Our Little Fish!

Yesterday was our first day in the pool. Hailey could hardly wait and Ali thought it was great. She started kicking before we even got in the water. Hailey jumped right in and started swimming around. It's going to be a great summer for everyone.

Hailey's Preschool Graduation

On May 28th, Hailey officially graduated from Preschool. It was a bitter sweet day. Kirt and I are so proud of all her accomplishments, but it's so hard to see her growing up so fast. The kids sang some songs and were presented with certificates. It was a great day for everyone. Hard to believe she is going to move to kindergarten....she's already asking when summer will be over so she can go to her new school.

Growing Everyday

Yesterday we took the girls to get pictures. Ali is 9 months old today and just amazing every minute. Hailey is showing off her dance moves in her recital outfit. It's just so wonderful how blessed Kirt and I are with these two beautiful, healthy and loving little girls. Time is just going by so fast that we want to capture every second. If you check out the extra photo area, I've added all the pictures from the session!

Our Spring Addition

No.....I'm not having another baby, but we did adopt five baby bunnies for a few weeks. Thankfully Kirt discovered the babies before he mowed the lawn. Sebastian didn't even bother with the nest that the brave mother bunny left right near the girls swing set. So, on Mother's Day weekend they were finally big enough for us to take some pictures. Hailey is disappointed that they have moved on, but she did get to hold and pet one before it hopped off.

Crawling, Sitting, and now Climbing

Ali has started pulling herself up on everything....crib, couch, mommy....whoever or whatever she can grab a hold of these days. She is no longer happy with just crawling. She wants to walk. She has now mastered going from her belly (crawling) to sitting up on her own. It's just amazing how fast they start doing things. Kirt and I thought Hailey was fast, but Ali is ready to run after her big sister. She is happy just to crawl over her.

Mother's Day with My Girls

It was a nice Mother's Day weekend with my girls. We had a beautiful Saturday together...Sunday was great spending time as a family, but mother nature decided to make it a very windy day. I also enjoyed time with Kirt and he had fun having the opportunity to spend two nice days with his girls.

Mother's Day Breakfast

Today was my Mother's Day Breakfast at Hailey's preschool. It was such a nice morning. The kids sang songs and made us personalized coffee mugs. They put a tea bag and a granola bar in the mug and said they were going to make us breakfast in bed. It is such a special time to have with Hailey, but it's so sad to see that she is growing up before my eyes. Pretty soon I'll be doing these things with little Ms. Ali too. Ali snacked on her first hard pretzel today when sissy had her after school snack.

Ali's on the Move

Ali has been crawling now for a while, but she isn't satisfied with only crawling....now she wants to pull herself up on things...mostly mommy and now she is trying to crawl into things. She loves trying to get on the shelve of our entertainment center and last night on the shelve of our end table. I'm going to be a lot busier with this little one then I was with Hailey. She wants to do everything her big sister does and nothing is going to get in her way.

Our Girls Together

Just a few shots of the girls having some fun together. Ali is changing so much these days. Hailey just loves being with her baby sister. We'll see how long that lasts, but I'm going to capture these moments every chance I get.
