Haircuts for two, please!

I know I sent pictures to most of our "people", but I still wanted to post. The girls got two new 'dos yesterday and they look SOOOOOOO cute! Actually, they turned out better than I thought they would. And, as an added plus, getting ready for school this morning was sweet.

Cutie pie! So grown up......

Her short stacked 'do!

We love each other!

Before school this morning. Just adorable!

Sorry for the barrage of posts today, but I tried to keep them short and sweet! Besides, I think I'm all caught up now!!!!

Just call her Marilyn......

I really felt that this one deserved it's own post. While we were walking back up to the Rupp Arena entrance after we'd seen the animals getting prettied up, all of the kids walked on this air return vent thingie in the sidewalk. You know, they have the air shooting up out of them; I don't know what you call them??? Anyway, Ella was wearing an outfit that had a skirted top and we had her do the Marilyn Monroe pose, you know the white halter-dress pose from The Seven Year Itch? Here's how it turned out! I LOVE IT!

Mini-Marilyn

That's the real deal!

The Circus is in Town!

After going to King's Island the previous weekend, the girls and I headed to the circus with our neighbors! We had such a great time. God has surely blessed me with such wonderful friends and neighbors and I so enjoy having them in my life. I love having them to share these enjoyable experiences with. Melissa and Teri, I love you guys! *sniff* Okay, sorry about the weepies..... Anywho, we got to go behind Rupp Arena before the circus started and see some of the animals getting ready for the show. Tigers, zebras, elephants and horses were getting bathed and groomed so it was very fun to watch. The show was great and we loved every minute. Lots of pics here!!!!!

King's Island

We took the girls to King's Island a couple of weeks ago for the first time. They had a blast! Avynne completely bypassed the Nickelodeon Universe and headed straight for The Beast after deciding she wanted more excitement than The Fairly Odd Coaster could give her! She proceeded to ride Vortex, Shake, Rattle & Roll and Son of Beast (the only one she really didn't like) with Rick. She loved it! I rode The Beast with her once, but mostly Ella and I stayed in Nickelodeon Universe. Ella loved Little Bill's Giggle Coaster while my personal favorite was Scooby Doo's Haunted mansion. Here are some pictures from our day:
