Wow a lot has happened at our house since my last blog. We had a great weekend as a family. We honestly don't get many that we actually get to have family time without a million obligations! Bradley and I have both said how much we enjoyed it and hope we can repeat it soon.
Saturday I took both kids to get their hair cuts. Blake still does not like the experience! I can't say I blame him either. He just has so much hair though, I have to keep getting it cut off in the back and around his ears. Lauren took the plunge and cut hers short - shoulder length that is. She has had it long since she's had hair so this was a big step. It looks so much better now! Now we just need her bangs to grow out and then we're good to go.
Following the hair cuts Lauren had a birthday party. She had lots of fun with the other kids. Then Saturday afternoon we went car shopping. My Trailblazer has lots of miles on it so it's getting time to replace it. We need something with more seating so when Lauren brings a friend home we have more room. We didn't buy anything yet but at least have narrowed it down to what we want to get when we find the right deal. Then later Saturday night we went over to our neighbors house for a Relay for Life benefit they were hosting. Lauren had great fun feeding the fish on thier lake and we enjoyed tasting their homeade wine. Did you know you could make wine from dandelions? It's surprisingly good too! Lauren talked me into bidding on an autographed Taylor Swift CD on the silent auction. Lucky for her we won it! So she's a happy girl now that she can listen to Love Song whenever she likes.
Sunday we spent the day doing home beautification projects. Lauren was thrilled to wear her bathing suit most of the day and playing with the sprinkler ball. Blake got so much fresh air he tuckered out in the walker! That'a first!
This week we are visiting my mom and dad. Bradley is out of town all week on business so since we have a free week before the summer activities start for Lauren we decided to come visit. It's always nice to visit your parents and have mom do the cooking instead of me! I'm so fortunate to have a wonderful mom who dearly loves my children. Lauren keeps Grandma hopping with all kinds of pretend games, etc.
The one negative since my last blog is my back/pelvis/hips. For those who aren't aware, I suffered from hip distocia when I delivered Lauren. Ever since I have paid a price with my hips aching all the time. I have been through physical therapy and regular chiropractor visits. Needless to say it gets better then worse and the cycle continues. Today I had one of the worst days yet when I had tingling down both legs. My chiro has decided its time for an MRI. So I'm not looking forward to that on Monday. I do however want to have a better understanding of the problem and how it can be fixed because I can't deal with the pain much longer! Lugging my 26 pound almost 9 month old around does not help it any! He's a true momma's boy who dearly loves to be carried which is not a good thing for me. So say a prayer that we find a solution!
