All ready to check out what the lake is all about.

Testing out the sand. Seeing what is feels like!

Showing usall the cool toys Wendy gave her to play with!

Playing in the sand is all she wanted to do. She kept telling Wendy she wanted to DIG!

SO Excited!

We took a fun picnic lunch to the park/lake. The after the kids played in teh sand and water we let them throw their frisbees around. Hailey and Awsumb were pretty good at throwing them. It was fun to watch them chase after their frisbees!

Tonight we are going to go swimming. I guess you'd say our day is full of Water!

Sleeping!

In the middle of the night last night Wendy was calling my name. This is how we found Hailey. So cute! She was actully laying on her tummy facing the bottom of the bed minuetes before. We walked out of the room to come back and find this. It was super cute! And as you can see she was super tired and worn out from all the fuN!

Seattle Day 2

Hailey and Awsumb woke me up super early today. It was fun to listen to them talk and see Hailey so excited to have a friend to play with. The kids have been getting a long great and Awsumb is a big sweet helper to Hailey. We decided to head to the mall today. Wendy bought everyone a yummy cupcake from New York Cupcake. Hailey loved it. Then we decided to take the kids to Build A Bear. When Hailey was a brand new baby and Wendy and Awsumb came to visit the kids each got a bear so we thought it would be fun to have them do it again. Hailey named her bear Patches and Awsumb got a back to school Dinosaur named Trigor! HEre are some pictures of them making their bears!

Picking out there animals to make!

Bathing their new stuffed animals.

Dressing them in super cute clothes!

The Bears all clean!

Hailey hugging her new patches. She loves it and was so happy to get it!

Seattle Day 1

We finally made it to Wendy's house and showed Hailey all around. We ended up in Awsumbs cool room. Hailey thought all the toys were so much fun and enjoyed reading books with Awsumb. After that we decided to let the kids play out side on the slip n slide. Hailey was freaked out by it but enjoyed hitting the balls down it with the bat. IT was super fun!

Reading with Awsumb

Halloween Costume Sneak Peak!

We are so excited for Hailey's costume so we are sharing a small sneak peak. It isn't the best but you can now look forward to seeing the way better version!

Park City, Utah

SO our family has had so much going on and this past week has been especially hard. So therefore I declared that we needed to spend the day as a family out doing something fun. We decided to head up to Park City. it was a great day to be in the mountains. We got to go on the alpine slide which was a blast, eat lunch at the most expensive place ever that was no good....lol...(it's a whole story in itself) Then we let Hailey do some of the rides. After which we decided to go check out the Olympic Park since we've never actually driven up to see it. We were amazed at how much was really up there. It was neat and interesting. We also go to watch some of the training of skiiers where they jump into the pool. That was so fun. All in all we had a great day together and it was just waht we needed. Enjoy our pictures!

Going on the ski lift to get to the slide...Hailey though this was the alpine slide at first!
