budding photographer

The other day Troy and I left to go to a wedding of some friends in the ward and I get back and this is what my hubby shows me he's been doing while I was gone. I have to admit I was pretty impressed! I especially like the last one of Hailey with her big brown eyes and the dirt sticking to her runny nose!

Lazy Sunday

So this weekend we could tell that Troy wasn't feeling to good. He was fussy and would not nap despite being very tired so we took him to the after hours clinic and sure enough he had his first ear infection, only the left ear. So we got him on antibiotics. The thing that makes it a lazy Sunday is that I've missed two Sundays in a row now because of sick kiddos. I hate missing church I feel like I havn't been there in like a month. Hailey had a fever and wasn't feeling good last weekend. Hopefully Troy will get feeling better fast! It's no fun being sick. We also found out that Troy now weighs 21 lbs 11 oz. Wow. I have some cute random pictures of things we've been doing. One day we went to the park and it was warm are really sunny. The park that we went to usually has a shade cover on it but it was gone so I put a diaper on Troy's head to protect it from the sun. We got a big kick out of that. It actually worked pretty well! I also went to the grocery store with both my kids, something I'm trying to do less of (bring my kids), and Troy was being a little bit difficult until I figured out a new comfortable way for him to sit in the cart. I kept sitting him up and he kept sliding down. He stayed like that for a while so he must have been pretty comfortable!
Another cute story about Troy lately is that the other day I was making lunch in the kitchen and Hailey was helping me. She was standing on her tinkerbell chair. Troy was out of patience and wanted to be held so I was holding him. I went to check on Hailey and when I went to turn away Troy had a death grip on Hailey's hair and that pulled her off the chair. Hailey was pretty mad about it. I had a good laugh. Hailey said, "No Troy, it's not okay to pull hair!" Troy loves pulling hair!

Too tired to eat

The other day Troy fell asleep while eating. He was looking at the tv and I could tell he was spacing out, then he just crashed. I just think that it's one of the cutest things. Hailey only did this once in her high chair. I was luckily enough to find that picture of her. You know you have to be really tired to fall asleep while eating.




Here is another funny one I found of Hailey one time when we were on our way home from an errand and she just could not stay awake, even for a cookie.

Here's a random picture I took of Hailey and Troy. She often points with her middle finger and here she is showing Troy where to look... at the camera.

More pictures!

I'm not sure why but I'm only able to upload four pictures to a post it might be the setting I have or something. (If someone knows please let me know!) So here's a few more from the party!




I tried to get a picture of everyone but couldn't so the people that are missing that we enjoyed at the party are Papa Kohler, Grandma Hakes, Karl, Leslie, Kimball, Ashley, Sydney, Harmon, Anita, lilly, April, Carrie, Josh and Troy. (Hope I didn't forget anyone!)

Cute picture of daddy and Troy!

Here are Hailey's friends, I wished I would have taken a minute to get a good picture but this is about the best I have. I'm also wishing we would have pulled out hailey's little table and chairs, that would have been cute and better then eating off the floor! Oh well you always think of these things later! I still have never found the plates...it's a mystery.

Hailey really enjoyed her bounce house! She kept saying where's my bounce house. I guess it just didn't last long enough!

Party time!

We also had a birthday party for Hailey Girl! She had such a blast! She really enjoyed her birthday this year! Although I must admit that some of her friends enjoyed her persents more then her. Well it is alot to take in for one day! My grandma sally called her today to ask her about her birthday and she asked what she did or had on her birthday and she said, "Soda... a little bit everything!" I thought that was so cute! Hailey's friend Sadie super excited about Hailey's gifts. She was gasping and saying Oh my gosh. It was so amazingly cute!

Hailey blowing out the candles.

That is some air sadie!

Hailey showing off her three fingers next to her life size strawberry shortcake. She got a big kick out of that! I'm glad she liked it because it took me hours to color.

Happy Birthday Hailey!

My big girl Hailey is now three years old. Wow! Time flys! We've been practicing holding up three fingers and talking about what to say when some one asks, "How old are you?" Some of Hailey's highlights in the last year are sleeping in a crib to sleeping in a big girl bed, becoming potty trained, becoming a big sister, starting gymnastics, stopped taking naps, wants to do EVERYTHING by herself including buckle herself into her car seat which despite being pretty tough does pretty well(she will even undo something you've done so that she can do it. Example- I turn on the water she turns it back off so that she can turn it on.), says the cutest things, asks about everyone's moods often, asks "why you laugh mom?" or my favorite "why you say ha ha ha ha?" Hailey is such a sweet fun girl! We love you Hailey girl!

Troy's new trick!

On Friday I was feeling a little sad that my seven month old wasn't sitting up yet. (Even though he was a preemie.) So after he woke up from his afternoon nap just like that he was sitting up. he's been close for a while but I guess he just got it. He can sit by himself for minutes at a time! I was so excited. Troy is such a sweet baby. Here is his new trick!

Also on Sunday Hailey took a nap! This is a big deal because she never does any more. Nice to have both the kids sleep at the same time to have a few minutes to get some stuff done! I love these kiddos!
