What feels like the last week of winter

My parents have left, and this is Natalies first week being 3 years old.  Crazy how time flies!  But it has been a pretty good week with only a couple of mishaps.  Monday was nice, we got to spend a family day together since her cousins went to their other Aunties house.  Tuesday we went to the playground for our play date and it was such a beautiful day out.  Sunny and warm.  Wednesday however, I got a bad headache and stomach ache, had to cancel our play date Lydia and Mary and I spend the whole day just lounging around the house feeling more lazy than I wanted to!  It even snowed, but it was wet snow, and we missed it.  May have even been the last snow fall of the season.   Probably not, but the way the weather feels right now it sure feels like it! Natalie had her 3 year check up on thursday and then we headed over to grandma Pe'as house for a visit.  The cousins were over there and will be on friday too.  Natalie spend the night there and she may spend the night tonight as well, we will see though.  We are going to get her hair cut at cookie cutters on Saturday, which will be really fun I think!  So, so far a really good first week!


Tuesday: Natalie playing on the little ladder at Reservoir Park

Yeah she did it! 

The boys getting ready to get our of their stroller.  But man is it hard to take them to the park.  They literally both go in opposite directions and I have to constantly run after them both!

She's playing walk on the curb.  She loves it!

She is just the cutest 3 year old ever!

Twinning it on the swings! 

 She decided this was her baby dinosaur and kept kissing it and hugging it and telling me "mommy mine baby"

Monday: Took her nap in her new princess dress on her
3rd birthday :)  How cute!!!

Wednesday fun playing inside and pretending to fish off of her yellow toy box

We have to be quiet so we don't scare away the fish.  She just watched a show where the characters were fishing and they had to be quiet so they didn't scare away the fish.  She is so imaginative and cute!

Grandpa Lowen will love this!

And she is even fishing in style!  Look at that lovely skirt she is wearing.  Such a little girl at heart with a smudge of her grandma in her :)

Saturday hair cut at cookie cutters.  So the day that my parents got here to celebrate her birthday week, I got head butted in the face by Spencer.  While i was trying to stop Spencer from crying cause his head hurt (he smashed it into my face) and while in the bathroom trying to stop my lip from bleeding, Natalie found my scissors and went into the corner behind daddy's chair and cut a huge chuch of hair off the front and side of her head.  What a lovely surprise to come to after getting a busted lip.  Well it has been a week and and I just can't take it, so we took Natalie back to cookie cutters and they gave her the cutest little bob ever!  I loved it.  I think daddy thinks a bit too short, since he loved her with longer hair,  but I and everyone else loves it!

Before the hair cut...

How much do I love this place?….I can't even tell you!  How cool is it that they can ride in a toy car, wear a cute little apron, and watch toddler cartoons all the while getting their hair cut!  Ingenious seriously! 

a good slide ride after our hair it cute…loving the look!

The cute after pic!  Loving the bob! 

This is just one of the best pictures I think I have ever taken of her….and it was on El's iPhone. Go figure right!

picking up a think of flowers for some one in need of them, and she was my little helper.  She even held them the whole way home in the car.
