New Shoes And A Trip To The Park

We took Lauren to the park to play Sunday

and we all had to slide rather we wanted

to or not, see the finger, she means

business. She also got new shoes today

Dora light up sandals and she wore

them out of the store and has

enjoyed them ever since. Slide mama

A Young Tigeress Woods

While we were in Gatlinburg, we took Lauren to a place called "Hillbilly Golf" to play putt putt, you ride to the top of the hill and then play down the hill. She loved it, she would hit the ball with her orange golf stick ( her words) and then pick the ball up, put it next to the hole and then push it the rest of the way in and proclaim " Ball in Hole" she still talks about it, even today she told me her golf ball was red, mommy's was green and daddy's was purple. She had the best time playing putt putt golf. Maybe we have a little tiger on our hands ?

Steve, Lauren and I spent a week in beautiful Townsend, TN for a bi annual family reunion. Lauren loved playing with her cousins and we all had a great time seeing family again. We had 26 people come together from all over and stay at the same cabin for the gathering.

Happy Fathers Day

A Little Girl Needs Daddy

A little girl needs Daddy for many, many things:Like holding her high off the ground where the sunlight sings! Like being the deep music that tells her all is right When she awakens frantic with the terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain that rises in her heart And shows her how she might get home when all else falls apart.Like giving her the love that is her sea and air,So diving deep or soaring high she'll always find him there.

Jumpsters

I took the girls to jumpsters

today for a little while, they

had a good time but Lauren's

favorite thing there was

a school bus that you sit in

and once she saw it there

was no more jumping for her. Jocelyn excited because they had a castle jump

The school bus that captivated Lauren

Tanglewood Farms

Unlike her Chinese cousin Annslee, Lauren does not like farm animals. We took her last weekend to
Tanglewood Farms which is a farm of miniature animals and she was only impressed with the pony ride at the end.
