Birthday Beauty!!

Almost Three and a Party!

My little Haylie is going to be three tomorrow! Can you believe it? I know people say it all the time, but it really does feel as though we just brought her home from the hospital!

We had a party with some friends today. It was a short guest list. Lisa, and her beautiful girls came over along with Mara and handsome Landon! We had creamies, blew bubbles, played in the sand and chatted. It was the perfect simple party for my little girl!

Here is the whole crew.

Tayson and Cheyenne

Haylie was so excited to get new skates from Mara and Landon. I think she may sleep with them!!! Thanks again, guys!

Here is a picture of Mara, Landon and Haylie! How cute are they?

After the party we had a quick lunch, nap and then it was off to the movies! Haylie hasn't been to a movie since she was a tiny baby, due to some unruly behavior in the past! :0) We thought we'd try it again, since she is sooo big and a whopping three years old now! We went and saw Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It was so cute, and Haylie loved it! Tayson said it was his favorite Ice Age so far!

We had a wonderful "pre-birthday" day for Haylie. Now...here's hoping tomorrow, her actual birthday, will be as memorable!

An Update.....Finally!

Well, it has been forever since I have posted! Crazy!

We have moved to our new 3 bedroom apartment. It is so nice to have the kids in their own rooms, and actually have enough room to breath again! I am not so sure I like this neighborhood as much, but we'll only be here a year, so we'll survive!

Mother's Day was wonderful! Shaun got me a beautiful clock that I wanted. He also made me breakfast in bed and let me sleep in...divine! It just so happened that our 7 year wedding anniversary fell on that day too. We spent the day playing at the park and relaxing....very nice!

Father's Day has passed too! We got Shaun a CD, and a book that he had been eyeing. We hope he had a wonderful day!

Tayson has promoted from a orange belt to a purple belt in Karate. This means he moves up to the next class and also starts sparring! Very exciting stuff for my little man!!

Haylie's big news is.....drum roll please.....she is the proud new wearer of PANTIES!!! Yes, we finally did it, my friends! We got that girl to sit on the pot! We are still working on nap time and nighttime, but she is doing GREAT!!

So, that is our family update. We are doing great and enjoying summer so far! Maybe if I posted more often I would be able to include more details! I'll work on that...
