She cut it off...

Before school was officially finished Barrett wanted to get her 1st major hair cut. A shorter cut to keep her cool for summer and looking like a 1st grader. She loves it!

And then she was a first grader...

Barrett graduated from Kindergarten yesterday. Perfect report card. Love from teacher. Fun with friends. Proud moment. Tears from mommy.

Say "First Grade"!

Happy Mother's Day

I have already had a wonderful start to the Mother's Day weekend. This morning there was a special Mothers Mass at Barrett's school where the children sang beautifully and even sang a blessing song for all of us. Then we went back to the classroom where the kids serenaded us again and served us morning treats and gave us gifts. It was very special!

I hope your Mothers Day will be just as special!!!!

Reigning Egghunt Champion...

We hid a whopping 115 eggs this year. Barrett holds her title on top with 41.

This year's 2nd place winner with 29 eggs is ......Peyton! Those Laspe girls are quick and focused.

Richie came in with 27 eggs saying "Barrett always wins..." and Matt brought up the rear with 18. There's always next year! With a little training.....

Barrett and Richie found the bonus prize eggs with the $5 prize. They were happy hunters!

Colored eggs, colored hands...

I know...I know...I am so behind!

St. Pat's Day....

My Little Fashion Model

Barrett was a swimsuit model in the American Girl Fashion Show at Sacred Heart Academy in St. Charles on March 6th, 2009. Despite her usual shy demeanor, she did a dynamite job strutting the runway. She had a great time and I'm so proud of her!
