Adam and Heather Hayes

It's been a busy few weeks for us! Erith started kindergarten after getting a cute new haircut by Aunt Jaleesa!

She feels very grown up and smart now that she rides the bus and has homework.

Tric had to wait till last week to start her second year of preschool at a lady in our ward's house. She loves it. She was very bored while Erith was gone to kindergarten so now she feels grown up for a couple hours three days a week. I send them to this preschool purely for social reasons. I've taught them everything they learn at this preschool before they start pretty much (colors, ABC's, numbers, a simple curriculum). But they love it and the teacher makes them a nice scrapbook each year packed with pictures so it's worth it to me for just that!

Poor Viola doesn't know what to do in such a quiet house while they're gone. She usually falls asleep! It make me feel kind of boring!

My girls have been very patient with a busy set of parents. We finished the shed and filled it with all our stuff with help from the whole family. Grandpa Stuart Purser has been coming over a lot to help us with our projects.We framed in the garage door hole when we put it on the shed and now we are wiring and soon to be insulating our old garage/new office. It is such a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it. Our poor kids waited in a shopping cart for 2 1/2 hours while we picked out lights for the new office. Then there wasn't enough room in the trunk for them so they held them on their laps! It made me remember hating to go to home improvement stores with my parents because I knew the ride home would be an uncomfortable one. (My dad didn't get a truck till after I was married so I usually had 2X4's pressed up against my cheek in the mini van! Good times!)

Anyway, besides getting the office done Adam has to have 3 websites done for a land developer before the Parade of Homes which is... Thursday. Plus all the millions of others that wish they could be done that soon! It's been a juggle we aren't used to doing but we can do it! I just hope we find some good interns once the big office is done because, I am a lousy website assistant! I get tired and cramped quite fast! Yes Adam, I do appreciate you!

Well, Adam just told me in a frenzied voice that there is a skunk in the old garage/office, so I'm off to try to get it out! Wish me luck!

The girls have been really looking forward to this day, and the family night before Easter is finally here! The day we paint Easter Eggs (or dye them I should say!)

Vi had a fun first time dying eggs. There was a colorful puddle in front of her, and she cracked one. She tried to eat it with most of the shell still on, yummy.

As you can see I am eight months pregnant and looking forward to April 23rd. That is the day of my scheduled c-section. I also have a new haircut, compliments of my sister Jaleesa! Yes, I chopped it, and highlighted it, and I love it!

If you would like to see more Easter Egg pictures check out our image gallery! (Button at the top of the site.)

Tricity and I were not enjoying the morning de-tangle of hair anymore and so we thought she should get a haircut. 

The problem is, Adam likes LONG hair on girls.  He did not support the haircutting plan.  I knew he REALLY wouldn't support the Locks of Love amount of hair, so... we did it on April Fool's Day without telling him!

When we got home I told Tric to tuck her hair in her coat and go up to Adam and say "I have the longest hair in the family" and then flip her hair out and say "April Fool's".  He told me "That wasn't funny" immediately after that; but, I think it's grown on him.  He drops compliments about it occasionally. 

I think it's cute, and 10 inches less of it to go through each morning is AWESOME!  I hope Locks of Love makes a beautiful wig for a little girl with cancer with it.  Three of Adam's sisters have donated hair to that cause, and now Tric has joined the club.

Well, it has begun, no turning back now!

We salvaged some tile and a bunch of the old stuff for Adam's parents' addition.

Then everything got ripped out, sheetrock around the tub, carpet, the top layer of floor, toilet, vanity, cabinets, and in a quick timely manner I must say!

Bye, bye carpet! (You can kind of see Vi's haircut above)

Bye, bye blue porcelain. 

Our remodelers are quick and thorough.  We are very pleased with how it's going.

Well, this is as ugly as it gets so, all the pictures from here on will just get prettier!
