God Loves Us All

Today Hayden went for testing at GWA, she will be in K-4 next year. I can't believe that she is turning 4 next Saturday and testing for big girl school. She is growing up so fast. She was very good today and wasn't too shy, I was very proud of her and I am sure she did an excellent job!!!

Last night Snow White performed a wonderful song for Mark and I! God loves us all!!! Hope every one enjoys!

The Pledge

When I went for my parent/teacher conference at the Preschool on Wednesday, Mrs. Christie asked me if I have ever heard Hayden say the Pledge of Allegiance and I told her yes but she wouldn't let me get it on tape. Mrs. Christie says that her and Mrs. Sue laugh every morning because Hayden says the pledge the loudest in the class, which still surprises me, but the one thing I will say is that she has opened up a lot since the first day of school! I also have to say that the conference was great and that Hayden is a very smart little girl, I know every one already knows that but I can't stop myself from bragging on her!!! Mark and I are truly blessed and are very proud parents.

WE HAVE TWO WONDERFUL LITTLE GIRLS!





Biggest Loser Update 2:

Mark also lost another 7lbs last week for a total of 15lbs(way to go honey). I am so proud of him, he is really sticking to his diet!

Outside

Today when Gracie and I left to pick Hayden up from school, I noticed that it was such a beautiful day and it was WARM, so I decided when we got back home we would play outside on our playground(swing set, trampoline and playhouse). I couldn't wait to see what Gracie would think about it, now that she is walking and can get around good (last year she could only swing or sit in the stroller). Hayden was very excited when we got home and I told her that we were going to play outside, she said "and Gracie too" and I told her yes and she was so happy! After I got Gracie out of her car seat I put her down and she ran right over to the swing set and pointed at her pink swing. I let her swing for a little while and then went to get her out and she let me know real fast like that she wasn't done swinging...So I let her swing a little longer and then finally got her out and put her on the trampoline. She REALLY liked the trampoline, it didn't even seem to bother her when Hayden would jump and knock her over. It worried Mommy at first, but then I realized how much fun they were having and tried not to be to over protective. We played on the trampoline for almost an hour, and I told Hayden that she needed to show Gracie her playhouse, so we got off the trampoline and they played house for a little while...Well Gracie liked opening and closing the doors and windows and Hayden actually played house, she even cleaned up her playhouse(that makes me a proud Mommy haha!) Gracie also enjoyed just walking around outside she made laps around the yard and then she pointed at her swing again, so I put her back in the swing and she was so tired that she almost fell asleep. I told Hayden that I had to take Gracie in for her afternoon nap and at first she cried and didn't want to come inside, but as soon as Gracie went down for her nap, I looked in Hayden's room and she was sound asleep in her bed too! I guess that means they played very hard!!! It was such a beautiful day, It was the perfect temperature and it was very relaxing for Mommy!

Biggest Loser Update 1

As you all know Mark started the Biggest Loser game with his friends last week. They all weighed in last Thursday so they weighed in again last night. I am so proud of my husband, he lost 8lbs in one week(way to go honey). He was very proud of himself too, he has really stuck to his diet and unfortunately I am not very much help because I can't afford to lose any weight. I knew he would be the Biggest Loser this week, he is a very determined person when he puts his mind to it. Good luck next week!

We Love You and are very proud for you!
Mommy, Punkin, and Poot

Birthday Planning

Today I took Hayden to Party City to pick out the theme for her birthday party. I know every one thinks that she is going to do the Princess Theme, and she did pick one of the princesses, just not the princess that anyone is expecting. She picked Ariel (the little mermaid) which is very strange to me because she doesn't really even like The Little Mermaid movie...Oh well I guess things are changing. It is very cute and will be a very pretty, princess party(lots of pink and purple). I know all the guys are real excited! I tried to persuade her to pick Cinderella because when we first started talking about her birthday party that is what she wanted and she wanted all white and blue balloons(doesn't that just sound beautiful), but she informed me that she would do Cinderella next year, I was a little disappointed so maybe I can have Cinderella with lots of blue and white balloons for my birthday in October(hint hint). Hayden also wanted to go ahead and pick out all of Gracie's birthday stuff, but I told her that Gracie just had a birthday and we will have to wait and see what Gracie likes when it is time for her 2nd birthday! I also have found a very cute Little Mermaid cake at Publix and it actually comes in an ice cream cake, so I'm thinking I may try that this year. I have to wait and see what Hayden thinks about that! I keep asking her what she wants for her birthday, because seriously this child already has EVERYTHING. She keeps telling me that she wants fingernail polish(go figure) maybe I will take her for a manicure and pedicure(I bet she will laugh the whole time because it tickles). Oh well I am sure we will come up with the perfect gift for our perfect girl(we always do). It is so hard to believe that she is going to be 4 years old, I keep telling her that she will always be my baby and she says "no Mommy I am a Big Girl now, see how long my legs are."
