The Three Musketeers!

Fun in Krogers!

2010-10-27T21:17:00.001-04:00

While Hailey was at her American Heritage Girls meeting, Sissy and I ran to the grocery store to do some shoppin'!
Here is Sissy as Shrek and Creepy Scream guy!

SISSY FINALLY CAN DO IT!!!

2010-10-27T21:04:00.001-04:00

Proof that 2 monkeys live at my house!
Hailey has been teaching sissy how to climb in the hallway and she was soooo excited when she finally figured it out!
WAY TO GO SIS!

Look mom no hands!

"Ok Sissy do you get it?"

Not really sure if legs are suppose to bend like that!

She did eventually make it to the light!
Hailey was so proud!

FUN WITH THE WEBCAM!

2010-10-18T02:07:00.000-04:00

The girls and and I just decided to stay in tonight and goof off at the house! I love those days!

LOVE THIS!

creepy negative picture!

2010-10-18T02:04:00.000-04:00

My Alien child!

So you thought I had a big mouth before....
lol.

Like mother like daughter!

2010-10-18T02:02:00.000-04:00

The American Heritage Girls!

2010-10-18T01:52:00.000-04:00

Just in case no one has heard of The American Heritage Girls, it is a christian based organization that is like the Girl Scouts but believe in God as a priority. It is for kids who are in grade school and what I love about it is that the older kids take the younger kids under their wing and help mentor them. Hailey and Sissy absolutely love it and even though sissy is only 4, they have included her in just about everything! The following pictures are of Hailey and all of the girls getting inducted into the group.

The candle represents the light that Hailey needs to be to the world who does not know God!
I so proud of her!!!

The Pledge!

2010-10-18T01:45:00.000-04:00

Of course there is a pledge that all members must say and live by and the part that I love about this one is their dedication to God, community and their country!

Take it in and live it out!

2010-10-18T01:43:00.000-04:00

The song "Take it in and Live it out" is one of the girl's favorite church songs. It just happens to be the one that the AHG are performing in a couple of weeks and Sissy wanted to go up and help lead the motions! I was so proud of her because if you know sissy she can be somewhat clingy to me! She had no problems doing this though!

The pumpkin patch!

2010-10-18T01:39:00.000-04:00

The American Heritage Girls!

The barrell train!

2010-10-18T01:32:00.000-04:00

Proof that a six foot woman can fit into a barrell car
(just in case you were wondering! lol)

The Corn field maze!

2010-10-18T01:24:00.002-04:00

This corn field was huge and took us 3 times to make it to the finish. There is a map posted right before you entered and it was still really hard.

Yay WE MADE IT TO THE END!

Pumpkin painting!

2010-10-18T01:21:00.000-04:00

I was pretty proud of my masterpiece! And if you were wondering what the pink things on the top were they are pink flamingos.

Hailey concentrating!

Cheeeese!

Face Painting!

2010-10-18T01:14:00.000-04:00

I tried to get Sissy to say cheese but she didn't want to mess up her beautiful paint job!
Too funny!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!
ADORABLE!

2010-10-18T01:09:00.000-04:00

Sissy wanted to go on this barrell ride again. This time by herself.

Delaney and Hailey
What cute kitty cats!

Who knew candy corn had such cute faces!

THE WORKS!

2010-10-18T01:05:00.000-04:00

The Works is a hands on science musuem for kids. The girls absolutely love going there!

How many mice can you see?

I use to play with this same magnet man (just a smaller version) in church all of the time. I thought it was cool they had a bigger version of it and Sissy loved it!

The girls playing with stamps.
The other little girl is Delaney, one of Hailey's good friends who was in her Kindergarten class last year.

2010-10-18T00:57:00.000-04:00

Hailey loves to build and create!

Sissy drawing with light

My little Dr.!

Hailey figured out how to a complete a circuit with a switch, batteries, a light and a fan. This was a pretty cool project for her and she understood exactly what was going on. I love the way her mind works!

FREE TO A GOOD HOME!

