Mother's Day

Mother's Day was good! My day started with breakfast in bed (sweeeet!) and we went to my Mom's to visit and had lunch at Scott's Mom's.

My Mom, the girls, and I

Scott had the girls paint a coffee mug for me. I love it and will cherish it forever. And to my surprise, he also got me an awesome, much needed, new phone. Thanks guys for a great day!

The Mug

It says Best Mom 2009 on it (Scott's touch)

On a different note, Rylee LOVES helping me in the kitchen. She stands on her step stool to help out and the other day Haylee decided to hop on too.
Watching the cookies closely as they bake

Wow

I have been telling Rylee all day how pretty she looks. Something about the way her hair is pulled back and her new shirt.

I know I am her Mom and all, but seriously...

she's G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

We went to the zoo over the weekend. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time. Rylee really enjoyed it this time...she wanted to ride every animal we saw.

This ended up being the only animal she rode, it was fake but she still liked it.
Below was Scott's favorite part of the day, maybe even his life. A squirrel came right up to us and Scott fed it.
Wow.

The lions.

Haylee really liked them! She was all giddy and would do her demanding point and grunt at them. Loved the cuteness.

Us girls and the Rhino

All of us and the Rhino's butt.

Rylee finally getting to see the elephant, she waited all day for this moment.

Doesn't she look thrilled?

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter! We were stressing about it before hand because we had so much to do in one day, but it turned out great!

Saturday we colored eggs.

Sunday morning Rylee woke me up bright and early by hitting me in the head with a sippy cup (it was one of the gifts in her Easter basket) showing me what she got.

An early morning Easter egg hunt at our house. Haylee was pretty good at it, I was so glad she could walk this Easter so she could participate!
The BIG peep egg she found.

Our family before Church.

After Church, we went to Scott's Mom's house for brunch and then to my Mom's for dinner. Both meals were great and both Grammies made it really special for the girls!

Another Egg hunt!

In Action

Rage of Jealousy

I babysat little Elijah on Monday. He's so sweet.

Haylee was not happy.
She thought he was trying to take her Mommy away.

On the move

Haylee figured this walking thing out on Monday! She now chooses to walk places on her own and usually reaches her destination without falling (unlike in this video where she falls just before she reaches me, but you get the idea...=)! I am just surprised it didn't take her until she was 16 months old like a certain older sister we know...

Rylee the Artist

The other day Rylee drew some pictures. She did this completely on her own.

Her first drawing was of Daddy...

Love the Shrek ears and a halo.

Then she drew Mommy.

Don't be jealous of my double chin/neck.

And Haylee too.
Huge grin, no hair and a halo...yup definitely Haylee. Love the accuracy.

I just thought I'd throw in a picture of my sweethearts too. Why not?
