We have had beautiful, almost perfect temperatures lately and it makes it quite hard to even stay indoors. On Friday we enjoyed another nice 2 hour hike and Hailey did great!

Friday night we celebrated Alyssa's 4th birthday. Happy Birthday Alyssa! All the kids were able to make their own animal, Hailey chose a lamb and named it Olivia. She loves that name because she is a HUGE fan of the Olivia books. Sadly, my camera was in the hiking backpack and I forgot it for Alyssa's party, but as you can imagine the kids had a blast.

That night daddy decided to surprise us with a new pet, a hermit crab. Lets just say within 24 hours it found a new home. I am not saying they are not good pets, but its not really what I had in mind.

Sunday I decided it was time to pull out some warmer weather clothes and we dug out the bins Auntie Robin gave us last summer of Alyssa's 2T clothes. Lets just say we hit the jackpot! Truly I would never have to go shopping if I just didn't love it so much (ha,ha)! Thank you Auntie Robin and Alyssa.
In the bin Hailey found this dress which she calls her "princess dress". She asked me to put it on her and she dressed all up. Notice the huge smile on her face, she looks at me and says - "I'm beautiful".

Can you tell she spent the day with daddy?