2010-10-14T00:47:00.000-04:00

The girls and I have taken in a stray cat that Hailey so proudly named Panther (her/my school mascot). Well apparently panther is a girl because a couple of weeks after adopting her she had kittens. The girls were away in July while they were newborn but they came back to find 3 little kittens running around. They were so excited!! All of these cats live outside (most of the time. lol) but I would love to give them all away if anyone is interested. I will probably end up keeping the cat that Hailey has in her scooter because the girls absolutely love him but the others must go!!! Please let me know if anyone is interested! They are really cute and have really pretty markings!

Momma and her babies!

Hailey and Fluffy!
Hailey is so gentle with him.
Sissy on the other hand......
(you be the judge. lol)

Fluffy in the scooter! He is just along for the ride!

THE ROYAL TEA PARTY!!

2010-10-14T00:38:00.000-04:00

A couple weekends ago, the girls and I dressed in our princess dresses and headed to a Royal Tea Party!
We had so much fun with about 200 other girls from our church! Hailey looked so grown up and I actually cried when she walked around the corner in her dress. And Sissy looked adorable too!
What an amazing time we had!!

Sissy's attempt at fish lips!

This is so Sissy! LOVE IT!

Kissy lips!

Fish lips!

2010-10-14T00:31:00.000-04:00

Daddy and I!

My friend Kathy and Dad!
The height difference cracks me up!

So adorable!

Sissy being Sissy!

SISSY PLAYING SOCCER!!

2010-10-14T00:20:00.000-04:00

Sissy is finally getting to play soccer this year! She has wanted to ever since her sister started playing 3 years ago. Sissy is fast and aggressive with the ball and does an excellent job.....if you can keep her focused long enough! lol.

maneuvering the ball past Shawna!

Foot stop!

Making sure she doesn't use her hands!

MY BABY'S IN FIRST GRADE!!!!

2010-08-28T00:37:00.000-04:00

She is sooo BEAUTIFUL!! Just look at her radiating! lol.

Goodbye hugs for Sissy!

Awww so cute!

MY NEW OFFICE!!!

2010-08-28T00:29:00.000-04:00

My boss just bought a new building and gutted the entire inside to make us all beautiful offices. Katy(my boss) and I have spent the entire last 2 weeks putting up beautiful artwork and making everything so homey and comfortable. She says that she wants us to love to come to work and she accomplished that goal! I love my job and my new office!

Isn't my leather zebra box the coolest? its purpose: my shredding box.

A casualty of the storm!

2010-08-17T23:31:00.000-04:00

Several weeks ago there was a huge storm that happened in the middle of the night. The thunder was very loud and the lightening was constant. At 6:00 am. I hear someone banging on my door. I jump up to answer it and one of my neighbors is standing there and he tells me that he looked over and saw our huge beautiful tree that is in our front yard on fire near the electric wire. Luckily it had rained and no other damage was done than the branch below but it still freaked me out a little! Thankfully, God kept us safe!

Pics on the wall....FINALLY!

2010-08-17T23:21:00.000-04:00

My decorations are finally up!
Thanks to my friend Jon who gave me these gorgeous pieces of art!

I finally have personlized my home with beautiful black and white pics of my WONDERFUL friends and family!
And of course my 3 favorite words and the words I try to live out on a daily basis: Faith, Hope & Love!

THE REUNION!!!

2010-08-17T23:13:00.000-04:00

Biiiiig hugs for momma!

Sissy held me so tight! She did not want to let go and I didn't want to let go!
I just missed them soooo much!

I missed their smiles and laughter!

Hailey's smile was minus a couple of teeth!
1 she lost and 1 Sissy kicked out while they were wrestling!

Outside fun!

2010-08-17T22:44:00.000-04:00

Sissy cracks me up! For some reason she though she was getting a better angle by doing this!
too funny!

What a nut!

My Odie!
Kind of a funny story with this. Hailey looked at it and thought it was Fenius from Fenius and Ferb a cartoon that's on now. Fenius has a very pointy head and I can see where she got that! Oh how times have changed! lol.

