Cupcakes

Halie got a cupcake maker for her birthday this year and we never have used it. The other day she was hiding in my closet and came out with the cupcake maker and wanted to play. We made a cupcake and doesn't it look appealing? I remember when I had an Easy Bake Oven. I thought the food was so good. Well now looking back it was probably pretty gross. We followed the directions, but it didn't taste very good.

Halie sure liked it. When she was done she wanted to make another for me. I said lets make one for daddy instead.

Sleeping

This is what happends to tired little girls who spend hours outside in the hot sun swimming. When she decided to stop playing like she was Ariel, she asked to watch a movie. I started her favorite movie Little Mermaid, and 2 minutes later this is what I found. She got this princess sleeping bag when we went camping a few weeks ago. Now she wants to sleep in it all the time. I let her watch movies in it. She thinks it a real treat to play with sleeping bag.

Brett is on mountain bikes for the summer, so now he comes home everyday really tired. He wants to take naps when he gets home. I keep telling him if I don't get one neither do you. I was playing on the internet and the whole house got really quiet. I turned around and saw Brett and Hunter sleeping on the bed.

Daddy Time

Both our kids love their dad, specially Halie. Brett plays anything she wants him to. Halie loves to play tea party, and wear her tu tu . Brett always has sunglasses with him. While we were sitting on the couch the sun was really bright so Halie went and got glasses for them to wear. I think he looks good in little girl glasses. What do you think?I just thought this picture was adorable.

Nap time

Halie, since she was born, has never been a napper. One day this week, I found Halie asleep like this on the couch with a big pile of drool underneath her mouth.
Since Hunter has been born, they never have been asleep together, other than at night. Brett and I didn't know what to do, so I just fell asleep too.

Hunter is a sleeping fool. He is always asleep and if he is not then he is eating.

Halie's new house

Grandma and grandpa Huish sent this fun little house and slide to Halie last week. Everyday the first thing she asks for is to go outside and play with her house and swim in her pool. Anytime we open the back door she somehow already has her shoes on, and is out the door in her house.
Don't mind all the dirt and weeds in the back yard. Someday we will actually have a fence, and grass to play on.

The newest edition to our family HUNTER!

On April 10 Hunter joined our crazy family. He was 7 lbs 14 ozs and 20 in long. So far our life has been absolutely insane. He had jaundice for the first 10 days really bad, so we had to put him in his very own tanning bed, and have him tested everyday. It was so sad to watch the nurses take blood from his little feet. Hunter is definately a different baby than Halie. Halie was the perfect baby she never cried and slept through the night on the 2nd night home. Hunter is a bit colicy and doesnt want to sleep at night. He is fussy at night and has so much gas it isnt funny. I am not the nicest person in the world when I don't get sleep, so it has been really hard. The good news is it can only get better.

Halie has been the biggest helper. Sometimes more than you need or want. She loves to get the diapers and bring his clothes for bed. I know she loves being a big sister. She is constently kissing him. We have to watch her because no matter how many times we say be soft she just doesn't understand the meaning. When he cries she covers her ears and tells him to be quiet. Then she tells us Huntoo is being loud. Halie has called him buddy boy, or baby Huntoo since we found out we were having a boy.

Hunter has Brett's looks and personality already. Now both my kids are spitting images of their dad. I guess I just carry them for 9 months and that's all. I just want someone to say oh they look like you a little. It has been insane having 2 kids, but a lot of fun too.

Birthday Party!!!

Tonight we had a couple of our closest friends come over to celebrate Halie's 1st birthday. We ate cupcakes and had ice cream. And played with toys.

Although Halie wasnt the happiest party goer. She hated the hat. She looked so cute in it, but she would not leave it on happily.
I guess I have taught Halie well, because as soon as her hand got frosting on it, it was all over. She started crying, until I cleaned it off. She did not want to get dirty. As a mother, that is what you want, but on her birthday I wanted her to get messy. She wanted no part of that.
As long as she had the spoon she was ok to eat the cake.
My friend Jacqui's daughter Brooklyn has the same farm set, so she was explaining how to play with it.

What a dang cutie!!
Halie has been in the loviest mood lately. She has been hugging every doll she has. I have no idea what got in to her, because she has always been the baby who never cuddles, so lately I have been enjoying all the hugs she gives. She kisses Brett and me with her mouth wide open, and pretty much licks our faces. It is so precious. No matter how wet you end up.
Not quite sure what to think.
