Practice Run for the Future ~ Part 1 (Swim/Dance)

Today certainly gave me a taste of what is to come.  Today's agenda:

9-10am - Hailey's Swimming Lessons
10-11am - Play time in the pool, getting ready for dance class and driving 30mins after realizing we left Hailey's dance shoes at home...:/
11-12 - Hailey's Dance Class
12-2:30 - Lunch, buying Lindsey's friend Annabelle a birthday present, change clothes, power nap
2:30-5:15 - Annabelle's Birthday Party
5:15-present - drive home, make dinner, give baths...AND I'M STILL STANDING! Well, sitting, but I'm still in the upright position, so I'm giving myself props.  And might I add that we arrived to our 1st pit stop a whoppin' 15 mins early!!  That never happens!

So in the mist of all the chaos, I was able to get a few...okay, a ton of cute pics of the girls.

Testing the waters...


Beginning to become more comfortable...


Lindsey wasn't very sure about all of this water...at first.

She finally decided to put her feet in....


Hailey's teacher helping her into the water...

Proud mommy moment...her teacher said, she was a natural!




Lindsey has a love for buckles...so glad they gave her a floaty backpack to play with to entertain while mommy was biting her fingernails!
The last activity that the class participated in I did not capture because I...as well as Hailey was in a state of shock.  Hailey was first in line and had no idea what was about to happen.  With their floats on they had to jump into the pool while holding their teachers hands(teacher were in the pool). Sure enough, Hailey went for it...not expecting to go under...but she came up without coughing! I was so proud of her!  Needless to say, that was the only jump for her...a little scary and unexpected.




After class, the girls wanted to play for a while and Lindsey turned fearless...guess who's getting swimming lessons next?!



                      And then, it was time to dance.  They are learning their recital piece...
and Hailey's front center!!

We've got alot of practicing to do...you know, in our spare time!

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...

The weather is warmer and the girls love our backyard paradise. I'm so grateful the both enjoy imagination play, hand-me-down swing sets and space to roam. Hailey has been enjoying her gymnastic class, tricks at home and trying to give me gray hairs....                                                     These girls love their trampoline!                                      Some of their made up games...surprise tag from the great down under...                    Always time for a picture while sitting and playing on the trampoline.                                        They got the biggest kick out of the static ele...
