FUN!

We joined our good friends (Tara, Bronwyn & Hayden; Barb, Kaitlin & Zoey) for a drop in gymnastics class this week. Hailey had so much fun! Her favorite thing was the trampoline! But, the bounce house with the slide was a close second.

We can't wait to go back again for more fun with our friends!

Mother's Day 2010

My gifts from Hailey (& Daddy)

Hailey made me a bookmark at preschool for Mother's Day. She used her fingerprints to make a cute flower, and then it says,

"I love when Mommy takes me to the outlets and gets me dippin' dots!"

I guess that was the best she could come up with when asked what her favorite thing about me was?!? Ha!

We had a nice lunch as a family, and even spent some of the day outside planting flowers and working outside on some landscaping (the warm spring weather is taking forever to get here, and we haven't had many nice, warm days yet!)

Hailey liked helping Tony pound the edgers in!

We joined my family for dinner after our afternoon of planting and working outside to celebrate all of the special Mother's in our family! We had a very enjoyable day!

Hailey & Kaleb...

enjoying a treat together!

Sweet Moment!

I just had to share this sweet photo. Hailey rocked her baby cousin Tory to sleep the other day. She was whispering "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to him while she gently rocked him on her lap. Those of you who know Tory, know that he fights taking naps! So, my sister and I were shocked to see that he actually settled in with her and fell asleep! What a sweet moment!

Hailey's 5th Birthday!

I can't believe that another year has come and gone, and that our baby girl is 5 years old! Such a big girl now! We celebrated her actual birthday with lunch at Red Robin (her pick, of course!) She told the hostess right away that it was her birthday, and then when our server came to the table she told her too! It was pretty funny to see her so excited about it! After lunch, we headed to the new American Girl doll store at Park Meadows. It opened a few weeks ago, and Hailey has been begging to go. We thought it might be a special thing to do on her birthday. She was so excited when we saw the actual store, and was running over to it. I had to get her to stop so I could take a photo before we went in!

She had so much fun once we were inside. She was checking everything out, and trying to buy everything she could get her hands on! We helped her make her decisions, which included a new wagon for her Bitty Babies, and a few outfits (including some birthday outfits for her twin dolls. They needed to be able to attend her birthday part the next day in style!) She also got a new doll bunk bed set complete with trundle so all 3 of her babies can sleep together now! She has been asking for doll bunk beds for a while now, so she was so excited when we received them, and got them all put together. She loves putting her dollies to bed each night in their own beds!

We enjoyed a great family day celebrating our little girl turning 5! It is hard to believe that not that long ago she was just entering our lives on that amazing day in April. We have had so many wonderful times, and made so many fabulous memories as a family. We know we have so many more ahead of us! We can't wait to experience them together. Tony and I both feel so incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to parent such an amazing little girl! She is definitely a sassy little thing, and keeps us on our toes, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

We love you so much sweet Hailey! Happy 5th Birthday!