YAY Sissy is now registered for soccer this fall. she is already outside practicing and is sooo excited!
I think she'll do AWESOME!!!
She is very quick and directs the ball very well!

Sissy doing "homework!"

2010-08-17T22:38:00.000-04:00

Diblasio Wedding!

2010-08-17T22:36:00.000-04:00

THE CEREMONY!

My friends Chad and Melissa just tied the know this past weekend.
It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding.
Melissa has 2 children, Lennon and Grayden, who I have in Sunday school. They walked with Chad down the isle and then when it was time for Melissa to make her appearance they walked her in and gave her away. It was the sweetest thing!
I was honored to be apart of their beautiful day and am so priveledged to be a part of their lives!

The festivities!

2010-08-17T22:29:00.000-04:00

First Dance!

The Cake! Oh yeah they got messy!

This is a little blurry but I just loved it of sissy!
So precious!

The garter!

2010-08-17T22:09:00.000-04:00

The girls and I with the BEAUTIFUL bride, Melissa!

Gettin' d0wn on the dance floor!

Sissy and I! You'll have to escuse my hair! This is after much dancing!

Fun in the pool!

2010-08-17T22:02:00.000-04:00

The girls absolutely love their new pool! They ask to swim in it everyday. Just 2 days ago we were swimming and it started to sprinkle and we stayed and played....until we heard the thunder!

They get along so well in the pool!

A good game of noodle fighting!

2010-08-17T21:59:00.001-04:00

My toothless girl!

Just chillin'!

I love that smile!

Hailey is quite the swimmer!

Chuck- E- Cheese!

2010-06-11T01:20:00.000-04:00

Last weekend Melissa and I decided to take the kiddos to Chuck E Cheese for a day of fun!

The roller coaster ride!
The Chuck E Cheese that we visited, had just finished totally revamping the place with all new games and playground. So now its going high tech with the game that you see below. The kids absolutely loved this game. It is a simulator that takes you on a roller coaster and flying through the air and as you go up and down or bump into something, the chair moves and vibrates. It was definitely their favorite!

Sissy and Blake first discovered the fun!

As they are on the ride there is a camera on their faces so that we can see their reaction. It was so much fun to see their smiles and hear their laughter!

Hailey getting in on the fun!

2010-06-11T01:08:00.000-04:00

Layla is just so adorable!

Sissy was getting really into this!

Hailey playin' some ski ball! My favorite!

Blake and Hailey playing the games

The girl's flower pots!

2010-06-11T01:03:00.000-04:00

I am doing a new rewards system with the girls. We went to Hobby Lobby and picked out flower pots and flowers. The girls got to paint their own flower pots with all sorts of colors and put colored marbles in the bottom. Whenever the girls do something nice for one another or me without being asked (e.g. cleaning room or helping one another) they receive a pretty daisy that they can put into their flower pot. Once they reach 10 flowers they get to do something special by themselves w/ mommy. Of course they can also lose flowers by being mean or talking back! They've been very into cleaning now which has been awesome! Yesterday morning Hailey even did her laundry.
The power of a flower!!!

Look at that concentration

Sissy's favorite color is blue so of course that was the dominent color to her flower pot!

Hailey didn't like the orange color of her pot so she painted it white! She did such an amazing job and it turned out so cute as you will see below!

2010-06-11T00:48:00.000-04:00

Bridal show at the horseshoe!

2010-06-11T00:40:00.000-04:00

On Sunday, the girls spent the day with their Aunt Melissa and Uncle Keith while I went to as huge bridal show with Starla and Gary. There were hundreds of vendors from all over Ohio advertising their services and products . Probably the coolest thing to me was being in the OSU horseshoe (stadium) on the floor that only media correspondents and very rich people go to. It was beautiful and had amazing views of the field. I had alot of fun tasting cakes, candy, food, and mints and getting a major sugar rush! lol.

Every vendor had some type of contest going and you had to fill out a piece of paper to enter. At this one, there was a contest for the friend of the bride so I got to fill it out...on Starla's back! lol. oooo I hope I win!

Starla and I in the groom's suite overlooking the Horseshoe! Very luxurious!

