Mama's Birthday!

I really have the greatest mom! She always brightens my day, and helps me to laugh when times are stressful.

We saw the "Proposal" and it was pretty good aside from the nudity ;).

Tori's music camp

I signed up Tori for a two week summer music camp, and she loved it. Everyday has a theme, and these were my favorites. They were all based on Rock and Roll, and this one she was supposed to be ready to rock out at the sock-hop.

This one was rock star hair day.

This one was pink day. Here she is with her cute friend Olivia who also took the class with her.

My favorite one was rockstar day. The crazy thing is she sported the Michael Jackson "one glove" on the day he died, spooky;).

Tori's recital

This is her "Ya, I'm such a RockStar!" pose.

I love this picture because she has that little girl double chin, and I know it's coming soon when she'll look grown up =(.

They memorized nine songs and had cute little dances for all of them. Very impressive for only two weeks.

Tori was so excited her dad got her flower and tweenkies (Thanks Mark for the heads up!)

Dad's Birthday!

Here's my handsome dad with his cake Tori and I made. It turned out a little "Cat in the Hat" ish. It's funny because he's really 55 and I knew that, but I told Tori to grab a 5 and a 4, and she grabbed a 5 and 3. But it made him feel younger anyways!

Tori had never seen silly string so I bought her some to spray "papa."

She of course that it was the greatest invention ever.

Taylor was soo terrified of the silly string. This is her staring at the can, poor baby!

Taylor has such a fro!

Me and my pops.

This is what Tori got with her allowance...

I round brushed Taylor's hair for the first time. I thought it looked pretty presh.

Tori quote of the day

Tori: Mom, even though your being really mean right now, I still love ya.

Tori: "What's a Mullet?"

So a little over a week ago I caught Tori cutting her barbie's hair. I told her not to cut anymore barbies and she said, okay. I trusted Tori with scissors since she was like 2 years old. I went downstairs and 20 minutes later we see Tori coming down the stairs with this cheesy grin like she thought she looked so beautiful. My mouth dropped and I couldn't even look at her anymore because I could see that her bangs were about an inch long.

I almost squeezed out a tear, but I tried to hold it together. Brett of course High Five's her and says, "Wow, Tori, good job, now your hair is shorter than mine." It was then Tori became unsure about what she had done. When she saw that I was upset she asked me if I was mad, and when I said yes, she started to cry. So I just held her. She asked me when her new preschool started and I told her about 3 months. She asked if her hair would be long again by then. I said no. She asked if she looked like a boy. I said no but we'd have to fix her hair. She then told me that she should have asked me and that she promised never ever to do it again.

I told her she had a mullet. And of course replied, "What's a mullet?"

When I was cutting her hair she sang a song about how she always saw people cutting hair and so she had always wanted to do it herself. I never in a million years would have thought Tori would cut her hair. I guess after she cut her Barbie's hair she had the confidence to do her own. She also told me that I should have never told her about how I cut my own when I was little because it made her want to do it too. Stinker! So here are the end results. I'm very used to her pixie cut now, and actually like it.
