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!

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! ...

1st Day of Fall 2012

What can I say, other than the 1st day of fall is absolutely beautiful! (even though my girls want to watch Christmas movies today).  Hailey isn't feeling very well, but managed to play outside and enjoy the weather for a little while...and of course get a few pics of the kiddos with our glamorous glittering pumpkins...so girly! Some other accomplishments this week...Hailey read the bedtime story 2 nights ago...might have been a "Dick & Jane" book, but mommy was so proud! Lindsey has taken on "spitting" which we are trying to break!  She also gets a big kick out of putting her mouth on mine or Chris' belly and blowing, followed by, "I pooted!!"  Yep, I think she might be our tomboy...  Hailey had the best attempt at getting Lindsey to try to stop spitting by saying, "Lindsey! Stop spitting or you're going to turn into a BOY!!"  Lindsey responded, "Oh noooo!" with her hands on her cheeks and hasn't att...

Bible lesson & Haircuts!

 Hailey had a VERY hard time with her decision to get a hair cut...especially after learning about Samson(in the Bible)!  She wants to be as strong as Samson & remembers that he lost his strength when Delilah cut his hair.  I had to make a promise to her that she would not loose her strength...but that it is healthy to trim your hair...thus, it will make it grow longer!  Glad she takes to Bible very literally though.... Kristen did a great job & Hailey liked her hair!  After her hair cut...she asked Kristen & I to feel her "bones," as she sticks out her arm.  "Wow! You are soooo strong!" we said.  Hailey was thrilled!
