Birthday Girl Turns 3!

I am such a slacker with blogging! I've missed so much, but be sure to check out all the new posts :)

My little girl turned three this month!!

A few of her favorite things:

• Tea parties (complete with teddy bears in hats and legos as teacups)
• Dinosaurs
  
• Playing with Michael (that is, when he cooperates and leaves her alone)
• Playing with every little boy in the neighborhood
  
• Imaginary friends (a dinosaur named Carl, a whale named Alice, and Nemo & Dorie)
• Cars
• Books (she loves Fancy Nancy!)
• Bows
• Dresses (especially the Sunday type)
  
• Bouldering (it's her favorite thing to do)
• Holding hands
• Giving kisses
• Being sweet to everyone she meets
• Bugs, worms, and spiders (yep, she loves those, too -- not inherited from me)
• Dolls
• Swings at the park
• Animals of all kinds
• Coloring (in the lines)
• Drawing
  
• Singing (she has an incredible voice and has near perfect pitch!)
  
• Dancing in the living room to Sesame Street songs
  

All these aspects put together make up the most wonderful little girl ever :) I am so grateful to have one amazing daughter!

Fuzzball or Haircuts Gone Wild

We finally did it. We cut his hair. ... Just a little too short.

Before:



After:

It's a little short, and I'm not afraid to admit that I almost cried when Rand was done. It's growing on me, but he looks so much older! And, his hair is growing back in dark! (you can't tell though from these pictures)

In other news, I've dyed my hair. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but it's fading and not so dramatic as when I came back from the salon (beauty college, who am I kidding? And really, who can complain when haircuts are $4?!).
