Rootbeer Floats?

Hailey and Ryan came up with a new way to drink their shakes at lunch today. They would drink their rootbeer and their shake at the same time. Hailey didn't drink all of her milk shake so I thought I would take a little sip of it. To my surprise it tasted like rootbeer:{. That is the last time I share a drink with a kid.

Hailey's Five Years Well-Check

Today Hailey had her yearly wellness check-up. She is growing up so quickly. She has gained 4 1/2 pounds and grown 2 inches taller since her wellness check-up last year. The Nurse Practioner had all kinds of questions for Hailey to answer. They were mainly dealing with safety. I couldn't believe how well she answered. She knew what to do in case of fire, medical emergancy, and how to deal with stangers. I guess that private pre-school is paying off:). The NP also asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up. Hailey replied, " a scientist.". The NP then asked "what kind of scientist". Hailey said, "one that watches things grow and know about sea animals". I don't know if Hailey has ever given me a reply to that question before. I was so surprised at how intelligently she answered the question, but at the same time, I was not surprised at all. Anyone who knows Hailey knows that she LOVES mermaids and everything to do with the ocean! She decided that at the ripe age of 1 and has never changed her mind. I came out of the doctor's office thinking that I can't believe she has already developed so much personality at the age of five! Of course, I know that she is likely to change her mind, but just the fact that she has decided all of this by her self and with such confidence really impressed me. I don't think I ever thought that much about any one thing when I was her age. You are such a special little girl Hailey. Mommy and Daddy love you!

Happy 5th Birthday Hailey!

This past Saturday was HAILEY'S 5TH BIRTHDAY! I can't believe that my little baby girl is five years old. She is growing up so fast:( She had a great party. We had a big waterslide in the back yard. I am pretty sure that all of the kids liked it because they all went down that thing hundreds of times. Hailey was so excited to have all of her friends over for her special day. On the day after the party she walked into the room and said, "Thanks Mom and Dad for my party. It was the greatest party ever!" That's what I was hoping for. Last year I was not able to have Hailey's party due to my Dad's health. She had a party at the office given to her by some of the sweet ladies that work for the company. So this year I told her that we would do what ever she wanted for her Birthday. Here are some pics.

Why?

Why do kids always put sunglasses on upside down? This is Ty after enjoying his chocolate mint from Olive Garden.

Little Cousins

This is what happens when the older kids are in school. The little ones take over the toys! This video makes me miss my little sweeties Jack and Callie:(

Springtime Fun!

These are just a few picture we have taken this spring. In the first one Ty is helping his Daddy do some landscaping at Goo goo's new house. In the second pic the kids wanted to pose with Goo goo's flowers. They are so silly! And the third and fourth picture are just some pictures we took at church since we were all dressed up. We have been very busy lately. We have been trying to get things crossed off of our To Do List. We have are flower beds planted and Todd put shelves up in the garage! Both of those things were really needed and a big improvement. I have also gone through Hailey and Tyler's closets and weeded out the outgrown clothing. This weekend we are going to paint Goo goo's pool house and work on getting the pool ready for swimming. We still have a long list with our house, Goo goo's house, and the ranch. However, it does feel good to get some things crossed off. Hailey will be performing in "The Wizard Of Oz" next week with her Theater Club. She will play the parts of a munchkin and a yellow poppy. I can't wait! Tyler has been enjoying his Easter candy and hangin out with Sam. Sam has a new name for me. It is Mama Toot-toot. He is so much fun. Sam is always good for a laugh!
