Snip, snip

Well!!! I don't have pictures this time, but just had to share this moment with you! Miranda has been using scissors recently at daycare and so she wants to use them at home too. I told her that when you use scissors, that you only cut paper and nothing else. Don't try to cut your hair is one that I stressed on. Well, it didn't matter......she cut her hair today! I didn't know it until I was in her room and saw a clump of hair under her purple table. I freaked!!! I asked her if she cut her hair and then she freaked out too! She started bawling and wouldn't let go of me. She didn't even want to tell me where she cut her hair at. I finally took her hair down and brushed it to see if I could figure out where she cut it. It looks like she cut it on the left side of her head. Not too bad to notice anything, but I had to save her hair in a baggy so that I can label it saying "Miranda's first haircut, cut by Miranda on July 20th, 2008"!LOL Oh, but that's not all! She also cut her shorts that she had on her. There is a little slit on one of her legs to where she cut it. Good thing they were just hand me down shorts.LOL Then she wrote, with a pencil(fortunately), on her dresser in her room. What is going on with my child?!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Well, we had a good 4th of July weekend. Miranda and I got to sleep in 2 whole days in a row!!! Woohoo!!! That doesn't happen very often. Anyway, we went to my mom's for a huge lunch and then visited with some family and watched fireworks that evening at the Gurdon football field! It was nice. Miranda wouldn't agree though! She is terrified of loud noises, so she had me hold her ears and cover her eyes the entire time! It was fabulous!!! NOT!!! She did look cute though in her 4th of July shirt though. Take a look!

Lakehouse trip (cont.)

Here are more pics of Miranda enjoying her visit with our family. She really loved the bubble bath in the heart shaped tub with jets in it! You would be surprised what a little bit of baby shampoo and jets can make.LOL

Lakehouse trip

Miranda, my Dad, Scottie, and I went to Oakland, AR to visit my Aunt, Uncle, Grandma, and cousin at their lakehouse. It is so beautiful there! It is on the cove of Bull Shoals Lake. These are pics of Miranda in their boat one day. She loved it! I will post another one with pics of more of our visit. You can only add 5 pics at a time.

Open wide!!!

Miranda paid a visit to the dentist for a cleaning. This is actually her 2nd cleaning, but I failed to remember my camera. I cannot believe I did that. I took a few pics on my phone, but I have no internet on it. Anyway, she was a trooper once again! She had good and healthy teeth. He did mention that she had a sticky spot in the back that we need to keep an eye on. We brush faithfully, so hopefully we can prevent a cavity from happening. She goes back for another cleaning in October.

Gymnastics time!!!

Miranda joined gymnastics in April and I am just now getting this added to her blog. You know me! She is loving gymnastics and is catching on really quickly according to one of the teachers. I am very proud of her. Doesn't she look adorable in her leotards? We may be looking at a future Olympic gymnast!LOL

Swimming time!!!

Miranda got to go swimming at her cousin Shelby's birthday party. It was at a hotel in Texarkana where they have an indoor heated pool. She has come a long way since last year. She didn't want to put even a toe in the pool then, but now she wanted to go in it and swim. She loved it!!! In fact, she cried when we had to go home.
