I got my braidlocks on Memorial Day weekend this year. It took my mom three LONG days to do it. I was so glad when she finished. I love my braids.
Here are a few more shots of my braids.
My braids came just in time because we were going on vacation this summer to visit our family and that meant my mom would not have to do my hair while we were gone. We usually go to Orlando when we go on vacation but this year my dad's family was having a family reunion so we didn't go. Sorry Mickey!
Here I am on a stop in South Carolina visiting some friends we knew in Japan.
Here are a couple of my brother and me getting along for a change.
Here I am in Albany, GA with just a "few" of my cousins that I met at the reunion this was just the first night's meet and greet and my daddy has a REALLY BIG family.
Here I am with my baby cousin Jarren at the fish fry.
Here's one of my mom at the fish fry, I'm trying to find one of my dad but he is usually the one snapping all the pictures.
Family Banquet Night
Here's one with my Mom & G-Mommie and my cousin Kim who looks a lot like I did when I was little, copycat!
Devin, Gran Gran, and me.
Found one with my Mom and my Daddy!
The last day of the reunion was also my birthday. I got together with some of my cousins at my auntie Judith's house. We had a really good time. We made ice cream sundaes and I had a cookie cake. It was SO good!
Even got a chance to get my hair wet when Gran-Gran let us big kids get in the kiddie pool and cool off from the GA heat.
Here I am chillin' at Gran-Grans before we leave to go back to Atlanta
Here I am back in Atlanta with my friend Natori. I like hanging out with her whenever I am visiting at my G-Mommie's house.
It's been a busy and fun vacation but it is now August and I am back home waiting for school to start and my hair has grown out so much. My mom is going to tighten up my braids so I can be ready for school. She is going to do a section at a time each night until she gets the hang of it.
Here is a before shot.
We are half way done now. Day 1
All done for at least 6 weeks at least, can you tell that I am happy!
Day 3
This is one of my favorite hairstyles. It's my favorite because I can do it myself and I love to pull my hair back off of my face.
Until next time,

Oh you are so precious young Brat. Your mom did a wonderful job with your braidlocks. As they mature, they are going to be simply marvelous.
You are so cute and you remind me of my daughter. In fact, she has a shirt with that little monkey on it too.
Your hair is adorable and it will grow right along with you.
Lovely! Your Mum has done a great job with you hair and so have you with the styling.

How long since you were in Japan? My cousin and her family are on Yakota.
Hi Loc'ed Brat, you are as cute as pie, and I am not just saying that because I am your G-Mom
Thanks G-Mom!
Awwww, who's so cute? Looking good, girl.
Cute family, cute locks and I especially love the pic of you and your brother getting along.
