Sleeping Beauty

Sleep is a rare thing for Lauren, but when it does come she falls asleep in some interesting places. She posed herself on the chair like this I think knowing that she was going to take a nap. Looks pretty comfy to me. I don't mind that she doesn't really nap, it's the nighttime that bothers me. We fight her to go to bed until 10-10:30 every single night. She just says that she's not tired. We threaten to take things away and she just doesn't care. She comes out of her room like every 2 minutes until she finally falls asleep. She shares a room with Will too which is hard because we don't want her to wake him up. We've tried locking the door, but that doesn't work. It is SOOOO frustrating!! Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here she fell asleep attempting to help me make dinner. We tried to keep her awake because it was like 6pm.

I cut my hair a couple of weeks ago. My sister-in-law, Jocelyn, did it for me. She's married to Matt's brother, Scott. Thanks Jocelyn! She just graduated from Cosmotology school. I guess that's what you call it. I really like it. It's something different that I haven't tried before. It's shorter than I've gone in quite a while. Anyway, so if anyone's looking for a good haircut, call Jocelyn.

The Cabin

We went up to the cabin over President's Day. It's in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. There was a ton of snow. Well, more than there has been in a long time. Probably about 4 feet. Lauren went sledding with Kali and Carter (They are my cousin Katie's kids). They would sled down the hill on the side of the cabin and then McKell would help them back up the hill. Lauren loved it. Kali is a year older than her but they are good friends. While we were there they would even go to the bathroom together and help each other wipe. They're crazy!

Beautiful blue-eyed William

Lately Will has been really into doing the "fishy" face or "kissy" face. He does it all the time. Maybe we should have named him Fishy Brown after all. That's what Lauren called him for the few months before I had him.
Matt got this mustache from a student at school. They put it on Will. He didn't really like it, but it sure looked hilarious.


Will is the sweetest little boy in the world and he has the most beautiful blue eyes. He is just a good little boy and very tolerant of his big sister who can be quite the bully. She loves to hug him, but always a little too hard. You'd think his head would pop off, but he never cries or anything. He just waits until she's done and then goes back to whatever he was doing. I love my little boy!!!

Princess Jessica





So Lauren loves to put on all of my headbands at once and call herself Princess Jessica. I would think that it would give her a headache, but she loves it. (She was helping me make something with Coolwhip, hence the Coolwhip on her face). She is a funny girl!
