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!

Chicka..Chicka..Coo and I love you

This morning Hailey got all dressed up in her "dressing room" and put on a performance for me and Namoi..just the three of us today! She's a little performer!

Yuma

We had such a nice time in Yuma, we got home this past Wednesday at 2 am! Blah! We got to lots of fun things while we there though. We went to the Yuma Prison, which we were suprised to find out Bryan had never been! We took Hailey to the Creative Playground..which she always loves. Went to feed the ducks. We had game night..my friend Erika came over to play with us. We spent a good amount of time with Erika and her very adorable baby Bella. Hailey and grandma made cookies too..very good ones at that! We had a nice relaxing week. Our travel was so smooth and easy too..no major issues and I must say being military gets some pretty nice money saving perks we didn't have to pay for our luggage..we got to go to the USO and get a free dinner during our layover in Houston and we got a 10 percent discount on our parking..saving us over about 100 dollars total. Very nice! We are glad to be home though..it's warming up here and our A/C isn't working so I am prtty grumpy right now..79 in my house! I usually have it at 70.. :( But we have a birthday party to go to so hopefully by the time we get home it will cool down!

Legoland!

On Tuesday night we landed in San Diego..it was a very long drooling day. We stayed the night in San Diego and went to Legoland the next day. Legoland was a blast! It was amazing! Hailey loved every second of it..and even though it was very windy and cold we got to do a lot of really fun things. Hailey even went on the largest roller coaster in the park..and LOVED it! I think she will be like her daddy and mommy (we love roller coasters) Hailey, Kayla, Bryan and I raced in a firemans race. We had to put out a fire and race the firtruck back..we got second place!

We also got a really good picture of all of us!

Happy Easter!

We had a very nice Easter this year! Last year was so lonely and emotional because Bryan was to come home just days after the holiday. Hailey though that the Easter bunny forgot about her because he didnt put the basket in her room. Then she noticed the eggs around the house that the "Easter Bunny" hid and ran out to see her basket in the living room. Then we hunted for eggs, she was able to find most without any help! We also went to a very lovely service at our Church and then went to Bryan's moms house. I made an Easter Cake out of cupcakes, it turned out so cute. We opened more baskets and had another Easter Egg hunt at Grandma Rae's house. We got a very cute picture of Hailey and all of her cousins starting with Soul'Ja, J'Lynn, Isiah, Meena, and Hailey :) We had a very fun Easter. Today we start packing for our trip to Yuma tommorrow! Yay, so excitied!

Our Week!

This week really just flew on by! With my daycare we celebrated Easter on Thursday since all the kids went on vacation for the Holiday. Hailey and Jordan dyed the eggs in the morning and we hid them that afternooon. Then went hunting for eggs and opened baskets when Trinity came after school. Baby Emily and Namoi had already left out of town so they didnt get to enjoy our festivities. On Friday night Hailey, Bryan and I dyed some more eggs..we did used glue and colored sand to decorate the eggs after they were colored. It was something new and Hailey loved it. While dying the eggs last night we noticed Hailey's scratch on her finger from earlier in the week was very swollen and when I looked at it, it had some puss coming from it. So that is what we got to do this lovely morning..spend it in the ER. Which was actually not very bad only about 1 and 1/2 hours at the hospital on base. Then this afternoon we took Hailey to the pool after doing some last minute shopping for our trip to Yuma!! Hailey is a natural fish in the water, she can basically swim by herself. She just needs her floaties and she does not want ANY help. It's an indoor pool so I dont have to worry about sunburns...not mention it was very windy, cold and rainy today and we still got to go to the pool! Bryan and I also celebrated 5 years of dating today. We were going to try and have a date night but after a very long day..and with another long day coming up tommorrow we cancelled! We're going to snuggle up to a movie now!