The OSU football field! What AMAZING seats huh?

After getting back, we had dinner at Starla and Gary's and the kids took in a movie!

Hailey's art show!

2010-05-22T23:56:00.000-04:00

At Licking Valley they have an art show where all of the parents get to come and see all of the art our kids made during the year. It was alot of fun to see Hailey's beautiful art and she was soooo excited to show us!

2010-05-22T23:53:00.000-04:00

Hailey made this beautiful clay rock. They learned to shape it and put it in a Kiln to harden it. She was very proud! They also put a bell in it so it rattles. Good job Baby!

Hailey's Jr. olympics!

2010-05-22T23:48:00.000-04:00

A couple of Saturdays ago Hailey had the Jr. Olympics for her school. She was signed up for the softball throw, 50 & 75 m runs. It was about 40 deg. that day though and was freakin' cold. Hince all of the coats!

Sissy waiting patiently for Hailey's running events!
This cracked me up! It was freezing on this day and we all sat in the car with the heat on in between Hailey's events. Well, Hailey was getting bored and decided to dribble her soccer ball around in this field and Sissy got her chair to watch. Hailey came back to the car and just left sissy out there and Sissy had no idea she left. Hailey thought this was hilarious !

Role call for the softball throw!

Go Hailey Go!!!
Look at that form!

Hailey's new talent!

2010-05-22T23:37:00.000-04:00

I can't remember if I blogged this before but Hailey is getting even better at this so these pics were definitely worth adding. Hailey now climbs up to the ceiling in the hallway. Its pretty cool to watch! I like the last pic of Sissy trying to do it. She still hasn't figured it out but its so cute to watch her try!

Hailey's creativity!

2010-05-22T23:31:00.000-04:00

Sometimes Hailey just gets these neat art ideas all by herself. This time she cut holes in the bottom of these plastic bags for leg holes and put the handles up over her shoulders. She even made one for Sissy! It was so funny!

Hailey cutting the holes!

The finished product! LOL.

Awww Sisterly Love!
What cuties!

Just chillin' at the house!

2010-05-22T23:25:00.000-04:00

Oh the things that the girls will come up with!

"Coach yellow pants!"

2010-05-07T23:39:00.003-04:00

The girl's new sandbox!!

2010-05-02T00:22:00.000-04:00

Just this past week I come home from work on a nasty rainy day, before the girls were home. I look out my back door and saw my dad in the rain building a sandbox. I opened the door and asked him what the heck he was doing in the rain and he said " I will do anything for my grand daughters!" to which I proceeded with: "mom made you do this didn't she?" LOL. They have talked about building a sandbox for the girls for awhile and about two days later it was beautiful outside so we decided to unveil to them then. They were soooo excited! Mom and Dad even bought them a ton of sand toys including 2 dump trucks!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM AND DAD!

The girls just spotted it for the first time!

In case your wondering what the triangles of wood are....That is my dad being funny!
He said it was his contempory art!
Another really cool feature are these corner seats they can sit on!

unveiling the toys in a very nice storage bin (that's definitely my mom for you! lol)

2010-05-02T00:14:00.000-04:00

Icing cookies....again! lol

2010-05-01T23:41:00.000-04:00

Ok so most of you know that our favorite pastime is icing cookies. Well, on this day there was no special occasion or no where we had to be so we spent the after noon decorating and eating icing and cookies! Yuuuummm!
I love the pastel colors!

The Park!

2010-05-01T23:36:00.000-04:00

Sissy loves to go really really high! She is still pretty fearless. It's funny to watch the faces on other moms because of how high I push her!

The sand!

2010-05-01T23:33:00.000-04:00

The tire swing!

2010-05-01T23:31:00.000-04:00

They did this thing with their legs themselves.
Too cute!

They LOVE to go high and spin really fast.
Crazy girls!

HAPPY BELATED EASTER!!!!

2010-04-10T01:42:00.001-04:00

Right after church we were invited out to the girl's Great Grandma Gladys's house for a DELICIOUS Easter dinner. It was a gorgeous day for an Easter egg hunt and fellowship with family!!

