Millie Jean

Snack Time!
We love the Sandbox!
Sweet Millie

BryBry and Alli got to spend a few days in Boston together.  Millie is spending the weekend with her Kaki, but we get to watch her a little.  The boys were so excited to have Millie over they let her do their favorite things!  We played in the sandbox, climbed in the playhouse, colored pictures for Annie, and had a snack time.  She really loved the sand, she must get that from Haynes!  We love you Millie and can't wait to see you Sunday!  

Peas in a Pod

"Cheers!"
Sweet Beau

This week we were blessed to help the Billingsley's by watching Beau.  I'm not sure who was more blessed Mike and Abbey or Haynes!  These two boys had the best time together.  We played cars (or "trucks" as Beau says),  colored with chalk and cars, played in the sandbox, played Superman on the swings, ate pizza, and every sport imaginable!  I have some great video, but don't know how to put that on here yet.  We are super thankful for a great friend in Beau Billingsley.  These two have many fun years ahead of them!  

Haynes in small places!



I started with one picture and then realized that I have multiple pictures of Haynes in small spaces!  You never know where you are going to find him!  He definitely has been given the gift of creativity...God has great plans for you Haynes Cole!

My little helper

Monday's are usually laundry days...actually every day is laundry day now that we are a family of 5!  The boys help me by putting their pj's and undies away.  I came into the utility room this week to rotate the laundry and found all of Haynes' pj's in the washing machine!  I might have started his chores a little early, I'm not sure if he gets the difference between clean clothes and dirty clothes!  He gets an A for effort!!

I LUV DIRT!

The Dudes
Friends
Pudding Painting
Haynes and Jade
Our cute kids!

We celebrated Haynes' 2nd birthday on Saturday night.  We sent out little balls as invitations, and then realized that Brian was going to be gone.  We made some quick adjustments and moved the party to Saturday night.  All the kids wore "I LUV DIRT" shirts, even Ella and Asher.  We ate pizza, fruit, and dirt cake.  I think even though it was slightly cold, we had a great time!  We played a game remembering the fun things about Haynes over the last year, these are some of the questions...
1- What's Haynes' favorite toy?  B.B.
2- Favorite saying?  Sorry mom, what's that, where's daddy
3- Worst injury?  stitches
4- How's he pout and pray?  
We are so blessed by our Sweet Haynes!  God has great things for you and we can't wait to see how he will grow you over the next year!  We love you Haynes Cole!

RaInY DaYs!


Lolli got the boys rainboots for Easter.  There has been plenty of rain in the last few days, so we have worn them lots!  Wednesday we went to Perfect Swing after BSF to play for the afternoon.  JuJu came with us and the boys LOVED it!  They have a great indoor playground for the boys.  There were lots of puddles outside for them to enjoy as well!

Haynes and Millie

Thursday morning we got to watch Millie while Allison went to see Baby Boy Ray.  We had SO much fun!!!  Millie laughed most of the morning at Haynes, her little giggle is priceless.  She did fit in perfect with Mr. Haynes...the first thing she did was sit in a puddle in her cute jeans.  I found some of Haynes' shorts for her to wear the rest of the morning.  They loved playing with chalk, playing in the sandbox, swinging in the backyard, and snack time!  I have to admit I was super thankful Allison gave me a 10 minute warning before she picked Millie up.  I was able to get her jeans cleaned and chalk off her face!  We had a great time, thanks for letting us love on her.  (I do think I got a "SaSa" out of her by the end of the morning!)
