First hair cuts!

Teagan and Rianne got their first hair cuts. Brielle wanted to play in the cars, but had no interest in cutting her hair. 

Where did my stylist go?  

There she is. Rianne was asking if she could trade cars.

Silly Rianne, we don't get our cars until we're all sexy. [sixteen] Sigh. 

Just a little off the back, I've got a big gymnastics meet. I'm going to be on ESPN.  

I've got a hair dryer at home too! So do my sisters. 

Rianne, I'm almost all done, just one more thing . . . 

Perfect! 

Cheese! 

Can we keep the car?

Rianne! Riaaaaaaane! Riaaaane! I got my haiiiiiiiiir cut! 

I'm gonna get my hair cute too!

Ready, set . . . 

Cute! 

Close up the trunk and . . . 

Go! Go! Go!

Ain't no way daddy's gonna let us get on a motorcycle!

I'm starting to sort of panic. 

I got my hair cut . . . 

and dried . . . 

and dried some more . . . . I gotta lotta hair! 

Now it's time to drive home. . . 

Let's go to the store first!

The Dolly Store!

Brielle: That's dollar store. How much longer are we going to be able to keep them shopping there . . .? Seeya next week!

On an unrelated note.. I don't think its been officially announced. All three girls are daytime potty trained! Down to just 6 pull-ups a day! Now to attempt nighttime potty training.... 

Happy Father's Day, a Garage Sale, Dadand Sleeping "Booty"

The girls got me Twizzlers for Father's Day . . .

And proceeded to eat them all.

What are you doing Rianne?

Just rollin' out the quads. Big run coming up.

A big run I'm going to win (oh the friendly rivalry begins!)

If you ever wonder how Mindy gets it all done.

Here's a look behind the Wizard's curtain!

Garage sale! It's nice not needing to bring diapers anymore.

We're going to need a bigger closet when they get older.

These play mats didn't have exponents or logarithms so the girls didn't want them anymore.

Shhhh, quiet Rianne, I'm playing Sleeping Booty.

Parenting in the digital age is exhausting.

Just you wait until we're teenagers.

One girls works, two girls watch. Construction workers, sigh.

Dad, I saw Jozy Altidore can't play against Portugal this Sunday, so I'm practicing my kicks. Okay ball, stay.

I'm gonna kick you!

Ummmmm. . . . .

Do over. See you next week!

The Girls Visit DMACC and a Quick Weekend in Arizona

The girls are on campus five minutes and the find the Culinary Institute!

They can push the button to get in, what do they need me for?

Pretty flowers . . .

The girls are in the Dean's office, Sally was nice enough to have blocks for them (I didn't tell them there were bubbles, that would have gone badly)

And the girls sang the clean up song and cleaned up . . .

Because that happens at home? Then they pushed the button to get up the alligator (elevator).

And now they are ghosts . . .

Brielle in the background: I can't see . . .

Shhhh, we're indivisible . . .

Daddy got to go to Arizona for the weekend and did a little run around campus. Why do they air condition the library at Arizona State when no one's inside?

Palm walk . . . sigh . . .

Pretty sweet rental car . . . naughty word alert for the next picture.

The Irish pub in Arizona with some wisdom . . .

 

2001 World Series!

A suite, Arizona style. (We were in the seats just behind the suite)

Even my brother was in town . . .

And the girls waiting for Daddy to come home . . .
