GREAT Deal!

Nich and I have been looking for a new bedroom set since we moved upstairs...while I have been. :) We finally found it on the cover of Elder Beerman! This was a almost $400 12 piece set and it was on sale, then coupon for 20% off, and I opened a credit card and saved 20% more and got $20 in gift cards!!! The set ended up being $110. Amazing! Shelby - you'd be proud!

Farm Animal Fanatic

After Doodlebops we decided to get our money's worth and walked around the fair for a couple hours. We saw the chickens, turkeys, ducks, llamas, cows, sheep, and bears. We have a real farm animal girl on our hands! We walked through rows of chickens and turkeys and she actually knew the difference!

She told each chicken and turkey "Hi!"

Feeding the ducks! Unfortunately they weren't hungry...

She remembered feeding the horses and Nana & Papa's and grabbed a handful of grass and fed the llamas. She's so caring and fearless!

Pleeeeaaase....Christmas present Papa! :) She loves to mow with Nich and I on our tractor at home and was in heaven with the four wheelers and tractors!

Doodlebops!!

For those of you who don't know Hailey LOVES the Doodlebops! We were so excited they were coming this close to us and we just had to get tickets! Nich and I got out of work early and raced down to the Lenawee County Fair just in time (because they were 15 minutes late) for the start of the concert. Row 13 in the middle....perfect seats!


She was getting so excited! This is just as they played a song that was familiar to her. She realized where we were! She and baby got into it...she was showing baby how to clap along with the music! The music was really loud and it was really hot so I don't think she enjoyed as much as we thought she would. We all had fun though!

Anticipation!

I just bought tickets for Doodlebops! We're taking Hailey on Friday and I'm SOOO EXCITED for her! Doodlebops is her favorite show and she just loves singing and dancing along with Deedee, Rooney and Moe! I can't wait to see her face when we get there! Pictures to come...hopefully we'll find the camera battery charger in time!

Whoa Whoa!

She is talking so much now!!! We're not quite sure what "Badabadabada!" means but she gets excited when she says it!

Note how particular she is with the placement of the dispensers....My little OCD baby. :)

MY Daughter!

So we went for a walk tonight and ended up at the park, saying hi to a couple ladies outside the nursing home and today's the day I will remember for the REST of my life. The day I KNEW without a doubt that Hailey is my daughter (besides birth and all that stuff)......she won't walk over grates! We were crossing a slat bridge and she was walking just fine until she realized she could see the water beneath her. I know, I know, it's probably just a toddler fear (that apparently I never grew out of!), but I smiled inside. :)

Fun on a Saturday...

She was being patient....TOO patient....

Hailey just sat on my lap and handed me a hair tie, then another, then another. I had just about a million hair ties total and she wanted them all in her hair.
Little did she know what I was doing!

You know she's cute when she can even pull this hair do off! :)
