My New Shoes

Take a look at Lauren's new flip flops. Many of you know that Lauren really hasn't been able to wear 'fun' shoes because she turns her feet inward to walk. Don't get me wrong, her shoes are always cute but supportive. She has gotten much better with her feet! Lauren loves her new flip flops so much that she asks to sleep with them. She definitely is a shoe lover, like Mommy!

Go Team Midland

What a busy night!

On Thursday we attended Daddy's first baseball game. And.........they WON! Thank goodness there was a playground near by. After the game we went to Chuck E. Cheese for a birthday party. Check out Lauren's Chuck E. Cheese cards.

Nice Diva face!

Caught Ya!

Oh, Bailey!

I don't think that chair is your size?

Easter

Happy Easter!

Easter was such a fun past time for me. I always remember waking up to an Egg Hunt and a special basket from the Easter Bunny. That's pretty good for a 1/2 Jewish kid! I have the best memories to hold on to from my Dad.

(Sorry, Renee...I had to post this!) Renee and Aimee Easter Egg hunting.
My Dad sticking out his tongue at my Mom's camera, while I found some eggs. I will share some great memories with Lauren about her Grandpa!

I want Lauren to have the same special memories on Holidays, too! Today Lauren woke up to an Easter Basket filled with everything she liked! Daddy cooked us breakfast and we enjoyed eating together as a family. After nap time, we headed down to Disney's Celebration Town to meet Bubbie, Abuela, Abuelo, and Titi Mariel. We walked around and then ate at a wonderful restaurant named, Columbia. The food was fantastic. Lauren survived the dinner. She enjoyed the food of course. Any restaurant who serves chicken fingers and fries knows what they are doing! It is very hard to have a two year old sit through an adult meal. We took two walks during dinner. One in the middle and one at the end. Crayons and an MP3 Player only buy you so much time. (Thanks for the player Renee!) She did seem very well behaved, Mommy was just exhausted. We all strolled over to an Ice Cream Parlor afterwards. That was so yummy. Ice Cream always makes the evening special!

My little goof ball trying to carry Mommy's purse.

Easter Weekend

Today Auntee Neh-Neh, Bubbie, Lauren and Mommy went to Disney. We were excited to see the Easter Bunny. Lauren sure wanted to see the Easter Bunny from far away. When it was our turn to take a picture, she started to get scared. For some laughs.....look closely at what Lauren is doing with her finger! Hmmm......

~ It's a Small World Ride with Auntee Neh-Neh (Renee) ~ It was hard to get Lauren to stay still for the picture!

Cuddle Time

Lauren loves to cuddle on the couch and watch movies. Bailey gets her fair share of cuddles, too! What a great pillow.

American Idol.....here comes your next contestant.

(minus the bedhead) yikes!

School Spring Photos

Twice a year Lauren's school has picture day. I always wonder how they will come out. She usually is hard to photograph because of her quick 'cheese' pose. Not long enough to capture on film. It looks as if she is thinking about her pose in the first picture.

Picture One: "What do you want me to do?"

Picture Two: "Hurry, and take the picture already. I can't hold this pose forever!"

Build-A-Bear

On this cold, windy weekend we took Lauren to Build-A-Bear Workshop. We've walked through the store before and 'window shopped', but never actually bought anything. She loved going through the whole process. We picked a bear. She gave the bear to the lady and waited patiently to get the bear stuffed. She gave the Bear's heart lots of love and stuffed it inside. After taking the bear to the bathing station, we shopped around for an outfit. She picked out a Disney Cinderella dress. We looked at everything and that was the only one she wanted. While we sat at the computer to make the Bear's birth certificate, we tried to get Lauren to name the bear. Finally at home, she named the bear.....drum roll please............Bluh-blick. Interesting, isn't it?

The last picture is Lauren and Bluh-blick reading a book before bed. Bluh-blick is wearing Lauren's matching night-shirt.

ESPN Weekend ~ Hollywood Studios

This past weekend, Lauren, Daddy, and Mommy went to ESPN Weekend at Hollywood Studios. (AKA~ MGM) This was Daddy's special sports day treat! Of course, Lauren was able to do the specials things she loved. We got to see the 'updated' show for Playhouse Disney. She loved seeing Mickey!
For Daddy's sake, we saw a taping of a Baseball ESPN show. Lauren munched on snacks during the show. If it was any longer she would not have lasted!

I saw many cute baseball players!

They also were taping ESPN radio, with famous people that I didn't know, of course.As you can see, Lauren is wiped out. At the end of the day we finally saw Fantasmic! Wow...what a great fireworks/show it is. I can't believe I just saw it. Lauren loved it!
