The rebel at church

 - by Brittany

Kevin really wanted to leave Jameson’s hair for church. I told him, “Fine, but you have to answer to the bishop.” We had to rush to get ready, since our kids actually slept in a little bit. I told Kevin we needed to take pictures before church, before anything got their outfits dirty at church. This is the best we got.

(I bought him new nice church shoes only to find out they don’t fit his feet. So we had to revert back to his converse adding to his whole presentation.)

So we walked into church at the end of the opening song and sat down. Immediately you could hear the chuckles behind us. Jameson was actually pretty reverent, and Ella slept most of the time, so we had a good Sacrament meeting. After, we had everyone coming up to us laughing, and questioning regarding Jameson’s hair. Some had bets on whose idea it was, and I heard an “I told you so” when I said Kevin did it. Everyone thought he was awesome, and some kids told their parents to do their hair like that.

Kevin took Jameson to nursery. (Kevin also just got called as a nursery leader.) I went to feed Ella. After she was fed, I did a lap around the church as I was burping her. It was also very warm in the chapel, so gospel doctrine was not sounding so appealing. As we were walking, I ran into the bishop. Our conversation went something like this…

Bishop- “I have to tell you, I was starting to get tired, because the chapel was so warm. I looked down and could see some spikes and was wondering what it was. Then Jameson’s head popped up from behind the pew. I started laughing!”

Me- “I told Kevin he’d have to answer to you about it.”

B- “No, that’s awesome.”

So the Bishop was ok with it. I told him it would be cut for next week. I also had the Relief Society president question our intentions, while laughing. She said we made everyone’s day at church. I just hope this doesn’t come back to bite us when he is a teenager.
