A Hair Story of Drama

 So sad about how her hair looked at the end of the day when I took our her pigtail braids.  Seriously sad.  "My Hair looks so crazy!"

 I suggested brushing it, which made it puffier and frizzier, she did not like it any better.  (She was bawling her eyes out, staring in the mirror)

 She decided to go and get a headband on, because "that would make her pretty"

All better. end scene.

Easter

 dying Easter eggs and eating Easter treats.

 wasn't so sure what the fuss was about, until she figured out the candy inside.

 (I don't know why I look like I have been tanning...especially on my face)

Happy Easter!

Ryan's 7th

 Happy Birthday Ryan!  He lost his front tooth a couple days before his birthday so I think he really has that signature seven year old look down now.  I brought him Pizza for lunch and cupcakes for his class.

 We are doing friend parties every other year so we went to Red Robin for dinner at his request, opened presents, and had cake.  I love that Ryan still thought it was so much fun and loved his day.

 He was super excited about all of his presents this year.  Especially the star wars stuff.

 In case you are wondering about the cake... the half blue and half red are for the "good and evil" colors from Star wars.  Red is the color of the light saber for Darth Mal and Blue is for Luke...(although I think he is a little mixed up.  Aren't Luke and Darth Mal not in the same movies?)  Don't mind the botched up icing :)

Happy Birthday Ryan.  You are a great example to us.  I am sorry you are the ginny pig kid that we get to figure this parenting stuff out on, but I think you put up with us pretty well.

It snowed

This is April 3rd people.  In Albuquerque.  I was afraid for my precious fruit trees and tulips that had just blossomed, but luckily, it was barely cold enough to snow and was all gone by the afternoon and in the 50's.
