Noah's Extreme Make-Over

Do any of you remember Noah's "Terry Bradshaw" haircut for Awana crazy hair night last year? Well, that crazy 'do resulted in us having to completely shave Noah's head. He's been growing his hair out ever since and had emassed quite a bundle of blonde locks. But .... it was driving me crazy! So, being the great kid that he is, he agreed that it was time for a change. We, of course, enlisted my best friend, Martina, to take on the challenge!

Here's Noah before:

And after:

Cute kid, huh? Thanks, Noah, for being willing to cut off the locks to make your mom happy!

Oh, yeah, and here are the dads playing with Abby and Biz's pink DSs during the haircut :-)

77 days till disneyland...

2008: disneyland california adventure... we love to eat here while we are there... gwen loves the shrimp louie and i usually get the clam chowder or potato soup in a sourdough bread bowl...

the kids eat at the mission tortilla company and love getting their nachos there... they are both right next to each other so its very convenient...

in 2008 when gwen and i went down in september they were all decorated for halloween.... down to the cups and napkins.... every detail... very cool... maybe some year we will make it for CHRISTmas...

78 days till disneyland...

2005: disneyland turned 50 years old... what a great year to go and experience the celebration...
