A new me...

This is the new me. We arranged for our Mom's Group at Head Start to get "mommy makeovers" at Lafayette Beauty Academy the Saturday on Mother's Day weekend. Our mom's were allowed to choose two or three services for a discounted price of 7.00. We were very fortunate to have a donation come through and were able to cover the price of around 16 mommy makeovers. I had planned on getting a hair cut and then Vicki said, " Jenn, you need to do something drastic." So I did. I've worn the same hair do for probably 8 years. It was my "mommy do." I got out of bed, washed my hair, blew it dry and put it in a pony tail. I didn't have much time or energy to mess with it. And it's always been curly. So, Mia, the girl who cut my hair encouraged me to go shoulder length, add some long bangs, and flat iron it. I absolutely LOVE it! I feel like a new woman.... and I even get up extra early to fix it. At first I was nervous about the change, but after all of the compliments I get, I realize that this change was good... and needed. And guess what... I can wash it, add some gel, pull it back and it looks cute... curly, but cute!

Frick and Frack....

These two goof balls tried to get crackers out of the container and the same time and much to their surprise, they got their hands stuck. It was kind of funny.....

Tee Ball...

Ah, what can I say about T-ball. It is one of the funniest things to watch. Those little kids have no idea what's going on. Opening day was so cold... Aubrey cried most of the time and Cain would chase the runner from 1st base to 2nd (even though he didn't have a ball!) It was so cute and between me, grandma Sheila and Mi-Mi Barb... we captured the first game pictures quite well.

Spring Dance...

Jake escorted his girlfriend, Kaitlyn to the Spring Dance. He looked very handsome and she is a knock-out! I can't believe my oldest is already "dating". I think they have been together for a couple of months now.

Memories...

I love this picture. Matter of fact I'm going to do something unique with this picture... I'm just not sure what. The kids were walking back to the car after playing at the park and I just started snapping pictures. It made me think of memories. One day they'll look back at this picture and remember the sun on their face and the fun that they had playing with each other.

Playing around...

After T ball practice the other day, we walked over to the playground for a little relaxation. The kids wanted Derrick to teeter totter with them and this is how it looked:
