Love

Today I turned on some music while I was cleaning. Music prompts Hailey to dance like crazy..which prompts me to take cute pictures. Then it turns into a photoshoot, so thought I would share some very cute pictures of my love.

Camping!

This Memorial Day weekend we went camping! Bryan got 5 days off and I got about 4 and half, and while talking to my mom she was talking about going camping at the Grand Canyon and I thought it was such a good idea. We are having amazing weather and Hailey is ALWAYS talking about going camping. I called the camp ground on base and booked! As soon as all the kids left we packed up and left..I was so happy because we were only 5 minutes from our house! We were able to rent a camping package from the base that had everything we needed and more for camping. We grilled hotdogs, roasted marshmallows, went for a hike and went fishing. It was so much fun..except for TICKS and bugs for that matter! Gross..and I was so lucky to not get any but sadly Bryan got one two and my poor little love who loves playing in nature got two as well. She got one in her belly button and one one her chest. She thought they were spiders and were very brave as we pulled them out. We went to the lake and saw an amazing sunset..but when it was time for bed I called my mom and stayed up really late because I was too scared to sleep! After a very long night we scrambled eggs and bacon and considered staying another night until it started raining! Hailey loved it so much..I wasn't a big fan but I love doing things that Hailey loves doing. I'm sure we will do it again.

Happy Birthday Hailey!

Yesterday we celebrated Hailey's 4th birthday! It was such a good day..we started our morning off at a lovely 6am..she knew when she woke up it was time to start "her" day. When she woke up we took her to her room (we let her sleep with us since we put the kitchen togther in her room) had her close her eyes and let her loose! She went crazy for the kitchen! I was so excitied that she loved it so much! Then we let her open 1 gift from us, her Cinderella Dress up-dress, since that is who she wanted to be at her princess party! Then we made her breakfast, Mickey Mouse Pancakes with fresh blueberries. We had this huge, amazing party planned for her..however the rain ruined that. Got to love NC weather :( Luckily my friend Danelle, let me use her house since mine is not big enough to entertain that many people. We played "Pin the Princess on the Castle" Hailey did get it the closest but we let someone else win..and did arts and crafts. We decorated birthday hats with stickers and did a Pinata. Hailey got lots of gifts and really had a wonderful birthday party! Happy Birthday to my little love..I am very sad that she is another year older..I want her to stay little forever. I definitely want to make every one of her days as special as possible because they really will not last much longer!

Getting ready for a BIG suprise!

I am posting pictures of the Kitchen Bryan and I JUST finished at 11:15pm putting it together after Hailey's 8:40 bedtime. It is gigantic and so adorable! She is just going to go crazy..I can't wait for her to wake up in the morning and the look on her face to see it! It's a walk-in kitchen wiuth a grill, fridge, oven, stovetop, microwave.. even it's very own hardwood floors..everything! This is honestly incredible..we were playing with it for a little bit..I'm sure I will have my little chef make me many meals in here. We're having a big party for her tommorrow too..guess I should get to bed! :)

Happy Anniversery!

This past Friday, Bryan and I celebrated our 3 year anniversery! It has gone by so very fast..I really hope our next 40 years together go by a lot slower :) We had a nice evening out. We took Hailey to dinner with us since we love her so much! Then we dropped her off at a good friend's and went to the movies and did a little shopping. I love my amazing hubby so very much!

Mother's Day

I had a very nice Mother's Day this year. Saturday Bryan took Hailey "to get his hair cut" and when they got home Hailey was so excitied about a suprise for mommy..needless to say their cover was blown but I acted clueless. This morning when I woke up I called Hailey to my room for some morning love. She brought me flowers, cards, a cake and a very good smelling coconut lime candle..my favorite! I was then cooked a wonderful breakfast and a nice long bath. We then went and did a little shopping and stopped to get hotdogs from this very nice old man at a NY style hotdog stand. Hailey thought it was so cool to watch him make our hotdogs. We took Hailey to the carnival for the last day in which I got very sun burned :( I still had a good day though and I am very lucky to have such an amazing little Hailey :)

May Maynia

This weekend Camp Lejeune is having a free carnival on base! We went everyday last year and we're going everyday again this year! Carnival's are so expensive why not take advantage of a free one!? Hailey loves every second of it, she is quite a thrill seeker..wanting to go on the biggest and fastest rides..no matter how sick they make mommy and daddy. As we left on Friday night we sat and listened to a live concert of a very good Christian Rock band, Hailey loved it telling me that they were singing about "Jesus and when he left" I told her that Jesus has never left us. But I did get some cute pictures of her dancing. She even tried to run up on stage to sing with them, I had to do hard sprint to catch her in time! We're counting down 7 more days until Hailey's birthday! She is so excitied, even though I am very sad..I told her I wish she could stay 3 forever and she told me no she need to "grow to be a big girl just like you mommy" aww she's so sweet :)

Happy Early Mother's Day!

This past Sunday was celebrated our Mother's Day a week early. Bryan's parents, and grandma will be gone next weekend..cruising the Carribbean. So we had a late lunch Bryan's bbq chicken and some corn on the cob, ended with a strawberry Mother's Day Cake made by none other than me! A perfect summer meal. We traded gifts and said our good-byes. We also got a good picture of all the "mothers" Sara, Rae, Rosey, Alicia, and Amy. The next time we see them all will be for Hailey's 4th Birthday in two weeks! She is so excitied and extremely impatient for her big bash ;)

Busy

This past Saturday was a pretty busy one for us. It all started with a 6 am wake up from Hailey, she starting crying about her ear hurting. So I got up and took her to the ER on base. We were so lucky because total time gone was only 1 and 40 minutes including going to the Pharmacy. She did have an ear infection, and because she gets them so often it looks like she will have to get tubes put in her ears if she gets one more with-in the next month or so. Then after taking her gazillion medications we took her to the beach to take some birthday pictures. We built a sandcastle and collected some seashells. Then we went home, had lunch..and went shopping with Miss Danelle and baby Emily. Afterwards we came home, got daddy and went to get the rest of Hailey's party supplies. We decided that we were much to tired to cook and grabbed dinner at Applebees. We then headed over to Blockbuster and rented BOLT for a family movie night. After Bryan and Hailey fell asleep on the couch I baked my cake for the next day and cleaned the house. My day ended at 11pm. Loooong day!
