The Birthday Girl!

Hailee is now 4 years old! That still seems so werid to me! I just can't believe she is getting so old.......so fun and so sad at the same time! Anyways, we had a little Birthday party for her and it was a lot of fun!
My Grandma Booth made Hailee this darling Ariel cake!

Hailee was thrilled!

Her cousin Kylie was there

Her cousin Kaiden was there!

Her friends Azure and Claire came!

Her cousin(s) Evan (Josh, Nick and Tyson) came!

Her auntie Ashely was there!

Cousin Lia came as well! They got to swim and play in the water!

Jeffry had a blast!

We had a Princess crown Pinata! Which cousin Tyson busted open with one swing!

They all decorated their own candy bags and had a blast putting the candy in them! Hailee got a ton of great presents and was in Heaven! It really was a great Birthday party and I am really glad that we did it! It was very simple and kind of thrown together but I think everyone had a great time! Thanks Janet for letting us use your home!

This last picture is of Hailee on her actual Birthday, in the Birthday outfit I bought her! My mom took us out to the Grove in Los Angeles where Hailee got to pick out a look a like American Girl Doll! She named her Makayla and she LOVES it! This is the only picture I got! Sadly, my camera died before I got more! Hailee really is loved! She is such a special girl and I feel so blessed to be her mother! I love you Hailee Rae!

Random Adventures!

So this is just a post of Random pictures that have been taken over the last month or so. The first couple are from this really cool park called Whitter Narrows Park. It is such a fun place! There are a bunch of little lakes and then some man made stream for the kids to play in...........super fun on a hot day! As you can tell the kids enjoyed themselves!

Hailee was being such a character! I swear she gets all her goofiness from her father!

These pictures are from the train at Victoria Gardens. Jeff loves it! Now everytime we go there he has to go on the train, its not too expensive so that is ok!

This Picture of Hailee was taken today on her first day of Preschool! This is her second year at preschool and she loves it! She is so funny she wanted to make sure that I was going to drop her off, she did not want me to stay with her at school! I was a little offended! But I think it's better then her crying because she doesn't want me to leave. So I guess it is a good thing, I am glad she likes it.

And last is a picture of Jeff on our friend Ethan Allred's bike! I thought it was so cute! He climbed up there all by himself and then Carol Ann put the helmet on him......as you can tell he thought he looked pretty cool! Love that boy!

More pictures!

So I took the kids to get their pictures taken at JC Penny's because Jeffry just turned 18 months. This is the only cute picture we got of them together! After about 3 or 4 shots the lady's camera broke! We waited around for 45 mins. and by the time it was fixed Jeff was just done! I was a pretty bummed!

I tried hoping in the picture to see if Jeffry would sit with me, as you could see he wouldn't even do that! But I thought this one turned out pretty cute anyway, love that girl!




And this goofy one is pretty cute too! the little stinker! Of course he was half way decent when we brought out the basketball but not good enough to get a really good shot of him.

Hailee was very cooperative, good thing because I would have gone nuts if she was a stinker too! I don't know why I always think taking pictures is going to be fun! Because it is always just stressful! O well!

Norco with Grandpa Jeff!

Even though my dad no longer is the City Manager of Norco, every once in a while we go out there to check out the animals. The kids really enjoyed themselves!

Well Jeffry really only liked them if you were standing far away from them.

And Hailee was pretty darn scared of them too!

But we still had a good time!

Love Hailee's face in this one! P.S. I think I need a new camera, these pictures are hard to see because they are so blurry! I'll just add that onto the list of things we need! It's getting pretty long and expensive!

Funny Girl!

Ok so this picture is from my little brothers wedding two months ago and has nothing to do with this post but is soooo cute so I had to put it up! I figured since I posted about my little Jeffers last time that I would do a little post about my Hailee Rae! This girl just gets cuter and cuter everyday and I cannot believe how big she is getting! I love it and hate it! I want her to stay my sweet little girl forever! But it really is such a joy to watch her grow up! Anways, on to my story.

Hailee is a very girlie girl and is basically scared of everything!! With that in mind I will share a little conversation Hailee and I had at church a few weeks ago.

We were sitting in Sacrament meeting when the speaker said something about the Holy Ghost.

• HAILEE: (with a very terrified look on her face) "Mommy I don't want to see the Holy Ghost!" (repeated several times)

• ME: (trying not to laugh) "Hailee you are not going to see the Holy Ghost, plus he is our friend and helps us choose the right." (I can tell I am not getting through to her)

• HAILEE:( drawing) "Mommy I will draw a picture of the Holy Ghost." (she draws a big blob)

• ME: ( still trying not to laugh): "Ok"

• HAILEE: (very serious) "Mommy the Holy Ghost has three eyes?"

• ME: (REALLY trying not to laugh) "No honey He has two eyes, like us."

• HAILEE: (still very serious) " I will give him three eyes."

So there you have it my three year old is TERRIFIED of the Holy Ghost!! I just hope she gets over it by the time she turns eight or we are in trouble! Got to love that girl!

BOYS!

So this is a common occurrance around the house these days........Jeffry seems to like making huge messes with things like chocolate chips, cheerios, rice crispy etc. They are really fun messes to clean up!! Put child locks on the doors you say, well for those of you who don't know we live with my parents right now because Scott opened up his own insurance agency. And my mom doesn't really want to put locks on her doors........so there you have it, this is what my days consist of! But isn't he soooooooooo cute!? it makes it ok!

What we've been up to!

I Know I am officially the WORST blogger EVER! But here are a few pictures of the kids and what they have been up to! I love the one above with Hailee's hair! Cracks me up!
Playing with cousins

Shooting hoops! ( he is obsessed!!)

Crafts and new costumes!

making messes and going to dance class!

Hailee was also a flower girl at my younger brothers wedding a couple of weeks ago and for the life of me I can not figure out how to get the pictures of her up here!! I am a little slow on computers!! When I figure it out I will put them up!

Update on the kids

My sister-in-law's sister-in-law (did you catch that?) took these really cute pictures of the kids. So I thought I would post them and catch you all up on what is going on with my crazy kids! I can't really get this thing to post the pictures the way I want just so you know!

Hailee turned three in October. She just started preschool today and had a great time! Hailee is a very girly girl! She loves all things princess and pink! She loves to have her nails painted and loves to paint anyone else nails that will let her. Hailee also attends a dance class twice a week and really likes it. Like I said she is a very girly girl! She makes us laugh everyday with her spunky goofy personality and really is a very sweet girl. Just the other day we were sitting together and she said to me: "Mommy I love you" and I said "I love you too Hailee". She then said: "Mommy..........I love you again!" It was very cute and made my day! I just hope that in ten years she will be saying the same thing!

Now On to Jeffry! Oh my wild man! He is a handful!! But I think he is sooo stinking cute, so all the choas he brings is ok! Jeffry just turned one in December, but has been walking since he was nine months old. He loves to play with any ball he can get his hands onto! He throws them all over the house. It is so funny becasue Hailee is such a girl and Jeffry is such a boy. The difference between the two is so funny! Jeffry can't say two much yet but he does say ball and mama, very cute. Scott calls him a big dumb jock! How sad huh? I always tell Jeffry he is smart though, so hopefully he listens to me! We are working on Jeffry sleeping through the night, which hopefully he will do consistenly soon! He really is just a little ball of energy but I love him and can't imagine life without him! p.s. I love his pumpkin teeth in that picture, they crack me up!

I feel so blessed to have such wonderful and beautiful children!
