Lauren was very upset that we didn't have the big birthday party for her like we did the year before. Yes, I didn't get it together enough to have friends over. So instead Lauren was able to take two friends to a place called "Bouncing Off the Wall" it's an indoor bounce house place. I also took the girls out of lunch and ice cream. I think she had a good day.

Day with Alex

Lauren's good friend Alex came over to play on March 13 after school. They rode the bus home together and then had lunch. It was such a nice day they were able to play outside for a long time.

Lauren's Birthday

Lauren's birthday March 12, 2009- What a day she had. It started out with her awesome mom making her banana muffins for breakfast with a little bit of frosting, although she didn't like them. Then at school I brought her cupcakes to share with the class. That evening Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Young came over with a gift and to visit for awhile. Next Grandma and Grandpa Mark came over for dinner and cake. Lauren had her favorite salmon for dinner.

Cat in the basket

Our crazy cat likes to sleep on paper and in boxes or small places, I thought this was funny since the basket is full of paper and the basket is too small to fit his big body in.
