie came to the rescue with warm winter jacket!!! We still had a great time at the beach, but needless to say we went home next!!! Hahaha! :)
