Memorial Day Weekend
We had a nice, long weekend of playing and now we're ready for a few days off before some more fun! :) These first couple pictures were from Friday.
Taylor was watering anything and everything, including the dandelions and Cooper!
Look at those curls in the humid pool room, Hailey!
This pic is all the great grand-daughters (Hailey, Carolyn, Taylor, Megan, Madi, Karena, Kylie & Katie) and one grand-daughter (Britney)
Taylor's first time fishing! She had a play fishy tied to the end of it, so no real fishing this time. We'll hook her up when the fish are really biting! Ben caught this fish in the picture.
Hailey was having fun playing on the boat. It was nice outside, though the breeze was chilly every once in awhile.

Hailey started swinging her baby then decided it looked comfy for herself!
Friday night we drove to Marshfield and stayed at a hotel there with lots of relatives and had lots of fun!

Taylor loves swimming and is getting pretty good at using her wings, but she also borrowed Logan's fishy raft a lot, thanks! :)
Saturday we met with a lot of the Topinka family to celebrate Grandma & Grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary.

Kylie & Taylor always have fun together, need to see you guys more!
Sunday night, Tim & Mel, Megan & Madi, Gary, Karen & Jared, Justin, Heather, Logan & Natalia came over to our house for some more playing. We tried for a Mrnak grandkid picture, but the babies were not too keen on that idea. This is the best one I got, we'll try again this weekend :)
Monday we hit the river with Grandpa & Grandma P for some fishing.. sort of. The guys caught 4 fish, so hopefully they'll be biting more next time. It was fun anyway!
Hailey was getting pretty upset everytime Taylor cast this Dora bobber in the river! She wanted to play with it.

We played at the park after fishing for a little bit, to tire the girls out a little more.
Mar told me I had to post these pictures of me flipping off the swing, lol, how funny looking :P
This picture of Hailey is from this morning... about 9:30am. She slept until 6 this morning, but guess she was still a little tired :) I was making a casserole in the kitchen and last time I looked she was reading a book on the floor.

Dr Appointments
The girls had their 1 year and 3 year dr checkups yesterday.
At 1 year old, Hailey is 18 lb 14 oz in the 20% for weight. She is 28 1/4 in and in the 25% for height. She had to have 4 shots yesterday.... measles mumps & rubella, chickenpox vaccine, hepatitis A, pneumococcal conjugate (this one is to prevent the spread of strep. pneumoniae bacteria that causes pneumonia, bacterial meningitis and blood infections). Poor Hailey, she then had to have her finger pricked for lead poisoning & hemoglobin testing. She was mad through it all of course, but last night she was her happy self.. brave little girl. The dr was happy with her development and "new words"since the last time we've seen her... mama, dada, papa, ball, puppy (kinda), dora, baby, baba, taytay, and she tries to say backpack. It comes out more like baa-paa. :)
At 3 years old, Taylor is 29 lbs in the 25% for weight. She is 36 1/4 in and in the 30% for height. She didn't have any shots, but she was pretty excited of the fact that she was getting checked out by the dr. She usually just gets to watch! Dr was happy with Taylor's development and language skills as well, since she's been speaking in full sentences for over a year and most people other than me have been able to understand her for quite awhile. Her dr did however discover an innocent heart murmur that so many kids ages 3-7 get.. it's a kind that comes and goes and is a developmental thing. If you'd like to read more about it, go to Still's Murmur. It's on the 2nd page. Of course, the moment she said heart murmur I almost had a stroke myself after all we've gotten through with Hailey but she assures me that it doesn't even need a look at.. just her listening to it once a year is enough and it probably won't even be there next year.
Well, that's all for now! Taylor's birthday is coming up, so we're preparing for that now. She's having a Barbie party. It was so hard for her to decide, she likes too many things now :)

1 and 3 Year Pics and Family
With the girls birthdays and a new seasons, we've been trying to get some pictures taken. We finally finished yesterday at the park. I'm happy with how they turned out. We used the next 6 for our prints. We cropped down the individual ones of Hailey & Taylor, not shown cropped here.
Grandma & Grandpa P helped take pictures and distract the girls!
The rest are just some other pictures taken Saturday or this week that I love to!
