The Cleaning Coles

Dilan wanted to earn a few extra dollars and asked me if he could mop all the floors, vacuum and dust his room for $5. I jumped on that one. Haylee helped by dusting and vacuuming her room so she got $2. Addie helped out a bit too. It was really sweet of them to want to help that much. They did such a nice job.

H&H

Haylee and Henry! When Henry sees pictures of Haylee he says," look, it's my geerlfwend" and Haylee always says, "that's me Henry!" They are so cute together. They even get embarrassed when they think you are watching them together. These pictures were taken at Makutu's Island but I felt they needed there own entry. H&H met in Mrs. Eager's preschool class and the rest is history. Aren't they so cute together?

So we went to Makutu's Island AGAIN! The kids just love that place and this time we had free passes because it is not cheap to take three kids there. We met up with Katy and her three: Blake, Evan & Kendall, Joanna and her four: Samuel, Logan, Henry & Conner and Erin and her three: Hayden, Chloe and Ellie. The kids all had a great time. Addie decided fear was not a factor for her and I saw her the least out of my three. It was a bit scary. Haylee got to spend some much needed time with her boyfriend Henry and Dilan had a lot of BOY time. It was a great day!

A Day With Na

Haylee got to spend today with Na.  The started at Wal-Mart and shopped for new earrings. Haylee picked out pink hearts and gold Tinkerbell's along with a pack of bubble gum.  Next, they went to Paradise Bakery for a yummy lunch.  To top the day off, Na treated Haylee to a Mini Mani and a Mini Pedi at Sweet N Sassy.  Apparently Haylee struck up quite the conversation with her manicurist Michelle and she knew exactly what to do.  She even told Na to go wait somewhere else while she was being pampered.  When she came she was covered in sparkles and sound asleep in the car :)

Haylee's Last Swim Lesson

Yesterday was Haylee's last swim lesson.  She put all she had into it.  She swam further than she has ever before and we are so proud of her.  Way to go Haylee!

I love Creamy!

Man does Addie love creamy (ice cream)!  She had an ice cream sandwich and licked up every last drop.

Dilan & His Friends

Mykela, Tony, Phoenix, Taylor, Nora & Dilan!

Dilan was at a birthday party on Saturday and here are a few  shots of him and his friends from school.

A bug? Or something else?

We were all eating dinner the other night and Addie starts yelling out, "a bug, a bug!"  So I tell Andre to check out the situation because he had already gotten up to get something.  He says, "Michelle, it's not a bug!"  Of course I went to check it out.  And what do you know, it's a piece of poop next to Addie's chair.  When Andre picked her up to put her in her seat her diaper was so full that a piece fell out onto the floor :)

Haylee's ALMOST Swimming

The start of swim lessons brought so many tears because poor Miss Beans was so terrified of going into the water.  Now she is absolutely loving it.  She has come so far.  She can now jump in and swim about three feet.  Her swim teacher Jennifer has been amazing with her.  We will be so sad to see her move to Florida on Friday.  She has helped Haylee get over her fear of the swimming pool, thanks Jen!

Today we went to Makutu's Island in Chandler.  It is about a 45 minute drive but worth every minute.  The kids had a blast.  They ran like crazy monkeys for 4 hours.  Katy and I even took Addie and Kendall up in the tree house for some very small space crawling and climbing.  I had sweat dripping off of me, it was quite the workout.

My Vinyl Polka Dots

to Addisen & Haylee's 2nd and 4th Birthdays!

Today we had a party to celebrate the girls birthdays.  It was a Polka Dot theme (Thanks Katy)! My Cricut was in overdrive cutting out polka dot after polka dot.  I even got crazy and did vinyls above our shutters.  It was so much fun though.  Haylee kept on telling me that she loved it and I was the best and how everything was so perfect.  It made all the hours spent very worth it.  I hope your day was fun girls!  We got to see family and friends that were so gracious with all their gifts. The girls loved everything.
