First Hair Cut

So, you kind of had a mullet thing going on in the back.  So, our friend Stephanie and myself decided it was time for you to get a haircut!  She gave you a sassy Type 3 hair cut and I just can't get over how amazing you look!!!  You weren't a big fan of actually getting your hair cut, but you love the results! 

You look amazing.  There are so many "moments" I want to capture where your hair looks perfect, but you are SO QUICK!  It's hard to catch you sitting still at all :)

Love you baby girl!

Our New Favorite Person

Is, Hillary!!! 

We tried it out once and it went great... so on days Starlynn goes to preschool, she's going to pick you up on her way to her barn and you can "help" feed horses and clean stalls!

No tears leaving mommy at all, and you were SO happy when you came back.  Your happy countenance and the way you waved at me when you got home warmed my heart.  Hillary is doing this for free, but it's worth all the money in the world to me to have you be so happy and get to do things you love. 

It made a pretty big difference in our day!  I think you're just like me.  Spend an hour or two with people once in a while then HORSES, HORSES, HORSES.  And dogs and cats and anything else that is not human.  Lol.  Love you Launa Lu.

Just Like Mommy

We decided that Launa has to grow up on a farm or ranch.  She is just like me.  But, my mom and I were speculating as to why, as a child, I didn't throw tantrums like this one.  The answer is: because I could always go outside!!  The first part of my childhood was in AZ and 80% of my memories are from playing OUTSIDE.  Then, when we moved to WA, we always, always (until now) lived on a property with horses right there with us.  And, as you might have guessed, I was ALWAYS there.  An hour or two with humans once in a while and then barn, barn, barn, horses, horses, horses. 

Launa is consistently trying to get me out the door.  And all she wants to do is "ride Bob Casady" (ride Bob and Casady). 

These photos capture her delight that we were OUTSIDE!!!! and GOING TO THE BARN!  and then RIDING!!!! 

She can be quite the challenge on days we don't do anything.  I thought I was a go-getter.  I am looking forward to the spring, when it's a little warmer, Harmony is a little older, etc.  I suspect we won't see much of the inside of our house come summer. Which, because Launa and I are so alike, that suits me just fine! 

And, we gotta make our dreams come true of having our own farm!

Launa: I got you girl.  I understand!

Let's get this show on the road already!

Chasing Ellie Mae down the street

I know I shouldn't!

But I'm gonna anyway!

She was happy to be on the horse, but was growing impatient with my picture taking.  She kept squealing at me.

I didn't get the smiles I wanted until we got the horse to move!!!

I love this little girl SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!

Talking

Not even 2 yet and you just said to Harmony, "Come give me hug. Lay down on me." I might have been one of the only ones that could understand it, but you said it.

It's like, "ome gimme ugg. Way dow ah me."

Lol. You say pretty much anything and everything. Love you so much talkative one!
