Backyard paradise, good grades and parades

I will always cherish that phone call from my cousin Jessica who asked if the girls wanted a trampoline. It was used, but in good condition and she was willing to bring it and help put it together with her boyfriend Joe. The girls were so excited to find out the surprise and watched from our bedroom window.



                                        Hailey wanted to be the first one to stand on it


The next day, she didn't hesitate to run out in what we called our backyard paradise to the new trampoline, even though it was cold...


The girls and I grew to love this trampoline more than ever expected...we played games like duck duck goose, tag, so many made up games, played music and danced, even used sidewalk chalk to draw before rainy days....so many memories from this hand me down trampoline....
                                                ...oh yeah, and the static hair was the best






Made it to see the horses near Mimi and Pop's, along with Aunt Julie



Hailey entered an art show. The proceeds went to an animal shelter.


                                              ....and daddy got a new job. Looking sharp!


Hailey made all A's so we celebrated with cupcakes and A's made out of strawberries!



Hailey got to bring this teddy bear home from school for the weekend



Lindsey Grace and her friend Hannah Grace had fun



                                           Nothing better than homemade popsicles!


The girls and I got ready for their first experience at the downtown St Patrick's Day parade. We must have walked for miles and pushing a stroller through the crowd was not fun to say the least, but we made it. Hailey was more excited about wearing her multi-colored hair piece than the color green. They both enjoyed getting their faces painted, trying caramel apples for the first time, which started Hailey's first loose tooth.


















                                                  Ahhh, the many faces of Hailey Lynn...

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...
