Lucy and Beau in the SNOW!

Chris and I took Lucy and Beau up to Meadows to go snowboarding this past weekend. It was Lucy's second time and even Beau got on the board this time! It was a gorgeous day, sunny and barely any wind.

Last time we were there Lucy wanted to go on the chair lift but Chris thought she would be too scared. She hung onto this thought and had one thing on her mind when we got there. She didn't want to do any riding, just go on the chairlift. So they went and she did great!! She said it was just a little scary (but she loves scary stuff, makes us fast forward to scary parts in her movies - should we be worried? LOL).

After that she warmed up and her and Chris took a couple "runs" on the bunny slope and rode the magic carpet. She did great and had fun :) Everyone always loves to see her all decked out in her little outfit on that teeny tiny board, she gets lots of attention and has lots of admirers :)

Chris pulls Lucy, and recently Beau as well, around on the snowboard through the house. Beau LOVES it! He cries when it's Lucy's turn and the second it's free he is trying to get his feet in the bindings. So when he acted the same way up at the mountain we decided to let him give it a try! Cutest thing ever, the boy was in HEAVEN! I have a feeling this will become one of his "physical outlets", which he is going to need LOTS of...like father like son.

There were some little girls taking a rest and waiting for their parents at the bunny slope watching and cheering for Lucy and Beau, they were so cute! You can hear them in the background of these videos of Beau...

We finished the day with hot chocolate and macaroni and cheese in the lodge before heading home. They both passed out in the car before we were even out of the parking lot. It was a LONG but fun day that I hope Lucy will have fond memories of (and Beau will have the videos and pictures!).

The haircut

For Christmas I bought Olivia a gift certificate to take her and Lucy to get their hair cut at "Sit Still" in West Linn - two birds with one stone (or actually three I guess).

Lucy has had her first hair cut already when we cut the mullet off a year ago, but we haven't touched it since then. I was really hoping for a cute little bob but Lucy was having no part of it; she held strong for months on wanting to keep it long, like Rapunzel. Sigh, It was a hard argument to win, which is why I lost (plus I am not sure if daddy would have actually let me cut "his princesses" locks more than the quarter inch we did anyways!).

Olivia sat in a pink car (Lucy wasn't thrilled with this but conceded I think mostly because she was a little overwhelmed with the whole thing up until this point) and had her hair cut in a cute, sassy, shaggy A-line that looks soooo cute on her! Lucy ended up in an airplane and with a trim, a pretty french braid and GLITTER, like real princess hair. They both left with lollipops in hand and pretty happy :)

Here are the million pictures I took (sorry!!!)

All done, what do you think?
