Huh.

Our lives are becoming less eventful this month, on purpose. I have deemed July the month of swimming and chill'n. Well, we did have a family reunion with the Wood side over the 4th, but somehow Travis and I did not get our camera outta of the car once. Maybe it was because we are lazy or maybe because we enjoyed seeing everyone that we didn't think about it. Maybe both. When we got home I was reminded how much I love to camp and Trav' was reminded how much he does not like it.

Anyway. I have been cutting Karsten's hair since his mortal existence began but lately Travis has joined in on the fun. He always says that the difference between a good haircut and a bad one is a couple of weeks. But I am the one that has to look at it everyday for the couple of weeks that it is trying to revive itself. Both my kids have Travis' hair... very fine... Taeg got my curls and they both got my cow-licks. Wood hair is thick and cow-licky, just touch Jeff's boys, Leslie's boys, Kim's boys or Dave's girl's hair... very thick, it is hard to find the scalp. One false move with the scissors and my children and husband will be wearing a hat because their hair is so soft and fine.

I must be getting better, because I have not seen a hat after the last few cuts.

disclaimer: I did not cut Taegan's hair. Kim did it over the reunion (while complaining the whole time!!). It looks so much better and it's so much easier to comb. Thanks Kim.

NOTE: Anyone that knew Travis at least 10 years ago probably would not have thought he would grow out his facial hair. But after 10 years of being married to a Wood and 8 years of Eugene, one is bound to relax a bit. Back off ladies, he is MINE!

p.s. I have no idea what my children at looking at. Maybe that is why I have stopped taking pictures!

While I'm trying hard to be really really ridiculously good looking, I'll explain the kids' wayward glances. Taeg' -- as usual -- is trying to sneakily pluck my arm hairs. I think Karst' just "stepped on a duck."

I have been cutting my boys hair for about 2 years. Last time I took Kaden in they made him look like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. I resolved never to pay for that again. Kai, however has asked for a "spiky" hair cut and I don't know how to cut styles, just buzz. I may have to break down and take him in.
As for Taegan's curly hair, I know of some great product that would make it really manageable. Try the TIGI shampoos, there's a TIGI control freak serum and then a paul mitchell (foaming pomade) I put on mine.
