My new do!

Lauren is very much in to her hair, your hair, my hair or any hair for that matter. She loves to brush hair and pull it in to ponytails-ouch. She loves to watch me braid her Little Pony's tails and for daddy to blow dry her hair. So it came to no surprise she was excited when I told her we were going to Goldilocks children's salon to have her hair cut. If you have not been, you must take your children for their next trim. It has a great atmosphere. Lauren sat in a pink Barbie car while a very sweet lady cut her hair...they also have a yellow Hummer for the boys. There are T.V.'s at each station and the owner put in Charlotte's Web for Lauren to watch. She was an Princess and sat still the whole time. I questioned how much this hair cut was going to cost me but it wasn't bad - $14.95. Plus, Lauren had such a great time. When she gets older we'll take advantage of their manicure and pedicure room.

Keeping up with the Easter Bunny!

Lauren and her parents arrived at grandma & grandpa's Easter day for an evening meal of ham, baked beans, potato casserole and homemade vanilla ice cream with strawberries. Of course Chad & Pete had to play a few hands of tack and Chad came out the winner, deafeating Pete at his own house! Before she got there, grandma hid 20 eggs with money in all of them. Lauren had a great time looking for all the eggs. Some eggs were a little trickey to locate, but with a little help she managed to find them. Of course Grace was running around thinking we were all out there wanting to play. After gathering all her easter eggs, she brought them inside and began to open them, since they all had money inside and were hard to open, she needed her grandpa's help. After opening all the eggs, it was time to fill up the piggy bank and boy did she enjoy doing that. Her Easter basket from Granny B and Grandpa RB had a card with money and some candy, which she didn't need any more candy to eat. From her grandparents she got a Peter Cottontail book, more money, a bunny that says a prayer and a Dora kite, which we couldn't fly since it was tooooo cold. Our family had a wonderful Easter together. Pete & I are very thankful and blessed for having such a wonderful family and also for having parents that are 83 & 86 and still living on their own and enjoying life.
