Long one, sorry


















I know it has been a while since our last posting but we have been really busy. Plus our camera broke so we are borrowing one till we can either get ours fixed or get a new one. Since the last blog we have celebrated my 30th (yikes) birthday, had Mackenzie's 4 month check up, Hailey's last day of school and went to Savannah. 

Hailey's last day of school was on my birthday and they had an aloha picnic. Brian and I got to go and have a picnic lunch with her and all her friends. She had a blast running around with all her friends. We are going to put her in summer school for a few weeks starting in June. Mimi and Popi and Gammy and Papa game that night to help celebrate my birthday with cupcakes. Hailey only wanted to eat the bottom of the cupcakes and everyone else had to make the sacrifice of eating the top with all the icing.  I got a nice bottle of wine, the label is Mommies time out. I also got a wii and a wii fit. I am hoping between that and the Y I can finally get all this baby weight off and hopefully a few other pounds that I picked up here and there (ha ha). 


Savannah was a lot of fun. We all left on Friday morning Brian and his parents left really early so they could make it to Savannah for their tee time. I left with my parents and the girls a little after 9 and got there a little before 3.  Uncle Nick Aunt Lisa and the girls (who turned 21) arrived right around 3. We went across the river and let the fun begin. Brian and I discovered that night that it is harder keeping up with 21 year olds than we thought. Lets just say we were moving a little slow the next morning. It rained on and off everyday but we were able to get in everything we wanted to do. One day that it rained most of the morning we went to the mall to the Bass Pro Shop. Hailey spent the whole time at the fish tank looking at all the big fish. Her favorite part of Savannah was riding the ferry boat across the river and the free trolly that went up and down River Street. We did manage to go to the pool one morning before the rain started but the water was freezing. Hailey really wanted to get in the pool so we tried to tough it out. But even she got cold and just wanted to ride on the mat, she was still cold but didn't want to get out of the pool. We ended up having to put a towel over her while she laid on the mat and Brian pulled her around the pool (does that sound like a princess or what). 
Mackenzie had a good 4 month check up. She is only 11 lbs and 6 oz so we have to try and get her to gain more weight. The Dr. isn't worried though since Hailey has always been small also. She is doing good with her head control and sleeping. She is trying to roll over from her back to her tummy. She loves to smile and is just so sweet and always in a good mood. She didn't like traveling in the car, which is going to be a problem since it seems like we are always in the car these days. 
Well I guess that is about it. Hopefully I can get some good pictures of Hailey at the pool soon to blog about. She loves the water so we will probably be at the pool a lot this summer. We are having a really hard time with the potty training so I would appreciate any advice if you have any.

LOVE the pictures! They girls have gotten so big. You look like you are doing great with two. Is Hailey doing the South Brook camp? I signed my girls up for the 1st session. Potty Training, with the girls I had to completely take the diapers away, except at night. I got the underwear with a little padding in them. I never did the pull-ups b/c I heard they don't "feel" wet and they have to be uncomfortable and soon they will choose to use the potty instead of not. Beware, you will have plenty of puddles but it only took my girls a week or so of accidents and they were trained. Hope that helps a little. Good Luck!
