I Want to be a Home-Maker When I Grow Up

This would be Norma.  I am writing this down for journal-ing purposes.  I want to remember that she wants to be a home-maker. 

When she first told this to me months ago, I said, "So you want to clean your house and make food and craft?" 

"No.  I want to make a home.  You know, with walls and a roof."

Today she told me she wants to make a house with a roof that you won't fall off of.  Love my Norma Sue.

First Hair Cut

Not for the boys.  It is the first one I have ever given them.  I can not believe how long their hair had gotten.  It was insane!  So, thanks to Pinterest, I found a site that walks you through how to cut boys hair.  I took on the challenge. 

After seeing them again this morning, I'd say it was a fail but I can see what I can do to fix it up a bit and if not, well, I have some friends that can come help me fix it more. :0)

Happy Birthday Kathryn!

We love you so much and are so happy that you are part of our family.  We hope that your day was wonderful!  Thank you for all that you do and always being there.

Crazy Hair Day

Tucker had crazy hair day and I thought since his hair is so long I could get away with doing this.

He let me do it, commented on why Norma screams the whole time I do her hair and then didn't want to have his picture taken.  To bad.

Present from Grandpa and Nana

Grandpa and Nana brought over Katy's present the day before her birthday during her nap so I wanted to make sure that they could see her opening it.

She was so excited!  She loved that it came with a brush, puppy and a baby doll.

Puppy!  Woof, woof!

I asked her to show me. 

She just wanted to brush the dolls hair.  Forget that she had other presents to open.  She loved having her own babie doll.  Thanks Grandpa and Nana!  This was perfect!

More Presents

Because I wanted to post so many pictures of her opening the gift from Grandpa and Nana, I decided to just do a separate post for the gifts we gave her.  I may have gotten a little carried away with getting things for her but when you find Dora stuff at the $1 section...

Love that she took it right to Thad to read to her.

We couldn't get this Dora doll out of the package fast enough for her.  She was jumping up and down waiting for it and when she finally got her hands on it she couldn't quit hugging it.

That is came with a brush was even better!

We have one special 2 year old on our hands.  She has started talking so much in just the last week.  It is fun that we can understand her too.  She is growing up fast.  She is smart and sweet.  She knows what she wants and how to get it.  She makes our family complete.  Happy Birthday Katy-Bug!

Happy Birthday Katy!

If all the Dora things that Katy got yesterday were not enough, she got spoiled at Nana and Papa's.  Check out this Dora cake that Nana made for her.

"DORA!"

"Happy Birthday to Katy!"  Make a wish and don't touch the candles.  She blew the first one out no problem but the second one gave her a tough time.

Eating it is way better.

Kathryn knew just what to get too.  Dora!  Coloring book and a story book all about Dora's Birthday!  Perfect!

Giving her baby Dora a hug!  Thanks Nana and Papa!  Now she has a new baby to sleep with.  That will sing to her all night long. :0)

Angela was so happy that Katy finally went to her.  But when you need help with your new Dora, you need help. :0)
