Sweet & Sassy!

Yep, that's Kenzie! It's also where I took her tonight for her second haircut!

We had a girls night out and it was SO much fun!!!!

This place is definitely worth the money in my opinion. When we walked in, Kenzie's eyes just almost popped out of her head from all of the bright colors! The stylists were very nice and friendly to her. She practically hopped up in the chair (just her size and sparkly pink!). When I called and made the appointment, they asked what movie I thought she'd like and I said Tinkerbell. So they had it playing while she got her hair trimmed. (That's what she's staring at so intently). I couldn't get over how she just hopped up in the chair and had no qualms about the cape OR the clips holding her hair up! Not that she was upset when she had her hair cut the first time, but she was nervous then and I had to hold her. Today she was Miss Professional! Like she has this done "all the time". It was hysterical!

Then, as if a spritz of sparkly and "cupcake scent" in her hair wasn't enough to thrill her, Beth painted a glittery purple star on her cheek and put a sparkly "Sweet & Sassy Star" on her hand! She just prissed around like she owned the place.

We will DEFINITELY be back! (Oh, and I forgot to mention she got a sucker from Beth for being so good and I bought her the bracelet she just HAD to have...

we have to accessorize, you know!)

(Here's a BEFORE....and AFTER pic for dramatic effect) Well, of course we had to go to the mall to show off her new look. So we had dinner at Chick Fil A, bought a couple of new outfits at the Disney Store, and went for a spin on the carousel. All of the sales associates ooh'd and aah'd appropriately. ;)

To finish out a great girls night, we shared a scoop of cookies and cream from Baskin Robbins. Minnie didn't want anything. Whew! Can't wait for next time!

Anyone want to join us?

Easter

Brian took some really great pictures! However, he wouldn't stand still long enough for me to take any of him! He did look pretty amazing though. He should wear a tie more often ;)

My parents "hopped" in for an Easter barbeque after church. We hid Kenzie's easter basket. Once she found it, she cleaned it out and started finding the eggs we hid around the living room. It rained pretty hard after we got home from lunch. I hope it didn't rain in Linden for the big family easter egg hunt! Don't worry, Grandma and Grandpa, we'll be there next year!

(Katie, that black and white picture at the top was edited just for you! Aren't you proud of me?)

Spring Break!

We had a very nice, relaxing Spring Break. Played outside, went to the zoo, shopping, and we even went over to the sprinkler park to play on their playground!!

She is SUCH a diva.

Barnyard Bash! (2 Years Old!!!)

Sorry it's taken me so long to get these posted. I'm off tomorrow so I'm attempting to play catch up! Since Kenzie does so well with all of her animal sounds and LOVES to go to the animal farm at the Zoo,we decided to throw her a BARNYARD BASH! Her cake was a barn and the cupcakes were sheep, pigs, and ducks, plus a sun! We practiced nearly every weekend in February to get the taste and the designs right. I think we did ok! I called Angie Panter and asked her to do animal cookies for the favors. (http://www.paintedcookie.blogspot.com/ better pics of the cookies on there!). The weather report showed rain so I was horrified at the thought of everyone being cooped up inside the garage or house, when there was a perfectly wonderful playground in our backyard! Thankfully, it rained for about 5 minutes about an hour before anyone showed up and was BEAUTIFUL for the entire party. The kids (and adults!) had a great time! Kenzie loved all the books, clothes, baby doll furniture, and toys!

Rylin was the life of the party ;)

Kenzie attempted to show Presley her new golf clubs, but she was more interested in Gigi.

Drew was the only boy at the party, but he had a great time! I think all the girls were a little overwhelming so he played inside most of the time.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for an awesome playground!!!!

Thanks Nana and Pop for all of your help with my birthday party!! Mommy couldn't have done it without you!!! (And thanks for taking lots of pictures, Pop!)