Sissy, Hailey, and Blake goofing around!
COUSINS!!!

The Easter Egg hunt!

2010-04-10T01:32:00.000-04:00

While we were all inside, Keith hid eggs for the kiddos and they had a great time looking for all of them!

Uncle Keith giving some hints on where some of the eggs may be hidden. LOL.

She found one!

Awww how cute! Blake helpin' Sissy out!

THANK YOU AUNT LANI!

2010-04-10T01:27:00.000-04:00

Even though Aunt Lani couldn't be with us for Easter she still left wonderful baskets for all of the kids. Aunt Lani is truly one of the sweetest women I know and we just absoloutely LOVE her to death! Thank you so much for the baskets Aunt Lani!
We Love you dearly!

Blake and his candy teeth!

Sissy looking at all of her goodies!

Yummy homemade chocolate covered pretzels!

Great Grandma helping Hailey with the packaging!

Easter at the Weaver's!

2010-04-10T01:15:00.000-04:00

The girls enjoying their dinner outside on mom and dad's deck!

Sandra and Kendra brought over this beautiful cake!

The Atl Atl competition!!

2010-04-10T01:12:00.000-04:00

Ok for those of you who don't know what an Atl Atl is. Indians used this device years ago to throw spears with force. So of course my mom and dad have about 5 and about 10 spears. Ok to most people that may be weird but to my family? Completely normal!! LOL.
We then proceeded to have a demonstration from dad (below) and then a competition.

Hailey trying it out!

Dad setting Sissy's Atl Atl up with a spear.

Way to go Sissy! What form!!!

2010-04-10T00:57:00.001-04:00

Heather taking a stab at it!
What great form!

Dad explaining the technique...again!

Now this is freakin' hilarious! Alyssa found this bathing suit on a baby doll and decided to put it on. My mom then said that it actually use to be mine when I was little. Well it definitely looks a little small on Sissy! Too cute!

The Amazing Easter Egg Hunt!

2010-04-10T00:50:00.000-04:00

While we were at Gladys's house, Aunti Claudia and Uncle Bob came to Mom's house, and ours right next door, to hide Easter eggs. There were so many places to hide them and it was definitely a fun challenge for the girls! They had sooo much fun!

READY
GET SET
GO!!!!!!!

Aunti Claudia
I just love this picture of her!

Hailey and Papa

2010-04-10T00:39:00.001-04:00

Aunt Claudia and Uncle Bob get very creative with hiding the eggs. This time they outdid theirselves. Hailey saw something within this huge pile of branches and wanted to get them herself so she climbed, in her Easter dress, inside to get them. What she found was a whole package of 12 Peeps. She was sooo excited. She thought she hit the jackpot! Of course her legs were all scratched up but she could careless because the payoff was great! lol.

Heather helping Sissy get an egg!

2010-04-10T00:30:00.000-04:00

I definitely taught my babies well! They both had their own basket carriers.
Too funny!

Uncle Seth and Hailey

Kendra, Sissy, and A. Claudia

Sissy handing her egg to Sandra

Hailey's loot!

2010-04-10T00:19:00.000-04:00

Seth and Hailey counted her eggs and she had 30. Not bad but Sissy did get a little more. I thought it funny because they are so
competitive and this time Sissy won! However, in Hailey's defense she worked the hardest for hers and found most of them by herself. Sissy had quite a bit of help! Way to go Hailey!

Sissy's Loot!

2010-04-10T00:12:00.000-04:00

Sissy counted all of her eggs with Uncle Seth and she found a total of 53 eggs. That is a heck of alot of eggs...and candy! lol.
She was so excited!

My little princess!

2010-04-10T00:07:00.000-04:00

I now have this new camera that you can draw on and add cool little affects to. The girls like to play with it and add their own designs. This was Sissy's creation! lol.

To the movies we go!!

