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!

Bye Bye Long Hair!

So, I usually wait until I'm sitting in the chair at the hair salon to decided exactly what I want to do with my hair.  I've been going to the same hair dresser for over 10years and she knows me well.  I mentioned that Hailey has been wanting me to cut my hair short for a while now...similar to when I cut it off when she was only 15months old.  She has held onto a picture of me with short hair...so.....last minute decisions, decisions.                                                    Bye Bye long hair!  Hello short hair!  Hailey was very surprised & happy when my sister brought her the the salon to see the after math!  So, she requested to go home and take pictures of us...and it wouldn't b...
