Callie Mae Beauty Salon

We cut, color, up do, and make you beautiful!




This could be you for only $12.99!

Molly brought over one of her beauty school heads and Gallie LOVES it! She put it in her bedroom at night and kissed her good night. She calls her "her girl." Molly actually had planned to give each of the two girls one of the heads for Christmas... I guess she now knows it will be a well loved gift :) And P.S. Gallie now wants to go to beauty school.

And P.P.S. I was driving with Molly with "the girl" on my shoulders and people driving by thought that was pretty funny :)

Best Wednesday

Today was really great - I still wanted to take it easy from being sick, but we were definitely ready to get outside! We went berry picking (probably the last time for strawberries) this morning. And after lunch we went to the library. We spent the afternoon out on our lawn in the shade reading and playing.

Isn't this little dress cute? Gram Jennie got it for Gallie like 2 years ago and it finally fits her! It's her new favorite :)

Always take a second to stop and smell the flowers :)

Happy Birthday Cana!

I know it's late, but Happy Birthday to Cana last Saturday! Here is a picture of her and Callie playing last weekend!

Caleb and Gal went on a date to meet Cana for breakfast on her birthday morning. They had a good time. Then that evening we had some friends over for dinner and Caleb put on a little fireworks show :) The rest of the weekend was spent on the couch with 2 sickies (me and Gallie). It was sad to be stuck inside over such a nice holiday weekend, but hopefully the nice weather sticks around for awhile.

Anyway, I hope you had a great birthday, Cana!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Children's Museum

Last Saturday we went to the Children's Museum just to try to get our money's worth from our membership. On the membership note, I don't think we would ever get one to a museum again. Once you're there once, the next visits aren't as entertaining (coming from what I think is Callie's point of view) - she still has fun, but I would rather just maybe go once or twice a year, unless the exhibits change more frequently. The zoo is probably the only membership I would consider buying, but with the weather around here it may not be worth it either.

But anyway, we did have a good time and here are a few pictures.

Happy Birthday Josh!!!

Happy B-day to Josh, Caleb's twin brother! And also, this has nothing to do with their b-days, but isn't Elliot cute?!?!!!
