I hope you all had a good weekend

We did, we found a park close to our house.
I've missed being at the park over the winter.
A place where the kids can run wild and crazy and not rip the house apart.
Hello spring, I'm glad your here :)

Flowers



I thought these dried flowers were so pretty the color so vivid
So did the kids
we had a little fun


Note: they didn't taste as good as they looked

It was time

It's been 4 years, 6 months, 3 days, 2 hours and 49 minutes
it was time for a hair cut.
With the incentive of her hair looking like Rapunzel's we headed out to the salon.
She was very excited when we got there.
She took her seat.

We leafed through magazines for the perfect cut,
she wanted pink and purple highlights
I told her that would have to wait till next time.

Then it was her turn.
She jumped up into the seat
and smiled for the camera
I tied a small pick elastic around a small piece of her hair
a lump formed in my throat
my heart raced
I almost balled my eyes out,
but Ava loved it
she glowed


look at those locks
those are baby locks


Then we waited


When asked if she wanted bangs
she was all for it
so bangs it was


She LOVED them
look how beautiful she is
my big girl


She kept checking it out in the mirror
we waited for Ethan
who needs quiet while he has his hair cut
so we waited far away


What a handsome guy

I am so thankful for these three, they are why I'm here
sometimes I lose sight of that
but not today

taking strides to reach a dream
is what life is all about
