Our New Pool


Hayden LOVES splashing in his new pool


Hmmm I think we need to get him a pillow.
Ingrid arrived back to our house on Friday evening. Saturday we all got up early (except Hayden) to get ready to hit some garage sales. We were all up and ready to go and Hayden decided to sleep in until 9:00. It is a rare thing for us all to be up BEFORE Hayden.
We found a few things at the garage sales. Ingrid and Joey love garage sales and the hunt for the cheap perfect treasure! Then it was back home for lunch and a nap for Hayden. Joey went in to work for a few hours and Ingrid and Hayden went shopping. It was nice to have the house all to myself.
Sunday we went to church at an outdoor service. The weather was absolutely perfect for and outdoor service. After that we went to Kari's house to pick up Hayden's hat and beach towel we forgot there last week. We hung out for a bit and then grabbed a bite to eat.
Today we went to the splashpad with the neighbors. It was pretty chilly so we didn't let Hayden play around in the frigid water (much to his dismay). Then we met Ingrid's friend Liz and her son Avery at their favorite spot Maid Rite for supper. It was fun watching Hayden and Avery interact now that they are older.
It sure is nice having Ingrid here! She is such a take charge aunt. It is nice to have someone around to chat with all day and someone around that loves to play and help out with Hayden. I am definitely going to be spoiled this summer!!!!

Hi...I am Sara Knutson's friend and have heard a lot about you and Hayden. I just started checking your blog and Hayden is ADORABLE!!! What a doll! We have that same baby pool and my son, Tate (he's 9 months) loves it too!

Hi Jennie,
Good to hear from you! Sara told us Tate had this pool and loved it.
We have heard a lot about you as well. We will have to get the 2 little Hawkeyes (Tate and Hayden) together sometime!

I agree...I am sure our little Hawkeyes would have fun together! We actually considered Hayden for a name before we ended up deciding on Tate! :)

Funny! Tate is a doll. He is soooo cute! Hopefully we can all meet sometime this summer!
