New Hair!

Thursday I finally went and did something about my hair.  After having Kaylynn alot had fallen out and what was left was like dry hay.  So got hi-lights and chopped off! It feels so healthy now! It's a bit blonder than I wanted, but to late now!

Funny little story....I think the blonde seeped into my brain.  We tried a role reversal Friday night. I was going to go mow and he'd play with Kaylynn.  So he went out and did a few loops around the yard to get me started and at 5:50pm I went out.  After I slathered sunblock all over me since I am super white! I went up and down, up and down, up and down ohhhh, not sure how many times.  I thought am I nuts?? Shouldn't I be farther along??  Why does it feel like I'm not getting anywhere??  Shouldn't I have gone past that tree by now??   I thought I was losing it! About that time I get to the back of the yard and I went to back up and start back to the front, something made me look down.....I HAD NEVER TURNED THE MOWER DECK ON!!!!! LOL!!!  I started back up shaking my head thinking oh no! I hope none of the neighbors saw me! As I am coming closer to the house appears David and Kaylynn...David with quite a stunned look on his face..I stopped and told him to open the door.  He said why are you still there??  It's been a HALF HOUR IT'S 6:20pm!!!! I HAD GONE UP AND DOWN THE SAME PATH FOR A HALF HOUR!!!! No wonder I wasn't getting anywhere!! Oh we are still getting a good laugh outta this!! I am blonde!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Summertime!

Summer is definitely here! It's been getting hotter and more humid. We got Kaylynn a water activity table and a small pool to play in.  Here are some pics of her playing.

1st Father's Day

Today was David's official 1st Father's day.  Kaylynn got him this really cute card and I helped her sign it.  I made dinner today that included 4 of his Mom's recipes!  I think they turned out ok. The potato salad was a little off, but David said the calico beans were spot on! I love when I can make it taste like Mom's.  Makes me feel glad to know she is the one who taught me to cook, and I am still attempting new things.  And trying to keep Sunday dinners good and as close to her tastes as I can.  Although David is sick and spent half the night coughing, I think he had a good day.  We also went to visit my parents after Kaylynn's nap.  Back to the grind tomorrow, yuck.

 Kaylynn trying to hug or mawl Julian, not sure which.

 Julian says help!!

 Cousins. Kaylynn 11 months, Julian 4 months.

 Such a big boy!

Happy Father's Day David!  No little girl could ever ask for a better, more loving Daddy! 

11 Months Old!

So, this I had to share! This is what we've picked for her 1st birthday party theme! Minnie Mouse! I think it's so cute! I gotta go get some supplies with this on from Party City, which is all 50% off right now! Yeah!!  Soon gotta get the invites out!

***
Today though she is 11 months old! 1 short month and she'll be 1! She had a rough day today at the babysitter's.  She fell and got a bruise on her cheek and forehead.  She was very fussy and cranky, I think due to more teeth coming.  She was miserable all day.  She was pretty good for us though.  Ate almost a whole grilled cheese sandwhich for supper! She tries more and more to let go and walk on her own. I think she'll be walking by the time she's 1!

So Big!

 This was her hair when she woke up Sat. No matter what I tried, it would not stay down!

 Learning to climb steps!

 My little Farmer Slagenweit. :)

 Daddy put her to sleep at Nicholas' baseball game swinging.

Awwwwww!!!
