Natalieism

This is a recent conversation I had with my 2 year old the other day.

N: Mom, I hungry.
Me: You're hungry? What do you want?
N: Um...eat.
Me: Okay, what do you want to eat?
N: Um...lunch.
Me: Okay, what do you want for lunch?
N: Um....EAT!!

*eyeroll* This conversation can go as long as I let it. Finally I usually give up and say, do you want a sandwich or a quesadilla?

Natalie: Burrito!

Hope you enjoyed our lunch conversation. :)

From Piggie Tails to French Braids

I just can't believe how much Natalie's hair has grown over this past year. This is a picture of her last year in Feb. She had just enough hair to pull into two little piggie tails on the top of her head.

This is her hair taken yesterday in french braids! All that hair in one year! That is crazy! I'm glad that she sits still and lets me play with her hair. :) When it is freshly washed and combed, it goes halfway down her back. When it dries, the bottom half of her hair is so curly, that it shrinks to just below her shoulders.

I can only imagine how long her hair will be next year, if this growing pattern continues....

Another Birthday

Yes, it seems that the last few posts have been about birthdays, but such is the life when you have one a month. :) Well, this time it was MY birthday. I woke up to find 1 dozen beautiful red roses on the table and the sweetest card from my hubby. :) Then, the boys did their chores without fighting me on it! That is a gift in itself. It was a very relaxing day. Took the kiddo's to Jumpin' Jacks to let them burn off some energy, since it was raining all day. Had a late lunch, and then Grandma and Grandpa came over and took all 3 kiddo's to the movies. :) Jared came home early from work, so we just hung out for a little while, until it was a reasonable time to go eat dinner. We went to Applebee's. I love that place. Yummy food, healthy options, great price. Came home, kids got home, put them to bed, and then I went shopping for myself. I haven't done that since christmas, when my sister made me go. ;) I went to Deseret Industries, and came home with 2 pair of capri's, and a jean skirt for $16! I love shopping there. The best present that I got yesterday by far was when I stepped on the scale, and looked down at my weight. I am down 60 lbs!!! That felt great. Anyway, no pictures today. :)
