A Whole Bunch of Everything... And Happy Birthday Quoi 2 months ago!!

It has been so crazy her birthday was June 23 and I'm just posting:(

Her Minnie Cupcake Cake!
Lincoln had a Mickey one so she wanted a Minnie one. She was so happy and got to help with the decorating.

Our grouchy princess on her day:)

Party at Hoover Park:

What a princess. She had such a good time with all her closest friends:)

She loves necklaces!

Grant, Aiden, Inara, Carter, and Jackie's kids all helped open the gifts. She loved it.

The GUITAR! I made the mistake of saying in the store, "Ok Sissy, pick out whatever you want." She knew exactly what she wanted, even after I tried to lead her into a different choice. Nope, the guitar. She still loves it, so it was worth it.

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!"

Our princess with an attitude!

She had a wonderful birthday and loved that she got to be with all her friends on her day!

They both LOVE playing with tea set. I love their delicious "cakes" and "milk." The best chefs:)

She loves her stuffed dolls.

Loves chocolate!

As much as I try, she still ends up looking like this after almost every meal.

Our baby Quoi is precious.

We went to the parade here in Casper. It was 3 hrs long, so no, we did not make it through the whole thing. But it was fun!

These pics were on my phone. Some more of our "goodbye pictures"

Aw... just makes me sad!

We will always love Inara:)

They still ask about Inara, and are so excited to get to go to her house next week!

They love to drive their friend Zora's car around when we go play. (a Casper friend)

The Splash Park/Flaming Gorge Days

I think the splash park is what they miss most about Green River. Especially Sequoia, that girl loves swimming and water!

Lincoln went down the huge slide over and over. I was impressed. I went down once and was terrified.

Nerd:)

Lincoln's first Dental Check-up. My friend Lyndsay cleaned his teeth. She was super impressed by how good he was! She said usually kids wont let them do anything, but they even got x-rays of him too. I was a proud Mamma:)

He even got to hold the suction and do it all by himself. Pro.

I walked in the kitchen to this wonderful mess. What else can you do by then but take a picture? These two and chocolate!! Definitely their mother's child:)

My favorite time of the day:)

I wish I could have taken more pictures!! This was from the Nana Family Reunion. It was so fun to hang out with everyone. And I'm so sad that we lived next to Crystal Hot Springs while growing up and never even knew about it! I loved it! It was quite brown water, but natural so what do you expect? The kids had a great time and loved swimming, being with grandma and grandpa for so long, and eating till they were sick.

We stayed at the campground at Crystal. Not all the extended family got to come but I'm so happy my family could all be there and we could chat (of course minus Jon and Mike:) And as always me and camping don't always work out so I was a bit/a lot stressed, but I was so happy to be there. And the kids especially to be around other people other than their mom the whole time! They did great camping.

I was sad that was the same weekend I got released from YW. It was so hard to leave the girls. I knew it was coming since we were moving, but it still didn't make it any easier. I will miss them!

I don't remember if I posted these pics earlier or not from months ago. Annie bought some pill things, put them in water, and they turn into spongy animals. The kids were fascinated!

Lincoln and Damon are so cute together:)

I miss Linc's long hair!

Love the morning sleepy eyes!

I cut my hair!!

I had been wanting to donate my hair forever now. After a few years of talking about it and convincing Mike, I decided I was doing it! I went to a day spa/salon thinking it should be pretty good. One of the worst days for me:(

I told the stylist how nervous I was and how long it took me to decide to do it. I read all about donating hair and was ready! She just brushed me off when I was explaining what to do and said, "Oh, I've done it so many times, I couldn't even count how many, no big deal." Ok great!! She put it in a ponytail, snipped (fast and no measuring!!), walked to the counter, and dropped it all over the floor!! It slipped out of the ponytail. I was freaking out inside! I couldn't cry because I was stunned and I couldn't walk out because someone had to finish my hair left on my head! So in the end, I now have short hair. She said she would pick it up and put it together, so when I walked out, I donated my hair. What she ended up doing with it I will never know.

I like that it is lighter and I can do so much more with it! I'll try to get some better pics of it soon.

It's a bummer the videos are sideways. I couldn't change them:(

Linc is our show off and loves the spot light. Hmmm... Just like his Mommy? :)

This was the first time I heard her say her alphabet the whole way through. She is so shy even with me when it comes to repeating. I can't get her to say things back often. She is stubborn that way. But I'm happy we got it on video finally! And do you love how Lincoln can't have the camera away from himself! They are so opposite:)

(I love Linc's cup)

That girl just loves it!
