Dates

This was a day of dates Hailey and Ben and I went to the Mall and did Some shopping and played at the play place, rode the little train, and then met my mom and Her and Hailey went to the movies. She got to go spend the night at grandma and Pappies. That was a special treat for her. She loves to go on sleep overs and there aren't a lot of places we will let her go so when grandma asked if she wanted to she jumped at the chance.

Mom and John's Birthday

We went to Apple bee's to celebrate mom and John's Birthday's

I'm not sure what Hay and Ben and Hay are doing but they are cute. I look annoyed.


Pappy looks like he's going to bite someone. Pappies got a lap full of kids.

Funny faces.

Silly kids

We were in the trailer and mom agreed to watch the kids while I took a shower. I was blow drying my hair, and I looked over and there was a Hailey head sticking out under the door.

She thought she was funny and cute. Ben thought she was very clever.




Jacob and his buddy Jeremy. My kids just love Uncle/Cousin Jeremy. He and his wife don't have any kids but he is a really fun uncle. Grandma Carol taking a break.


Silly Bubbi's


I'm not quite sure whats wrong with Uncle Bubbi, I think he was dropped on his head as a child

Baptism food prep

Mom came over to help us make food for Hailey's baptism party. Hailey really wanted to make 8 shaped sugar cookies, so Grandma Jammie made us a batch of sugar cookie dough and mom and i rolled it out and Hay & mom cut them out. I'm not sure what we did wrong but no matter what we tried they either fell apart or stuck to the cookie sheet. So it didn't make Hay very happy but we had to scrap the cookies. We still made chocolate chip cookies and Hailey's other request was cheese balls. Hailey & Jacob really wanted to help so they both got to help with cheese balls and cookies.

I enlisted the big girls help Cyndi pitched in, but Shell wasn't feeling well I'm not sure if it was a gluten attack or the stomach yuck that's going around my family, but either way we let her sleep on the couch.

Girls Night out.

We got a rare chance tonight to have a Welch's girls night out. The only one that was missing was Valerie but She was a little too young for the movie we went to see so she stayed home with her Daddy.


Me, Mom, Hailey & Sam, Cyndi, Shell.



We went to Cheese cake Factory for dinner which use to be one of my favorites but since the Celiacs I hadn't been there. Well it came out to be somewhat difficult for Shell and I. Have I mentioned my oldest niece has found out she has celiacs too? Well anyway ALL of there salad dressings have gluten in them, so we ended up having Burgers with no buns. Having Celiacs sucks but I can't imagine how hard it is to have it and be 14. And having to constantly be the odd one in the group saying oh I can't have that. But she's a strong girl and the one good thing is she found out early in life so she isn't as set in her ways as I am so she can get on a better diet.

Hay taking pictures with Grandmas phone.



I know I'm silly, but I asked one of the Movie theater people to take our picture. Who knows when we'll have a chance to have a girls night out with all of us. We saw Letters to Juliet which was super cute and I loved. It was a little to big for Hailey she got a little board at points and I would have to shush her but I'm still glad we took her, it was fun to have her there.
