Terrible Twos Here We Come!

Today Hayli decided to use her "no!". Now there is no doubt that she knows what it means!

Walking Down the Stairs

That's right, our sweet little baby is now walking down the stairs like a big girl! This truly is bitter sweet. I am one proud mama, but part of me wishes she still searched for my hand when going down the stairs - instead of being swatted away!

Farm and Ranch Museum (Ice Cream Day)

Today we went to the Farm and Ranch Museum. Hayli learned how to make ice cream. Her attention span wasn't quite the 20 minutes required to make the ice cream though. The ice cream sure was yummy! Hayli did finish off two whole cup fulls of the newly made ice cream! YUMMY!!!

Hayli even discovered how a cow is milked! What fun!

First Money Deposit

Hayli saved a lot of coins in her piggy bank. The piggy was beginning to get heavy, so we decided to head to the bank. First, Hayli had to get the coins counted (thank goodness the bank has a coin counting machine!). Then, we deposited the amount (over $50!) into Hayli's savings account. It was a lot of fun, and Hayli had a hand in the entire process. What a great experience!

Busy, Busy, Busy

I try to stay busy with Hayli, but today was CRAZY BUSY! First, Hayli jump started her day by watching Little Einsteins and bouncing on her horsie.

Then we went to open gym, where we met up with several of Hayli's friends.

After open gym, Hayli and I worked on the computer room. It is a major overhaul and a lot of work is involved. I hope to have the room completely finished by the end of the weekend. (I may put up some after photos... I forgot to take some before photos, but trust me it was BAD!) The next project is Hayli's room.

Working on the computer room wasn't the end of our day though. We went to Ms Jody's for our weekly ACN business meeting. It wasn't all business though, because Hayli got her toes painted for the very first time! I was so excited that she sat long enough to let Ms Jody to it! Hayli loves her new red toe nails. THANKS JODY!!!

It was a rough and long day. Thank goodness Hayli went to bed without too much fuss! I guess I wore her out today... =0)

Tucson

Today is our last day in Tucson. I really try to have Hayli eat a healthy breakfast, but today Hayli decided strawberry wafers would do just fine!

We had a lot of fun and wish we could enjoy the lazy river more!

Hayli loves to play peek-a-boo...

There is always time for some yoga. First, there was table position and then there ia downdog...

Bye-bye JW Marriott!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Friday we left with Oma and Opa to begin celebrating Daddy's birthday. We decided to go to Tucson, AZ for some fun in the sun (and some relaxation too!). We did not know that it was going to be the resort's weekend of Nickelodeon. It was nice that Hayli had some entertainment. We know it was Daddy's birthday get away, but everything always ends up being about Hayli (even when it is not planned that way). LOL

We spent Saturday enjoying the weather and the pool. Hayli enjoyed coloring her SpongeBob SquarePants shirt!

Hayli loved the lazy river and jumping in from the side... She is one brave girl!

Hayli even went down the water slide. At first she was very apprehensive, but then she decided she loved it. So much so that mommy had to take a break and let daddy do it for a while! LOL

Yoga Practice

Hayli and I are trying mommy and me yoga. We practice on and off throughout the day. Here we are getting our zen on before bed!

Our New Neighbors

Our newest neighbors are so cute! Hayli watches the mommy and daddy come and go in the mornings feeding their young... it is really neat to watch!

Happy 4th of July

Today was Hayli's second 4th of July. Last year we went to visit our cousins Tracy, Shanyn, and their little boy Xander. And although Hayli really enjoyed spending time with them and being in a kiddie pool for the first time there, Hayli did not get to see fireworks (it was too cloudy). We figured she was too young for all the excitement anyway. This year, Hayli played with sparklers and watched the fireworks!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!

Walking the Dog

Hayli enjoyed walking Tinkerbell while we had our garage sale. Or was Tinkerbell walking Hayli???

Computing...

Hayli is a little bit of Conrad and a little bit of me mixed together... and you can tell she loves computing!

Sagecrest Park

Hayli really enjoys seeing her friends at the park. She is so cranky if we miss... it is like she knows what day of the week it is. Hayli really enjoys to be outside. She insisted on shoes off today at the park. After careful examination of the ground around us, I gave in!
