Some pics from my phone while the computer was down...

While the computer was down Hailey learned some new things. She say's "A B C," and counts "1.. 2.. 3," she now can say "YES (while throwing both hands up in the air with real accomplishment)," she said "Mom... where'd you go?" and "Dad.. where are you?" She's turning into quite the big little girl too fast. We bought her a potty last weekend and to my surprise she's "gone" 5 times! All of which were her request... two of them during her nap time. Today She pooped on the potty for the first time. Sounds silly, but, I was excited! I am very proud of my little beauty and love having her in my life! Hailey and I spent a morning on the strip last week... She really likes the Bellagio flowers. Below is a pic of her in the Bellagio gardens.

Hailey has jumped in the pool twice now with her clothes and all!

water guns make the best toys!

Learning how to blow bubbles...

Hailey LOVES to drink from a straw!

I'm always finding new ways for us to keep cool... Hailey really liked this one!


Hailey's shoes of choice lately... Mama and Daddy's flip flops!


"Hay loves to wear our shoes"

"Mama" caught the ice cream truck and surprised everyone with yummy COLD treats. Aaron ate a Bomb-Pop, I had a Sour Apple Snow Cone, Allana had a Watermelon Snow Cone, and Hailey's was Bubblegum flavored.

I felt bad... Hailey's little face was extremely chapped in a few places the next day :( We had to make her stop eating it. She LOVED it!!!

Allana's snow cone was Watermelon... one of her favorite flavors!

Allana's snow cone got away from her :)

Allana and "Megan," Allana's friend from Primary, at Mission Hills Park splash pad. We all met there for a picnic and lots of water play. It was a great day!

Hay had just as much fun sitting and watching everyone as she did running thru the water at Mission Hills Park's splash pad. I would have taken more pics, but, I was just as soaked as the girls! We had a blast.

I took just Allana to the local Multi-Gen. She MADE me go down the waterslide, too! We had a blast.

Hay's first experience at a splash pad... she RAN and SCREAMED with complete joy the entire time! She was soaked and cried when it was time to go home.

Our monitor is finally working... here's some more pics:

The girls in the backyard on the 4th of July... Allana was teaching Hailey how to throw those "Pop-its" They had a great time.

Aaron, Connie, and Allana put this together... in the previous post you can see it in progress. We're going to frame it for Allana. She's going to hang it in her room in California.


My little 4th of July cutie:


For Allana's birthday, we had Macaroni and Cheese pizza (her favorite from Cici's). Then we watched "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. (a very good movie by the way... I didn't expect it to be that good.) "We celebrated with Popcorn, Birthday Cake, lots of love and laughter!

Allana has been dying to play Tennis for a very long time. We surprised her with this for her 10th Birthday. She's not 10 until the 16th of July, but, we won't have her this year on her birthday. So... we had an early but nice celebration.

Mmmm... chocolate cake

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, SIS!!!

Our monitor broke... Our Allana came to visit...

My girls in our HUGE pool out back :)

We got this puzzle for Allana.. had no idea just how difficult it was! Nana, Daddy, Uncle Art, and Allana have put a lot of time into it. If it gets finished before Allana goes home.. we told her we'll frame it for her. She wants to hang it up in her bedroom.

Two of my three favorite people!!! Allana and Daddy:

Our little scientist, Allana... decided to make a Volcano!
We used an old poster of mine... hence the "Molly Sorensen" on the side of the volcano:
Daddy helped Allana with her science project:


Allana painted "Pompei" on her Volcano!

The girls tootsies:

She loves the laundry basket!

We had a nice Memorial weekend together... just the 3 of us:
Brat's, Burgers, and Corn on the cob on our BBQ!

Yum Yum... Aaron makes some good "grub"

We bought Hailey her own little pool for the summer...
she loves it!
playin' with Dora and Duckie!

catching some rays in the Las Vegas sun in our backyard...

Hay enjoying her "new" swimming pool

Hailey still in the early stages of learning to walk...
such a silly little girl! She loves to carry those rings.
She even puts them on her feet and walks back and forth thinking she's hilarious!
