first hair cut

Mary's bangs were driving me nuts. SO, I decided it was time for an Easter trim. I had Kevin hold her head while I did the trimming. Here it goes..............

Mom it's not really straight. ................OH WELL! There is a reason I'm not a beautician. They will grown back. But at least they are not in her eyes anymore.

Hop Hop Hop

We went and saw the Easter Bunny. I thought that since a bunny isn't as scary looking as Santa that she might take a picture on her own. NOT! SO, here I am again with Mary. At least we got a smile this time. Hopefully she'll be ready to sit on her own by Christmas this year. She'll be almost 2 1/2 by then. WOW, did I just write that, 2 1/2???? WOW how time flies.

So Cool

Mary in her new sunglasses. She's so super cool with the sticker still on them and the yellow string hanging from them. They are so cute though. They wrap around her head to stay on. She needed some for Mexico to wear in the buggy to keep the sand out of her eyes, and stay on her head. The yellow 'string' is a gambling bungee. It is what you hook one end onto your players club card and hook the other end onto yourself. This way you don't leave your card in a machine. So, it works perfect to hold Mary's glasses onto her. ha ha Now she's ready for some fun dune buggy and jeep riding. Two weeks from today we'll be there!!

Good 'Ol Friends

Every couple months the four of us get together. We are friends from high school. Brian (glasses), Suzanne (green), and Steve (black), and I all went to school high school together. Some of us went through confirmation together. All of us swam on the high school swim team. We have had lots of fun times together. Now we're all grown up. Suzanne got married first. I was next three months later. Steve just got engaged. Brian, well, he's hopeless, but we still love him. I had a baby first and now Suzanne is due with her baby in April. We are all getting old. I was the first to turn 30 and Suzanne is next. How time flies. I swear it was just yesterday we were all on the bus on our way to a swim meet acting like teenagers. But life goes on. I'm just happy we've all stayed friends after graduating and some going to college and moving across country. But we all end up together at some point in time.

Water Play

Days are longer and warmer!! We decided to play in the water. I turned on the hose and let her play. It was funny to watch her. We have to get this white baby body some color. I know she can tan like her mommy. We will get plenty of it when we go to Mexico in two weeks. I can't wait to watch her play in the water there.

Where's my money???

We finally were able to go drinking/gambling with my parents since Mary was born. Our friend Traci was able to take Mary for three nights. So, we dropped Mary off early Thursday morning and were off for some fun. We did have a super fun time. There's a lot of walking you have to do in Laughlin, and we did A LOT of it. I think I spread my money out evenly between all the casinos. But it was all worth it. Now back to reality at home.

getting away

OK, so Kevin and I are silly. Last night we celebrated our anniversary, from Tuesday. We traveled a whole 5 miles and stayed at and Embassy Suites. This hotel is right across the street from where Kevin works. He watched them build this hotel and now we stayed at it. Mary got to spend the night 5 miles the other way at Grandpa and Grandma's. It was a fun night. They have cocktail hour from 5:30-7:00 for FREE! Well, can I say I drank too much??? YES. Well, it was free. Why waste anything free. So, needless to say, I don't remember much after cocktail hour was over. I would guess I had a good time. I did not sleep well, so I'm really tired today. But it was great to get away for a night. Even if it was 5 miles from home.
