:O Christmas Tree

Dec 12 ~ We finally got our Christmas tree!  We decided to wait a little bit longer this year, not knowing if we would be chasing Lindsey down every second and also remembering last year ~ the year our tree died. Yes, we literally had to cut it apart inside to remove it & ugh... cleaning up pine needles from the moment we bought it, until...well, this year!


To our amazement, Lindsey has not tried to pull it over, take the ornaments off or hang on the limbs! YAY!  As a matter of fact, from the moment we plugged in the lights to make sure they worked, she cheered saying, " yaaay...lights...bubbles!"  Also, the tree gave her a great hiding place for one of her newest fav games.  "Peek-e-boo..." as she says.



  Hailey was a great help this year decorating the tree without me having to worry about her hooking herself with the ornaments this year...she even made some homemade ornaments & decorated with some of her hairbows...hey, whatever works, right.  If you look back at the 1st pic...you'll notice a pink flower(on the right) in the tree...hair clip, it was a must per Hailey!  She did get a little upset when the tree topper/star would not work, so we rigged up a star for her mini-christmas tree in her room which, so far, seems to make her feel a little better.

This past weekend, after a marathon of "Fossy" aka, Frosty the Snowman per Lindsey...her newest found love, I decided to take a few pics of the girls for their Christmas pictures...that's always interesting and you just have to hope for the best, because when they're done...they're DONE!!  But, I got a few good ones after playing "peek-e-boo" behind the camera & singing the ABC's:

Hailey's 6th Birthday 'Gymnastics' Party!

Bye Bye Long Hair!

So, I usually wait until I'm sitting in the chair at the hair salon to decided exactly what I want to do with my hair.  I've been going to the same hair dresser for over 10years and she knows me well.  I mentioned that Hailey has been wanting me to cut my hair short for a while now...similar to when I cut it off when she was only 15months old.  She has held onto a picture of me with short hair...so.....last minute decisions, decisions.                                                    Bye Bye long hair!  Hello short hair!  Hailey was very surprised & happy when my sister brought her the the salon to see the after math!  So, she requested to go home and take pictures of us...and it wouldn't b...

1st Day of Fall 2012

What can I say, other than the 1st day of fall is absolutely beautiful! (even though my girls want to watch Christmas movies today).  Hailey isn't feeling very well, but managed to play outside and enjoy the weather for a little while...and of course get a few pics of the kiddos with our glamorous glittering pumpkins...so girly! Some other accomplishments this week...Hailey read the bedtime story 2 nights ago...might have been a "Dick & Jane" book, but mommy was so proud! Lindsey has taken on "spitting" which we are trying to break!  She also gets a big kick out of putting her mouth on mine or Chris' belly and blowing, followed by, "I pooted!!"  Yep, I think she might be our tomboy...  Hailey had the best attempt at getting Lindsey to try to stop spitting by saying, "Lindsey! Stop spitting or you're going to turn into a BOY!!"  Lindsey responded, "Oh noooo!" with her hands on her cheeks and hasn't att...
