Last weekend we got together and had a BBQ outside. The weather was great, (a little windy, but as is a Blanding spring) the food was fabulous, and so was the company. That morning we had cut Wyatt's hair so this was the first time they had seen it. They were all enthused, because most of Russ' family had been threatening to cut it for weeks.

This is the cutest! At the top of the hill the dirt was a little wet and the girls had gone up it so many times that it was really pretty slippery. Evan knew this because he had just made it to the top. Well Leilani starts to climb up the hill and started to slip a little at the top. Evan runs over and says "Lani grab my hand and I'll help you!" He then helped pull her up to the top. It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen. He really is so helpful, and Leilani was a good sport to allow him to help. 
And of course the ride back down the hill. This was the best part, and maybe the only reason why the kids climbed to the top was to slide back down. Needless to say the backside of those pants were brown for about 3 wash cycles.

Evan playing in the dirt. He wanted to climb up the hill all by himself. Leilani stood by for "just in case," he was able to make it up all the way by himself. He was so proud.

It actually goes quite a ways down his back. 
The first cut. I pulled it back into a pony tail and cut the pony tail off. (We've decided to keep the pony tail for his baby book. ) I almost cried. It was so sad for me, but he loves his new haircut too. 
He did so well he held still, didn't cry, and just watched while we cut it. I only had a hard time around his ears. 
Evan also had a haircut. He does not do well. We've tried everything from holding him, letting him cut part of Dad's hair, putting the buzzer on his arm showing him it doesn't hurt, to cutting it with scissors thinking maybe the sound bothered him, all to no avail he still hates getting a haircut. This is the reason why he always gets a quick and easy buzz cut because he'll only tolerate it for about 3 minutes before he goes ballistic.
....and the finished product. As you can see he is not a happy camper. Luckily, thanks to M&M's, he was over it in 30 seconds and we'll try again next month. 
In the end it turned out really good. I love Wyatt's haircut, everyone says it makes him look older which was what I was afraid of. I didn't want to cut his babyhair because to me it symbolizes the transition from babyhood to toddler. He did make a good transition and he is growing up so it was time. He looks so cute, either way. I love my boys what else can I say.
