Welcome Cousin Tyler!

We've all been fighting colds this week, so sorry for the lack of pictures. The girls are finally starting to get over the eye goop cold.. gross.. but now we all have a cough/sore throat. That on top of my sinus congestion and headaches, I'm glad it's the weekend and Ben's home so I can rest my head a little. Ben was working in Milwaukee all week.



Hailey loves emptying the book shelf, but then she got stuck and didn't think that was the coolest thing!



Congrats to Tim & Mel, Megan & Madi on baby Tyler born on Tuesday. He is sure a handsome little man! We can't wait to meet him, and if we weren't sick we'd be there right now! We're bummed about that. Taylor is excited to meet "Megan & Madi's baby brother like Hailey's my baby sister!" Welcome to the world little guy, you sure will be loved a lot and already are!

Sunday Afternoon Trail Walk

After a fun Saturday (see post below), we had another nice warm day at Grandpa & Grandma Mrnak's house. Taylor and I both have colds today, but it was so warm out we needed some fresh air.

Taylor was having a lot of fun walking with Sheila the cat. She was following us then leading Taylor back to the house.

Cooper had a nice walk too!

Lake Geneva & Gurnee Mills

We went back down to Grandpa & Grandma Mrnak's this weekend, since Ben was going to Grand Geneva for the snowmobile races Saturday. It was a beautiful day!



The girls in their new outfits from Auntie Shelley, thanks :) They are cute and cozy!



Hailey enjoyed her ride around part of Lake Geneva's trail with Grandpa & little Cooper puppy.

Mommy & her girls

This swan was right by the edge for the whole time we were there, and his friend the goose.

We met Tim & Mel, Megan & Madi at Gurnee Mills too and had lots of fun... despite being tidal-waved by a "humpback whale" at Bass Pro shop. They were feeding fish and a huge catfish splashed everybody, soaked a couple kids and got some of us pretty wet and stinky too. The girls are ready for their little brother to be born, but not as much as their mommy ;-)

Wagon Rides, Bike and Playing with the Baby

We really enjoyed our first day of warm weather play yesterday afternoon. Yes, Hailey was only on the back of this bike for the picture :)




Taylor's learning how to pedal now, she's pretty proud of herself when she gets it going.



After Ben came home we went for a wagon ride and walk with Cooper.



Taylor is such a good big sister, always holding onto Hailey to make sure she doesn't fall back.




and Cooper loves the attention!

I love this picture! I started watching a new little guy this week, and the kids love him! Hailey is doing really good with him. She tries to hold his hand all the time, like she holds her dolly's hand.

This was our St. Patrick's Day project. I printed out the template and cut it out. The kids colored and helped me figure out where to glue the parts. It hangs on a doorknob.

Grandma P came over yesterday morning for a couple hours and took the big kids for a wagon ride too. They had lots of fun and she even went and got happy meals for lunch!
