Britney Spears!

Last night, Colleen, Jaysen and I went to see BRITNEY SPEARS!! It truly was an amazing show! She performed almost everything from her "Circus" CD, but also performed some of her old stuff! There were circus performers before the show and Britney performed many magic and circus tricks herself! We had so much fun dancing and singing the night away! Here are a few pics from our night!




DUCKS!!!

What a Saturday! I was out back with the girls and Freddy was inside working. All of a sudden, Freddy runs out back and yells that there are ducks in our front yard! Of course I didn't believe him, but went out front anyway! This is what we saw!!! A mama duck and her 10 baby ducklings . . .amazing! Who knows where in the world these ducks came from . . .they were definitely lost and kept roaming the neighborhood . . .




Needless to say, the girls went crazy over the ducks. And, so did Freddy. He ran into the garage and brought out the little pool. He set it out front and tried to lour the ducks back into our yard by feeding them bread. Eventually they came back and got out somehow. Poor duckies . . .I don't know where they ended up. I even tried to call animal rescue, but could not get a hold of anybody! Quite an interesting afternoon! The girls were quite upset when the ducks finally left . . . hopefully they will find their way home.

A Sunday Afternoon!














Today was a busy, but fun day! This morning we took the twins to a carnival sponsored by the "Mother's of Multiples" group that I belong to. The girls got to jump in the bouncer, eat cotton candy and snow cones, and sit in a fire truck! It was hard to get pics though . . .I was always somewhere with one of the girls and Freddy was somewhere else with the other. After the carnival, we headed over to Paula's house. The girls were soooo excited to get to Nani's - not only was Nani there, but so was Dominick! Here are some pics from our afternoon . . .a fun time for sure!

Asleep - finally!

I had to post this picture of the girls . . .last night was a very rough night. It was one of those nights where the twins would NOT stay in their beds for anything! First they said they had to go potty a million times, then they wanted to be sung to a million times, etc., etc. Finally, they wanted to say "good night" to their big sister. So, I took them into Analisa's bedroom so that they could say "good night" to their big sis. Analisa asked me to please let them stay in her bed . . .at this point, I was ready for the twins to go to bed wherever! Layla and Lily both crawled into bed with Analisa . . .I figured this wouldn't last long so I walked out. The three of them were giggling together for quite a while! I thought I would "let things be" for about 30 minutes or so. After about half an hour, I walked in to Analisa's bedroom, and this is what I saw. It was really soooo cute - my three girls asleep together in one big bed. I let them sleep this way for a while, and then took the twins to their room. It was really very cute. . .will this become a habit???!! I don't think so . . .maybe they just needed to be together for a while. They really are growing up so fast so I have to remember these precious moments!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!!! We had such a busy day today . . .we hosted Easter at our house and were busy from early morning until late evening! The girls woke up early, as usual . . .and, they had to find the Easter baskets which the "Easter Bunny" hid for them as soon as they woke up! All 3 of the girls were so excited to find their baskets!! We had a fun morning together and then got ready for the rest of the family to join us for Easter lunch/early dinner. The girls had a great time hanging out with the family and hunting for eggs! I love the last pic of Lily "hugging" her new baby cousin . . .a beautiful day for sure . . . !

Layla, Lily and Analisa's new toy . . . .!

Why do we ever spend money on expensive toys? We always say that kids end up playing with so many things other than their toys. These pictures prove this to be true! We had left an ice chest outside and the girls asked Analisa to give them rides in the ice chest. They had soooo much fun riding around the yard!! I would have never guessed that my three girls would have so much fun with an ice chest! :)

Lisa and Megan at the Rascal Flats concert!

My friend Megan invited me to the Rascal Flats concert a couple of weeks ago!!! We had the most amazing time!! Jessica Simpson opened for Rascal Flats - crazy! She is truly an airhead! Rascal Flats put on an amazing show! Thank you, Megan, for inviting me out . . .I will never think of paleontologists in quite the same way . . . LOL! Love you tons!

Liliana had a little accident.......

Well, I would have never guessed it, but Liliana is the first out of the three cousins to have a cast put on. I thought for sure it would have been Dominick!!! LOL! She had a little accident after the big Cardinals game on Sunday. Freddy took her to urgent care and they thought her wrist had been fractured. They put a splint on her and a little sling . . .she kept calling it her "purse for her arm." :) I had to follow up with the pediatric orthapedic doctor. We were really hoping that we were overreacting, but no such luck. Lily has a fractured elbow and has to have a cast on for a few weeks. The doctors were so impressed by how well behaved Lily was during the entire visit. Lily didn't make a peep and was so extremely cooperative. Now, if it had been Layla, we would have probably have needed to sedate her to put a cast on! Lily is still as active as ever and is adjusting very well to her new little cast. Layla is taking very good care of her sister and kisses her little cast throughout the day. Layla has been sleeping with Lily lately......so cute. :)

THE HAASE'S CHRISTMAS, 2009

Well, Christmas has come and gone . . .but what a fun time it was!!! Analisa got almost everything she asked for . . .webkinz, Imagine DS games, Sing it for the Wii. Funny thing is she seems to be having most fun with her new sketch pad and colored pencils! :) The twins still didn't quite understand what was going on, but it was so much fun watching them open their gifts. Their favorite gifts were their new baby dolls, a karaoke machine and musical instruments!!! We spent Christmas Eve at Paula's house and were able to enjoy Christmas morning with Paula, Jenny, DJ and Dominick. Dominick got so many cool cars! It was tons of fun hanging out with all the kids Christmas morning. Freddy and I had such a great Christmas with our family this year and look forward to many more memories.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2009!!! Our family is very excited for this new year. We hope to do a little more traveling with the kids, celebrate a few birthday's (Analisa will turn 11 in May and the twins will be 3 in June!!), Freddy and I will celebrate our 4th anniversary in November (hopefully in San Francisco again!!) continue working hard and enjoy our family and friends to the fullest. We will also welcome a new nephew in late April/early May! One more cousin that the girls get to play with!! We STILL need to potty train the twins and hopefully they will begin preschool in August. I know this year will be very, very, busy but it will also be a year full of adventures and good times. We celebrated the New Year with Johnny and Del and the kids . . .what a great time we had!!! Of course I "fell asleep" before midnight, but I was woken up in time to ring in the new year. Here are a few pics from our New Year celebration!! We hope to celebrate again next year with the Carnelia's!!

We celebrated our 3rd Anniversary this month! We went to San Francisco - one of our very favorite places!!! We have a favorite Irish Pub that we LOVE to go to . . .it is also a piano bar - we love it! They didn't play Bon Jovi for me, but it was still a BLAST! Everything was great about our trip.
