Hailey is really liking school now! We have had 3 days where we have not had any crying when I dropped her off at school. Today she did not even give me a second thought. She walks in and gives the teacher her lunch box and as I am unpacking her back she is telling her teacher that I have her backpack. She is very proud of all her art work that she brings home from school. She can now recognize and point out the color red too. She has already been able to pick out circle and square before she started school. She still loves to sing and if you start singing.....you cannot stop. She just says more, more, more. She is talking so much more now too. We still dont know all that she is saying, but we try and when we figure it out she gives us a "hah" to let us know that is what she was saying.
This past saturday Glenne and Hailey went to Gymbo (gymboree) and then right after they went to Chuck E Cheese. They are in the same shopping center. Hailey has been to "cheese" a few times but not enough for the obsession she has with it! lol At the "cheese" by gymbo they have a kiddie ride of the NUNU from teletubbies. Since then she has been OBSESSED with the nunu. It is all we have heard all week. When we went to gymbo on wed she stood at the window yelling "cheese" so I had to distract her and also when we were leaving. Tonight daddy told her that they will go saturday again.
She really is getting quite the personality....and quite the mind of her own. Her personality is a lot like Glenne, but she looks like me. We are definitley dealing with her trying to see what her boundries are and what she is able to do. Discipline is always a challenge because she is learning to just not even acknowledge that you are calling her. I did time out the other day because she is trying to climb up on her changing table. She did not cry, I am not sure if she even knows what it is yet. She is definitely becoming this little person!! She is growing up way to fast for me! :-(
That is about it for now.......till next time

Videos of Hailey
Here are a couple video's of Haily playing around at Hooks airport/the duck pond.
These 2 video's are of Fri afternoon before the hurricane. Hailey enjoyed the wind blowing all around her.
Enjoy....Thanks for looking.
Visiting the ducks...before Ike hit
Here are a few pictures of Hailey, we went to feed the ducks friday afternoon before Ike hit. We got a few good ones and also some video too.
This is my favorite!

Art work from school
Here is a couple pictures of some artwork Hailey did in school. September the color of the month was red and they learned some nursery rhymes too. Hailey can pick out the color red too!
She is adjusting well to school, she missed 3 days cause the schools were closed a week and a half from the hurricane. This past thursday was the first day that we did not have any tears when I dropped her off. When grandma picks her up she has to show her all the toys in the room. The teachers say that Hailey is doing great too. She did not nap last week, I am hoping this is just a phase. The director and the teachers are all very nice and all seem to adore Hailey (how could they not!!) I think that as time goes on she will be running in and then I am sure I will be sad that day! LOL

Bet you did not know that we owned water front property in Spring, TX!
Sunday morning we woke up to power.....Glenne jumped out of bed and was dancing, Hailey and I were cracking up at him. We get a knock on the door a little while later and its our neighbor telling us to move our car up further in the drive way. At that point Glenne called "family, please come to the door" and we saw that our entire neighborhood was flooded. We do not know it it was from clogged sewer's or if the storm surge and all the rain in the sewer's. The entire neighborhood was underwater. I do not know if anyone got water in their homes or not. We got water up to the middle, or a little higher up the front lawn. Needless to say...we were not going anywhere that day....and unfortunately we could not drive on the street till tuesday. Kandi and Chris did not have power still so they braved the water and came over...so did Jill and Bryan. We cooked up food and ate a lot, watched football.
On Monday we were going stir crazy....I think knowing that you cannot get out makes it worse. Glenne went into the garage and got out an air mattress and an old baby tub of Hailey's. He put the air mattress in the water and the tub on top of the mattress and pushed Hailey up and down the street. She thought it was a blast, I was a bit nervous cause she jsut does not stop moving.
Glenne and Hailey going up the street. (notice the comcast truck...he did not move for 3 days or so)
Hailey pretending to go nite nite
This frog was just sitting on the faucet on the side of the house.
This is what we woke up to on sunday morning.

Hope you enjoy the pictures. Life on Bella Luna ct is back to normal now...THANK GOODNESS!!!

More Ike
Here are some pictures taken from my cell phone saturday afternoon when we ventured out. We needed to feel some air conditioning!! It was raining early afternoon, then it stopped and in the middle of the night saturday a storm came thru and it poured down....but it brought it cool weather for the rest of the week.
This is a picture of the lights hanging outside our neighborhood.
A cop in the distance trying to tie down a traffic light.
The white part of the dennys sign blown out
Hailey and Kenzie
I have some more of a car under water on a street by us...and one of a electric pole going across a road. I need to upload them.

We survived Hurricane Ike a lot better then other in the Houston and surrounding area. We had Kandi, Chris, Kenzie and Kandi's mom stay over fri night. We got rain and it was very windy. We lost power for 24hours and others lost it for a lot longer, we were very lucky there. The day we were without power it was so hot and once the Hurricane passed thru there was no wind. Hailey handled it all pretty well. I am posting some pictures of the hurricane coming in and of the girls playing.
Here is Ike coming in, the sky was really dark and eerie looking.
We had to put the gate up , the girls were in the kitchen and that is a NO NO in our house.
this is sat afternoon. Hailey has an obsession with stickers and likes to put them all over her
More pictures of the sky.....sorry these are not in any particular order
Hailey and Kenzie playing....they actually asked Glenne to take a picture of them.
