HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

My wonderful mom turns 60 today (she'll probably kill me for announcing it). Amazingly, she looks 50. She's had a great year and I am so happy for her!!

L Got Her Ears Pierced!

Yesterday, we went to Claire's at the mall to get L's ears pierced. She's been wanting this for awhile and I didn't really have any objections. Here she is smiling big before the piercing.
The lady marks her earlobes where the gun will go.
There are two staff members piercing her ears at the same time. One went in a little crooked so I had them redo it. There were a few tears.
Sucking on her lollipop to calm the pain. Once she looked in the mirror though, she was all SMILES! She loves her earrings and so do I.

Wow, I Stink at Blogging

You know what, May is a horrible month for blogging. L is finishing school, Jeff is finishing school, graduating another year of kids and the weather gets warmer so I'm not in the house as much. And my 10 days of sickness didn't help. But hopefully these next few posts will update you as to what we've been doing.

Ballerina Girl

She was wonderful in her recital last night. The best one out there!

Tanganyika Wildlife Park

I got a Groupon for Tanganyika Park so we decided to head out one Sunday in May. The park was really nice. Even though there were a ton of people, it wasn't crowded. L got to feed the lemurs.
She rode a camel.....
Fed some really hungry goats...
And fed nectar to some sweet birds.
She was so patient feeding them nectar.

Dinner with Henry

My grandpa's brother flew in from Arizona a couple weeks ago. He spent several days in Wichita with his son, Hank, and my grandparents came over for the day. We were invited to have dinner with Henry, Hank, Debbie, Nick and Randy. Dinner was wonderful! We got to visit for a couple hours and L had a great time entertaining everyone.

Last Day of School

She looks so happy now that kindergarten is over. She loved her first year of school and thought her teacher was the best!
