Beauty Parlor & Enchiladas

The kids had a fun day yesterday. They kept themselves busy in various ways. First up was playing "Beauty Parlor" on Mommy...

Savannah played with her real-life baby doll...

Connor found himself a new cushion to lay on...

Savannah & Connor got to help Grandma make enchiladas. That was a real treat because I don't have nearly as much patience in the kitchen. They LOVED it!

In the evening my Uncle Craig & Aunt Nadra came to visit for a little while. They were down from Dallas for a wedding reception in Round Rock. It was nice to see them and have them meet Landon.

Connor and I have both been sick for a few days with a cold & sore throat. Last night I also got a migraine on top of that. My mom was so sweet. She stole the baby monitor (without us knowing) and got up with Landon for the entire night. I woke up at 6:30am and my head felt so much better...after 10 hours of sleep!!! What a luxury for a new mom. Thank you SO SO SO muich Mom! We have been so blessed to have her help the last couple of weeks. I would be one stressed-out girl I think.

And here is our first-ever picture as a family of 7.

Lauree's Daily Thoughts

8/28/13 Connor has worn the same size underwear for the last 3 1/2 years. He finally moved up to the next size this week. It's still a little loose, but it's progress.
8/22/13 The kids met their teachers tonight! They all seem happy with their teachers and we hope it will be a great year!
8/21/13 I took the kids to Texas Jumping Beans this morning and we met up with a bunch of friends. The kids had a GREAT time and their socks were so nasty that I ended up throwing them all away after attempting to wash them.
8/19/13 I took Landon for his 3-year-old check-up and he screamed his head off when they tried to weigh and measure him. He was totally fine when the doctor came in and checked him all out, but for some reason he is terrified of the scale. Then I took Jacob to pick up his schedule and books for 7th grade. He's happy to have a technology class this year, and choir again.
8/17/13 Jacob got to go on a youth temple trip again and had a great time. I'm so thankful he has good kids to hang out with, doing good things.
8/8/13 I got to go to the temple in San Antonio with a couple of friends this morning. It was nice to have that peaceful break during the summer, and I had a great time chatting with Allison & Elizabeth on the ride there and back!
8/2/13 Just got back from a trip to my brother's house in Odessa. We had a fun time visiting with Steven, Sarah, Max & Madelyn! We also got to see my mom for a day since she came for a visit as well.

Kid Moments

7/14 I can't remember why, but we were talking about how baby sharks start out as an egg (I know...don't you wish you could listen in to all of our dinner conversations?) Connor says very matter-of-fact "A shark's egg's sac is also known as a mermaid's purse!"
6/14 We were talking about a girl we know who just donated her hair to Wigs for Kids. I told Connor it was for kids who had cancer and had lost their hair. He immediately replied "Or with kids who have alopecia areata." Apparently he learned about alopecia areata at career day and remembered every detail.
6/14 One day while we were eating Zach said randomly "If cannibals ate French people you could call it a French "fry."
2/28/14 (We have watched a LOT of the movie "Wall-E" over the last few weeks.) Landon: I wanna watch Wall-E the lobot. Lauree: No, not today. Landon: You stick a Wall-E the lobot Mommy? (stick = sick)
