Independence Day 2012!

           July 4th started out with the excitement of matching outfits & flags for the girls!


                                        Another hot day....spent the morning at Aunt Julie's pool.
                                             Lindsey says, "I ready! Swim me mommy!"

     Hailey has transitioned from fearing the water to Miss Independent with the float....

          And has now conquered her greatest fear of going under!  We are so proud of her!

                                         And as for Lindsey....well, she's fearLESS!


                                   Later, we headed to Chris' parents for dinner and fireworks



which turned into...going home instead of fighting a crowd, not knowing if Lindsey would enjoy the fireworks.  Plus, the fireworks did not start until 9:30...on a week night. 
So glad we decided to go home and semi-enjoy the multi-family firework display in our neighborhood, since my hair almost got pulled out!  Poor Lindsey did not like the sound of them, but enjoyed the pretty colors.  After sitting at the end of our driveway for 20mins...we ventured indoors to watch the fireworks display in the T.V. and enjoy all the patriotic music...




 And I love that both of my girls are unable to sit still the minute they hear music...they're both natural dancers!

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express!  We love snow days!!                                   Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt....   After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
