Clairey the Fairy!

Claire's aunt Tina made her this tutu for christmas this past year. She wore it all the time for a few weeks and then decided she wanted nothing to do with it. I was so happy when she came to me the other day and said she wanted to wear it and wear it she did! She wore it all day. We took the kids to a movie that day and she insisted on wearing it. Patrick thought it was a little weird at first, but she was so adorable! She took her little fairy wand and wanted to wear her pretty purple shoes. She was casting little fairy spells. She was so girly! I'm so glad she isn't all tom boy. She had me worried there for a while when her favorite toy was a motorcycle.

Crazy Hair Day!

So, the day before Kevin's last day of school they have what is called Crazy Hair Day! It's the one day of the year that the kids get to wear what they want and more importantly do their hair as crazy as they can. At first Kevin wanted nothing to do with crazy hair day. He was too embarassed to try something silly and new, but 5 minutes before school he changed his mind. This little mowhawk was what came of that 5 minutes. I just happened to be helping out at his school that day and I saw all the kids with their crazy hair. I was thinking Kevin's was pretty crazy, but oh no! I was wrong. Turns out it's a big thing at his school (he transfered there last October). One girl had put her hair in lots of little braids and then attached a helium filled balloon to each braid and another boy grew his hair out just so he could do a reverse mowhawk where he shaved all the hair down the middle of his head! It was like being in a Dr. Suess movie, Crazy! I guess I have my work cut out for me nexy year!

Bear Lake!

We went to Bear Lake a few weeks ago for Memorial Day weekend. We all needed to get away. It was fun! Here we all are at the beach! It wasn't very sunny, but it was still fun just the same. Kevin and Claire went crazy picking up and collecting shells. We also got to spend some time with Patrick's grandparents who live up in Garden City during the summer. They really enjoyed having Kevin and Claire around to entertain them! It was a great little trip away from home!
