Sissors and Ducks..

After 4 1/2 years, I thought that it was about time that Lauren got her hair cut. Don't get to excited, we only got it trimed. Everytime I would tell her that she was going to get her hair cut, she would cry. She is fine with it as long as I say "trimed" and not "cut". And that really is all we got. I love her hair. It is so pretty, I think. It is soft and shiny, the kind of hair that people spend thousands trying to acheive. I didn't want to just walk into Fantastic Sams or Great Clips. I couldn't trust my baby girl's hair to just anyone, so I asked my freind Michelle if she would do it for me. And I am glad that she did. It is hard for me to get my own hair cut, let alone Lauren's. And Lauren's hair hasn't been touched by sissors her whole life. For years, she wasn't allowed to play with sissors because I was so nervous that she would take them to her hair. Anyway, I think Michelle did a good job. And it really doesn't look that much different then what she had before, which is just the way I wanted it. Thanks Michelle!! You made something that I was a little nervous about, turn out to be no big deal. (So sorry I was late).



See, it is not much different. I should actually say that she had her first hair trim today, and not her first hair cut. She is so funny. She has this light about her. She makes everything better.




After her hair cut, we went over to the Layton Park to feed the ducks and play in the play ground. It was such a nice day, I just didn't like the thought of going home and waisting all of the sunshine. So we picked up a hot dog and some bread at Maverik (I know you have to be jelous of our hot dog lunch-yummy) and drove right over to the park.




My little boy is so tender hearted. He loves animals. Everytime he sees a person he doesn't know enter the room, he runs away from them (Lauren runs to them, I am sure-thinking that there is a new friend for her). But as far as animals go, Lauren and Vin are also opposite in there reactions. Lauren screams and runs in the other direction, while Evan runs right for the animal. He loves all kinds. It was hard for me at the duck pond because Evan kept wanting to follow the ducks right into the water.

See! Evan is trying to get to the ducks, while Lauren has his shirt and is trying to pull him away. She is trying to protect her little brother. Evan kept feeding the ducks right out of his hand. For such an interoverted little guys, it was fun to see how he had no fear with the ducks.




We only stayed for a couple of hours because we had to pick up Chad from work, but it was a lot of fun. And just like everyday where we decided to go and do something that is out of our routine, Lauren is all glossy eyed on the couch watching The Tale of Despereaux while Vin is passed out in his room. It was a great day. On the radio I heard Weazer, The Killers, The Shins, Greenday, All American Regects-all the good stuff. It was like they were using my playlist off of my IPOD!! The sun was shining bightly, but it still wasn't all to hot. My kids wern't fighting at all. And Lauren didn't whine, not once. It has been one of those days where I look at my life and think that things just couldn't get any better then they are now.
