8 months, ear piercing, and Toby Keith's Bar and Grill

So we celebrated Lauren turning 8 months old, by having a girls day out. Terra, Grandma Tiger, Sue, Lauren and I all went to OKC. We started off at the mall and ended up at Hobby Lobby. In between we managed a few stops, including Toby Keith's Bar and Grill and Harbor Freight. Toby's was awesome, and the food was great. We had a lot of fun! I found my mother's day present at Harbor Freight, stainless steel solar lights for the front and back yard. And they are nice.

<----- Grandma Tiger thought Lauren needed some makeup... ain't she purdy!?!?!?!


At the mall, I get the 'meanest mother of the year award'... I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to get Lauren's ears pierced. It took a bit of convincing on Levi's behalf, but he reluctantly agreed.


I think the threat was somewhere along the lines of: "if her ears hurt, and she gets an infection, I don't want to hear about it!"

Okay, sure, people pierce their baby's ears all the time, and they are fine, she'll be fine! And she was... she cried, but I think the biggest part of it was being held down, she didn't like that. But a few minutes after the evil doings and she was happy and ready to shop some more.





<----- making sure all is well!











<----- Definitely not a happy camper!










At Toby Keith's, I took her picture up on the band stage... This is the only shot I managed as she took off crawling afterwards and I was left to catch her. The rest are just some pictures goofing off... kind of self explanatory:












































<----- Her ears look big here, but they really aren't... you'll notice the sign coming out of the left (your left, her right) ear.








<---- last is a picture on the way home of the princess catching some beauty rest.
