snow fun

Hailey had fun playing in the snow that we got last week! I took her out and pulled her in her little blue sled up and down the street! We were considering taking the big sled out to the hills over by the high school, but then Hailey decided she didn't want to keep her gloves on. After grabbing some snow without gloves (even though I warned her not to...), she decided that she wanted to go inside! And, after listening to her cry the entire time I tried to get all of her snow gear off of her, I decided that we weren't going back out to go sledding!

Instead, we snuggled up on the couch with a blanket!

funny things kids say...

It has happened a few times lately...Hailey blurts out things in public that makes me want to run and hide...

On Saturday, we were sitting at lunch at a local pizza place. We were waiting for our pizza to come out, and killing some time by looking at things on the walls, and playing around a bit. A gentleman walked in to get a drink. While he was standing at the counter, Hailey yells out "Hey! Boys don't wear earrings!" I look up to see this giant man (seriously, he looked like a linebacker for a football team!) starting to turn towards us to walk to the soda machine. Then, she proceeded to point at him and repeat herself..."boys are NOT supposed to wear earrings! That's so silly!" I quietly told her that some boys do wear earrings, and tried to explain to her that it wasn't nice to point, or talk about people...

Then, yesterday we were at the Gap. While we were waiting for T0ny to finish checking out, Hailey and I walked up to the front of the store. She was looking out the windows at people walking around outside (we were at an outdoor mall). Then, she turned around and was playing around with some of the flip flops. Next thing I know, she is yelling out "why does that lady look so grumpy?!" I turned around, and said "what?" (which, by the way, is not the right thing to say at a time like that). So, of course she repeated herself, and said "that lady looks so grumpy...why?" As I glanced at "that lady," she did look quite grumpy...I am not sure how much of the grumpiness was brought on by Hailey and her comments, or if she just always looked that way. But, I did try to explain (while the lady was walking past us- out the door) how it wasn't good manners to talk that way.

There have been a couple of other similar occurrences lately. I find myself feeling a bit on edge now, when I out with her, not knowing what will come out of her mouth next! Kids just tell it like it is! They don't know any different...yet! But, we are working on it!

On a side note, Hailey has a new bike! She is all excited about her first big girl bike! She had to go out and ride it yesterday morning, pretty soon after she woke up!

(yes, she is still in her pajamas!)

weekend update

We had a very busy weekend! On Friday, we went to Lollilocks to get Hailey's hair cut. I am glad to say that there was no crying this time when they spritzed the water on her hair, and she even mildly cooperated to have her hair cut finished up! That is a big improvement from every other time we have had her hair cut, where she cries, or gets angry about them combing her hair! She was really excited to pick out the hairstyle after they finished up her cut! (see last photo...)

On Saturday afternoon, we went to see Disney on Ice. The show this time was called "Disneyland Adventures." Hailey really loved seeing all of the characters! Especially the princesses, and also, Buzz Lightyear, and of course Mickey & the gang (including Goofy)!

She is becoming a Disney dork, just like her mama!

On Sunday, we joined my family at my parents house for a family breakfast, and then we had a family bowling day planned...which, I found very odd. But, I went along with it, and thought it would be fun! As we got to the bowling alley, I started to get a feeling that something was up. Then, as Tony parked the car, I was pretty sure that I saw Tara's car, and then Barb's. So, then, I was almost positive that something was up. So, we walked into the bowling alley, and all of my wonderful friends were there. A surprise party for me! It was so nice of everyone! And, we had a lot of fun bowling for a couple of hours, and hanging out. They had made a cool photo prop that looked like a Polaroid photo. It made for some cute photo opportunities! We all had a great time, and I was so touched that they would all do something so nice for me! Thanks to all of my wonderful friends and family for pulling off this wonderful surprise for me!

Hailey ♥'s Goofy!

Tony went to Orlando this week for a business trip. Hailey was so excited that he was going to be in Florida, where "Mickey Mouse lives, and where Mickey's boat is!"

Every morning, she would wake up and ask me if Daddy was still where Mickey lived, or if Daddy had seen Mickey, or talked to him. So funny!

Anyhow, one night on the phone, she told Tony that since he was down where Mickey and the gang live, that she needed a new Goofy. She explained that her current Goofy had a hole in his leg, and therfore she needed a new one (which is true...her current Goofy has a small tear on his foot area).

So, of course, when Tony got home last night, she was looking for her Goofy. We played around for a minute, telling her that he didn't bring her a new Goofy.

But, of course, he had! She was so excited to open the bag and pull him out! She sat right down on top of his luggage, and hugged her new Goofy, and laughed and screamed with joy!

She l♥ves Goofy (& her Daddy!)

spoiled...

Hailey is officially spoiled...(I know, you are thinking, "she wasn't before?!") When the polish starts coming off of her nails, she will tell me that she needs to go to the nail salon to get them re-painted. I asked her the other day if I could just paint them for her, and she said,

"no thank you Mommy. I like the girls to paint them at the nail place."

Her new thing has been getting them to paint a flower on her big toe nail too.

And, this last time, she had flowers on her thumb nail as well.

I am blaming my mother for over-indulging her on this one!

~spoiled little princess~

She has a thing for wearing my sunglasses too.

This pic cracked me up, so I thought I would share!

As I laid in bed this morning, with the alarm going off, thinking that I still had an hour to sleep before Chris dropped Kaleb off... I realized that I forgot to change the alarm clock forward for daylight savings. So, instead of pushing the snooze button and snuggling back into the cozy bed, I had to hop out, right then. So, I grumbled a bit, and thought about how I hate daylight savings time, and fantasized about what it would be like to sleep for that extra hour. Then, thinking that wasn't the best way to start a Monday, I got dressed and started downstairs. When I peeked out the upstairs window, I saw this....

Someone obviously visited our neighbors across the street at some point during the night, and decided it would be fun to toilet paper their house... it was then that I decided that things could be worse! Yikes! That is definitely, without a doubt, a worse way to start a Monday! So, I will not feel bad about my lost hour of beauty sleep any longer...

(but, I still don't ♥ the "spring forward"!)

tara's baby .:sprinkle:.

Just some pics from Tara's baby shower/sprinkle that we threw over the weekend. My good friends Barb and Laura helped me put on a wonderful shower for Tara, and her new little boy on the way! We can't wait to meet little Hayden!

parties!

Last week 2 of our good friends had birthdays! it started off with Bronwyn's 2nd birthday bash. She had a sock hop birthday. It was lots of fun! All of the girls had poodle skirts, and the boys had white t-shirts with a guitar painted on the back. The kids had a great time dancing around to the 50's music, and playing in the photo booth! Hailey loved building her own ice cream sundae...and her favorite part- the cherries!

Then, on Wednesday, Braden had his 3rd birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. Hailey ♥ that place, and was so excited to go! She played all kinds of games, and went on a bunch of rides! She did stop for a minute or so, to have some pizza and watch Braden blow out his candles! Then, back to playing! She told me that she wants to have her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese now. (I am sure she will change her mind, as she keeps telling me she wants to have her party somewhere else all the time...)
