John and I felt like the soon to be middle child needed a little attention. Although she is clearly ready for preschool and dance NOW she can't even go next year because of her age. She cries at dance lessons hoping to join the rest of the students and she wishes she could stay at preschool when I drop off Hailey. I told John that Kate was crying at Target next to the big girl bikes wanting one. John simply said, "I'm taking Kate on a Daddy/daughter date!" Hailey was a little hysterical so I told Hailey we would go on a Mommy/daughter date to the mall. Well, John won the Daddy of the year award when he and Kate walked in with her brand new bike. Kate loves it!!!! On the other hand, after I took Hailey to the mall and then she saw Kate with her princess bike she cried and said, "The mall was not very fun!" We are still trying to convince Hailey her bike is just as cool. I'm happy for Kate no matter what when I see her cute smile!

Hailey had a fun last day of preschool! The kids rode bikes in the parking lot and we had a picnic. Kate was allowed to come too!

Hailey wouldn't let go of her new unicorn (Thank you Nana Rigby)!



At the last minute Hailey went and grabbed her seven horses and wanted to show everyone. This girl is obsessed with horses/unicorns and dogs! This is Miguel she is standing with.

Yes we are having ANOTHER sweet baby girl! Although John will be severely outnumbered we are happy and excited. I guess I don't need to re-paint the pink room blue or buy any new outfits, (BUMMER) I am pretty well prepared in the girl department! She is measuring 4 days earlier so my due date is now September 21st. I feel huge already, I don't know how I am going to make it through a hot humid summer! Goodbye for now from the HOUSEFUL OF HEINER GIRLS!!!!!! (I think I need to change my blog name)

I am pretty obsessed with being organized lately. Maybe I am in the early nesting stages but I seriously open a drawer or a cabinet, see a mess, get frustrated, dump it out, and organize it. My office closet has bothered me for a while now. I am kicking myself that I didn't take a BEFORE picture but to put it simply, it was messy. Just like every closet in my home there are NO shelves! I wanted something different than the same wire shelves and frankly, I am not good with a hammer and nail. If you had seen what this closet looked like before you would understand why I am ecstatic right now. I feel like I just did an extreme home makeover to my closet. Posted by Melanie 7 comments
We were so lucky to have Arlene and John stay with us for a couple of days! Thank you Arlene for all of the amazing food and for making the girls so happy. Thank you John Sr. for going straight to work and making grow boxes so that we can start our little garden! We love and miss you so much!

Thank heavens to my sweet mom for coming out to visit and take care of me AND the kids while I've been sick. I had a miscarriage scare around 11 weeks which landed us in the emergency room and thanks to my mom we had someone to watch the kids during the drama! Although I was sicker than a DOG my mom of course cooked, cleaned and played with kids. I don't know what I would have done without her!!! Thank you Dad, Annie and Emily for sharing her with us for two whole weeks!

Banana cream pie to name just one of Nana's specialties!
My mom had to get a picture of the girls with their beloved Ranch dressing, a MUST HAVE in the Heiner home.
Hailey and Nana played princesses while I slept. Nana fixed Hailey's hair and even put a little bit of make up on her. Hailey was in heaven of course!








Thank you Nana for the awesome scooter and toys from our fun second hand store in Brownsburg! 

We went to Lafayette to our favorite indoor waterpark/hotel. 







Nana's cinnamon rolls.....amazing!!!


Hailey loved the new dress Nana bought her. Can you tell?