2010-03-11T14:20:00.000-05:00

I decided to take Hailey to go see the movie Alice and Wonderland in 3D. Sissy stayed at home with my mom and our friend Carrie came along with us. It was a fun girl's day out and Hailey absolutely LOVED the movie. I think it was so neat for her to see the images in 3D. It made it even more realistic for her and she felt like she was in the movie. One time she stuck her hand out to try and grab the butterfly! This was so much fun for all of us!
The shots below were taken right before it started. We got there really early and had awesome seats so we had some time to kill! lol.

2010-03-11T14:15:00.000-05:00

Love it!

She just cracks me up!
Oh yeah we're cool!

Peace out!

Not really sure what she's doing here! lol

FFF night!

2010-03-11T13:07:00.001-05:00

Last Saturday we resumed our monthly FFF (Family, Food, and Fun) night. I just love getting together with my fam. We are so crazy when we get together and it is just non-stop laughing and fun!

Sandra and Cheryl are cousins and are so funny when they get together!

Too funny!

Proud Grandpa!

2010-03-11T13:03:00.000-05:00

I just LOVE these shots below of dad and his granddaughters. You can tell that he is just so proud of them!
Not to mention just how beautiful they all are!!

Dad and Zoe

Addy, Dad, and Zoe

Sissy, Addy, Dad, Hailey, and Zoe!
Of course he misses the youngest and oldest granddaughters he doesn't get to see!
We love and miss you Eloise and Chelsey!

Heather and I!

2010-03-11T11:11:00.000-05:00

Heather and my brother have been dating for like 9 years now and she is definitely a part of our family! I consider her my sister and we just love her to death! We are so lucky to have her in our lives!

Nice tutu Heather...oh wait I mean vail! lol

This glove was just funky. Do you see something wrong with the thumb?

Sissy's World!

2010-03-11T11:06:00.000-05:00

Sissy's imagination is a wonder to me. In the following pics she was pretending that her play pager was a TV and she was watching shows on it with Uncle Bob and Aunt Claudia. The more they got into it the more it just cracked her up. She has such a wonderful imagination and sense of humor.

2010-03-11T11:01:00.000-05:00

My goofy Dad!

My beautiful little princess!
Addy did a great job doing her hair!

My little monkey.
Hailey has always loved to climb things so at G-ma's house she thought she'd try the hallway and she did it!

Sissy loves her Uncle Wes!

Clay's Cafe!

2010-03-11T10:56:00.000-05:00

Last Friday Starla, Gary, the girls, and I all went out to eat at this really yummy "mom and pop" place called Clay's Cafe! They had delicious Stromboli and ice cream. And they have a ton of games the girls could get down and play while waiting on their food. We had a great time!

Starla and Gary

Sissy is just to darn cute!

Hailey refusing to smile! What a nut!

Message to my Facebook friends.....

2010-02-25T20:43:00.002-05:00

I did give up Facebook for Lent. I do however have a blogsite that I post pix of the girls on that is linked to my FB which is how I am getting this message to you! lol. I have not been on facebook and it has been very freeing. I do however have people all over the U.S. that like to keep up with the girls so I try to post pix when I can. Just thought I'd let you kno that i have not given up and my quest has been very successful so far! Love and miss you all!!!

GIRLS GLITTER & GRACE!

2010-02-25T10:04:00.000-05:00

For Christmas Aunt Kim and Uncle Dave bought the girls gift certificates to our new favorite place Girls Glitter & Grace! This is where I had taken Sissy for her B-day and ever since Hailey has wanted to go and Sissy wanted to back.
The girls had so much fun being pampered and dressing up like little princesses. They finished their day with a tea party!
Thank you Aunt Kim and Uncle Dave!
It was an unforgettable experience for them and me!!

Grace the owner thought of absolutely everything to make any little girl feel so special!
She is truly a sweetheart and a wonderful christian woman!
Thank you Grace, Breanna, and Megan!

Sissy as Snow white!
Too precious!

Hailey just looked so beautiful!

Making lip gloss and bubble bath!

2010-02-25T09:55:00.000-05:00

Not only do the girls get to dressup, get their hair, makeup and nails done, but they also get to make their choice of lip gloss, bubble bath, body scrup, and lotion. They choose their own fragrance, color and color of glitter. Very cool!
Hailey chose to make lip gloss and Sissy chose bubble bath!

our favorite color orange with watermelon lip gloss!

