Let Summer Begin!

(Warning: Lots of pictures and lots of events!!!)

HEADS ON A STICK
Tonight, May 16 2009 my Mom, Hailee and I went to Tom's Farm's for the KFI "Heads on a Stick" with John and Ken big tax revolt rally! It was so much fun! We made posters to hold up, we chanted the "Heads on a Stick" and "No No No" with the crowds! There were soooo many people there! This rally was
against the hacks and their taxes! Everyone came with their anger to this mandatory mob meeting! People had all sorts of signs, costumes and pinatas! Towards the end of the rally, they had a pinata of Governor Schwarzenegger hanging from a rope! I have to admit...that part was a little creepy to watch!

Some of the crowd

Before!

After!
Even Hailee had so much fun! She clapped and cheered too!
And check out this snake that slithered right across my Mom's foot! She didn't even know it was a snake when it happened! How scary!

Tom's Farms Family Trip

May 9th, we went as a family to Tom's Farms. It was our first time taking Hailee there and she LOVED it! She was in HEAVEN with all of the little animals! It was so cute because she pushed her baby doll right up to the fence where the animals were and then she started talking to her baby and pointing at the animals! (Oh, her new thing is taking her baby everywhere! And it is so cute because she thinks her baby is real. She feeds it, changes her diaper, talks to it and gives it hugs and kisses every day! She is such cutie!)
We had a great time and can't wait to take her back again!

She loved the fake horses too!

That night when we got home, we had dinner out on the patio! Hailee LOVED eating outside! Then after dinner, she helped Grandma do some gardening! Grandma and Grandpa Robinson are planting a "Grand children's Garden" so when the grand kids come visit , they can pick fresh fruit and vegetables with them! That was always a fun thing we did as kids when we saw out Grandparent's and now it will be fun for our children to be able to do it too!

Park Day!
May 6th we met up with our friends Jessica, Riley, Jen and Jocelyn and the water park here in Corona! It was alot of fun. Hailee isn't too sure about the whole water park part, but she definitely LOVES the playground! It was so fun getting all of these girls back together! They are all a month apart. (Jocy the oldest, Hailee the youngest!)
Being a big girl and climbing up by herself!
She LOVES the slides! Her favorite ones are the ones in the "big kids" playground area. She is so brave!

That night Deacon came over to play with Hailee before they left for Maui for a week! These two kids are so cute together! I am so happy that they are such good friends!
OUR HOUSE!
Lastly.... (this should probably be the first event on this post, but oh well!) We close on our house THIS FRIDAY!!! MAY 22nd!!! We are soooo EXCITED!!!! Before we move in, we are painting, tiling and re carpeting the whole house! Here are some "BEFORE" and in a few weeks I will post the "AFTER" pictures!
Yeah for buying our first house!
