Cozy Creek Field Trip

Hailey's preschool class takes a field trip every other Thursday.  This week they went to a ranch.  They rode horses, saw an emu and collected their feathers, did an art project, petted goats, and many other things.  

Hailey's favorite part of the day was scooping a fish out of a bucket, naming it, and then releasing it into their pond at the ranch!  She named hers Hailey!  

Easter Outfits

Happy Easter!

My Mom bought the kids these adorable outfits!  Just had to show them off!

My Funny Kids

Tonight I was sitting in Jack's bed, as he drifted off to sleep.   I love the rare chance to watch him fall asleep!  I barely moved, and he jumped and yelled, "Airplane!" Then he quickly fell back to sleep.  

This morning Hailey randomly told Nick, "I going to go to the same school as you Dad, because my husband doesn't know where he's going to  work."

Nick asked, "Who is your husband?"

Hailey replied, "Jacob (a cute little boy at school).  I just want a guy who smells good and is good to me!"

Sorry no pictures!  I have been having problems with my computer, and am waiting for Nick to wipe it out and reinstall everything (including the new iphoto.  Yaaah!).   

After much complaint...

 I've finally spent the time to figure out some blogging things.  Now you can actually read our blog.  

"Yaah," for some (mostly family)! 

"I waited for that!" from others. 

Holiday Music

Hailey is like an MP3 player.  She is constantly singing Christmas music.  While grocery shopping she was singing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas."   Her version goes like this: "Have a holly jolly Christmas, (blah, blah, blah) please have snow and mistletoe, and a cup of beer!"  I smiled the first couple times, but just couldn't contain myself, as I realized that is how she's memorized the song!   

Funny Things Hailey Says

Hailey's monthly school newsletter always includes cute things that each child says.  Here's a conversation from it.

Hailey: My Mom calls me alligator.

Gilford: Alligator?  Alligator is a green big animal with many teeth, he lives in the water and you don't want to be called an alligator.  Tell your mom to change it.

H: Oh! Okay!

G: My dad is very silly, he always does silly things at home with us.  My mom is only silly sometimes, not all the time.

H:  My Dad is fun!

I'm glad the reporter ended it there. Who knows what else she could have said?  At least she didn't say that I was no fun!  And for the record, I have never called her alligator.  What else does she make up about us?

Hailey was talking about these two funny boys from her class.  I mentioned that they were twins.  I asked if she knew what this meant.  She replied, "Yah, they got out at the same time"

Family Photos

Her are our recently taken family pictures.  It's always so hard to choose one out of 25 pictures.