And blue for cotton candy lip gloss!

Sissy was so proud of her bubble bath and it was so sparlky and colorful!
Good job Sis!

The nails and makeup!

Grace, the owner, makes the girls feel so special. She paints their nails and then sprinkle glitter on each one.

What a beauty!!

Grace doing Hailey's makeup!

my BEAUTIFUL Princesses!!!!

2010-02-25T09:41:00.000-05:00

OMG she looks so grown up! I tell her constantly how beautiful she is and that she will never need to wear makeup, but the girls still love to play dress up so I guess it's ok every once and awhile! LOL!

simply breathtaking!

The Hair!

2010-02-25T09:32:00.000-05:00

Hailey was so worried about messing up her fingernail polish. Too funny!

She sat so still the whole time!

Sissy on the other hand.....
WIGGLE WORM!

Of course they had to be creative because Sissy's hair is so short! They even sprayed glitter on it to make it sparkle!

The tea party!

2010-02-25T09:29:00.000-05:00

The girls got to enjoy yummy pink lemonade and a cupcake!

They were even served like little princesses!

Hailey's ankles just cracked me up. She was so poised and proper. I had never seen her like this and proabably never will again! lol.

2010-02-25T09:27:00.000-05:00

My little Princess

Sipping her tea!

Crossing her legs!
Hailey acted like such a little lady! It was so cute!

My makeover! LOL!
Ok so we had come straight from the gym (hince the hair and clothes) but I had to try on Sissy's new headband!

Dressing up in Mommy's dresses!

2010-02-15T19:22:00.001-05:00

LOVE this picture!

Cracking herself up....as usual!

These last two pictures are "Hailey's photography".
She set up her own photoshoot in her room with Sissy!

2010-02-15T19:19:00.000-05:00

OMG what a cutie!

Jumping in mommy's dress on mommy's bed. What is better than this? lol

When I ask Sissy to carry something she always tells me "mom I can carry it because I'm tough!" So this is her "tough" picture!
What a little nut!

2010-02-15T19:14:00.000-05:00

Too cute!

Sisterly love!
They are soooo beautiful!

Hailey just loved dressing up in my dress.
I think she looks so grown up here!

Oh Sissy....You make me laugh!

HAILEY'S BOUTIQUE!

2010-02-06T21:34:00.001-05:00

Well since we are having the "Blizzard of 2010" outside we decided to have some fun inside. From makeovers to smoothies to movies we had one fun filled day!!!
I just enjoyed playing with the girls and relaxing at the house!
It's sad that it takes a blizzard to make me relax! lol.

She was just cracking me up as you can see! This girl is so smart and some of the things she comes up with just makes me laugh!

The lip gloss!

My eye makeup!
I guess I should explain the headphones. Hailey thought to make me even more comfortable I should listen to some music so she hooked me up with her cd player! I was listening to Hannah Montana....oh yeah! lol.

My manicure!

2010-02-06T21:09:00.000-05:00

Hailey first cleaned my nails with a brush!

Then came precision painting!

She did a great job for her first time and even cleaned them up with a q-tip and fingernail polish removal!

The finished product!
WAY TO GO BABY GIRL!!!

Smoothie time!

2010-02-06T21:02:00.000-05:00

I found this recipe for smoothies that we just had to try and they were DELICIOUS!
Hailey made it herself and they turned out awesome!

Wow that's alot of smoothie for such a little girl! lol

Yummy!

Sissy's makeover!

2010-02-06T20:58:00.000-05:00

First the hair!

Then the nails!

My pedicure!

2010-02-06T20:54:00.000-05:00

Sissy loved painting my toes and did a really good job! What was really funny was that she'd do one purple, put it down, and do the next one in silver. Too funny!
They turned out very pretty!

If she had messed up she would take it off with her finger!

This just cracked me up when she took my whole foot and had such concentration!

Movie night!

