Brayden's First Haircut

My sweet (now 1 yr old) son, Brayden, got his first haircut today!  I have been wanting to get it cut for some time but held off until after his first birthday. A friend warned me that if I cut it before then, he wouldn't look like my little baby anymore making the transition harder.... for ME.  Boy was she right! He looks like a little toddler now! I'm super picky when it comes to who cuts our (mine and Ilah's) hair, so no kiddie barbershop was touching my son's hair (plus, I've seen some pictures of other parents complaining about their work). I took him to see our stylist, Lee, from Regis Hair Salon. She's great and a perfectionist! Brayden did AWESOME!! Not once did he cry, throw a fit, or anything. He sat there as curious as could be :) Here are some pics of Brayden's First Haircut, with captions of course ;) Enjoy!

Getting prepped

The First Snip

I almost forgot to save a lock of hair! My "always thinking of these things" husband reminded me

and one of the other stylist was kind enough to make a little

Big sister, Ilah, was a big help as always!

Keeping her little bro entertained

This is so much fun!

Okay, I'm a little over it now

I think I'll check out the lights up there for a little bit

Whoa, what's that?

He's still not sure about that blow dryer

Getting styled

Ta-Da!! My new 'do!

 (Miss Lee went a little nuts with the

spikes and pomade and he ended up with a little bit

of an Adam Lambert look, which was okay... this one time)

My First Post!

So, I've been wanting to start blogging for a while now, I just didn't know where to start.  I wanted a cute layout and all that good stuff but I don't know how to do it, so if anyone wants to help me with that, you are awesome!  I wanted to start blogging not because my life is so fabulous and I want the world see how awesome I am, but because I'm a little over Facebook as far as letting people see all my photos or thoughts.  I know I do post quite a bit there because, well honestly, there is a severe lack of adult interaction in my neck of the woods.  Seriously, it's enough to drive a person to reveal waaayyy too much online ;)  So I've decided to use this blog to post pictures and other random things I think are share worthy. Of course I'll still have my fb account.  I mean, I'm not THAT crazy to just get rid of it. Plus, it's a GREAT way to promote my little side business The Sassy Bug.  Go ahead and click on the link and check it out.... I'll wait for you......

Okay, glad you made it back, cute stuff, huh?!? ;)Now, where was I... oh yeah, so yes, I'll keep my facebook. I love keeping up with my friends and family.  It makes living so far away a little better.  "So far away" happens to be Honolulu, Hawaii.  I know, I know, it's paradise. Perfect 80 degree weather everyday, beaches galore, mountains, and lava flows....paradise.  Well, that's all nice and quite lovely, but I've learned through living here, that paradise is where your friends and family are...everyone together now, awwwww!!!  But seriously, I took for granted being able to go visit family or hang out with friends.  It's something I hope to be better about when we move back to Mainland USA (fingers crossed for summer 2013!!)  I have met a handful of fabulous ladies, whom I consider great friends, who have made living here so much fun and without them, I'm sure I would have gone NUTS!!  The sad thing is that a few are them are leaving this summer and in the fall :(  More on that another time :( --yeah, it's worthy of 2 sad faces.

Well, not to end with sad faces, but I think that's good for now.  I'm not sure how often I'll post, if my Facebook status updates tell you anything, it will be quite often haha! Oh, and I wasn't kidding about needing a cute layout for this blog! If you know what you're doing, let me know!
