Hair Cuts for J & R

Before....

After...

I did not cut N's hair tonight because last week she went to my beautician to have her hair cut. I learned my lesson on trying to cut curly hair. You need a licence and experience for that. LOL I did not think to take a picture or I would've posted about her cut. I will say it turned out so nice and she has her cute curls back the frizz is gone.

My 31st Birthday

Brian gave me these for my birthday...


Then he had this made to also go on the front porch...

It is made from Cedar and is Beautiful in person. The picture does it no justice. I could sit for hours on the porch now. It's so nice and the breeze the porch gets is wonderful.

He had this one made for the back yard...

This swing made from Maple. Is so comfortable. It's a wonderful place to sit and read while the girls play on their swing set.

The man who built both swings is 84 years old! He dose impeccable work! He is also super affordable. You wont find craftsmanship like this in any big city! He is country folk and sweet as pie. :)

Honey, I love my swings you did a great job on these birthday presents!!!!! I love you!!!!!

Oh, I love the rocking chairs too. For those who want to know they are Wal-Mart finds. :)

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday Pictures...
These were taken after church. We normally do these before church but Daddy had to meet us at church due to just getting off work. He arrived at Grandma J's house before us and changed clothes. He was dressed to the nines for church. :)

Children's Museum

Here are a few more pics from the Children's Museum we visited in SC....

This boy was huge. You could walk up the back of him and see what a human body looks like on the inside. There was a slide that started in his head, you slid through his stomach and came out his leg. I though is was kind of gross and the girls were terrified of him when we walked up the back side. I did manage to get two of them to stand with Aunt J for a pic but R would not go near him! LOL

Snow village...

Playhouse....

A real Fireman's pole! I can't tell you how many times they slid down that thing.

Sisterly Love

Lately J has been dealing with some "Scared At Night" issues. Last night she woke up about 1 am with a bad dream. Now, I'm sympathetic to her because I had awful nightmares as a child. So, I went to her a laid down with her for a few minutes. Once she was calm I left. A few minutes later she started crying again so I went to her and reassured her that all was safe. I told her to go back to sleep. Not 5 minutes later I heard talking in their room. This is what I heard...

J said, "R wake up! I need to tell you something!" "R wake up I need to tell you something!"
R said, "WHAT!!!!" J said, "I'm scared I need to sleep with you."

Silence....

After about 30 minutes my curiosity got the better of me so I went to see if they were sleeping together. When I got to their room they each were in their own beds.

This morning I asked them what happened. Did R remember J asking to sleep with her. This is what R told me.

"Mommy, J was scared so she just needed me to hold her hand till she fell asleep. So, I held her hand and when she was sleeping I let it go."

Now, is that just the sweetest thing! Some days those girls can fight like cats and dogs but when they love each other....they really love!

Update Post on Trip to SC

Back in January we took a trip to visit the Hubby's sister and family. It was the baby's first birthday. While on our visit we took a trip to visit the local Children's Museum. The girls had a blast. Enjoy the pic's of Baby R and the girls.
