Family

This past weekend we were in Little Rock for my mom who had surgery Thursday. For those of you who didn't know she had found a lump in her breast which of course scared us all to death since her history includes pancreatic cancer. She ended up having a breast biopsy which then turned into a lumpectomy. I'm happy to report that she is doing fine and the tests came back all clear! You couldn't ask for better blessings than that! One good thing that did come out of it all was lots of family time and pictures...my 2 favorite things!

I realized after my last post that I didn't give you a clear picture of the girls new rockin haircuts. They have been begging me for about a month to get their long hair cut off and I just wasn't into it...but as Taylor so often does, she reminded me that my hair was short and she really wanted her hair shorter.  So...off to the hairdresser we went. We ended up with stacked bobs that are just about as cute as a haircut can get. I think it aged the girls by a few years...they are getting so big!

While eating at US Pizza we got a little snap happy and took a few shots. Not the best technique, but they were just fun family pictures.Lu of course was being her crazy self in most of the shots.

Just for cuteness purposes I have to throw in a picture of PJ

We were also able to visit my Uncle Ed and Aunt Pete. I didn't realize how much I really missed them until we were over there. I have tons of memories of them and it was fun to see them interact with my kids. Uncle Ed's house was our 'country' house. Tons of room to run around, tractors, cows, lots of dogs & cats. Big fun for a kid! At their house was where I realized I was allergic to cats. My eyes would itch, swell, and tear for hours, but I didn't care...I was playing with those cats! Their daughter (my cousin Trish) had a piano that I was just sure I could play...which I couldn't. But, thinking back about Trish I realized that she was so much older than me, but still took the time to make me feel special and actually acted like she wanted me around. I'll have to make sure and thank her for that next time I see her. She didn't have to be so nice, but I'm so glad she was.

Uncle Ed took each of the kids for a 4 wheeler ride and pushed them on the tree swing. They had so much fun and have been begging to go back soon.
