Hailee's first braids
Hailee is such a sweet little girl. She loves to give everyone hugs and kisses. She loves Leo so much and is a great big sister. If she sees anyone get hurt she immediately wants to kiss it and make sure they are okay.
We got a ton of rain. It had rained for three weeks. One day when Tom got home from work it began to downpour and they all played in it for a few minutes. They loved it.
Hailee wasn't sure about the slide at first but now she loves it and can climb up all by herself. It was hard to get some pictures but Leo loves it too. Its really hard to get him out when we are all done.
We got this really neat inflatable pool the last few weeks it was warm. The kids loved it. We had to put it away and let it dry out till next summer, but we can not wait to get it out again. Even Tom and Myself have fun on the big slide.
The kids love picking the berries. Hailee's favorite are the unripened blackberries and Leo will eat anything.
Hailee loves riding the ponies. Bomer is her favorite and she thinks that he belongs to her.
Leo loves the old tractors. He is too afraid to ride the ponies but hopefully he will hop on one soon. We try every time but he just likes to pet them.
We have been to our favorite little farm a few times this summer. We all love it so much. The kids get to run and play, ride the ponies, feed all the animals, and my favorite pick fresh fruits and vegetables. We cant wait for the fall festival so we can go pick pumpkins.
We went down to Hermosa beach, which is very beautiful. They had a street fair going on and Hailee had to have her face painted. I tried to talk her into several other cute face paintings but she had to have the kitty. I have to admit it turned out adorable and she talks about her kitty face a lot.
My biggest kid!
He had to remember how to control the thing at first LOL
I think Leo will be asking for a motorcycle every year until he is finally old enough to get one.
While we were in Montana Tom was going to dye if we did not ride any four wheelers or dirt bikes. Well, it looks like Leo has fallen in love too. He loved sitting on them. He even would hold on the handle bars like he was driving himself. He cried when it was time to get off :-(

Everyone was excited to open presents.
Leo kept bending over like this and thought it was sooo funny.
Pointing at all the airplanes flying around
Tom took Hailee out on a date and I had a date with Leo. We went down to the Air Show on base. It was a lot of fun. I didn't realize that it was such a big thing but there were thousands of people there. Luckily we rode our bike so we didn't get stuck in all of that traffic.

This is right before we chopped it
During his haircut. Tom was feeding him mini M&M's to keep him still
The final look! We love his big boy hair
After 16 months we finally decided it was time for Leo to get a haircut. We loved his crazy curly hair but I always said once people started to call him a girl we would cut his hair.
Hailee and Leo love each other a lot. They love to hug and kiss. Don't get me wrong they do fight a lot but it is really nice when they do show each other some love.
We only had one helmet so only Hailee got to try it out. Now we have two and we ride almost every day that the weather permits.
For Mothers Day Tom got me a bike. I have been really wanting to take the kids on rides. Well, we finally find a decent bike trailer for the kids. We love to go for bike rides. Now we just gotta get Tom a bike.
The kids loved wrestling their cousin Brad
While we were in Montana we celebrated Great Grandma Marlene's birthday
The girl cousins- Emily, Hailee, Chrissy and Lilly
Leo loved this car.

One of the days we were in Montana we visited the Lewis and Clark Caverns. The caverns were a ton of fun I suggest that anyone in the area must visit. Hailee and Leo loved them as well. They both did a great job.
