Disney on Ice 2011

We decided (very last minute) to go to Disney on Ice again a few weeks ago. We joined our friends Tara and Bronwyn, and the Carnahan's for a quick dinner, and then headed down to the show. We had floor seats, only 3 rows from the ice, and I was freezing throughout most of the show (mostly because I wasn't feeling all that well. But, just in case, next time I will bring a thicker sweater!) We all had a fun time, and really enjoyed the show!

I love this pic! Here is Hailey at intermission (you can see the Zamboni in the background!) with her horse souvenir she had to have!
and, another thing she always has to get... strawberry dippin' dots ice cream!Hailey, Bronwyn & Tara before the show started

Hailey's Trampoline!

The weather has been decent (on and off, in true Colorado style) lately. So, one weekend, Tony decided to put Hailey's trampoline up. She and I had gone to a birthday party, and when we got back, Tony had it pretty much done. Hailey couldn't wait to get on and try it out!

We can't wait for it to warm up so we can spend more time on it! It's so much fun!

design on a dime office re-do!

I am happy to say, that things are finally coming together in the office. For those of you who don't know, I had originally painted the office dark, dark chocolate brown. After about 6 months of that, I couldn't handle the dark color anymore. So, in October, or so, I primed and re-painted the walls a light buttery yellow color. Much better! Then, my Dad helped Tony hang the crown molding to match the rest we put in last March.

Since we moved into this house, we have been on the hunt for office furniture that we like. I originally wanted the furniture to be espresso. But, back in the fall, we found this bookcase/file credenza, we fell in love with it. And, it only came in black. So, we have yet another room full of black furniture. :)

I have been using my white craft desk until I figure out what desk I want to buy (I have been going back on forth of a couple of different ones). I wanted it all to mesh in the office, so I just decided to paint the desk black, so it wouldn't stick out so much. Then, Tony cut me this piece of plexi to go on top to protect the surface! I love that I can tuck photos, and papers underneath, too!

Tony loved my "design on a dime" office re-do!

Primer for walls $20

Paint for walls $30

One room of crown molding $150

Paint for desk $25

Plexi glass $50

Saving your hubby hundreds of dollars (for now!) on a desk ... priceless!

I even re-purposed my black toile curtains that we used to have

in the family room at our old house!

I am still probably going to play around with the furniture placement. I might move the desk back out to the middle of the room, but for now, I am happy to show off my newly designed home office space! :)

Hailey's 1st marriage proposal...

Hailey's sweet little friend Brendan snuck this note into her backpack the week of Valentine's day. I was going through her papers that week, and saw this in there. She had no idea what it was. Then, she took it out and read it, and started blushing. For those of you who can't decipher the kindergarten writing, let me break it down for you...

Hailey will you

marry me

please

Brendan

Hailey asked him about it the next day at school. He got embarrassed and told her that she wasn't supposed to read the note until she was much older.

How sweet is that?! I can enjoy the kindergarten "romance," but something tells me that I won't be enjoying this kind of thing in 10 years or so. I have a feeling that we are in for a long haul of boy drama. I sure hope that the boy:girl ratio improves somewhat before that. Right now, it is about 4 or 5:1. 1 girl for every 4 or 5 boys. One of the other mom's in Hailey's class was cracking up over them in class the other day. They always hold hands while they sit on the carpet together. She told me that Brendan is a smart kiddo! He is staking his claim early on the prettiest girl in kindergarten (her words...not mine!)

Awwwwwww. Young love!

Sweet & Sassy Part 2

I took Hailey to get a Pampered Princess package at Sweet & Sassy last Friday.

She got a spa pedicuretoes paintednails painted
and, a cute hair-do. (I have no idea why, but I didn't take a pic of her hair.)

She absolutely loves Sweet & Sassy, and wants to go there all of the time. She was even considering having her birthday party there this year,
but she has since changed her mind so she can invite...BOYS!

Sweet & Sassy

Hailey has been needing a hair cut for a while. I like her hair when it's shorter, and it has been getting so long. So, we made an appointment at Sweet & Sassy. April wanted to get Tory's hair cut, too. So, they both had their hair cuts done at the same time.

At first, Tory wasn't so sure about letting the lady cut his hair. You can see him checking her out, wondering what the heck he is doing high up in that chair with a huge cloth covering him!She styled Tory's hair into a mohawk when she was done, and put some blue colored gel into it!Even Kaleb got his hair styled, since he was with us!
