Brody is almost 10 months old now and his hair was starting to hang over his ears. His "comb-over" would get in his eyes, too. Although I wasn't ready to tackle this "landmark," it was becoming a necessity. My Aunt Dee owns the Harbor Hairbender in Oqauwka, IL and I had asked if she would give him his first haircut. We don't get up there much, so I thought this would be a good way to spend part of our Fourth of July weekend, too. She also has blueberries and I was excited to pick some of those for blueberry muffins!
Brody wasn't real excited about our trip. He did wake up just as we were getting into Burlington to eat lunch and do a little shopping.

Mommy and Brody after the haircut! He was such a little trooper. He sat very well and even let Aunt Dee use the clippers around his ears.

Brody and his favorite hair stylist, Great Aunt Dee! He is such a little ham!

After the haircut and a snack and some playtime for Brody, we went out to pick blueberries. I threw a blanket on the ground and let Brody play in the shade. He did okay for awhile, but then I got behind a couple bushes and he couldn't see me. He was also tired, which didn't help. After spending some time running back and forth between Brody and the blueberries, we decided to call it a day. Aunt Dee fixed a wonderful supper that was very quick and easy. Following is the basic recipe:
Frozen bread dough (thawed and left to rise)
Meat (chicken, sausage, etc.)
Veggies (potatoes, peppers, onions, etc.)
Shredded cheese
Egg
Seasonings to taste
After the bread dough has thawed and been allowed to rise, roll it out fairly thin. Cook meat (she used chicken) and veggies (she used potatoes, green peppers, and onions) together in a skillet. Season with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you like. Place bread dough on a cookie sheet and place cooked meat and veggies along one edge. Mix up shredded cheese and egg(s) and pour mixture over the meat and veggies. Fold over dough to form a pocket around the filling. Seal edges. Bake at 400 for about 30-45 minutes.
Brody fell asleep before supper and they had company coming over around 6 pm. We left and headed home. It was a fun day and I was glad that we got to see Aunt Dee and Dennis.
