Picture day and the Park








Hailey had picture day at school on October 19th. We realized after the pictures were taken that she was due for a haircut. So now she is sporting a really cute bob haircut but since she has been sick we don't have any pictures to post yet. I am sure that we will have a ton from this weekend so stay tuned. 

We also took the girls to the park to have a play-date with some friends last week before she got sick. Here are some cute  pictures of the girls.

Carving pumpkins and the fair


Hailey and Mackenzie spent the weekend at mimi and popi's a few weekends ago. While they were there they went to the Dixie classic fair and carved some pumpkins. Hailey couldn't wait to carve a pumpkin and thought she wanted to help take out all the stuff from inside the pumpkin. Well as soon as she saw what was inside the pumpkin she changed her mind. Instead she got a spoon and helped pat down the "guts of the pumpkin" in the trash bag. She liked helping popi draw on the pumpkin and telling him what shapes to carve for the faces. Mackenzie decided she wanted to help and grabbed the pumpkin and started jabbering to it and turning it around. It was a really cute thing to watch. We put the pumpkins on the "stage with Hailey and she had fun dressing up and singing on stage with her pumpkins. We also made s'mores in the fire place but Hailey doesn't like chocolate and wouldn't even try the marshmallow so I unfortunately had to eat them for her. 
The girls had fun at the fair, Mackenzie liked looking at all the lights and  seeing the animals. Hailey had a blast riding the kiddy rides and going to see all the livestock that was there. I guess they wore Mackenzie out since she fell asleep in her stroller right in the middle of all the chaos and noise around her. Hailey has the flu right now but she seems to get a little better everyday and we have managed to keep everyone else healthy so far. I am hoping that she will be all better by Saturday to enjoy a little trick or treating. Happy Halloween everyone!

Sunset Beach















We went to Sunset beach a few weeks ago. It was a nice and much needed break from a very hard few weeks. Usually when we go it takes Hailey about 3 days to get used to the sand, but not this time she was loving every inch of the beach. She ran right to the water and wanted to jump  in the waves and she was even dumping sand all over herself, it was really funny to watch. Mackenzie loved the beach as well. She would just sit and splash in the tide pool all day and if she fell over and got sand in her face she didn't care at all. It is going to be so much fun when they can both run and play together. For those of you who don't know Hailey loves to walk on her tip toes, sometimes she will actually walk on top of her toes (ouch). Well we finally got a picture of her walking on her toes, I guess we should try and sign her up for dance classes. 

Mark, Kat and Riley flew in late Thursday and stayed the weekend. Mark was in a wedding that weekend so we got to have fun watching Riley play on the beach as well. He and Hailey had a good time playing together and pulling wagons up and down the beach together. We decided that since all the kids were going to be together we would put them in their Halloween costumes and take their picture. They were so cute and were excited to get dressed up, I just hope Hailey is equally excited on Halloween. 
We took Hailey one night to play miniature golf. She didn't really play but she had fun rolling her ball around and then placing it by the hole and hitting it in with her club.
