Happy Birthday Mommy!

Yesterday was my 31st birthday, I am now officially "in my 30's". It's funny how my perception of what is "old" has changed as I have gotten older :) Patrick was so excited about eating some cake, which is evident in this picture. And Lucy, well, she was content to sit there and pick her nose.

Spring days

We have really enjoyed being outside the past few days, it's been so nice to be able to spend our evenings after supper playing in the dirt, riding the 4 wheeler , or taking a walk. Sad to see the cold front move in tonight, but realizing that spring will be here soon enough!

Playing in the dirt

The kids will be sad when this is a flower bed in a couple of months -- guess we'll have to convince Daddy to build a sandbox :)

First haircut--bangs!!

Since Lucy has been fighting the barrettes and rubber bands, we decided it was time to trim her hair. You know, so she looks like she actually belongs to someone :) She did well initially, but once they started spritzing her hair, she changed her mind. Mommy held her for the few minutes it took, the reward was a chocolate chip cookie. She looks so sweet, but sadly a little more like a little girl and a little less like a baby.
