New House and.... new puppy!

Girls new bunk beds. The stairs are pretty cool and I like to think safer than a ladder.
I like the railings.
girls bathroom is identicle to master.
One of the other three bedrooms. One is a little bigger than the other two, which will be Ayla and Hailyn's room. We have already purchased them bunkbeds--- :-)
master bath shower and tub.
Master bath- nothing fancy. I think we gain the extra space elsewhere which is okay with me
Master bedroom with his and her walk in closets!

nice size half bath. Enough room to put a little table or something in here- same with outside of the bathroom- I love the little space... will need help decorating. I am really bad with placement :-)

Our little Cleaver
Here are some pictures of the house that I just took today. Cannot wait until closing day!! We also chose, after a couple years of begging, to get the girls a dog. It is hard work having a puppy and 3 kids--- so I am learning. But totally worth it to see my girls happy. :-) He is a 7, almost 8 week old weimeraner named Cleaver Blue. :-)

Pictures Galore!!!

I love this!! Cake Moustache!? The Birthday Girl! Cake Coma? BIG Bite! Ayla about to eat her #5 :-) Such a Cheeseball! That Cake looks SOOOO good!! My girls and I! Daddy and his Big girls. Ayla in her new outfit from Grandpa Jack and Grandma Carol New Horse shirt from Grandma & Grandpa Jack! the Birthday girl and I. Hailyn was NOT going to be left out of the picture.. ha ha. trying to get a good picture of all of us at Rainforest Cafe. As you can see, that is near impossible. :-) The Birthday girl being a silly goose! Paisley cheesing for the camera, like always. Ayla's birthday cake. She helped with pretty much everything- even the writing on the cake :-) Mixing the cake after she put in ALL The ingredients. She loved it! My pretty Ayla Hailyn, being... well, Hailyn :-) Pretty girl! Paisley Cheesin' after insisting I put on her princess dress! All three of my girls coloring!
I have decided that I am a terrible blogger! Ha! I really enjoy it, but have yet to fit it into the craziness we call life... One day I will figure it out :-)
We just celebrated Ayla's 5th birthday! I cannot believe she is 5 years old! Someone please slap me! Time really does escape you when you have children. They really do grow too fast.
She is starting kindgergarten tomorrow... gulp! I cannot belive it! I have a KINDERGARTENER! The thought is scary- and tomorrow, it will be a reality!
The girls are keeping as busy as they can in this heat! It is so stinking hot. Too hot for anything really here in Cotulla. Even swimming is a huge tast- I have to get three bags of ice just to cool off the water enough to be luke warm- disgusting! Cannot wait to get back to San Antonio where the water is nice and cool.... ;-)
We are scheduled to close on our new home mid September. I pray that everything goes smoothly for us. We are all so excited and more than ready to be in a home of our own!
Hope you enjoy the pictures! :-)

Trying...

My beautiful Hailyn enjoying the boat.
My Ayla bayla loves the boat and was so excited about the minnows!
Daddy and his "Big" girls.
I asked them how excited were they to go fishing- and these were the faces they made!
Having so much fun at Grandpa Jacks and Grandma Carol's!
Ayla and Jaymlin!
Jaymlin and Hailyn giving Paisley a ride!
The girls having a blast at the Gustafson's for the day! They are the best of friends!

Ayla, Hailyn and Rosalyn role playing! The Doctor, The "hair cutter" and the princess ;-)
Paisley being cute!
Mommy and Hailyn
Things have been so crazy around the Haskins household as of recent. The kids are growing like weeds. I cannot believe I have a soon to be 5 year old and KINDERGARTNER!!! and an almost 4 year old and a busy body 14 month old. Things get pretty crazy around here.
We just recently took our first trip with all three children. They all did wonderful on the flights. I am so proud of them! We had a great visit in Minot, ND. The girls got to go on their first boat ride and fishing trip with Mommy, Daddy and Grandpa Jack! My dad sure enjoyed that! It is so nice to see him with the girls. Made me wish that we lived closer. A lot of our plans were squashed due to the devastating flood that has cost thousands of people their homes, including both of my grandparents. It is so sad. I wish there was more that I could do.
We are busy planning Ayla and Hailyn's Birthday party. I have decided to have a joint party this year since their birthdays are only a month apart. It will be the end of September since we have a beach trip planned for late August. I need to start getting things together for the party though. These things have a way of sneaking up on you-!
Here are some pictures from our trip and some recent from the last few months that I have been MIA! I am becoming such a bad blogger. In my defense, My laptop will not let me publish anything from blogger- I guess my software is too current? I am not sure. I hope the problem is resolved- if not, to the desktop I go to press "publish" :-)
