Larman Family: June 2010

HONK!

This afternoon we went to see Kate's performance in the musical HONK. It is the story of the ugly duckling. The kids loved it! We were all so proud of the great job Kate did on her performance.

Saturday we celebrated my great Aunt Debbie's 60th birthday by going to the horse races. I was so relaxing and fun. We ate in a nice restaraunt that overlooks the racetrack so you don't miss the action! It was great a buffet that you are welcome to help yourself to for 4 hours! I think I ate more than my weight in delicous food! As we stuffed our faces with yummy delights a nice women came to our table each race to place our bets and give us our winnings. It was a lot of fun. My big win was on the last race when I went a little crazy and bet a wopping $5 on a single horse! I won $19! So all in all I spent $20 on bets and left with $19, not bad for a whole afternoon of fun!

Beauty School Drop Out!

Unfortunately Sara hasn't even made it to drop out status by the time she manages to cut not only her own hair, but a sweet quiet innocent friend's hair too! I never thought this would happen to me! If anything it would be someone elses child who cut Sara's hair, but no! She decided that dress up just wasn't complete without a haircut! Well hopefully after a severe talking to including grounding this will never happen again. I know you are thinking, famous last words, right? Well lets hope not for not only my sake but for the sake of every little girl that ever comes over to play with Sara.

Happy Birthday "Best Nephew Ever"!

Last week James turned 1! We had a wonderful family party with more good food than one can imagine! I made James a mondey cake in which he dove face first into! He kept looking around like shouldn't ya'll be stopping me? I think he had lots of fun. We sure enjoyed watching him!

Schools Out for Summer!!!

So now that we are free from school we are wasting no time having fun, especially because Wednessday I start my new job and the kids start back to school at my place of work Monday. Friday we enjoyed a morning at the splash park- Clayton finally likes to get splashed! YAY! Then we took a little nap, and headed over to our favorite "Neighborhood Pool" to swim with Helena!
Then first thing Monday morning we headed to the Dallas Zoo to check out the new Elephant/Giraffe exhibit. And it was sure to not dissapoint! We were so excited to get to feed the giraffes! Super up close and personal! After we saw all the animals in their new homes we headed over to the watering hole to cool off! I had a fun conversation with Sara:
Sara: "Mom I don't need more sunscreen on my face I want to get sunburned."
Me; "Why?"
Sara: "Because I like it when people feel sorry for me."
Lucky for her after getting covered in sunscreen she was blessed with a scraped toe for attention.
