Pretty toes

I painted Haylee's toes for the first time a few weeks ago and she thought it was the COOLEST thing! So all the paint had worn off and she kept asking me to do it again. So we did on Sunday. This time we took pictures though! She's getting so big and more and more fun everyday!

The Dallas World Aquarium

We ventured out to the Dallas World Aquarium yesterday hoping for some fun. Hmm...let's just say we were all three a tad dissapointed. Tommy and I are pretty sure that it would have been more enjoyable if EVERY daycare in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex hadn't been there when we were there. Needless to say, it was PACKED! But we made the best of it and tried to get our $41.00 worth!

This is Haylee out side of the Aquarium...
We paid $41.00, drove 45 minutes, and waited in long lines for Haylee to play with a computer screen....typical, huh?

She also enjoyed looking at the turtles...

But her favorite was definitely the pengiuns.

Here is what I saw at the penguin exhibit:

Here is what Haylee saw:

We still enjoyed each other's company.....and all the other sweaty, smelly kids in Dallas. :)

Happy summer!

Learning to share!

Cute picture!

Renee emailed me this cute picture of H & H in the car the other day...Haylee loves to hold our hands when we're in the car driving. So when Harrison was next to her, she decided she wanted to hold his hand! hehe...too cute!

The jpg file she sent me is tiny.....so enjoy! :)

Baby "Alla"

My friend Jennifer and her 5 month old, Adelyn, came over on Monday to swim! Haylee's translation of Adelyn was "Alla". Haylee just LOVES babies...so she was in heaven!! And she was very excited to get her picture taken with Baby Alla...as you can see below.

Here is a picture of all four of us on our way to the pool...

Here are the girls in the wagon ready to swim!

More summer fun!

Here's a picture of Haylee and I before one of our MANY trips to the pool! We are having sooo much fun!


Haylee LOVES to color! We usually color in her room at her little table and chairs. However, I read a GREAT idea in a parenting book the other day -- to teach them to sit and work quietly and independently...have them color in their high chair. It is BRILLIANT! She will literally sit there for 20 minutes or so and color! Then I get chores done around the house...!

H & H are at it again!

Harrison & Renee came over last Thursday. As always, we had a great time! We ate lunch and played. Then the kids took naps while Renee and I got started on our summer scrapbooking marathon...yipee! Then Tommy cooked us dinner - yum! So Renee and I did the dishes while Tommy took H & H for a walk around the pond. They were too cute!

Haylee is running here and is almost completely in the air!


I'm not really sure what the conversation between Tommy & Haylee was right here....probably funny though.

Haylee & Mom

I just love this picture! Two happy round faces....hehe :)

The ham

Haylee wanted her picture taken with Baby the Bear the other day. She grabbed baby and said, "baby - cheese - baby - cheese". But she wouldn't be still for the pic....She's too funny. Here's the best I got.

Then she went solo.

And then she made Tommy and I's favorite face....HAHA!

Then she was back to her LOUD lawn-mower. Thanks again Buzzy and Debbie! ;)

Playing in the backyard

is one of Haylee's new favorites at the new house!

Here she is being introduced to running in the sprinklers!

I just wish it was cute for grown-ups to show off their butt and leg rolls in a tight bathing suit! Bummer...

Haylee also enjoys coloring with chalk on the pavement. She is quite the artist too! ;)

Bebe brought her an outdoor toy box for the backyard. She likes to take stuff out of it and climb in herself! HA! This picture looks like she's posing...cracks me up!

Happy summer! :) :)

Is she really this big???
