Princess Party

Today Haley went to her first princess party and she absolutely loved it! Here are some pictures of her enjoying the party.

Dinosaurs!

Today we took advantage of some beautiful weather and went to the Heard Wildlife Museum to see their dinosaur exhibit. They had robotic dinosaurs that made noise and moved around. Kyle loved it! Haley spent most of the time hiding behind my legs, but she has been talking about it ever since.

It's going to eat me!

They had a fun play area where the kids could climb on some smaller, less scary dinosaurs. Haley enjoyed this part probably because it involved climbing!

Baby News!

Yes, it's true! Jared and I are excited to announce that I am now 10 weeks pregnant with baby #3! We are due in mid-August. I don't think the kids really understand what is going on, but here are some funny things they have said about it.

Me: "What do you want to name the baby?"
Haley: "Baby Micah!" (This is their cousin's name)
Kyle: "I'll have to wait 'till the baby comes out to see it's name."

Me: "Would you like a brother or sister?"
Kyle: "I think I want a brother because I don't have one of those yet. I think God already chose a brother."

I haven't felt great the last few weeks, but definitely not as sick as I was the first two times. I think God knows I can only handle so much! My energy level has been really low and the kids wear me out most days. But they are supposed to do that, right?

Kyle and Haley

I know it has been a little while since some of you have seen our kids, so I wanted to give you a little update on what they like to do. I was hoping to post this on their birthdays, but that never happened. And here we are, 2 months later. Oh well.

Kyle turned 4 at the end of November and continues to be our laid-back child. He loves riding the Lightning McQueen bike that he got for his birthday. He has gotten so fast that we are having trouble keeping up with him! He still loves to play outside any chance he gets. He is so friendly and outgoing and always makes a new friend wherever he goes. He is just starting to get into board games and would play all day if we had the patience! He loves to play pirates, swords and anything that has to do with racing cars. He is ALL boy. He is really excited about playing T-ball this spring and loves the new glove and ball that his daddy bought for him. It is fun to see his personality really develop. He has such a sweet spirit and loves to be around people.

Haley turned 2 at the beginning of December and continues to be our strong-willed child! Not a surprise to most of you! She tests the limits and my sanity almost every day. On the other hand, she has a sparkling personality and can charm anyone with her smile. Like Kyle, she is very social and loves to go play with her friends. Her favorite toys right now are her baby dolls and her My Little Ponies. She is such a girly-girl! She is always carrying a purse around with various toys in it and is always giving her baby a bottle. She really enjoys playing dress-up with her friend, Madison. I would have to say that she is our trouble-maker - but always cute in the process! She keeps me on my toes by constantly getting into things around the house. She is still our little monkey that climbs everything and we are hoping to get her into a tumbling class this spring. She is talking a LOT (I wonder where she got that from?) and has an opinion about everything. Our house is usually chaotic, but we are having so much fun with Kyle and Haley!
