Haeli: "Mommy can we watch more 'George'?"

Me: No
Haeli: "Why?"
Me: "Cause your brain will turn to mush if we watch too much t.v."
Haeli: "Yeah and we'll turn into potato couches!"

Haeli's b-day weekend!

Our sweet girl is 4 years old! I can hardly believe it!  She is the more calm one in the family, so attention doesn't usually come her way. I was excited to see her feel special!

Her original birthday!

On Saturday, she brought 3 friends with her to Jumping Jacks (they have blow up slides and jumping things) then back to our home for cupcakes and presents.

opening some presents from her little friends.

I had a good time making these little cupcakes.

Later on, we went as a family to Chuck E. Cheese for pizza and games

Loving the big car

She wanted a doggy cake. It was fun to make the little dog and paw prints!

Me and my sweetie

Happy Birthday sweet girl!  We love you so much and we're so happy you're part of our family!  Hope you had a great and special day!

Haeli ballerina

Haeli has been begging to start dance class like her sister. So we gave in the beginning of this month and she is loving it! She is really quite good! She follows the teacher really well and is having a ball!

I sure love this girl!

I had to add this one cause she's just so darn cute!

Haeli: Then who gets to be the daddy?

At scripture time last night, Kevin was telling the story of Joseph being sold into Egypt. Here's the conversation below
Kevin: So Joseph was sold to become a slave
He then explains what a slave is.
Kevin: We don't have slaves anymore
Haeli: Oh! We should buy one daddy!

Priceless

Back to School

So this week was the first week of school for both girls. Maili is so ready for Kindergarten but misses the deadline by just a month. So she is in her 2nd year of formal preschool.  When I took Haeli, I knew she was a bit apprehensive, as was I.  I've been wondering if it's too early to send her to school...she seems so much younger.....I guess she is, since Maili is kind of a year behind that way.  I felt a little tear in my heart as I left her there.  When I went to pick her up, she was all smiles and had a GREAT time!  She's ready to go back!

This is already old hat for Maili

Haeli loves her backpack!

Here are the two princesses getting ready to feast on our 2nd annual back-to-school dinner.

Setting: In the car on the way home....Haeli is about to nod off

and I don't want her to.

Me: "Hold on sweetheart we're almost there. Just hold on."

Maybe 20 seconds later

Haeli:"Mommy"

Me: Turning around "What sweetie"

Haeli: Clenching fists really tightly "I'm holding on mommy"

Too cute!
