Week of April 30th, 2012

Wow I cannot believe tomorrow is May 1st already! Time is just flying by, I wish the summer would fly by already, I am not liking this heat, and it's only going to get hotter! Although it's going to be fun swimming with the girls this summer, I am already looking forward to fall weather. Monday we went over to Nana & Papa's house before Hailey's dance class. The girls had have so much fun over there. Hailey loves playing, and Addy loves following Aunt Katie around EVERYWHERE! She LOVES her Aunt Katie. The rest of the day we hung out at home. We took Addy swimming in the big pool for the first time this summer. It was freezing at first, but she didn't care at all. She had a blast! She was laughing the whole time, and trying to get me to let her go the whole time. I'm going to start calling her Miss. Independent, she wants to do everything by herself and will throw a MAJOR fit if you try to help her. Silly girl! The evening ended with dinner and ice cream...MMMMMMM. Tuesday I wasn't feeling great because of a sinus infection so we just hung around the house. The girls were bored silly! That night I cut Jaren's hair for the first time with the clippers. We were laughing so hard. Jaren was TERRIFED, which made me laugh even more. But...he said he liked his haircut better then the ones he gets at the barber...GO ME! Wednesday us girls headed for the park for awhile, then went to Chic Fila for lunch. Lunch was great, but then we went and played in the play area. Hailey took Addy up a place in the jungle gym that she was WAY too little for. Once she got to the top, she FREAKED out. Hailey couldn't get her to go through a tunnel to get to the slide to come back down. Then there was a little boy who was pulling on Addy, while she was screaming her head off, trying to get her to go through the tunnel. Hailey was terrified and told him through tears "she's my sissy, and I will take care of her". It was so sad, but cute. I had to end up crawling up, in an area marked three and under, to get them. Ughhh....we left after that. The evening ended with gymnastics and playing outside. Thursday we left for Pindale so Jim and Jaren could add porch railing to the cement porch. They worked hard for two days straight. The porch looks awesome, and I am AMAZED that they are so handy and can just put something like that together. Lois & Cleiburn came up too, and the girls and I just hung out and did some visiting. Hailey had fun collecting caterpillars. She found four and named them Mary, Maryn, Zoey and Casey! She's so cute! She tried catching a lizard but didn't have any luck. I can't believe I have a little girl that LOVES bugs! Lois and the girls and I drove into Taylor to see her Dad's old wagon that is set up in someone's front yard. It was so neat seeing it. All in all we had a fun trip, other then Addy waking up at 5AM two of the days! Sunday we got up early and cleaned up and drove home. It was a fun weekend.
