It's PeanutButter Playdough Time!

The other day I made peanut butter playdough for the girls. They can play with it and eat it too. I chose not to tell them they could eat it hoping play time would last longer...

Rylee never even thought to put it in her mouth.
But, Haylee on the other hand....
She literally bit into it the second I gave it to her.

She devoured it and moved on to eat Rylee's.
"Puh-leeeease can I have some of yours?"
"No? Fine, I'll eat my crumbs then."

*************************************************
I try to get a shot of the cousins whenever I babysit Eli but I never get a good picture. I just thought this one was funny, Haylee decided to plop herself down inbetween Rylee and Eli. She looks huge!


****************************************************
I finally got Haylee in to her 18 month well check (we'll say 19 month check though since I took her a month late) and the doctor literally gushed about her. The doctor said she is the happiest sweetest baby she has seen and she has seen it all. I told her I wasn't making it up when I said she's a good kid! She didn't even make a peep when she got her shot. She weighs in at 25lbs, is 31 inches tall and in the 50th percentile. So she caught back up to "normal" stats and is doing great. She is such a blessing to us and makes us want more!
Her first pigtails =)

Blink-182

Scott and I went to AZ's Fall Frenzy to see blink-182 on Saturday. Scott promised me that if they ever reunited he would go with me to the concert. He ate his words when they announced their reunion tour this year. I bought tickets the day they went on sale and he was going with me, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. And he hestitantly went, for me (sweet huh?). Turns out he had a great time too. I'm not suppose to tell you that but...oops. The place was packed, it was outdoors at Tempe Beach Park so it was standing room only. We got there around 7pm (blink-182 went on at 10:30pm) and found our spot...we shoved our way to the middle right next to a barrier that split an aisle down from the middle of the stage for security. We were plastured there the rest of the evening, we didn't budge because we did not want to loose our spot. We stood there until 12am when it was all over. It was worth it though! So fun!

This picture below is not good at all but all we had was Scott's cell phone and a few seconds. Anyway, at the end of Fall Out Boy's set (went on before blink), Pete Wentz (basist) jumped off stage and came down the middle aisle we were standing by. I stuck my hand out to high five him and just two people before he got to me, he jumped up on the barrier and fell into the crowd. We were completely star struck. I have never been that close to anyone famous. Mind you, I wasn't sure of his name until I came home and googled it, but still, very cool. So the pic is him jumping up (he's the blur) and his body guard (big guy, bald head) holding him up.

I just wanted to add that the night 0f the concert marked the one year anniversary of the plane crash Travis Barker (blink 182 drummer) was in that killed 4 people. They dedicated the night to him and man is he an amazing drummer! Seriously, he has skills.

Haylee's Singing Debut

Haylee can sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
And those of you that need a translation...about halfway through the video she is singing the part "ba ba bove ba world so high"
(*notice Rylee in the background, lol. She'll hate me for having/sharing this video when she's older!

Still too hot....

So, I have been dying to get back outside again and this past weekend we got a small glimpse of fall temperatures. We ventured to the park for the first time in months but we only lasted about 10 minutes. It was still just too hot, even at 9am. But we still had fun for those 10 mins.
Rylee showing Haylee how to slide
Haylee plopped right down and scooted herself over the edge, no problem. She has no fear, what a natural.


My boys...
I was just taking a picture of Scott's shadow when Cruiser snuck right in and posed just like Scott.

Cruiser enjoys sliding too
