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???
