Off to MO.

Hayli & Kylie went to visit the MO Grandparents and family. Once Hayli crosses the state line she is called "Hayli Bugs" and Kylie hopes to come home with the name "Kylie Bugs". She does love her big sis and wants to outrun her in life's twist and turns. While the kiddies are gone Jason, Lisa, and David (Lisa's brother ) are going to paint their rooms. Hayli is getting hers painted because her grades were awesome... and Kylie is just because of Hayli's grades. Hayli's room will be Disney "Princess Purple" Kylie's will be Disney "Happily Ever After" aka Pink. I will really miss them. I am so thankful they get to spend time with us exploring life's wonderment.

Fishin' with Grandpa

Grandpa took Hayli fishing on Wed @ Boeing Lake. Hayli caught about 4 fish and went exploring. She found some fish bones.

Kylie went fishing on Thursday @ Boeing Lake. Kylie thought her first fishing adventure was "COOL". She liked the little picnic bench to sit and fish.

Rain.. Heat... Rain

Kylie has her first Webkinz, a signature pig she named "Peggy" It looks like the fish on her shirt is going to eat Peggy. This shirt is a hand-me-down from Hayli. Joe bought it for Hayli, because she is Papa's fishin Buddy. My Lillies bloomed and Joe took a pic before the rain beat them down last night.

Hayli's Award

Congratulations HAYLI! We are so proud of all your accomplishments.

Is it Summer yet?

Every day since the pool arrived at 2112 South Osage, the hourly question has risen to raise the rafters.... Can we put the pool up? and the answer is always it's not warm enough! Well, on Friday. Joe drove down Nims to come home, and Hayli squealed "The fountains are on!" We did not believe her and circled around to check. As we were coming to the opposite end of the park, Kylie starts to squeal loudly, "Look, it's on!" We stopped and let them play in their clothes. We put a tarp down on the seat to get home. Joe and I have decided to put our spur of the moment water park trip bundle in the car. The girls could not wait to tell their parents that Summer is here.

C'mon Mr. Sun

This week the "Present Truck" aka U.P.S. dropped off a package for Hayli & Kylie. A big rainbow pool with a bumpy slide, balls, rings, and a shower. Kylie is adamant about the shower not being used. They are ready to go.... suits, sunscreen, hats, and now they need warm weather. Here is a pic of this amazing pool.

Joe and I are getting the backyard set for summer. The garden and flowers are doing great. Joe is cooking on his new grill today. Pork ribs, grilled veggies, and bruschetta. Yum Yum! Hayli, Kylie, and Jason are joining us.

We had the girls for a sleepover, and the entertainment was abundant. Dress up was the main event. Kylie tried on her new swimsuit "The Ballerina" and her pink plaid sun hat (aka Cowboy hat". Hayli sang songs and figured out how to peel the paper off so she could apply the moustache she got on a visit to the doctor earlier that day. Hayli is maturing into a nice big sister - she shared the moustach with Kylie. Kylie put hers in the bathtub and ruined it.
