Hailey turns 5!

While we were in Colorado, Hailey had her 5th birthday, and my sister Cory made her this amazing cake. She is super creative and I'm in awe of her. Hailey was so excited to turn 5 so that she could start kindergarten.

After we went to Idaho, we drove to Colorado and stayed for 3 weeks. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone and planned lots of activities. We went to the North Pole to see Santa, Prospect Lake to swim, Fargos Pizza, many parks, Pirates Cove, etc. Most of our pictures were taken by Cory, so I only have a couple on my computer. The kids loved seeing everyone.

Stradling Family Reunion

In July, we met the entire Stradling clan in Idaho for a few days of fun. The best part was seeing family. These are a couple of the younger cousins all decked out in their reunion t-shirts.

It's a....

We just had the ultrasound today and found out that we're having a GIRL! I'm totally shocked. I'm attributing my heightened emotional state to all that extra estrogen. :) We're so glad that she is healthy and everything looks good.

Hailey is so happy that she "won't be alone any more!"

Happy Birthday Grant

Grant turned 3 on Sunday. We had 100% Lightening McQueen gift giving. He's totally obsessed with the movie and was so excited about everything-even the underwear! Something tells me it won't be this easy every year.
He asked for waffles for dinner. Oddly enough, he was EXHAUSTED on his birthday and after the gifts at about 9 am, this was about the only other time that he smiled. Glad we got it on camera!

Summer Haircuts

Every summer, the boys ask me to buzz their hair. This is the first year I've done Grant's hair and he looks so different. Hailey felt a little left out and asked if I would give her a summer haircut. I quickly put the clippers away!

Thanks Grandma!

Chris' parents came for 10 days to watch our kids while we went to Hawaii. She made each of them really cute pajama pants. They all love them!
