Hailey The Job Seeker

So this past month has been a very busy month for Hailey. She has taken on the concern of finding the perfect job for her. In the last few weeks she has started off with being a "fixer" as she calls it, so we bought her some tools (play tools from Handy Manny because when she used real tools she broke our DVD Player and took apart her book shelf..smart little girl!!) then she said that it was not the right job for her. Then she wanted to be a doctor..so we buy her a doctor kit..we all got shots and our heartbeats listened too, however she got tired of that. Next she wanted to be a racecar driver..luckily she told us she already had everything she needed for that..I'm not sure what we could have bought for that one. Last Sunday she wanted to be a boat driver..which she got to do on Papa's boat. This week has been the busiest one yet!! She started out on Monday as a gardner..and again she has lot sof gardening things so I did not have to go out and buy her stuff. Then later that day she wanted to be a "cooker" and she cooked us all of our favorite meals. Tuesday she wanted to be tea party host, she took out her tea party and we had an all day long tea party. Yesterday (Wednesday) she was a babysitter (like mommy) and we took care of her stuffed animals, giving them shots, feeding them lunch and changing their diapers. Today already we have had two jobs. She woke up and told me she HAD to be a cowboy..and that cowboys were clean she we just had to take a bath right then! So we took a bath and she said I needed to braid her hair and get her ready for the dessert. We put on Cowboy pants (khakis) a western shirt (a striped shirt??) a cowboy hat (her gardening hat) a rope (a jump rope) and cowboy boots (her flower boots) the only other thing she needed was a horse..which we luckily had, our hardwood floor was the dessert and she could NOT touch it. After about 5 minutes..she suddenly had a change of heart..a librarian!! So we laid all her books out and she got her cash register and I had to purchase books from her (really a book store). I am exhausted!! But I am very pleased that she has such an AMAZING imagination..and wants to find something to make her happy for a job, considering she has quite a few more years to decide.

A day on the boat

Today we went out on Bryan's parents boat. We had so much fun and Hailey loved every second of it. The wind was blowing pretty hard so we couldn't go out too far but we still went really fast and every time Papa Scotty turned fast Hailey squealed and giggled, she had so much fun. The water was 56 degrees and my crazy husband jumped in prompting Hailey to also want to jump in. 2 seconds into the water she got right out. We bought her, her very own special princess life jacket. Papa Scotty even let her "drive" the boat as you can see in the picture to the right. Very fun and we can't wait to go out again!

Happy Birthday Bryan!

Yesterday Bryan turned 21! Not only did the poor guy have to work but he is on the range so he had to be there by 430 am..but we still had a good day. Hailey and the kids in my daycare made posters and birthday cards for him during arts and crafts. We went out to dinner..this was supposed to be a family dinner..since I am having a huge party for him in 2 weeks. Somehow though it snowballed into a 15 person dinner. It was still fun and everyone bought Bryan drinks..at the end of the night he was "thanking me for the BEST birthday ever..." I didn't even do anything! We went to Mexican and Hailey loved when they smashed whipped cream in his face. To the right: Bryan getting whipped creamed!

Bubble Pop!

Hailey has created a new song..and when I asked her where she learned this new song she told me she learned it "When she was a little kid and she was in college" "I learned it in college mommy" I just giggled..because I don't even know where she learned what college was?! We went to dinner with Danelle last night, I watch her little girl Emily, whom Hailey calls "Baby Emily" we went to Red Robins (Hailey's favorite restaurant) and Red Robin himself was there so she got to meet him..she is terrified of Chuck-E-Cheese but Red Robin gets hugs and high fives..??

Hailey singing her infamous Bubble Pop! Song. (In her jammies..first thing in the morning)

Miss Hailey gets Flowers

So a few weeks before Valentine's Day, Hailey was doing the webcam with my dad. While talking Hailey asked my dad if he would get her flowers for Valentine's Day and he said yes he would. Well on Valentine's Day when the flowers didn't come Hailey asked where her flowers were (because she had seen mine) from her Papa Mike. I told her that he was on vacation (which he really was) and that he may have forgotton. So we web camed again with him last week and she brought the flowers up...and I guess my dad had said "yes" without understanding what she was asking him, because he never remember telling her that. Today she got her very own rose plant, with her very own special message from Papa Mike, which you can see she is VERY excitied about. Stating that it had to put in her room by the window for sunlight to make the roses grow BIG and tall like her. What a smart girl :) Tonight we also went to Bryan's work and bought pizza for all the firemen and passed out invitations for his big Vegas bash in a few weeks. Hailey had lots of fun passing them to all the firmen. While we were there, they had a big emergency and Hailey got to watch all run out the door to the fire truck and take off with the sirens on! She looooved it!

I am also posting this picture of Hailey and me, because I never put pictures of myself on here. This is right before bedtime in her bed. She has a spongebob band-aid on her chin because this morning when she woke up, her chin was bleeding and we just could not figure out why??

Princess Hailey

This picture is from the day before Valentine's Day. Hailey and Trinity..a little girl I watch after school. They were holding flowers I gave them for Valentine's Day and being Princesses with Hailey's dress up clothes. We had a fun Valentine's Day..we went to lunch with Grandma Rae and Great Grandma Rosey. Hailey spent the night with Grandma Rae while Bryan and I had a date night. I am trying to get better at taking pictures and videos of my little love but she just goes a mile a minute and has hundreds of cute moments in a day! It's hard to keep up with her!

She will start the More at 4 program this fall and that will be the end of in-home daycare for me. It has been fun..but very exhausting! I may keep 1 or 2 so that I can take and pick up Hailey from school, definitely not more than 2 though! Danelle, the mommy of baby Emily I watch bought Hailey this very cute polka dot dress. Bryan's birthday is coming up soon and we are planning a huge Vegas Themed party for more than 50 people..I am having so much fun planning it so far. I will get stressed and become a "Partyzilla" when the day comes..because I have fallen ill to being a perfectionist! We also are going to go out of town to Wilmington on his actual birthday. Such a beautiful town. And we only have about 1 month until our exciting trip to Yuma! Very excitied..!!

Time goes by

Things have been moving at speed of light around here! We haven't been up to anything too exciting. I took some pictures for Valentine's Day for an arts and craft project I did here at the daycare. Hailey looks so big, (she told me that I was not allowed to do her hair and that she was took big for it to be up) it still looks pretty cute for me not doing anything to it.

This morning baby Emily was the only one I had to watch today so Hailey and I just relaxed. She got a black marker and some paper and started making pictures to hang up in her room, I just had to take a picture of this one because it looks so grown up. Hailey told me that she is the one with the big big head and Daddy is the one with medium head and I am the one with the littlest head..I wonder what that means to her?? Hopefully that means I have a small head!! :)
