I'm Not Scared

These are some old pictures but I thought I would post them anyway. These are from our trip to Conway a while back and Parker just had to swim in the freezing cold water! She was not scared of anything though.

Haircut Pictures

I finally have the pictures from Parker's first haircut on my computer so I thought I would share those with all. It is hard to tell what the end result is but trust me, it is cute!


Later that night eating with all of the family. Such a cute do.

Mother's Day

Sunday, like most mothers, I celebrated Mother's Day with my beautiful daughter and lovely husband. Jeff and Parker let me sleep in for a while, which is something I NEVER do, next I woke up to a large cup of Starbucks, a trashy magazine and a cute little Elmo card. Jeff and Parker took a trip to get me some of my favorites for my relaxing day. It was nice to get a small break for just a few hours. Jeff then treated me to some IHOP breakfast which was nice. It makes me wish that Mother's Day was every day. He and Parker did get me a new Chi straightener but it just arrived in the mail today. I was excited like a child would be with a new toy. I think I deserve it though!

Mother's Day does make me think that my family appreciates all that I do and hopefully I can continue taking care of them for the rest of my life. Thank you Jeff and Parker and I love you both!

First Haircut

Friday, I had an appointment to get my hair cut so that started a haircut phenomenon in our household. Jeff decided he needed a haircut and then I wanted to finally cut Parker's pretty little curls. We kept talking it up and trying to get her excited and all she talked about was Parker get haircut. Good thing dad was getting one too or it would have been ugly! Parker was able to watch her daddy the entire time and she loved that. She did so great and just sat there talking about her haircut. I did take some pictures but just haven't put them on the computer yet. Maybe I can get a shot of all three of our new haircuts!
