Prom Fashion Show

Jazmyne modeled a prom dress for the prom teen fashion show at Dillards this afternoon. 

This mama isn't ready to think about prom ... high school is hard enough! 

She sure did rock the runway though and I'm SO very proud of her!

She had her makeup done professionally, by a MAC consultant, courtesy of Dillards!

These pictures don't do the dress color any justice, it was beautiful!

Introducing Jazmyne ...

 After the fashion show, the girls were asked to walk around the mall and hand out fliers for Dillards.  Evan had fun teasing Jazmyne ....

 Modeling is hard work!  I caught Jaz snoozing on the sofa afterwards.  She is not a big nap person, so I knew she was worn out when I saw her like this ...

Hair

Easton LOVES hair.

It comforts him.

It's like a blanky, or paci, or a special stuffed animal that some kids are attached to.  

Whenever he drinks, he uses one had to hold his cup and the other is always playing with his hair, or, he'll come find me and twirl my hair.

Whenever I am holding him, he is usually holding a piece of my hair.

Here he is pictured rubbing my hair on his face ... and then licking it! 

He usually doesn't lick it, he was just being extra silly.  

I wonder how long he'll be attached to my hair?

Something tells me he's going to favor brunettes when he's older ;-)

"Dirty boys are happy boys"

"Dirty boys are happy boys" was the text I received from Ashley tonight, as she was watching the boys for us.  Sean's mother sadly passed away this afternoon and we needed some time to collect our thoughts and meet up with  family who was in town for dinner to process everything. I am so thankful and grateful for such a dear friend who takes such good care of our boys, like they are her own, during times like these.

The boys had a blast playing together and apparently they got really dirty playing in the backyard. 

This is the picture she texted to me ...    

After letting the boys play and answering Parker's question, "What is Heaven like?", she gave all 4 boys a bath.  She is a BRAVE woman to tackle such a chore! Huge thanks to her and her husband for watching our sweet boys for us tonight.

Future brain surgeons?

The boys both stopped and watched this interactive demo on the brain today as we walked by it at the doctor's office.  Parker was especially intrigued and kept asking questions. He really wanted to understand how the human brain works. It was really cute! Future brain surgeon?  Just maybe!

No cavities!

Jaz and Parker had dentist appointments today.  Both did great and no cavities! Yay!

Jaz is in the background, having x-rays done, and wearing the smiley face drape. I wish I could have captured her expression up close.  Let's just say it may be time to start looking into a more "mature" dental office for her. The smiley face drape had her rolling her eyes. It was actually quite amusing ... for me! We just love our pediatric dental office!

This boy has come a long way!  Makes me so proud seeing him so independent!  He did great for both the dentist assistant and dentist! 

Spring Break {Bowling}

Today was also Easton's 1st time actually bowling himself.  I've got a great video of him bowling. 

Fun times!!

6 years old suits him well

Neon

Leave it to this one to make neon look good! 

Night Sky

My new favorite app for the iPhone/iPad is the Night Sky app. 

 We had so much fun checking out tonight's sky!!
I especially loved seeing Venus and Jupiter. 

Matching on Sunday

The boys, sporting their matching shirts!

Easton is so good during Mass.  He usually keeps himself occupied by playing cars ...

Silly faces
