Our Backyard Paradise

Another beautiful day...in our backyard, which is exactly where we all want to be!  "There's no place like home" is becoming such a true statement in our house and even Hailey asked this morning, "mom, are we going anywhere today?" After I told her "no, we're staying home" she let out a shout, "YAAAAAY! REALLY?! Lindsey, did you hear that? We're staying home with mommy & daddy today!!"  I love that my girls cherish our little home and time with me & Chris as much as we cherish time with them.  I wish I could keep them this age forever too...both so cute & fun!



So, back to the slip n' slide + another slide to add to the excitement!



Then, it was Lindsey's turn...she was a bit more daring today.  Love the look on her face when she realized how cold the water was!



Lindsey wasn't too keen on the water after all enjoyed watching Hailey splash around...but didn't care for Hailey splashing her!...


But after we convinced her that it was only water and how good it felt on this HOT day, she was better...





Thank goodness Lindsey got tired of the sun and really prefers the shade with her fair complexion...so it was only fair to play in the shade for a while with some of her favorite things = babydolls, princess kitchen & her sister!




After a picnic lunch...it was popsicle time again!! And oooooh, the faces of "cold"...too cute!





After banana popsicles(which was one of my ultimate favorites & cravings when I was pregnant with Lindsey...little does she know, I had to have one every night..& dill pickles throughout the day...it was time to feed her baby "bra fouts!"  Yes, she means brussel sprouts.  That is one of her favorite cartoon character's favorite food...so it's her now too. Olivia the pig eats brussel sprouts and anything red...which will be her birthday party theme.  Don't worry, I won't bring any brussel sprouts.


We had so much fun...and too much sun!  Time to bring things inside, and I think I know what to add to Lindsey's room redo!


 Yep! It's a winner!

Hailey's 6th Birthday 'Gymnastics' Party!

A little bit of sunshine and new endeavors

The weather is warmer and the girls love our backyard paradise. I'm so grateful the both enjoy imagination play, hand-me-down swing sets and space to roam. Hailey has been enjoying her gymnastic class, tricks at home and trying to give me gray hairs....                                                     These girls love their trampoline!                                      Some of their made up games...surprise tag from the great down under...                    Always time for a picture while sitting and playing on the trampoline.                                        They got the biggest kick out of the static ele...

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...
