Paris Layne hair salon

My sister just opened up a hair salon in Queen Creek called Paris Layne (named after her daughter and her business partner's daughter's middle name). If you're in the neighborhood you should stop in and get some highlights and while you're at it maybe a teeth whitening. No offense, it's not personal, but the salon does coincide with a dental office (Power Ranch Dental to be precise) so it's all too convenient. She does a great job and is comparatively affordable!

Perfectly Pink

Hello, Spring! I wish I had at least 11 of these trees planted around my house. I couldn't resist the pink on pink in this picture of my niece, Emmy, at her 2nd birthday party in Camp Verde. The day was as nice as it looks in this picture. Perfect Spring weather and perfectly pink.

A couple more favorites from the party...

The tractor ride down to the river.


Building sandcastles in party dresses

Danke Schön

Oma and Opa came to visit. They took us to dinner and even brought presents and cupcakes! Jonah just wanted to show his appreciation. (No matter they were actually for Isaak's birthday.)

Samiches in the Park

This little boy comes from a long line of self-proclaimed sandwich artists. His daddy being one of the most arrogant, I mean, talented. Although Isaak is not quite up to the task of slicing and toasting just yet, that's not going to stop him from enjoying the fruits of their labors.

What a Day for a Daydream

Summer's coming, can you feel it? These boys can and it feels this good.
