soccer season is over!

Last weekend was Hailey's last soccer game. It was the first week of the entire season where the weather was not cold, windy, and miserable. After the game, her team had a little gathering where the girls enjoyed some cookies and juice, and were presented with their trophies.

outdoor fun!

We love the warm weather. Unfortunately, we haven't had too much of it here this spring. This has been one of the coldest spring times I can remember (which isn't saying too much, since my memory is terrible...), but this spring so far has been pretty yucky- weather wise!

We had some nice weather a couple of days this week, so we took advantage of it, and played outside. Hailey absolutely LOVES playing with her friends in the neighborhood! She likes to give them rides in her Jeep, and ride bikes, or just run around with them. She lets her friends have turns driving too...what a good friend!

It is funny when the Jeep gets stuck, she become a human tow...no need for a tow truck here (or help from Mom! *Also, notice the tongue hanging out of her mouth!)

She played a bit of frisbee with the neighbors too...but, I thought it looked a bit more like like shot put to me! Maybe some track and field is in her future?

March for Babies 2009

This year, I walked in the March of Dimes March for Babies again. I was joined by my family and good friends on Team Kaleb again this year. The weather was a bit unfavorable, but we still enjoyed ourselves, and walked in support of this great cause! Thank you again to my wonderful friends for their love and support!

Hailey's 4th Birthday Party!

And, a quick video clip...

spring snow storm

We got a lot of snow on Friday and Saturday. It was a very wet and heavy snow, and it accumulated quite a bit! Hailey wanted to help Tony shovel off the back patio, so she put on her rain boots, and her rain coat to help out.

Then, she decided that she wanted to play in the snow. So, back in the house we went to put on her snow suit! It was pretty funny watching her try to walk around in all of the snow! She kept falling down, and getting stuck!

Luckily, it is all starting to melt off already today. And, with temperatures in the 70's this week, it should all be gone soon! Thank goodness! We are ready for some warm spring-like weather 'round here! It is the middle of April, after all!

my baby girl is 4!

I can't believe that Hailey turned 4 yesterday! Where, oh where does the time go? It really seems like only yesterday that she was just my sweet baby girl. Now, she is 4! FOUR! Wow! It makes me a bit sad to think about it! She is growing up so fast!

We had a fun day together. We met our friends Tara, Bronwyn (and new baby brother Hayden) at Old Chicago for lunch. The waitress brought out an ice cream sundae for the girls to share after our meal was finished. They seemed to quite enjoy it!

Then, we played at their house for a few hours. Bronwyn has all kinds of fun toys, and Hailey always loves visiting her house, and playing with her!

That night we went to dinner. Red Robin, of course- Hailey's favorite! She had ice cream sundae #2 after dinner. Then, we headed home where we had a small cake waiting for her. She was really excited about the tiny cake, that was just for her! She did end up sharing some with Mommy and Daddy after she blew out the candles! She keeps talking about how she will have more cake at her party this weekend! She can't wait celebrate with her friends this weekend at her party!

other updates...

I have been terrible at updating our blog! So, I am just going to post a few pics of things that we have had going on lately to get caught up a bit...

A few silly days around the house...

A visit with the Easter bunny...
Trip to Monkey Bizness with friends...Hailey's soccer season started again. Practice was cancelled the first week due to our lovely springtime weather (and snow). So, on Saturday, practice was held- it was cold and miserably windy,but Hailey trooped through, and even had a little fun!
On Easter is rained the entire day...even though we had to hunt for eggs indoors (again...seems as though we haven't been able to hunt eggs outdoors in quite some time. Easter weather just never seems to be nice in Colorado), Hailey was excited to be able to deck out in her rain gear!

Luckily, the rain didn't stop the Easter bunny from paying a visit to our house... Hailey was thrilled to pull all the contents out of her bucket, throw them on the floor, and hunt for the eggs... (maybe next year, the bunny will just leave the bucket empty...all the easier to get started with putting eggs into!)
and, a few pics from when we colored eggs...
