Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow


My trip to Idaho was so much fun!

I have driven over and back eleven times,
 since Kimmy and family moved there almost 
two years ago
 (November of 2012).
I know because I have a note book that I
 have recorded each drive.
(This does not  include the two times I have flown!)

It's beginning to get harder and harder to keep track and remember each trip. 
So I have started giving a name or title to each visit.

This visit is called the Hair Trip.

I have been looking for a new stylist and
 trying to decide on a new hair style.
Kimmy suggested that I come over and try her stylist.
Well, that's all it took. 
Book it Kimmy. I'll be right over.
(I'm being funny. It's an eight and a half hour drive)


But.... I wasn't the only one with a new hairstyle.

Levi got a buzz cut.

Lulu tried the braid look and the "after" was so cute!

Ila May, well, she always has a new "hat" on her head.

Then there is Silas. 
This is his before and after picture. 
On the left, was 5 days before his Open Heart surgery.
The picture on the right, is just a few days ago!
Look at the difference!
It's only been three months!
Not only does he look so good but he is active and talking!
Praise God!
Yes, we have an awesome God!


Here we are showing off our new hair styles before heading to church.

Each trip I get more familiar with the surroundings.
This trip Mark took us for a drive to
Celebration Park, which just happens to be Idaho's first
Archaeological Park.

 It was beautiful and very, very hot.

The kids and Mark ran across this bridge.
While Kimmy, Silas and I walked.

Such a great time!

Yes, God is good!
Praise God!

  7. While I loved the entire post (even though I now have the song "Little Bunny Foo Foo" running through my head like that bunny ran through the forest ), my favorite part was the before and after of little Silas. What an AMAZING God we serve. I couldn't help but think that it's very much the same when that same God does spiritual surgery on our hearts.

  8. This is funny because when I say your photo on facebook I thought, "doesn't her hair look great".

    Great cuts all around.
