Summer so far

We have had the best summer so far. And we haven't really even gone on vacation yet. We just pretty much relax and go swimming everyday. I'm lucky because Joe is just teaching the morning session of summer school, so I have him home early every afternoon.
Kendal had her birthday party on the 4th of July. It was a princess party so Keelie got to wear her Cinderella dress. They decorated crowns and instead of pin the tail on the donkey they put lipstick on and had to kiss a frog. Keelie insisted on putting the lipstick on herself.



They made a huge slip n slide with a tarp that pretty much covered the whole backyard. These pictures aren't the best but they show the slip n slide pretty good.

This is Hadlie flying across the slide.

These are just some random pictures i've taken lately. We were in the car and Hads couldn't find her pacifier so she improvised by sucking on her big toe. And no, her feet were not clean at all.

Just a picture of my cute girls in their jammies going to bed late again.

Anniversary

Happy 7th anniversary! We celebrated by going swimming with family during the day. Then went to the temple and then to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Its been a great 7 years. I love you Joe!

Summer and Hads

I love summer. Probably because I'm married to school teacher. Joe is teaching the morning session of summer school and then is home by 12:30. We have been swimming everyday since Memorial Day. We bought a family pass to all the Mesa pools and have had fun going to Stapley pool almost everyday. We did try out Shepherd which was fun, but I think I like Stapley better. I am excited to try out some other pools that we haven't been to yet.

I forgot that I hadn't posted Hadlie's stats from her 12 month dr. appt. This is just for me cuz I like to look back and compare size and stuff with Keelie when she was a year, and for future kids.

weight- 20.3 lbs. 30%

height- 30 1/2 in. 90%

head- 18 in. 75%

What can I say about my Hadlie girl? She is definately more opinionated and fiesty than Keelie ever was. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to scream until she gets it. And forget about trying to take something from her. She will fight you for it! We switched her into a front facing carseat which she doesn't seem to like very much. We are hoping she gets better before we make our 15 hour drive to Texas in July to visit my sister. She does not like church either. She lasts about 15 min. in sacrament meeting before one of us (usually joe) has to take her out for the rest of church. I hope i'm not making her out to be some unhappy baby that cries all the time because she's not. She really is happy most of time. She is definately a daddy's girl. She knows where her nose, toes, ears, head, and bellybutton are. She folds her arms so cutely when we say a prayer. She doesn't like to be left out of anything. If we are playing duck, duck goose with Keelie she is sitting right there next to us. When Joe plays hide-n-seek or tag with Keelie, Hadlie joins in to, which mean Joe holds her while he runs around. Her favorite is to hide in the bed under the covers. She cracks up when someone finds her. Even though Hadlie is a bit of a challenge sometimes, we love her so much and wouldn't trade her for anything. She is our little Hadlie madlie girl!

Happy Birthday Hadlie!!

Today is Hadlie's 1st birthday! We actually celebrated on Saturday along with her cousin Carver whose birthday was 4 days before. We had a blow up water slide that was a huge hit with all the kids. Its funny though because Hadlie hated it. She would just cling to Joe when he would try to put her on it. Oh well, everyone else had fun!

Especially Keelie. I'm pretty sure she went down more than anyone.

Jack was the only one that would look when I was trying to get a group shot and he gave me nice shot of his arm pit.

Screaming!

Loving it!

Eating her cake

She got 3 dolls (among many other presents) and would hold all of them at the same time. So cute! She loves dolls!

Easter

We had a really fun Easter this year. We have WAY to much candy, and I can't stop eating it! On Saturday we celebrated at my parents house with my family. We had a yummy dinner, decorated eggs, and of course had an Easter egg hunt.

After church we went to Joes parents for the Goodman party. Some more good food and again, way to much candy!

All the cousins that participated in the hunt.

Inspecting all their loot. The Easter bunny brought the Platt girls swimsuits. I'm pretty sure thats what they get every year, and every year thats what they wear all day long. I think its pretty funny!

Our family. Joe is the only one that looks normal in this picture, but this was the best one we got!

Joes b-day

Happy 29th birthday Joe! You're the best and we love you!

time for an update

I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I would do a quick update with the pictures I have taken recently. I went to lunch with my friends this week. So fun. I haven't seen them forever. I have been friends with most of these girls since like 2nd grade, and the others since jr. high. Jacque(pregnant), Lisa, Alyssa(pregnant), Evonne(pregnant w/twins!), Tarah(pregnant), Brooke, me, Tiffany I love my girls! They definately have different personalities. Lets just say that Hadlie is alot harder than Keelie ever was as a baby. She is so opinionated and stubborn. She is still sweet as can be, but if she wants something or doesn't like something, she will let you know! Keelie has been especially sweet lately. Like yesterday she said to me about 25 times out of the blue "I love you so much mommy!" Sometimes I forget she is only 3 cuz she acts so much older. I don't know why, I must say it alot, but she has been saying "Oh my gosh!" so much lately. Last night she said to Joe "Oh my gosh daddy, you are so silly!". She says it when she is happy or mad. It's pretty funny.

I just thought this was a cute picture. We were at Joes baseball game and she stood up and said "Mom, take a picture of me at dads baseball game" so I did!
