Paige's Summer hair!

I wanted to share Paige's new Summer hair with all of you! She wanted to wait until after Pioneer Day at school to get her hair cut..that way she could wear braids and look like Laura Ingles (her idol). So on Thursday after school I took her up to get her hair cut. She said "I don't want to get a bob like Megan's because it won't be as cute on me". I told her you don't have to get a bob if you want your hair long we will just get it trimmed. But when she got there she was looking at the idea books and showed the gal what she liked. Paige also said "but I want it long enough to put in a pony tail if I want". So the gal cut it and it is long enough for a pony tail but Paige has not asked me to put it up in a pony tail yet. She has worn some hair clips and headbands but no pony tails yet. I love it and I know she does too. She said "now I look like Reilly." (one of her good friends). She is very proud of the fact that she can brush it and do her own part even. Of course in these photos her hair is blown out straight , we have just been letting it air dry and she has a lot of bounce and wave in her hair. That is not a bad thing ether! I just wish my hair was as cute as hers.

Paige and Megan saying good night and good bye to Mimi and Pop-pop.

A little Megan story : On this particular day Megan slept in really late I think it was 10:30 or 11 a.m. before she got up and that was when I went in to check on her and I kinda woke her up snuggling with her in her bed. We were starting to get worried about her because she is our early bird riser. If she sleeps until after 8 a.m. that is late for her. So I go up and snuggle in her cozy bed and the first thing she says is " Is this the last day Pop-pop and Mimi are going to be here?" and I said "yes" and then she says "then I am going to be sad all day!". I told her to be happy that she gets to visit with her Pop-pop and Mimi one more day and to enjoy their time together and that is what she did. I am very proud of my girls they are so loving and they enjoy their family and that makes me proud.

All cleaned up after an afternoon of sun and swimming. My dad treated us all to a dinner of bison burgers at Ted's Montanna Grill and then ice cream at Graeter's.

What to do with your ballerina the morning before the big show...have her play a few rounds of "Blokus" with her Pop-pop and Mimi. A popsicle doesn't hurt either! Just whatever you do don't mess up your hair!

Megan is ready for summer!



Megan's all ready for summer. On Saturday May 26 she got her hair bobbed while Paige was getting her hair put in French braids for the dance recital. I love Megan's hair like this...so cute and fun just like her!

It's Paige, Megan and Mr. Pumba!




Here are some more photos from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

While Pop-pop and Mimi were here they went to Megan's tap class to see her and her friends play some dance games and watch them do their "Let's Go To The Movie's" dance from the recital. In this picture below they were dancing to a song and had to balance their pompom's on different parts of their bodies. I think Dad and Carole enjoyed seeing Megan dance, it is hard not to smile when you see this little ball of energy having so much fun. Miss. Erin and Megan pose for a photo after class.

Playing cards with Pop-pop on the back patio. Their favorite game to play was "Who Knew?" a game by Cranium. Each player gets 4 cards with words (nouns) like baseball, big dogs, star gazing etc. and you have a person that is it. The other players have to pick a card out of their hand to place in the envelope. The person that is it decides what they like best and gives out points. It is a fun game and we laughed a lot and learned a lot too. Who Knew that my dad prefers drive-thrus over sunsets and boots???? Hmmmm?????

Enjoying a nice dinner out with Dad and Carolee at Jason's in Dublin (Ohio not Ireland).

Mimi, Paige, Pop-pop and Megan all dressed up to go out to dinner.

Rebel's new best buddy is my dad. Dad got a kick out of him because when he was watching t.v. Rebel would come sit next to him and put his head under his hand so my dad would lay his hand on his back. Rowdy got lots of extra care from dad too.

Mimi, Paige and Pop-pop.
On Wed. May 23 we went up to Paige's school and surprised her with a visit at lunch time. After Paige had lunch she gave Mimi and Pop-pop a tour of her school so they could see all of the art work.
