PERFECT!!!!

There are VERY few days in the year of perfect weather....but today is one of them! It's not too hot or too cold. It's not windy or cloudy. It is PERFECT! I'm an outdoors girl, and luckily so is Haylee. Mike much prefers being inside and so far I think Gage is turning out to be more like his dad. He's not sure what to think about the grass and he thinks the sun is way too bright. He'll hardly even open his eyes and he won't look up. He'll come around. I'm sure of it. How could you not love being out? I think it's time to fire up the grill and clean up the patio furniture. It's hard to beleive that just four days ago there was 6 inches of snow out there. Now it's sunny and beautiful. You might be asking yourself why I'm inside blogging about the fantastic weather and not out enjoying it. Hmmmmm. I don't have a good answer for that......but I'm headed out right now. Hope your weather is as good as mine!

1 2 3 and A B C

Can you believe Haylee is 3? Okay, she's been 3 for almost a month but I'm a horrible blogger. She had a fun filled day. We took her to the Kangaroo Zoo, a super fun facilty filled with huge infatable toys to jump on, crawl through and slide down. She had a blast. In true Haylee fashion, she was timid at first but as soon as she got the hang of it, there was no stopping her. She was fearless! She didn't want any help climbing up the back of the slides and they are really tall! She kept saying "Do it by myself". That seems to be her favorite saying lately. Miss Independant! She came home to a house full of presents to open. What a spoiled child! She got princess dress up clothes, a Princess Wii game, books and toys. Her big present this year is a sand box. Unfortunately the weather has not been cooperating and we still haven't set it up for her to play with (she doesn't even know about it yet). But next week the weather is supposed to get much better so Mike should be able to get the spot in the yard ready and get it set up for her. She's going to love it!! She was so cute when we did her birthday cake, we sang Happy Birthday to her and before she blew out the candles she closed her eyes and said "I wish, I wish". I don't know what she wished for, but it was super cute!!

Haylee suprised me the other day when she sang the alphabet from A to Z all by herself. We sing it all the time, probably every day, but we always sing it together. It never occured to me that she probably knew it well enough to sing it by herself. My little girl is growing up way too fast! I keep thinking that my kids are at the perfect stage and I don't want them to grow anymore, but then they learn something new and I think "okay, this is perfect, don't change!". But with everthing new stage in life, they just get better and better so I guess I'll let them keep growing.....as if I have any say in it!

Here are some cute pictures.....enjoy!
