Spring has brought me such a nice surprise....

I know don't have a heart attack 2 post in a week, obviously I must be ill? Or just unable to sleep who knows? Just figured I would share the pictures that I took on sunday. After church the kids and I were outside with Paisley and we have a really cool tree that has lost all of it's petals on the ground and I am always looking at things as a picture. I think in my next life I aspire to be an artist because in my mind I try to see things in a frame? So I noticed the petals on the grass and it reminded me of an aisle for a bride to walk down. So I did the next best thing and I told Laken to sit down and I grabbed my camera and started to take a few pictures. Then after taking a few pictures of both kids Mason and I played around with a photoshop program cropping the pictures and turning them into black and whites, etc. and just having fun with the photos.

Kindergarten Check-Up! :(

I can not believe my baby is old enough to be starting Kindergarten soon!!! This week we had to go to the Doctor for her check-up first I have to say Laken cracks me up! I got her dressed and ready to go and decided to put a headband in her hair and she looks in the mirror and say's "I look just like a Barbie" Wow the self-esteem this child has ha ha! So of course that meant she had to carry a purse the whole bit to go along with "looking like a Barbie" So we went to the Dr. office and the Nurse Marci who has been both of my kids nurse since the day they were born comes out and right off the bat say's how she can not believe Laken is already this old and that she still remembers when Mason was only 2 weeks old. I'm thinking in my head stop I already had my cry over my baby is growing up way too fast!!!!

Being Weighed

Finding out that she is over 41 inches isn't that big enough for the big rollercoasters? :)

Then while she was getting her Bloodpressure done they made her sit at the nurses station to do it. Everyone kept commenting on her pretty toenails or how cute she was and she looks up at me and infront of everyone say's "Mom why does everyone keep saying I am so cute?" then she answers her owns question and say's "Oh I bet it is because I look like a Barbie!" All the nurses just started to giggle. That is my overly confident child, Ha Ha! Laken's checkup went ok except for due to some concerns they did a hearing test and she failed it and got the same results twice so of course now it is on to more Doctors, next stop is an Audiologist, I have a feeling somehow between myself and my kids we will probably experience seeing every type of specialist there is? So stay tuned and hopefully by the end of the month we will know more of what we will have to do about her hearing loss? In the meantime we will just pretend we are all Barbie's that live in a perfect Barbie world :)

"Ruff" Life!

Ok yes I realize I am horrible at this blog thing now! We are slowly getting back to real world life. I started back to work this week and things are going well. Work missed me and is grateful for my return which is a good feeling to have especially in this economy! These are the some of the latest pics of the spoiled brat dog who is not so happy about the adjusting to real world life she misses us.

Laken and Paisley spent a day running earrands with me and it wore them both out! All of a sudden the singing from the back seat stopped and this is what I saw. It cracked me up so I had to take a picture.

The tiny puppy got lost one day and this is where I found her curled up between some pillows passed out. Rough life huh? We are working hard on getting her trained she is doing pretty well unless she gets in her little Diva Fiesty moods and decides to be stubborn about coming to you.

This picture makes me laugh because she was cocking her head back and forth when we were talking to her she reminds me so much of my old favorite dog Meggy which makes me way happy! I am so proud of Mason, he has really stepped up to the plate and is helping to train her and take care of her. For some reason Paisely gets hyper and wants to play and brings Mason out of his shell a bit more but, then calms down and just goes and curls up in Laken's lap and keeps Laken calm? Heck if I would have known that this little puppy would have mellowed and calmed my little firecracker daughter out I would have got her 4 years ago!!!!
