One Year of Giggles

Song - Teach Your Children by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young



Guess who has had one whole year of discoveries?


My grandson Henry!



He discovered that mommy is pretty cozy....



....and that naps can be refreshing.....



He discovered his tongue....





...and that playing in the pool is great fun!



He discovered his daddy will always have his back.



And he discovered baseball and football.....




...and that Lake Tahoe can be quite cold!





He discovered that sometimes people go away.....




...and boy is it fun when they return!










He discovered that both of his grandpa's are loving and fun!






And that hair cuts don't really hurt....




...and that Pat the Bunny is the best book ever!




He discovered his love for Great-Grandma Betty...



..and how to be gentle with flowers thanks to Grandma J.






He discovered food sometimes has a funny texture.....



...and that he isn't quite ready for a girlfriend yet!!!


For right now mommy will be my girlfriend....forever!




He discovered he has a very cool and funny uncle....





...and that he has a very loving family!



But you know the most important thing he discovered this year?







He discovered what happens when you go to sleep with damp hair....it's a riot in the morning!



"Love you to the moon and back Henry"

Hair Quandry

Song - Almost Cut My Hair by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young


 So for the last few weeks I have been going through my parents old albums and scanning photo's to share with my family.  One thing really stood out for me was my hair.



First mom had me looking like a little Kewpie Doll....



Next she took me through the uneven bang stage.....



I look very confused by it all!



All dolled up and my big brother is taking me to the Easter Parade.  But still, check out those bangs!  Maybe I was frigidity while getting my bangs cut, or maybe mom was figidity?



I am the one in the middle but it looks like my mom got ahold of my cousin Kari as well and gave her the "Betty Special"! My little brother Tim looks like he just woke from a nap with bed hair. Cute though - love those corduroy rompers and dimples!



OK.....here is where mom really lost it.  She must of trimmed my hair while I was napping????
My brother David and I were busy painting the house with water in this photo. 



Looks like it is finally growing out after several years.....or maybe I just learned to tip my head in a certain direction so my bangs look more level?



We're getting better.......



And I think we have a winner! 

The boys were easy - dad just shaved it all off, I think it was called a "butch cut". 




I think this was during mom's "Toni" permanent wave stage. Remember the pink plastic curling rods, paper wrappers and stinky smell of the permanent wave lotion?  Can you pick me out in this crowd of brothers and cousins?


Finally mom must of just given up and let me grow out my bangs and curled them into little pin curls.
(This was my Grace Kelly look while having tea with my friend Judy and our dolls - very chic)



I know, I know.....quite the rain outfit right?  But my wonky bangs are still peeking out!




Free at last of my funny bangs but it looks like Tim is in need of a haircut....oh Dad time to get out the clippers!

Later in life I went though my own hair phases but that will have to wait for another day......

TBT

Song - Hold Me Tight by The Beatles




I was just going though my photo's this morning to find something juicy to paint and I came across this photo of Mr. B and myself from 1978.  It was taken by my good friend Gwen on her front porch in Portland. Mr. B and I were taking a "road trip" in his sweet little blue Alfa Romeo.
