First Haircut

Before....her hair had gotten so long! Just a little too stringy for me!

So, just about an inch or so off please! She still wants it long!

why so solemn?

After with Mrs. Kim!

Our hairstylist is selling these cute little bead hair accessories....love them in C's hair!

After...still long, just a little more even & not so stringy! Her hair is soooo fine!

She did great during her haircut. She had originally told me she didn't want her hair cut or her ears pierced until she was four. Well, we got the first haircut before (that was a surprise! I was going and she said..." I think I'm ready for a haircut! Yeah! ) Now, we'll see what happens with the ear piercing! We were at the mall in Dallas yesterday & I told her they had places with ear piercing there...ummmmm, NOPE!

PlayDoh Feet Molds :)

Yep, we still love Play-Doh around here. Caleigh pulled it out of the cabinet the other day & decided to make foot molds. Oh, this girl...the things she thinks of! I really think this was taken the morning of July 4th. I remember putting those bows in her hair! I really have been bad about taking photos this summer. I am going to regret it I'm sure. I just have not had the initiative to pick up my camera much...I tend to go through these dry spells from time to time. I have, however, gotten my house in order this summer. I have shifted things around some, cleaned out many a cabinet, created a new work area for the kids' school time, ordered & framed some pictures I've been meaning to do for a year, etc.! So, maybe I have been a little industrious, just not in the photo department!!! We decided to head to Florida again in August. Maybe the beach will inspire me!!!

How Much is Too Much?

.....swimming gear that is!!! Evidently, this is just the right amount for Caleigh....

More Fun Pool Pics!

We hung out at my sister-in-law's again last Thursday afternoon...when it was 103!!! Seriously, unless you're in the water, you are frying around here! I wish I could get off the fence about a pool....some days I REALLY want one, other days I really DON'T! Well, this summer, it's a no. I'm still thinking C is too young & I would worry myself sick. Maybe next year...or the next...or the next...or never....hmmmmmmm.

3 Little Ninjas...

Blake!

My 3 Little Ninjas

Blake!

Bryce

Caleigh is counting the days 'til she turns 4 so she can start Tae Kwon Do. She loves it when the boys hold "Pretend Classes" for her! Here are the kids right before TKD Class the other day. Blake & Bryce were showing me some of their moves for the camera! These boys rarely "pose" anymore, so I was a very happy mom! TKD classes are still 3 days a week & Piano once a week. In between, we've been swimming, going to the movies, Chuck E Cheese, Discovery Science Place & anywhere else we can find that's cool! Some of my friends have named the summer of 2011: Mercury Summer. It fits.

Happy Day! Celebrating 3 years as our daughter!

Playing with the train set her Grandmama & Grampie brought her.....

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day Caleigh Grace!

We celebrated by taking her to her very first movie in a theatre today.We saw Kung Fu Panda 2. It was an action packed movie!

I think she knows she's cute. ;)

Every Day Should Be A Pool Day.

Whoops! Forgot she still had her shoes on!

Caleigh & Blake

Ready, Set, Go!

Yelling at the boys...she's not always an angel! LOL!

A Wordless Summer Wednesday

Maybe just 5 words: Thank God for the RAIN!!!

Meet Snappy.

Meet our new pet, Snappy! He's pretty cute. He just stresses me out because he won't come out of the water & bask! Now, I realize, he is an aquatic turtle...just something else for me to worry about! He is fun to watch! He's a side-necked turtle. Guess we have a new class pet. Our fish is now almost 2 years old! Yes! I have kept something aquatic alive for 2 years. Go Me!

Happy Father's Day!

Making Daddy Breakfast Muffins....

Pics before church.....

Happy Father's Day!

Tea with the Neighbors!

Our house & the neighbor's house. Evidently, it's trash day since the trash truck came. Ha! This is for you Ms. Becca! You are the one with black hair (even tho you're not really Asian LOL!) and I'm the one with orange curly hair & glasses...yikes! Caleigh chose our character people ;)

Looking in on the party!

There are lots of toys that get donated or given away from time to time. There are some I will keep forever. Little People falls in this category. She may not touch them for months, but eventually, they make an appearance again, and it's always a fun time! The creativity they bring out is endless. Do your kids have a toy/toys like that? For our boys, it was trains for a long, long, time. Now, I'd have to say it's Lego's. Although they haven't touched them in a while now, there are still 4 full bins of them in their rooms. They'll stay. I just cannot imagine getting rid of them. Someday they will be the toys living at the top of the closet waiting for grandkids! It was 105 this afternoon on my thermometer. A friend texted me that her car said 108 later in the day. Either way, it was a great afternoon for Little People!

Oh, For the love of tape.....and basketball!

Someone got into the tape without me knowing yesterday....a cute little someone who decided to tape her "Buzz Lightyear Laser" made of big Legos together so it would quit falling apart. Success. Pride. The same little someone was very pleased when her boys came home from their last day of basketball camp & gave her a new bball. Joy! Happy!

Obviously, I am an epic fail at daily blogging this summer. Honestly, I just haven't gotten my camera out as much as usual. Also, I started selling things here & there on EBay again, so my "free time" is going to that. Hope all my 365 buddies are having a great summer! Maybe you'll come back in the Fall too!!! :)

Little Miss Independent

Now, she still wants me to rock her to sleep, but honestly, that's about the only thing she really wants me to do for her much anymore. She's all about being independent & helping & doing things herself. The boys....well, that's another post! They would probably let me serve them forever! LOL! Caleigh has pink eye & the boys have taken turn with a fever/sore throat bug this week. So.....not much going on except for lots of ice cream & popsicles! The boys did make it to their Tae Kwon Do Belt ceremony last night. Most of the pics I got there were messed up due to lighting in the studio, but I may try to post some tomorrow.....Hope you're having a nice summer break! Basketball Camp starts Monday for the boys. Maybe it will start to feel like a summer break then!

Joy.

This was a joyous day!!!
Just had to post the pics!

Wordless Wednesday....They're Up To Something.

These 2 are up to something I think!
