decorating pumpkins

The girls had a great time decorating their pumpkins. They turned out so cute!!

cara's pumpkin patch field trip

I also got to go with Cara and her preschool class on their field trip to the pumpkin patch

Cara was searching for a good pumpkin and she was very determined to find one with a perfect stem

Here is the pumpkin that she picked out. And this is the best picture I got of her holding it. (sad)

They had animals at the pumpkin patch, here they were looking at the baby chicks

They got to go on a hayride, which only kids and teachers got to go on, but when she got off she told me that she loved it

Hailey went on a field trip with her kindergarten class to the pumpkin patch.

She was so excited to ride on the bus

They each got to pick out a pumpkin, here she is searching for the perfect one

Here was the winner, the perfect pumpkin

I got to go and help and I had so much fun

1st day of preschool

Cara at home getting ready to leave for her 1st day of

preschool

I asked her to take a picture at preschool and

this is the pose I got.

(she brought her Minnie purse to share, so cute)

She is warming up to her teacher

She got very nervous and her teacher told her she
wanted to show her something. That was all it
took and she was off.




She loved preschool and talked about it all day.
This was the picture she colored for me

Hailey had a great first day of Kindergarten. She loved it. The first thing she said to me when I picked her up was, "I didn't learn how to read today mom" Oh how I love that girl !! I hugged her and said, "you will sweetie".

Kindergarten

So excited !!!!

Waiting in line to go in

She posed for one more picture

Hailey's teacher helping her put her backpack away, so cute!

Waiting to go into her new class with her new friends.

Hailey woke up at 6:50 this morning and the first thing she said to me was, "did you know that I am going to Kindergarten today?" She was so excited she could barely handle it. (Last night we had a kindergarten party, which included pizza, a movie, nails and toes painted, and root beer floats.) When it was our turn at the gate the lady looked at her name tag and told her where to go. Then she ran off, didn't even say good-bye to us. I said "Hailey can I have a hug?" so she ran back and gave me one. Then next thing I knew she was over with her teacher.(defintely not sad to leave us) I looked down at Cara and she was crying, she was so sad her sissy was leaving. I did good I didn't even cry, well not until we drove away. My baby is in Kindergarten and her mommy misses her already!

Kindergarten orientation

Loved playing hopscotch

"Just pull it out mom"

Hailey lost her first tooth on December 16th. It was almost
bedtime (and it was really loose) I told her that it would
probably come out the next day. She looked at me and said,
"Mom just pull it out". So I did and she was so excited.


Hailey got two dollars from the tooth fairy and
was so happy. And even happier when her
second tooth fell out a week later. (total bed head)

Christmas

They looked so cute on Christmas Eve

Hailey is getting so big. She asked me if I could

straighten her hair for Grandma's house.

Santa was nice t0 the McKell family this year.

Look at all of those presents.

Hailey asked for a Barbie scooter that matched

her Barbie bike. And Cara got a scooter that she

absolutely loved. They both ate breakfast that

morning on them.

They both got pillow pets (Hailey saw the infomercial

and had to have one) It was a huge hit and they sleep

with them every night.

Cara's 2nd Birthday

Cara's 2nd birthday party was at the park and we

had so much fun. It was a lady bug and flower

themed party. We had a lot of family and friends

there.

I borrowed this cute game from a friend and

the kids loved it. Do you like how close Cara is?

Cara hitting her butterfly pinata!

Cara getting her tattoo from her Aunt Kelly.

She liked it so much that she wanted 4 of them

Cara's cakes made with love by Mommy!

It was a great day and I can't believe that

my baby is two. Means it is time for another one.

Haha just kidding not even close to being ready.

October

The girls were so excited for halloween this year. Cara loves dogs and when she saw the costume she got so excited. Hailey knew for awhile that she wanted to be Jasmin. Between trunk or treat at the church and trick or treating on halloween they got like three bag fulls each.

September

Hailey on her first day of Pre-K at her preschool, she was so excited. She had some major tan lines because we had just gotten home the day before from a vacation.

August

In August we went camping at Pismo Beach and had so much fun. It was our last vacation and a great way to end the summer.
