Memorial Day Fun

I know this post is a little slow in coming, but what can I say, I'm slow. But we had a fun day. It started with breakfast at the church and a bike parade for the kids. They all had a great time bringing their bikes, scooters, etc. to ride. Kambrie still had training wheels on her bike, and sadly some of the kids were making fun of her. Someone even took one her training wheels off, then only put it half way back on so it fell right off when she started riding. I think I was more bugged than she was. We worked through it and she really had a good attitude. At one point she got a piggy back ride from a cute friend, then she just started sprinting around the parade route. I was really proud that she didn't let what others were saying about her get her down. I was of the attitude that when she wanted to learn to ride two wheels, she would. And it hasn't been a big priority for her. But. . . since Memorial Day she is a proud two wheel rider. It took her one day to learn, her nice sister helped her.

Me and my mom. She was visiting for about three weeks. Funny story. A few days after she got here she decided that she wanted me to cut her hair. I thought she was crazy, but she insisted so I did it. I'm so glad that I started in the back because I'm used to cutting Kysons hair, and so the first cut was pretty darn short. So I fixed that, then moved to the front, still just hacking away, not really knowing what I was doing, just trying to get it even. I was pretty nervous about how it was going to look when I was done. I kept telling her not to be upset, but she did ask me, knowing full well that I don't know what I am doing. But after I fixed it, she really liked it. She was a little surprised by how short it was in the back, but liked it. If she never asks me to cut her hair again I won't be at all surprised by that. But back to Memorial day, after the church thing, my mom and I went shopping. Kambrie had a friend over and Becca went to a friends house. Phil cut down our big tree (well a friend cut it down), so he worked on that. Then we went out to dinner with some good friends. It was a fun day all in all. Oh, look, it's the Cat in the Hat, oh I mean Phil.


Me and cute Janus. What a fun friend she is.
