Birthday girl!

On Wednesday mommy and daddy celebrated Lauren's Birthday. We took her to lunch at none other than Chuck E Cheese's.

She found Chuck E. before mom could even get back with the tokens!


He danced and sang.....the place was packed.....just kidding. It was completely empty and we had it to ourselves. It was great!


Waving to Chuck after he finished his song and dance. She only ate about 2 bites of her pizza and a couple sips of her drink....too much going on!

I think she had a good time. She didn't want to leave. She got an over sized stuffed hammer to bop us with as her toy from her tickets (plus some extra $$....the house always wins, right?). It was a great way to burn some energy and mom is going to have to remember that place for when it's raining all winter long! Especially if it's really that empty all the time during lunch and the school year!

It was such a nice day that when we got home, daddy mowed the lawn and we played outside. But trying to get pictures of the Birthday was less than easy. She's on the go 100% of the time and won't even stop to say "cheese" any more!

Stopping to smell the flowers...lovely dandelions! She's funny because she blows out when you ask her to smell the flower!




Running....a non stop activity all day, especially when outside!




I absolutely love this. She pouts whenever told no. It's instantaneous. She was headed into the tall grass with the snakes and field mice.....probably not a good idea since she is the child that tried to catch a bee with her hand the day before.

I think she had a fun birthday. In a few weeks her and mommy are going to Nick Jr's Storytime Live in Portland at the Keller Auditorium. Should be fun....at least for Lauren!
