The haircut and other silly pics...

Olivia REALLY wanted to get her hair cut short so today I took her to finally get it done. She wanted it to be pretty short and I was nervous, but she was great! She loved it and keeps telling us so!! I was scheduled to get cut after her and she talked me in to the same haircut but it's definitely cuter on her! :)

February

Happy February, everyone!!! :)

I have made it a goal to try and publish things on my blog as they happen instead of weeks (or months) later!

We took a trip to Kansas last weekend to see Joel's mom and his sister's family as well as my family. We had a great time, even though we were just there for a few days.

Some highlights:

-going to the Shawnee County Library with Jane. They have the BEST kids section! Lots of fun things to do...

























































-Seeing Isabelle (our niece) again. She is such a sweetie and is growing so fast!






















-Visiting the farm during calving season.











































-Seeing Grandma's new project - egg-laying chickens! I took a ton of pictures of the girls checking the nests for eggs. It was so much fun!!!

















































































-Playing dress-up with my old prom dress and Grandma's old prom dress!!!


























































And I just had to throw this picture in for a good laugh!!!!!

-Dad sleeping with his buddy Ken...
