Hadyn helping Mom

Hadyn has developed a little OCD in the last week or two. Her favorite thing to do is take all of the shoes out of the shoe bin, then put them all back in. She gets really upset if she can't fit them all back in.

She decided to do the same thing with the clothes basket tonight. She had a few pieces of clothes that she kept taking out and putting back in for about an hour. Then I came out with a completely full basket and her eyes lit up like it was Christmas. The basket started out completely full and she handed each piece to me. This is the video of what happened as the basket got close to empty.

Kalahari Water Park

Bebe and John came out last weekend. We had planned to go on a little vacation when they got here, Becky saw Kalahari on the news in Utah (its the largest indoor water park) so we thought it would be fun. We had such a great weekend the first day we were there John rented us all a Cabana it was so great to have a TV and fridge and nice chairs. Thanks John and Becky!!! The kids had so much fun so did the grown ups, they had a lot of fun water slides the kids loved the blue mat one that you would race each other. There was also a toilet bowl one that the adults loved. Hadyn went on her first waterslide and loved it, she would smile so big each time they were done. Stockton loved when John would launch him in the wave pool, Sydney loved it everywhere she just loves being in the water. Sami loved the water and the little slides, she would go down the slides with Bebe and plug her nose before they would get to the bottom. Bebe and John we are so glad you came to see us, we love you so much, thanks for such a great weekend!!

The Birthday Girls

 

 

 

 

Just a few pictures of Hadyn making a mess. More of Syd and the party soon, I took 218 pictures so it takes awhile to choose which to post.

Hadyn went to the doctor today. At 6 months she was in the 90th percentile in weight and height. Now she is 70th in height and 20th in weight. If she would ever stop racing around maybe she wouldn't be so skinny.

7 has really done something for Syd

So everyone that knows Syd knows that she has hated her hair to be brushed no matter what. Well lets just say all of her seven years she has cried every time I have brushed it. Well today she washed her hair and I let it air dry for awhile and then I told her I needed to brush it and I even got the hard brush as she calls it. I started brushing and then she said "oh mom that feels good." I just about died. I brushed it for about five minutes just because she loved it. Today is a great day for me!!!

Sami going to dance

 

 

 

The pictures tell you the story, Sami wasn't too happy about going to her first dance class.

Labor Day at the ZOO

Today we thought we would try to do something fun with the kids. The zoo is always a fun place to go, they added a water park and rides. So we let the kids ride some they really loved the log ride, and it was great that we all got wet cause it was really hot. Sydney went with dad and she was a little scared but really liked it once it was over. Then Stockton and I went on it he loved every minute of it and kept asking me if I was scared. Sami got to ride on the tea cups because she was not tall enough, so tonight at dinner she asked for more green beans so she can ride on the log ride next year. Hadyn watched from the stroller and never cried a bit. She is such an easy baby to take anywhere.
