What will 8 inches do?

A Lot!Yesterday the kids and I went to the local salon and they each got their hair cut. Paige has been wanting her hair short for a while now and since we are constantly finding fists full in Brock's sweaty hands and she is always pulling her clips and rubber bands out with chunks of hair (I swear this girl has no feeling on her head) we figured it was time for a good cut. Owen was not to be overshadowed by Paige and made sure to point out his new hair cut to his daddy and grandma as well. Paige loves the cut and says she can't believe how it feels.
Here is a before picture and as you can tell it was getting really stringy. Uh... I think this was long overdue.

I can't believe how long Paige's hair was! She looks so cute with her short hair! Now you and Paige look even more alike. I love Owen's too! Emily (Wight) I can't get this comment to work with my password.

So cute. As soon as I lose a few lbs. I think I will cut mine off.

Wendy said...

A lot? Your telling me. Now that's change! I think it makes her look older. probably because it's looks more full/less stringy. I can't wait to hear what Trevor thinks. She may get more attention from the fellas with this new do. Paige, you look smokin'.

Avie has hair to her waist, but she cries if I even mention cutting it. I'm sure she'll change her mind one day, but NOT today.

Diane said...

I agree with Wendy -- she totally looks like a school girl. Owen was so cute repeating "hair cut" and pointing to Paige's and his hair. Hopefully no more fist fulls of hair for Brock.

A good haircut feels so great. What a cute pair of kids fresh from the salon! Trims are in!

Jake, Cindy and Blaine said...

Adrienne said...

Seriously, how cute is Paige! She did need a trim, but she got a chop! But I love it....its always cute to see little girls with short, styled hair! I just cannot believe how WHITE her hair is...and Owen is so cute, too!

Sara Decker said...

How cute are they...nothing like a haircut to make your kids grow up in an instant. They both look so big.

Jenny said...

She looks adorable. And I love the big huge grin on her face - missing all those teeth!

Tonight Cate's hair was in pigtails, and Brad mentioned how cute her hair would be short. I started laughing and said that she would look like Annie if I cut her hair. Thinking I meant my niece Annie, he said, "That wouldn't be so bad." "No, No," I corrected... "Orphan Annie!"
Maybe someday Cate will have a nice thick head of hair like Paige-y!

Nice cut! They looks so cute and I agree, Paige looks older with the shorter style.

She looks so cute with 8 inches off! Her hair was so long. I had never cut Haven's hair until yesterday. It seriously won't grow!

Meggan said...

Wow, that is definitely a haircut. I love the short bob. So much easier to do, huh? I kinda want to cut my girls hair, but they don't want to yet. Soon.

Annalee said...

I love Paiges new haircut. Short hair is so stinking cute on little girls.

Elena said...

Wow, Jessica -- I had no idea that Paige's hair was so long and stringy! Nice change, I love it. Owen looks like a great big boy, too.

Lori said...

I like Paige's new-do. Of course with that big smile any hair cut would be cute. I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see her in person without first seeing this post (plus I saw her from the back and couldn't actually believe it was her).

Stacy said...

Let Paige know that Lily loves the new cut. She thinks she is "so, so, cute".

Tarah said...

love the new doo! Shorter hair is easy maintenance, at least on little girls! I recently chopped Kaili's -- I love it!

Candice & Lindsey said...

She is so cute! I am always amazed at how blonde her hair is. Women pay hundreds, hundreds (as quoted from "Best in Show") for that color!

Jess, My blog is finally working again! www.rubymelt.blogspot.com
