Triumph!!

haircuts or "shortcuts" as the boys call them are usually a MISERABLE thing. i don't know why but they are terrified of it. we have tried all sorts of things to get them to not be scared. however, today we tried again, something i might add that we have tried before, but today something clicked!
cullan really needed a haircut and so we were bracing ourselves for the worst. cullan was starting to go into melt down mode and garran said, "why don't you cut it". for some reason this time the suggestion worked. Cullan was laughing and saying how cool it was to cut his own hair. daddy had to help with some touch up work, but i will take a so/so haircut with no screaming any day!!

Sam has had that same phobia of haircuts. He screams and complains that it hurts him (it's really just itches) but we finally figured out a trick too to make it bearable. But I wonder what he would think of shaving his own head?

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
