Head Shaving Extravaganza!!

well last night we attended the Bald is Beautiful: Head Shaving Extravaganza for Oliver Palmer!
we had so much fun. there was a great turnout, and the kids had a blast playing.
our after shot does not have as many because some people left before i could get them all in. however, here is the star of the evening...Oliver did awesome shaving his head and was pretty much all smiles.
here are a few other before and after shots.Ollie's grandpa Palmer**garran **Krista did not go completely bald, but she did give a good bit to locks of love!i had so many before and after pics i just had to collage a bunch.the picture on the left is Oliver with his grandma young. then the one on the right is the fun beginning!!Stacy and her mom were so funny. Karen was super brave and went for it. off went that hair!!
after Ollie and grandma went, we pretty much just lined people up and started shaving.grandpa Palmer is all business, Ollie is rocking it, & one last kiss goodbye to all that hair.mike & randythese boys were so sweet & well who could not use a good laugh...i had some fun with his hair before we went completely bald!Oliver was so excited to shave his dad's head. it was so funny. he was just laughing and smiling as the hair fell to the floor.time to bic those heads. this is garran shaving ollie's grandpa's head. it was like a barber shop at church last night. ;0)ed finishing up Oliver's head and then having a little fun with his own.while we wish we did not have to meet under these circumstances, we had a great time and sent home 21 people with beautifully bald heads. i was so glad i was able to snap a quick picture of the boys with Oliver. they just love playing with him and his brothers and sister. we were so happy to be there to support our friends last night.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
