You Are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Getting old...feeling young!

Last Night I found my first GRAY HAIR..
And, I went to the New Kids on the Block concert.
A night to remember.
I am an idiot and thought I couldn't take my camera!
It must be the old age.

Bitter-Sweet!!

Hadlee has been doing so good on the potty lately, I would say she uses it about 80% of the time during the day. In my opinion, if your child doesn't go the whole day without accidents they are not concidered potty trained. Now I am not saying that accidents will not still happen, but you need to have more 100% days than not (this of course doesn't include night time, where I believe it is a little harder), with that said I feel like Hadlee is in the process of being potty trained, but not quite there....She is doing wonderful though!! I am so proud of her. She is so good about telling me when she has to use the potty, even during parties she has told me, which I think is great!! Well here comes the bittersweet part, Hadlee woke me up 3x to use the potty last night, and only went once. I think it's good that she does this, but man I want to sleep. I wonder when the time comes when she can just do it herself....LOL. I am so proud of my little girl.

ps. I am not a professional, and these are just my opinions. It's ok, you are entitled to yours too!! :-)

It's finally summer!!!

It has been amazingly hot lately!!

We decided the girls needed to get wet, and cool off!!

They all had a great time!

Ladybugs are good luck!

BFF's-Corrine and Hadlee!

The Three Muskateers!!

Hadlee had such a great time swimming with Corrine and Kaylee!

Just loved this little outfit on Hadlee.
Everytime I would tell her to smile she would tilt her head all weird!!
I finally got her to look at the Camera!!

Mommy's day (weekend)

Hadlee Loves to help mommy. She fights with me over the Vacuum and the broom the most.

Hadlee helps mom get the house clean

before we get started on our weekend!

Dezi had the family up for a bbq. Awesome! We only go up there once a year. Last year I hated the drive, this year I found it to be a pretty nice drive. We all had a great time at Dezi's, good food, good company, and of course the 4 wheeler!!

This was Hadlee's first time on the 4 wheeler

and she did pretty good.

Daddy had to help her turn, but yay for her!!

AJ was a trooper and pulled

Hadlee, Parker and Kelton on the wagon!

My Favorite picture: Hadlee and Parker on the 4 wheeler.

Cool Riders!!

My Mothers day was pretty nice. Hadlee went to church with Grandma and Grandpa. She made me my first ever mothers day present. It was awesome!!

I am so proud of this Drawing!

You'll just have to deal with it...

I am sick of hearing these words. I am sick of "Dealing" with it. I feel like I am always dealing with people and thier bull crap! (is bullcrap one word or two, oh well, no matter!) Consistantly, I am dealing with crap, people complaining, being mad, as if they are the only ones that have that right! Well, personally, I have been dealing with all of thier stuff for a while now. And, I am done! I feel like this is such a rude thing to say when someone is voicing thier concerns. From now on if "people" have a problem, I am going to tell them, "you'll just have to deal with it". That's all, just needed to get that off of my chest! Even though I am sure no one will know what I am talking about. Feels good to say it, because in all reality, I can't say it to the person I want to say it to.

Adventures in Hofeling land

I had quite the exciting weekend, and since I know that you all are dying to know what Becky does with herself....

Here it is....

Friday, looks like it will be a normal weekend, until my beautiful sister calls and asks if I will take Teigan and Daisha overnight. Huh? Come again? Over what? You must be crazy!! OK I'll do it.

So as soon as Jessica drops the kids off Teigan is a little upset about his mom leaving, he was crying and kept pulling the chair to the window to look out. It was very sad, I wish I would have taken a picture of this, your hearts would be breaking for this little sweet pea. Now what? Bath time, yes bath time. So I proceed to the bathtub, 3 kids in tow, get TT and Hadlee undressed get them in the tub, (light bulb) I should put Daisha in also. So I get the 3 kids in the tub, place Daisha in the toy basket so that I can take some pictures (I definitely smelt a scrapbook/myspace/blog opportunity!) Hey at least Teigan is happy now. Wash them down, get 'em in their PJ's, yes making excellent time!!