2010-02-06T20:50:00.000-05:00

Since it was so cold and snowy outside, we decided to watch a couple of movies and eat some popcorn. It was so relaxing!!!

My little princess!

2010-02-06T20:45:00.000-05:00

Tipping her crown to me!
What a character!
Sissy loves to entertain and performed a number for me in the kitchen!
She is just so much fun!

After she was done she bowed! LOL.

Look at that attitude!

Playing in the snow!

2010-02-06T20:33:00.000-05:00

Sissy loves sled riding! she does a great job steering by shifting her weight too (she may just be scared of the tree and leaning away from it takes her the other direction! lol)

Wow that snow is deep!
Sissy couldn't even walk and fell with every step she took.
I ended up pulling her up the hill in the sled just so she'd have more time to play! lol

What a cutie!

Put those gloves on goofy girl!

My Good Samaritan!

2010-02-06T20:23:00.000-05:00

My Driveway before I started shoveling!
I shoveled about 1/4 of this and my arm was killing me and I was getting tired but I kept pressing on.
At the moment when I was just about ready to give up, a good samaritan showed up!!!!

This guy just drove over and started to plow my driveway. Turns out he only lives 2 doors down and he was my brother's best friend when we were growing up. I hadn't seen him for probably 18 years or so. I was so incredibly thankful and offered to pay him but he did not want anything!
This is what being a good samaritan is all about and I intend on paying it forward!
Thank you sooooo much Ryan!!!

2010-02-06T00:45:00.001-05:00

I'm So Proud!!!

2010-02-06T00:34:00.001-05:00

There is nothing like hearing your daughter say "Mom, can I clean the bathroom?"
I mean does it get any better than that?
Tonight Hailey said those words and then proceeded to get the disinfectant wipes, scouring powder, and sponge. She washed the entire sink and straightened up the whole bathroom. Hailey is so independant and has grown into such a responsible young girl.
I am so proud of her!!!!!

She is just so BEAUTIFUL!!!

My very clean sink!!!

1st batch of Valentine's cookies!

2010-02-06T00:15:00.000-05:00

The girls and I LOVE making cookies and icing them. This time it was to take over to Great G-ma's house this past Sun. Heather bought the girls 10 bottles of sprinkles and 6 different cookie cutters. We had so much fun getting creative (and messy!)

2010-02-06T00:10:00.001-05:00

So proud of her cookie!

Sissy's piece of artwork!
Wow look at that sugar!

Hailey wrote the word "Love" on her cookie all by herself.
She was very proud and it turned out awesome!
Way to go baby!!

LEGWARMERS!!! LOL.

2010-02-05T12:39:00.000-05:00

I just bought the girls these adorable leg warmers at my cousin's shop Tickleberrymoon, that I am working in while she is home with her new baby. Hailey has been complaining of her jeans being to cold when she's waiting for the bus so I thought these would be perfect! They keep their legs very warm and they love the awesome stripes!!!
Another really cool thing? they are 1 size fits all and I even put them on myself. Very cool.
Check her store out at Tickleberrymoon.com!

2010-02-05T12:35:00.000-05:00

Who knows what she was doing!

My little goof balls!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DELAINA!!!

2010-02-05T11:13:00.000-05:00

This past Saturday, while mom and dad watched Sissy, Hailey and I went to her friend's, Delaina, Birthday party.
It was at a movie theatre which was so much fun. We started in the theatre and watched the new movie "Tooth Fairy" while the kids were served with popcorn, candy, and drinks all throughout. Then we ended up in the party room to celebrate!
We had sooo much fun together!!!!
Thank you so much Delaina for inviting us!!!

Wow what a cutie!!

I LOVE this picture of Hailey!
She is just so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL DELAINA!
Hailey and Delaina get along so well! It's so funny because Hailey is like 3 inches taller than Delaina but they are the same age.

Hailey's friend Cole (from school)!

OH THE NOISE!!! LOL

2010-02-05T11:07:00.000-05:00

What's a birthday without noise makers that you can pelt each other with! lol.
Well you can definitely see the kids had fun with them.
As for the parenents? Not so much!
