Daddy's Big Girl Helper and the Mess Maker

Haley loves to be daddy's big girl helper.

Lauren's Devilish Smile!

Labor Day Weekend

I love slow weekends with no plans so that we can spend some quality family bonding time together. I especially love to see Dennis working and playing with his girls. I'm a bit partial but I think that he's the best daddy in the world which of course only makes me love him more. Okay, I can see all of your eyes rolling now.
We had no plans during Labor Day weekend so Dennis took that opportunity to wash the cars. As soon as Dennis pulled out his car and started washing it, Haley was right there asking him if she could be his helper. He got her a sponge and she helped him to wash both of our cars. Of course, I had to run and get the camera to capture the moment on film.
In the meantime, Lauren was busy in the garage getting into anything that she could lay her hands on. I had to stop taking pictures to clean up Lauren's messes. She just looked at me with a great big grin and a devilish look in her eyes. How could I be mad?

dreamw said...: How special!!! I wonder if they learn at a young age to enjoy washing the car if they will volunteer when they are 12, 13, 14 etc.??? Good thought???
I have to agree with you Tonya, that when you have a very wonderful father for your children, it does make you love him more, wouldn't you agree girls??? Love, Mom; September 22, 2007 at 8:25 PM

What a busy summer!!

I decided that a blog would be an easier way to keep in touch with everyone instead of two separate web sites for the girls. I thought that you might also want to see pictures of the whole family not just our little angels. Although they are a heck of a lot cuter than Dennis and me. Also, I love my sisters' blogs so I'm joining the band wagon. Aren't you proud of me Tez?

As for our summer, Haley turned three in May and by June she was completely potty trained and taking swimming lessons which she LOVED!

Lauren turned one in June and we had a big celebration for her here at the house. Our home was filled to the brim with family and friends celebrating Lauren's first birthday. We all had a wonderful time.

At the end of July Lauren started walking and talking. She carries on full conversations but only she understands what she's saying. We all just nod our heads and pretend to understand.

Then in August, we took our first summer family vacation to San Diego. We took the girls to the San Diego Zoo, Legoland, and the beach. All three were firsts for the girls. All four of us loved every minute of our vacation. The highlight of the trip for Haley was our hotel with a great view from the 21st floor and her pull out bed in the suite. Here are some photos and a video clip of our summer memories. Enjoy!
