Paradise Bay

Paradise Bay is the new pool in Lombard. We didn't have a pool last year because it was being voted on (increase in taxes). It is so nice! Hailey loves the pool and the water. She is becoming more daring each time. Madison did NOT like the water. She cried and then ended up sleeping. Kris (the 3rd kid) had a fun time, he went down all 3 waterslides!

Matching dresses

We brought some matching dresses back from Naples that I just couldn't resist.

Naples, FL

Kris and I got a little break and headed to Naples, FL. We stayed at my parent's friends house (The Maloney's). It was great! We relaxed and enjoyed the HOT weather!

Haileys own jumpy

So my mom was going to take Hailey to see the Wiggles, but decided maybe she wasn't quite ready for it. Instead, she decided to spend her money to get Hailey her own jumpy! We set it up outside and Hailey loved it. It (and Hailey) are available for parties!

Lawning

new word: lawning - cutting the grass. Hailey told us she was so tired from lawning today. After her nap, she asked is she could lawn again. Her father only wishes this would last until she was really able to lawn!

More school pics

So this is another photographer who comes to the girls school and dresses them up and takes their pictures. The pictures are always good for a giggle. Hailey is a Bears cheerleader and Madison - well, I have no idea what she is dressed in. I think its more like wrapped up in pink feathers...

Kris' new 'do

So, Kris and 11 of his co-workers went up to Wisconsin this weekend to run a relay from Madison to Chicago (200 miles). For some reason, they thought they needed to get buzz cuts, so they did it at work on Wednesday. The first picture is Kris with his coworkers and boss and they were supposed to look mean and menacing....

Using Madison as a pillow

It's a good thing Madison is such a happy kid. She takes it in stride when her big sister decides to use her as a pillow!

Pool time fun in Springfield

We headed to the pool during a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's. Hailey had a blast - some in the water, most out. Madison just hung out while we tried to figure out how to keep her from getting too much sun. I am afraid she may have gotten my fair skin.
