The Houtz House: Liberty Park

Liberty Park

The day after the zoo Kristy and I took the kiddos to Liberty Park. They have a fun water feature for kids to play on, around, through, or by, as in the case of Hailey.

Run Hailey, run!

Wait, Hailey is running away from the water?

Ethan didn't want to play in it either. I think this is as close as he got.

(He's in the orange shorts, not the green shirt)

I like this picture cause I got Carly and Hannah in it.

Oops!

Carly got caught in the water when it turned back on.

I think she got the most wet out of all the kids!

Hannah and Carly taking a rest, from all the running away from the water!

This was Hailey after a little while. She's under the pink towel! Ethan was behind one of the strollers, so we let the kids play on the "normal" playground for a while.

Hailey loved the swings.

Ethan giving her a push, what a nice cousin!

The next day we went swimming with the kids and Dave, my brother, and Dan at the Cottonwood Heights Rec Center. We were able to walk cause it's just down the street from my parents. It was a lot of fun too. I forgot to take pictures. I wish I would have. That night we kept the kids up late to watch some fireworks, it was the 3rd of July after all, oh wait, the big fireworks day is the 4th that's right, anyway that was fun.

We had such a fun filled sunscreen wearing week! We had soo much fun. Thanks for playing with us Dave, Kristy, Ethan, and Hannah.

Hailey Quotes

"I love that autumn red on that tree!"
"Oh wow, that's great mom! That's a fumbs up!"
"I see a flag ahoy!"
When counting, Hailey gets to 13 just fine, it's on the way to 20 that's a little shaky, "thirteen, sixteen, nine-een, twenty!"
"Mom, when I grow big like you, I will have a big bum like you!"
"I QUIT"
Every night before I shut the door to the girls bed room Hailey says, "Mom, don't forget, I love you!"
"Salt and griniver chips are my favorite!"
"Double dratz."
Hailey, "I'm upset." Me, "How come?" Hailey, "Because I can't find my zebra." She was talking about a stuffed zebra, and she couldn't find it because it was in the other room!
Her new favorite saying, "Whatever!"
Hailey came out of her room after a "nap" (she didn't take one) and said, "Mom. I have a injury." Then she found the Pez dispenser that she got on Valentines Day and the candy that goes in it and brought it too me and said, "Candy makes me feel better!"
When we were driving home from the hospital the first day we were in Arizona Hailey said, "Look at all the jungle trees!" pointing to the palm trees. Then she said, "We're in the jungle."
"Come forth mom."
"Mom. I just love you."
"I look hungry."
Me, "Hailey what do you want for lunch?" Hailey, "Nuffin'. I don't want lunch. Just throw everythig away. I JUST WANT CANDY!"
Hailey, "Mom you're are crazy!" Me, "Oh, I am?" Hailey, "No. Just you are silly. I am crazy!"
"I don't will." That means, I won't.
Hailey talking to one of her barbies that fell on the floor, "Oh, it's okay sweetheart."
"I don't did do it." That means, I didn't do it.
"We need some more paper toilet." What she means is toilet paper, for some reason we can't get her to say toilet paper, it's always paper toilet!
"Good job. You're fast. You're quick!"
Again this one is singing. "...Teach me things that I must dude, to libe wit him taday."
Singing, "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeep!"
"I lub eh eh m's!" talking about MandMs
"It's just like perfect."
Hailey calls her bum her body! So she will say something like, "I hurt my body" and she will mean that she hurt her bum.
Hailey likes to add "ed" to words that already end in "er". So for example if the word is faster she will say, "fastered." Now, this can be a little embarrassing if people only hear the ending of the word, do you know what I'm saying?
One of my nick names for Carly is Peanut. So when Carly grabs something that she shouldn't, I take it from her and say, "That's not for peanuts." The other night I overheard Hailey talking to Carly and she said, "No, no, that's not for peanuts."
"I just want to scoop over by ya."
Instead of "peace out" she says, "kiss out!"
"On my board!" said like "all aboard!"
"Do you see that real cowboy horsey?"
This is how Hailey counts to 20: "one, two, three, four, five, six, seben, eight, nine, ten, eleben, twelve, orteen, fixteen, sebenteen, eighteen, eleben, twenty"
One day Hailey burped and I said, "Hailey what do you say?" and she said, "I burped." and I said, "No, what do you say?" and she said, "I burped liked a dog."