I tell TT and Hadlee they can watch barney before bed, so I can give Daisha a bottle. check check, off to bed, we all pile in my bed, I rock Daisha and put her in hers, she is asleep, 1 down 2 to go!! TT's a little sad, I rub his head, tell him it's bed time, and off he goes, 2 down 1 to go (mine). I do this every night it should be easy, my lovely daughter, snuggles up to TT, puts her arm around him and pinches him, yep that's right I said pinches him, he wakes up, (owie)crying, 1 down 2 to go. After a little love, and a Hadlee be nice to TT, he falls back asleep. 2 down 1 to go. Hadlee proceeds to lay down almost falling asleep, then decides, hey this is a slumber party!! Nobody falls asleep at her slumber parties (she gets this from me, I must admit), she kicks Teigan, he wakes up. Well you get the idea, I finally get TT back to sleep, getting a little mad at Hadlee at this point, I make Sam go put her to bed! Daddy, must have the touch because she finally went to sleep.

The next day, it was a battle to get anything done, but I did manage, wondering the whole time, how people have more than one kid, let alone 3 very young ones. Crazy!

But I did manage to do Daisha's hair in some really cute pig tails.

Saturday, I had Daisha and TT until about 4pm! Sam, Hadlee, Jaedyn, Kobe, Bobbie and I went out to eat at Chili's which to our suprise there was no wait at all, amazing. A girl I worked with in H.S. was serving us. Yay, I look like I am straight off the farm, gosh I love running into old people, especially when I look so great. I know your wondering, so I will tell you, no I didn't get a discount, what crap!! Jaedyn wanted to spend the night, both she and Hadlee fell asleep in the car around 7pm and slept the whole night through.

This morning I woke up, got Hadlee in the tub, put her in a dress and told her to go tell Grandma she was ready for church. Grandpa saw her in her dress and said "we should take her with us!" Yes, score!! So this is how it happened that my daughter went to church for the first time! (besides when she was blessed, but she was only 2 months old then). Grandma said she slept through most of sacrament, but only took one piece of bread and one water. Folded her arms for the prayer, and when everyone started singing, my lovely daughter was singing with them, even though she doesn't know the words, she is very good at the whole "fake it, till you make it" routine. She looked at Grandpa and said, "Grandpa dance", and grandpa being the good sport that he is danced to the hymns. She shared (forced) her fish crackers on the little boy in front of her, and fell asleep. She loved the nursery, had a snack, sang some songs, and colored! Grandma said everyone was in love with her, and that she was very good. And momma got a 3 hour break. One 3 hour break in 2 years isn't to bad. Ha ha, OK OK I exaggerate, but not that much!!

So now here it is 10pm and Hadlee is asleep (in her bed) and you all can sleep well knowing what I did with my weekend.

So long, fair well, god bless you each and everyone.

yes, I am losing my mind!!

What's new

I know you all have been dying to know what is new with my daughter…
Well here it is.
Plain and Simple
all about Hadlee.

Well after a month of potty training boot camp, millions of dollars in pull-ups, and one pee-pee and two poo-poo's I have packed in the ol' whip and put Hadlee back in diapers. So now that she has been back in diapers for a couple weeks she has started asking to use the potty again, so maybe we will give it another shot….After we get her to stay in her own bed all night…




Yup Hadlee got a new bed, after pulling the old "I think I will throw myself out of my crib head first" stunt. I let her pick out her own sheets, and comforter for it. She of course chose The Little Mermaid. I really wanted the one with the cute little monkeys on it, she wanted The Little Mermaid more, I thought that if I let her pick them she would be more inclined to sleep in there. So let me tell you, bed time is HELL TIME around my house!! We have gotten her to go to bed in her room, however every night she ends up in our bed. At first I was really stressed about this, but as I have told some of you, I was way to overwhelmed with all of it, and decided to take it one thing at a time, so maybe next week I will start working on getting her to stay in her bed.
Hadlee just turned 2 on April 6th. And, Aunt Bobbie being the lovely Aunt that she is, gave Hadlee a Kitten. The first few days were very trying, He wasn't eating, or using the bathroom, and quite frankly I was thinking this cat was going to either die of starvation, or be murdered by my 2 year old. Although, I think she would have gotten the lesser charge of involuntary kitty slaughter. But I got the kitten to eat, and it took me very little time to get him to use the litter box, I am still a little worried about my 2 y/o being on a kitty hunt, but over all this little guy is doing really good. Hadlee, despite the fact that she smothers him absolutely adores him, and he adores her. It is funny cause every time she gets around him he starts purring like crazy. I let Hadlee name him, and what does she decide to call him? YELLOW. Yup, Yellow!!
