A.J. SHAVED HIS HEAD. He's been going shorter and shorter, and he decided to just go for it. He and his friend Jason shaved each other's...awww....They are twinners because they both wanted to have beards with bald heads. Classy.
AJ told me when he went to the DMV the day after, that there was a guy that kept giving him dirty looks the whole time. Then I realized why. Apparently if you sport this non-hairstyle some people consider you a racist, and if they are not of your race, then they might give you dirty looks at the DMV. I just thought it was funny. My baby ain't no Nazi.
Here's Jason mid-shave. This was AJ's idea. Had to get a pic.
Then I decided to get back to my roots. My Perkins roots that is. I'm a carrier of the ginger gene, although I was born with dark brown hair (Holley roots). All the freckles came from my dad's side, so now you have my coloring explained.
It all started in the 5th grade (probably too young but it made me the coolest kid in class). My mom let me dye my hair red for Halloween that year to complete my she-devil costume. After that I kept dyeing my hair for fun, through high school especially. Red, blonde, burgundy, black. It was fun. Then I decided to be all natural for a few years. Then I got bored. That was this morning.
Here's my before picture (sorry for the bathroom lighting)
Here's my hair dyeing t-shirt that hasn't been worn in so long...look at all the memories/stains.
My head is bleeding! Not.
And the after shot! I'm making this face on purpose, btw. Taking pictures of yourself can be awkward...
I wanted to see how much my hair would glow if I went outside. I was out there for approx. 3 seconds before my eyes started burning.
Here is why I remembered I love dyeing my hair so much:
-It's waaay cheaper than a salon
-It smells good when you're done
-The conditioner makes your hair feel amazing
-It's exciting to see how it turns out
-It's a fun change!
It's weird thinking I finally had my hair to 100% its natural color, only to change it allll in 25 minutes. Oh well. I think I'm afraid of being bored with my looks...that's why the long hair didn't last too long either.

Oh, and we had a fun weekend for AJ's birthday last week. I didn't post about it, but Andrea did, so I'm cheating and just linking you to her post :) Oh, and I just realized her blog is set to private, so I stole some pictures for those of you not invited to it (basically everyone that doesn't know her haha)
AJ and Richie
The whole gang
I'll sum it up: We went to the Timpanogos Caves, which includes a steep but paved hike, got a sweet tour of the cave's mineral formations and just enjoyed hanging out with Matt and Andrea and their kids Zoie and Jonas, and our friends Richie and Lori. Then when we got home I made BTS cake and we ate it for a week straight after.
And Happy Birthday to Ashlee tomorrow! She's the coolest sister AJ has! And she's my buddy...aww...
Okay, and I forgot about one other thing. My friend Blaire makes really cute baby clothes and just made some Halloween costumes that are super cute too. I've got her little Elliette Baby button on my profile on the side. I just helped her design her site, so take a look and enjoy its cuteness. Haha. If you love her stuff, she's got an Etsy shop all set up.

LOVE the hair. Not too red, but just red enough to be super cool but not scary. I'm so jealous of your awesomeness.
I am so proud that you want to be like me! I know you said you dyed it in 5th grade but you and I both know that you always LOVED my hair but you were just too proud copy me!:)hehehe You look amazing though! I love the hair!
That outside shot makes you look like a Cullen. ;)
Looks cute. I've always liked red myself.
you new hair color is so cute. i took the blonde highlights out and now its back brown....a little darker than my natural color, but i think i like it with the blonde better. when are you coming to texas to visit?
he really did shave his head. boys! what is their deal. freakin' nazi. lol. i love your hair red. it's so freakin hot!!! work it girl!
Thanks for the birthday wishes Hil! Your hair looks super cute. Soooo, I got to thinkin... Haha, umm ok. so when AJ goes to Mexico you should come to Rexburg and hang out with me! That way you won't be home alone, and I won't be bored out of my mind. Amazing!
Great hair color. I let my hair grow out to the natural color after I got married and it took forever. When I finally cut off the last of the dyed ends I realized that I really don't like my natural color. It's too boring, so I started coloring it again. I still can't believe that I wasted all that time looking horrible with my roots growing out. Anyways, your hair looks awesome and glad you guys had fun for AJ's bday. When and where is he going to Mexico?
i've always wanted to be red! its not my roots, at all, but i tried to make it so last summer- it just looked brown with a little red tint to it- not full blown like i wanted it. so i've left it natural ever since and i like it... but seeing your hair reminded me of my red hair dream- nice work.
Who says I'm NOT a Cullen? Buwahaha...
AJ's going to Mexico in a month I think. He said it's right outside Mexico City in a scary place...
And Kim, when are you coming to Utah to visit? :) Let's face it, it's more likely for you to be in my neighborhood than me in yours! But if we ever make it to Texas, we definitely have a few stops to make!
I love your hair!! You look hot. I wish my husband wasn't COMPLETELY opposed to me doing something different with my hair :(
yeah, you are sexy with red hair! But hey, don't go dissin' salons biatch! ahha
