This and That

I finally got around to putting up that photo gallery on our basement walls this past weekend. I love how it turned out. I am so excited to watch the frames fill up as the years pass. The pictures will go from 6 months up to Lauren's Senior HS picture.

Lauren wanted to test out her rain boots and umbrella in the rain last week.

Finally, I will end with a bunch of funny things Lauren has said or done over the past few months. I keep writing them down on a pad of paper so I don't forget these gems! Hard to believe my baby will be 4 in less than a month.

• 5/16/10: Lauren has told numerous people that Jason and I are her second parents. Apparently she has made up a story that her first parents, Kevin and Heaven (WTH) died after eating dog food. What an imagination.
• 6/25/10: Lauren told me, "When I turn 16 I can drive a car and row a boat."
• 6/27/10: While sitting on my lap, "Mommy, I have to go potty. Sorry I almost tooted on you."
• 7/4/10: While at a cookout with family and friends, Lauren was sitting at a picnic table with her dad, me, and 2 sets of her grandparents. She asked me, "Where is grandpa?" I asked her which one (Grandpa Dave and Grandpa Mike were both there) She looked at my MIL, Diane, and said, "The one that belongs to that grandma."
• 7/5/10: Lauren stubbed her toe and Jason said we will have to take the toe off and she said, "No daddy, you can't. It is glued on."
• 7/10/10: Lauren stayed with my parents while Jason and I attended a wedding. Lauren went in the spare room where she sleeps and apparently put on some pajamas my mom had in a drawer instead of the ones I sent for her. My mom thought they looked a little small (it was a one-piece) The next morning, Lauren asked my mom for help getting them off and my mom said she looked at the tag and they were a size 18 months! Lauren is going to be 4 and is quite tall for her age...talk about some ride ups!
