softball 2011

Hailey played softball and had a great time. It was really tball but she gets mad when I call it that because she didn't need to use the tee. She did really good and can't wait until next year.

Hailey's promise

One day Hailey got into trouble for not listening, a few minutes later she came into my room and gave me this note.

Valentine's Day !!

Bryce made a special valentine's dinner for his favorite girls. For dessert the girls made chocolate covered strawberries for us. Yummy !!

Teddy Bear Day at Preschool

Cara had teddy bear week at school and she learned all about bears. On the last day she got to wear her pajamas and bring a teddy bear. She was very excited.

Girl Scout ceremony

Hailey joined a girl Scout troop and loves it. This her at her first ceremony. She looks so cute. They are all her friends from kindergarten, she is the tallest by far just like her mom was.

Mother/s Day Tea

Hailey's Kindergarten class had a Mother's Day tea for the mom's to celebrate Mother's Day. It was so cute, they sang songs and gave us flowers and presents. If it looks like I don't have any makeup on that is because I cried it all off. No really I cried the whole time.

Hailey looked so cute
