Fun Saturday

Just wanted to share some pictures from our Saturday. This morning Bryan "tried" to let me sleep in and I put tried in quotations because it just did not happen. He was very sweet to take Hailey on a walk to the park early this morning and got back at 740am and had to call me because he forgot a house key. Once I am awake..I am awake! However, it was a very sweet gesture. Then we did operation clean house, had a nice lunch and finished with a nap for all three of us. When we woke up we had plans to play outside but as you can see in the picture a very nasty storm was brewing..and VERY close to hitting us! So we hopped on the computer and saw that a cute kids movie was playing on base. So we ended up taking her to see that..during the movie the little girl did her parents make-up. What happened as soon as we got home?? Hailey pulled out all her play make-up that grandma bought her and did not only mommys but daddys make-up too. He was such a good sport..and she did his make-up a tad bit better than mine! :) Now we're off to play Monopoly..(my favorite)!!

Super Fun Day!

Today we had a really fun day!! Sometime it feels like I have three children rather than just one. It is just plain ol' exhausting! Being a daycare provider is a natural birth control : ) Since we got another car it's easier to take the kids to all the fun stuff they have going on around here! Today we went to story time and did arts and crafts. The kids made some silly glasses! Then we went to the park, had an early lunch and nap. After nap we packed up and went to a puppet show! It was so cute and the kids loved every second!!

Bryan's New Car!

The title speaks for itself. We found a really good deal on a car that Bryan has wanted for a long time and all the cards lined up so we bought it! It beautiful..and perfect for all of Bryans wants..needs! It was cute to see him all happy and excitied!

Farmer's Market!

So this past Sunday we drove 2 hours up to Raleigh, NC to go to the Farmer's Market. Hailey and I had gone before with Bryan's mom and grandma but I wanted to take him. We went to the Farmer's Market Restaurant first..they use all their food straight from the Farmer's Market. It is the freshest food! We loved it! After about an hour we finished lunch and the market. So we looked up local parks on our new gps and it pulled up a few (soo awesome!) and went to puller Park. It was the coolest park! It had train rides and boats rides and a huge merry-go-round. We rented a Peddler boat (we were allowed to use it for 30 minutes but Hailey was dont after about 20) We got up and close to ducks and fish. Hailey thought it was the coolest thing. We had a really good day! :)

Happy Birthday Isiah!

This past Saturday we went down to Havelock to celebrate our nephew Isiah turning 6 years old! Hailey loved that it was a pool party and we all had a really good time. All of the kids are growing up so fast! :(

Happy 4th of July!!

So this is a few days late but Bryan had from Thursday afternoon

until this morning off and we've been hanging out. We had a good 4th of July..we went to his mom's house, had some good ol' fashioned hamburgers and beans, homemade browines (by me), the kids played in the pool while we played cards..and ended the night with some sparklers and fireworks. Havelock is so small that we were able to sit in his parents front lawn and watch the town's firworks..with only a few tall trees blocking just a bit. They were still enjoyable! This is the first year that Hailey was actually excitied and had fun watching them. Every other year she's been so afraid that the fireworks would fall down on you and said they were too loud! I was very happy to see that she liked them so much.

Aquarium

This past Thursday Baby Emily stayed home with her daddy so I took the opprotunity to take Hailey, Trinity and Jordan to the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium. We started the day with another Story Time at a different library where they did arts and crafts afterwards. Then we ran over to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for a picnic at the Aquarium and during the hecticness with 3 kids I lost my phone. After searching for a good hour..I had to give up so we could make it to the Aquarium and home in time. We set out on our one hour drive to the Aquarium..about 15 minutes into the drive they started the "Are we there yet" routine..for the rest of the 45 minutes. However when we got there they loved it! I've never seen them so excitied for something..and although I wanted to linger, read and learn about each fish they were going from one tank to the next. We finished the entire Aquarium in about 1 hour..spending most of our time in front of the giant shark tank. Hailey loved the seahorses, but I couldn't convince any of them to touch a crab or sting-ray (in a safety tank). After we had a picnic outside of the Aquarium and began the long drive home. All in all..a very fun day..but let's thank the lucky stars that I am not a mother of three!!
