Hailey's Dance Rectial

 Hailey just completed her first year of dance lessons.  She took preschool ballet and tap.  When I signed her up, I was really curious to see how long she would stick with it and if she would really enjoy it.  I was also hoping she wouldn't be too shy to participate and learn.  She settled in quickly and seemed really excited for Thursdays to roll around. 

The recital was in early May.  Between work, running across town to daycare, getting Hailey ready and driving back to practice through road construction, recital week was a little hectic!  

Before Tech Rehearsal

We also had a lot of fun!  Hailey got to wear a pretty costume and makeup.  Little Miss Princess was very excited about the makeup!  She pranced around like she was something special  (and of course she is). I will say I was a little stressed trying to get her hair to stay in a bun and getting the makeup just right, but I think we managed pretty well.

Dress Rehearsal

Hailey did really well on stage.  She wasn't scared one little bit.  She marched right out there with a smile on her face and danced her little heart out!   She's already asking when dance starts again!

Wild Things Farm

Over Mother's Day weekend, we went to Wild Things Farm.  The kids really enjoyed being able to run wild and Kevin and I enjoyed the fresh air.  The strawberries were delicious too!

Hailey showing Logan the animals.  She's such a good big sister.

 

Logan liked the donkey

picking strawberries!

Since We've Been Gone -- Part 2

 Again, I'm just going to hit some highlights from each month. After this, I should be able to stay more up to date.  Hopefully!


JANUARY

Hailey turned 4!  We celebrated with her preschool friends at McDonald's and had a small family pizza party.

Hailey is in the back, center wearing the giraffe print dress and pink tights.

I love this pic. Good buddies sharing giggles!

FEBRUARY

February was pretty non-eventful. Seems like both kids had a never ending cough so we just stayed inside and goofed around.

 

MARCH

In March, we had a Mommy/Hailey day!  We went to see Pinkalicious, stopped by the bakery for cookies, had lunch, and did some shopping. 



 

 Easter Time!
 Hailey had fun decorating eggs and we had an egg hunt with Nana and Gramps.

 

APRIL

 Hailey took advantage of the warmer weather and finally got a chance to ride her bike.

Princess day at Chickfila

Our friends Brian and Page got married!  They had a beautiful outdoor wedding followed by a reception at the Arkansas Air Museum.  It was going to be a long afternoon/evening so we left Logan behind and took Hailey to join in the festivities.  She had a ball!

 

 And that's it.  I have several things in May that I'd like to make separate posts for.  So check back soon.  I'm going to try to be totally caught up within the week.

Since We've Been Gone -- Part 1

Wow!  It's been 7 months since I've last posted on this here blog.  Seems like we're always busy, busy and weeks quickly turned into months.  The days are flying by. I can't believe Hailey is finishing her last week of PreK 4 and this time next year she will be headed to Kindergarten. Logan has changed so much the last few months; he's running, jumping, climbing everything, and starting to jabber a lot more. 

In the interest of time and simplicity, I'm just going to post a few pics from each month until I get caught up.  I do intend to keep up with this a little better going forward.  I don't know if many people even follow us, but I do it for more of a scrapbook for this kiddos more than anything.

Here's what we've been up to.....


SEPTEMBER
This little guy turned the big ONE.  We celebrated with a crab and sailboat theme. 

 

 

 

OCTOBER

 Hailey had fun making a Little Mermaid pumpkin.

 

  

 

This was Logan's first time getting to dress up for Halloween.  He was a cute little lion, but hated wearing the hood.  Hailey was Minnie Mouse.  For some reason I'm unable to locate a pic of her dressed up.

NOVEMBER
We headed to Tulsa for a day at the zoo and some fun at Incredible Pizza. Logan loved watching the monkeys. 

 

 

I love this pic of Hailey and her little squished up nose

 

DECEMBER
Christmas Time!

Christmas morning - Logan was overwhelmed and not a happy camper

It's Snowing!

That sums up 2012, pretty exciting huh?  2013 coming up soon!
