Penelope’s mom is awesome. Penelope’s Mom let her cut the hair of a disembodied Barbie head.
She let her give Barbie a shoulder length trim first.
Then she gave her what I believe my hair-cutting sister-in-law called a graduated bob.
Then Penelope’s mom let her cut some more, and some more, and…well, now Penelope just pretends Barbie is undergoing chemotherapy. She’s started a prayer chain.
Penelope’s mom is awesome. Penelope’s mom let her stay up extra late last night.
And let her sleep beside the Christmas tree.
Penelope’s mom is awesome. Penelope’s mom has been wearing some new jeans that are lucky to have her.
Penelope’s Dad may or may not have a dozen pictures of Penelope’s mom in her new jeans.
Awesome.

Good thing Penelope’s mom never reads this here blog.
Jennifer Pelletier says:
That’s what I’m thinking, too. They’re too funny. Perfectly matched for each other. As long as she doesn’t read his blog. Bahaha!
kristie says:
So…the conversation at my house (from over each of my shoulders) as I scroll down through your pics and read the lovely captions…
Noah, age 5: Oh, my gosh! Why is there a kware (square) butt?
Mary Beth, age 8: (giggles, then sighs)–Oh, Noah–you’ll understand when you’re older!
I hope he doesn’t have photos, but Mary Beth has heard several remarks from her dad about her mom’s new jeans lately, too…amazing what a trip to Goodwill after 6 months of dieting can do! 😉
Shaun Groves says:
Ha!
Congrats on your new jeans! I’ve learned that new jeans are a luxury to a mom. I plan to invest heavily in that luxury from this day on ; )
Sara Ison says:
This cracked me up! Way to remind everyone that you love and cherish your wife = ) This is something my Husband would do if he had a blog 😉
Janet Oberholtzer says:
Guess someone is bored sitting around with a broken hand … 🙂
Shaun Groves says:
Bored? I must be bored to admire my wife?
Now that’s a sad statement about the state of Christian marriages right there ; )
Janet Oberholtzer says:
Good point Shaun … good point.
Then again, who said I was talking about admiring your wife, maybe I was talking about the Barbie story.
JessicaB says:
Ooooh, Shaun just Jesus Juked Janetttt.
Ruth says:
OM Gosh! Thanks for the laugh! That is something that (unfortunately) my husband has been up to up lately too. He just told me, “See I’m not the only husband who looks like his wife like that!”
Ruth says:
Ack! I meant at his wife!
Kelli says:
Your wife is a saint. You know that, right? 🙂
jess says:
i adore the PG version of the picture of your wife’s hinder (can you tell i mother small children? :)) ’cause no body else should be admiring what belongs to another man! (can i get an amen?) she’s thankful you like the new jeans as much as she does….so invest away!
and as a side note your Beloved has lovely eyes.
jen says:
Is Penelope’s mom making you sleep under the Christmas tree too for posting that last picture?
Nicole @ Here's The Diehl says:
i loved this post. new jeans are definitely worth investing in…in fact, i just found a pair a couple of weeks ago that i fell in love with, so i brought them home and told the hubby his christmas shopping is done 🙂 i’m very impatiently waiting for christmas…
Shaun Groves says:
Now you should get him a camera.
Nicole @ Here's The Diehl says:
haha! no thanks.
misty says:
So funny! Congrats to you on your wife’s new jeans!
Shaun Groves says:
Thank you.
Ron says:
Shaun … I have enjoyed your blog. It has really blessed me so many times. I’m sorry to realize that you’ll be dead soon. Hopefully she’ll make it as painless as possible. But I doubt it.
Shaun Groves says:
It was the Lortab blogging!
(You think she’ll buy it?)
Ron says:
Not a chance in you-know-where.
JD says:
Shaun, you have a way straight to my sense of haha…. thank you for the smiles — love the photos, all of them!
ann says:
I’m kind of embarrassed for the turkey on the counter there who didn’t get the same censorship.
karen says:
Hahaha
Karen says:
My husband of 25 years still admires my jeans and that makes me happy! 🙂
Katie says:
Penelope’s Dad will be in big trouble. He might lose his left hand too if someone tells Penelope’s Mom what he did. She might hide his Lortab.

Shaun Groves says:
Shhh
Jen Guarino says:
Nice lighthearted post. Thanks for the laugh. My husband loves me in my jeans as well. They are a great investment in our marriage.
Melody Joy King says:
Hahahahahahaha….this post made me laugh SO hard! Thank you for that! 🙂 PS~ I hope you live to blog another day after posting that pic! 😉
Jeanna Baker says:
oh shaun, that was wonderful!! its good to see you enjoying the lortab (and penelope’s mom)… i just gave away my new pair of jeans, a family here at fort campbell lost their house in a fire yesterday and since i hurt my knee i haven’t been able to trim that one last inch to get said jeans to fit right… given my hubby is in afghanistan and couldn’t reap the return on that investment, i decided to give them up, but you are oh so right, new jeans can be even better than a day at the spa for a mom! but, im wondering something, did the wife find out and break your other hand and that is why you posted the video blog today?? hahahahaha
Lindy Groves Jeter says:
Thanks Bubba! You made me laugh, yet your post also wanted to make me put my fingers in my ears and say, “lah, lah, lah, lah”….with my eyes closed! 😉
Shaun Groves says:
Yea, it IS hard to watch a Barbie get all her hair cut off like that. ; )
Lindsay says:
How did I miss this? I love it. 🙂
(And also, the fact that your grown adult sister still calls you “Bubba”? Oh, that makes my heart so happy! I still call my brother “Bubba,” and he is also gifted with an incredible sense of humor!)
