The Haynie Happenings

yes this happens EVERY day!

2 little buggers they just look like they are playing together...really they are teasing the dog because she can't come inside and the kids can't go out. (this was before the deck)

Helping mommy

I have been trying to get Madison to help better around the house. Today we were learning unloading the dish washer and put the dishes away... Madison was a great helper

Caleb not so much...

After this photo I asked Madi if the dishwasher was all empty she said "yes mommy except we have a washer monster...

...On the new deck!! It isn't quiet finished yet but with daddy out of town we decided that it would be fun to eat dinner outside. The kiddos love the new freedom that they have outside and I love her new freedom as well! It's a win win!!

Summer Time

Summer is right around the corner and the kids can't wait to get out. Madi is dying to learn how to ride her bike (we haven't been sucessful) and Caleb has been dying to get on the bike as well! Oh well for now he will have to settle the wagon.

Strawberry Jam

We are getting into my fav. time of year! fresh fruit and veggies which means canning, canning, and more canning! Madison is helping me this year and we are starting out with strawberries. Joe has never had freezer jam so I thought we would try it out. It turned out great! Joe loves it, madi and I had so much fun making it together,and we will probably be doing it again! :)

She was so proud of her jam

Big Boy Bed

For Caleb's 14 month birthday we got him out of the crib and into his own big boy bed (really its just a mattress on the floor) He loves it! Caleb loves to be able to have freedom to play and sleep when he likes. He really is doing very well and so far has started sleeping through the night (which he wasn't doing before because he was always trying to get out of the crib) He also has started to play through out the night but were getting better at this...
