Bald is Beautiful (Handsome)

Happy Six Months Monson! My bald headed babies bring me such joy!! Lots of people comment that Monson looks just like his Dad, I think it has a lot to do with their matching hair style. Not many can sport the look and still look good, but they both can pull it off. Friday Kent and I ran in a benefit 5K for our good friend Travis Poll who is battling cancer. Kent and T have been friends since they were 5 years old. In honor and support of Travis, he shaved a T on the back of his head. We love you Travis. You are in our every prayer. Truthfully we almost forgot why we were at the 5K. We had SO much fun. It was great to see so many old friends and just hang out and visit. There truly is strength in numbers. It was remarkable to see all the support. Check out Mandy's blog for more details/pictures their story is truly inspirational. http://www.wonderingsofawannabe.blogspot.com/

JUST A FEW FUNNIES ABOUT THE "T"...
*Kent shaved his head, then remembered he had a lunch date with Kenna at the elementary. Kenna was a little embarrassed but felt pretty cool when all the kids kept asking if that was her dad.

*At the 5K two different bishops came up to Kent and jokingly said he had an inappropriate hair style for a bishop. However buddies of 25plus years vs. Bishop of 6 months... being a true friend came out on top.

*Seeing the youth in our ward take pictures with their cell phone of the Bishop - now that's a good connection.

*Went over to the Distribution Center after the race and the looks we got were hilarious, perhaps they thought the "T" stood for Temple. Kent was picking up a few things for the ward and when they were confirming whom the Bishop of the ward was they paused for a moment when Kent said Kent Hyer and they had just saw his recommend with the matching name. He apologized and said he normally looks a little different.

*Went out to eat and the little boy sitting behind us whispered to his mom, 'somebodies been writing on that mans head'.

What a fun day. It was a good reminder that you can't judge a book by it's cover and that friendship runs deep. I was a proud wife. I am so thankful for good friends and to have Kent as my best friend. He is such an example to me of not caring what other people think and just doing what is right. I love his carefree attitude and not sweating the small stuff. Just one more funny... his motiviation for running as well as he did -21min. Some punk kid :) (name is being withheld to protect the guilty) said "Nice 'T' too bad, your going to be at the back of the pack and no one will be able to see it." Kent showed him. He may be old, bald and a bishop but he still has skill and determination. Reed, Travis's Dad, made Kent's day when he said that Kent was the first person he knew to cross the finish line. Way to go Kent!! Little Monson, here's hoping you inheret more than just your dad's hair because he has so much to offer.
