So tired.

Alyssa fell asleep in her high chair a few weeks ago.
Poor little thing!
Doesn't she have a Mommy to put her in her crib when she's tired?

Hailey's Birthday Party

Hailey turned 4!
She is such a big girl!
This is her in the Princess Tiana dress that I made her.
You can see the frog on the wall behind her,
we played kiss the frog.
All the girls loved it.
Who do you think Hailey looks up to?
I just love this picture!

We made candy necklaces at Hailey's party.

The cupcakes were a big hit.

I can't believe my little monkey is 4 years old. She is such a big girl in so many ways. I better enjoy my time with her while I can. Before I know it she will be off to pre school, then Kindergarten. I love you Hailey.

Blogger's Rut

So as you have probably noticed,
I have not been into blogging lately.
I have really tried to make the time but haven't found it.
So...
here are some things that we are doing.

Anthony has about 5 weeks left of school!
He is really dreading the next month and really wishes he could blink his eyes and have it done with.
We are hoping to move back to St. George when he graduates. (May 8th @ 2:00!)
And no,...
there are NO job prospects.
And yes,...
we're still moving.
When I tell people this they look at me like I'm crazy but we just really love St. George.
Logan no longer holds any thing for us so it is time to move on...
Plus, we REALLY need the change of weather.

I am most likely going to be starting my second semester of college,
back at great ol' Dixie.
I really want a house someday and know that I will have to be bringing in some extra income to afford the one we have in mind.
This alone has really given me the inspiration I needed to go ahead and just do it.
If I thought that I could stay at home the rest of my days and still have 'my house',
I would do just that.

Ashlynn is still loving kindergarten.
She is now enrolled in speech therapy because she has a hard time saying her S's, Z's and TH's.
She thinks it's really fun and for that I am grateful.
I am glad that she is still young enough not to be embarrassed by it.
She is reading most of her sight words and loves to makeup words of her own.
She will write down a bunch of letters and ask me what it spells, which it usually doesn't spell anything but I'm glad she's trying!
She loves to help me around the house as long as we make a game of it.
If she thinks I'm just trying to make her do chores, she gets pretty unwilling but is still young enough to be 'tricked'!

Hailey is still as head strong as ever.
She is little miss no.
She doesn't like to do anything I ask her to do and when I think she's actually helping clean up for the night I can go in their room and find her sitting on the bed telling Ashlynn where to put things.
I think someday she could be the CEO of a major company!
She is really excited to start pre school this next year.
I think she is getting really tired of staying at home while Ashlynn is at school.
Especially now that Alyssa's nap time is during that time.
Where we used to go do something fun together,
she now has to have 'quiet time' so Alyssa can sleep.
It's extremely bad right now because the weather still won't permit us to play outside yet.

Alyssa is running around the house.
She is learning the fine art of eating with a fork and loves to dance and sing.
She is such a happy smiley girl.
Some of her favorite things are:
eating.
drinking chocolate milk.
teasing her sisters.
snuggles with her b-b. (blanket)
putting her shoes on.
taking her shoes off.
going on car rides.
coloring on books and walls.
when daddy comes home.
and tubby time.
She is growing up so fast.
She is already saying many words and knows exactly what we are saying to her.
She thinks she is so funny,
if you ask her,
"Do you love Mommy?"
she shakes her head and says,
"Uh...uh"
and then she'll smile and giggle at you.

All in all, we are pretty lucky in life right now.
We couldn't ask for much more...
except to move to St. George!

Hailey: Birth - 4

This is my sweet little monkey.
We nick named her monkey because she had such a furry back.
Luckily, it's not there any more, but the nick name still sticks!

3 weeks

This is Hailey at 14 months.
Still our little monkey!
She has always been such a sweet and spunky little thing!

Her she is at 2!

And 3!

And her she is now!

My little 4 years old.

She is still the sweet and spunky little monkey that she's has always been.

Although she acts more like 14,

rather than 4...

Haily Ann, I love you. You bring so much sunshine and laughter into our little family. I love your smile, it's infectious. I love your grammar. I never know what's going to come out of your mouth. You speak better than most adults I know. You are so funny. You make me laugh all the time. Sometimes I'll be laying in bed at night and I'll start laughing because of something you've said. You are so fun to be around. You always want to do something fun and you have the best imagination. I hope you know how much we all adore you! Love you always and forever, no matter what, Mommy.

Hailey's 4!
