Spoiled by daddy! Hailey has been wanting one of these trikes (she sees them at stores and cries) for about 6 months now, but she was obviously too small. The problem about waiting for her birthday is that it will be in the dead of winter! So we were at the store and Kevin said that he was getting one for her. She of course took it for a test drive in the store and then she wouldn't get off it and was throwing a fit, so we picked her up on the trike and set her in the cart. Everyone who saw her riding the trike inside the shopping cart couldn't help but laugh.
Monday was a crazy busy day, and the kids were super grumpy! We had planned all day to go hiking for family home evening and debated after the long and exhausting day whether to go or not. Well around 6 or so we decided just to do it. We hiked the stokes nature trail and had such a great time. The weather and scenery was beautiful, and it turned the day right around. I had some pictures from last May when we hiked this trail and just couldn't resist adding them too.

Bald beauty! :)

Scott is so big now, and he hiked the whole thing by himself!

This is the one that makes me sad! Awww! (last May)Scott was really excited because we let him carry the water pack on his back (it only lasted a minute though, then like everything else-we ended up packing it around)
Once we got to the end - treats of course
Hailey has been so sweet lately carrying her little baby around everywhere saying "baby". She puts her in the doll stroller and strolls her around, has to eat every meal side by side with her,

and of course, lots of kisses. So sweet.
