Big Girl Bed!

When "Uncle Tim" got married and moved out of his apt he gave us this bed. In SD, Meredith was sleeping in a "big girl bed" and daddy found out. So, before he left to go to SD, daddy put up Meredith's big girl bed in her room. She loves it!

Hair!

Gimme a head with hair,
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Breakfast on the Farm

June is National Dairy month and all over Wisconsin local farms in each county celebrate by having what they call "Breakfast on the Farm". It is really an all you an eat pancake breakfast with things like petting zoos, pedal tractor pulls, polka bands, balloons barn tours, antique tractors, etc. Our neighbor Jessie told us about it and Meredith and I went this morning. We had lots of fun! Here are some pictures of what Meredith saw:

Choo! Choo!

There is a man in our housing addition that loves trains so much he built a huge track in his back yard. His track is 1500 feet long and complete with two tunnels and a section that goes over a creek! Twice a summer he lets people come over and ride them for free! This was a part of Mara's (our neighbor girl) birthday party. Meredith had a great time on the trains!

Thumbsucker...

Well, Gabrielle will not take a buddy but she has found her thumb. As you can see, she loves it!

Where are the girls?

There they are! Meredith was "hiding" with Gabrielle in our bed one day.

Here are some other pictures of the girls as well:
