The Petersen Family Haircut's!

Here it goes we had a family hair cut day! We started out with dad getting his lovely locks chopped! His hair was getting super long (He had wanted to get his hair cut for weeks, but I told him that he had to wait till I could make an appointment for all of us, because it would be something fun to blog). His haircut isn't anything dramatic or crazy but it is still worth blogging.

Then we had Kaden go. This is his first haircut, and he did absolutely fantastic. I was really nervous he was going to be a handful, but with his daddy holding him he didn't have a problem. We documented the whole thing, here is just a few of the pictures.

Last but not least it was my turn! I had been wanting to donate my hair again for a long time, I just have not had the guts to be able to chop it short! Jake really wanted me to cut my hair short, so if he wanted me to and it turned out like crap I could blame him, also if I loved it I would have to give coo doe's to him also! Another reason that pushed me to do it was Jake's beard! He has had it since about Christmas time, and I think I mentioned it in an earlier post that the beard is not my fav. and I have been trying to come up with ways that I can get him to shave it. Well, I thought that this would be the perfect chance, He wants me to cut my hair, and I want him to cut his beard. So I told him that if I cut my hair then he would have to shave his beard (this is what threw me over the edge to chop the locks)! I decided that I was going to let Natalie cut it how ever she wanted as long as it made my face look thinner (if that could happen) and something cute! Well I thought that she did a great job!

The New Petersen's Hairdo's
Well, it has been a week with our new Hairdo's and I love mine, even though I haven't quit figured out how to make it look this good! Kaden has had a really hard time with his haircut, I never realized it before but he use to play with his hair for comfort, I knew that he always felt it but I just thought that he did it because it was there, not because he was attached to it! Well, when he gets tired or hungry he goes to play with his hair and he can't find it so he arches his back and gets even more mad! Oh well he looks super cute with the new do! He was also not very happy that I cute my hair. We got our haircuts on a Thursday night and he refused to look at me until Sunday! The first time I had fed him it took 45 min. because he was not sure if he was getting his food from the right place! And for Jake, he has still not shaved off his beard, but he said after the super bowl he would (he said that ever since he started to grow it, the Cardinals have been winning. I don't want to be the source for them losing the Superbowl. After that it better be gone)!
