Hailey's Birthday

Hailey had her fourth birthday! I can believe how big she is getting. She loves to dress up and anything with a princess on it.
I love it that most of the time Hailey is completely clueless when she is in trouble. The other day she was playing with her poly pockets and decieded that they needed to go for a swim. So she filled up the bathroom sink which overflowed onto our carpeted bathroom floor. I walked in and sternly asked her what she was doing. Her response was "Its okay mom I'm watching them closely so that they don't drowned."
Hailey loves to swim she just finished her first swimming lesson. She is so excited that she is not a seahorse any more. Now she is a "hog-wog" poliwog.
We are so blessed to have her energy and bubbly personality. We love you Hailey!

Graduation

Camren graduated from kindergarten to year. I can't believe how big she is. She had done such an amazing job this year. The kindergartners learned to count to 100 by 1's 2's 5's and 10's. They learned how to spell and make sentences. Camren's favorite subject is reading. She has caught on to reading and is now reading chapter books. We went to the library a couple of days ago and she informed the librarian that she reads books for 3rd to 4th graders.
A few more important things Camren learned this year is "never to steal from the school, it's not fun to go to the principals office and that she will miss her teacher." I'm not really sure why these are the things she remembers to most, but I guess they are good lessons to learn.

House update

The house is coming along nicely, but I am getting impatient. Every time we go to it I get more and more excited! Here are a few pictures of the progress.

Lost Tooth

We've been waiting for four or five days for Camren's tooth to come out. She has actually been waiting for a couple of years, but it finally started to wiggle a couple of days ago. Chris told her she should apply pressure and wiggle it back and forth. So she's been working on it. Finally yesterday morning she let me pull on it. It came out with a little bit of a struggle and I thought for sure that she would start to cry. To my surprise instead of crying as soon as she saw the tooth she started laughing. She didn't even care that she was bleeding. She was just so happy to have that tooth out. Her class sang to her at school and the tooth fairy came last night. What a lucky girl!

Piano Recital

Camren had her Spring piano recital tonight. She did such a great job. It amazes me all of the things her piano teacher has her doing. She is doing scales and cords right now. Her hands are to small, but she stretches them and makes it work for her.
Here's a recording of the recital. Camren was nervous, but I think she did wonderful. She is playing "Happy Family".

Inspired

I've been wanting to make bows for the girls for a long time. I was inspired by all of the cute hair things you've all been making. Then I remembered why I don't do these kinds of projects. My ribbon ends up in a knot. I did make Sadie a cute flower for her hair though. She even has enough hair to clip it in.

Hailey is such a girly girl. One thing that I never have been able to do is curl her hair. She has always had the straightest hair that won't hold a curl for anything. I finally went and got some sponge rollers for her. She did a great job at keeping them in. The end result is so cute. I asked her last night if she want to put them in again. She was so excited.

Mustache!

Okay so its been a while since we revealed the stach. I got a lot of comments about it, but haven't written about it because 1. I can't get a good picture of it and 2. I am just now resigning myself to the fact that my husband has a mustache. I am not a fan of it and I can tell you this because Chris is not either.
Heres the question. Does it really make him look that much older? Apparently, Chris doesn't look a day over 20 without it. People like their doctors older and wiser.
