Last day being a single digit girl

Lauren turns 10 years old (double digits) on June 27.  All week she talked about how this was the last week, day etc that she would be a single digit girl.  We had to get a few pictures the night before she turned 10.  How did that happen?  Where is my little girl.

Referral Day nine years later

On June 7, 2004 I was told about my daughter.  I can't believe it has been 9 years since that day.  I look at Lauren and wonder how I got to be so lucky.

It was hot here today and so Lauren wanted her hair in a ponytail.  Not the best hair style for pictures but she is still a very pretty girl.

Friend's Birthday Weekend

Lauren Celebrated her 10th Birthday by inviting a few friends to join her at Arizona Grand Resort.  It was a great couple of days.  They enjoyed the water park area and then had fun in the room with some games, food and a sleepover.  They were all so good and they all got along so well.  Lauren has some great friends.  It was a great way to celebrate turing 10.

Memorial Day Fun

Memorial Day weekend is always fun when spent with cousins.

Last Day of School

Today was the last day of 4th grade.  Lauren and her classmates are now the kings and queens of the school.  I am not sure I am ready for a 5th grader.  Today was the moving up ceremony.  It always brings me to tears watching them move from grade to grade.  Time just speeds by!

Mother's Day

Science Fair Project

This year Lauren had to do a Science Fair project.  We decided to test whether the temperature of a rubber ball affects its bounce.  We had fun doing the project and I think it turned out really nice.  Lauren was so proud of her project.
