It's time

Yes, I know these look like happy, sloppy mug-shots, but this is the before.

I love the boys long hair. I know they look like ragamuffins. I know they look unkept, homeless and a little disheveled, but I still liked it. I think it went along with their personality. The long hair made their reckless, crazy behavior all the more endearing. I think I would tell myself, "Of course they would act like rebels and little out of control because they have long rebellious hair....they are just playing the part" I think I also thought that if we cut it into a nice clean, missionary-type cut, they would not fit the role very well. Ummmm, probably not at all.
But, the day came. We haven't cut their hair since last September and Dax asked for it to get cut a little. It hung in his eyes and Wyatt was brushing his out of his face like a little girl with whispies that had flown away. I could put Wyatt's hair into piggies. When your sons hair can fit into a rubberband, no matter how badly you want to keep it, it's time for a cut.
So, here they are. With foreheads, ears and nape of their necks that haven't been seen for months.

Well, they look stinkin cute BOTH ways. I totally hear ya on the long hair thing. I love when my boys hair is longer. My husband pulls for shorter. But, the long hair is just endearing to me. Unfortunatly Tanner found scissors to his hair and it ended up having to be shaved. Very sad to me. Hopefully it grows back soon. But, these little guys look stinkin cute with their new dues!

I have never thought Wyatt looks more like Austin than I do in that short hair picture! That is crazy! I can't believe how blue his eyes look when you can actually see them ;) I LOVE both of their hair cuts. Don't let their necks get sun burned!

I'm a fan of the faux-hawks! They look so cute! I can't believe how much it changes their looks.
