Halloween 2008

Hailey enjoyed Halloween this year! She was saying "trick or treat" and "thank you" without any prompting by the time Her and Kenzie got to the 3rd house. Kenzie started doing the same as soon as she heard Hailey saying it. We went to see Aunt Jill and Uncle Bryan first then when Kenzie, Aunt Kandi and Uncle Chris got there we went walking around their neighborhood for a little while. The girls were a hit, everyone thought they were adorable!! (of course!!) Hailey would not give up her trick or treat bucket no matter how heavy it got and she begrudingly gave in towards the end to let daddy put her on his shoulders. After trick or treating with Kenzie (maybe an hour...they walk slow) we stopped by MeMe and Granddad's. MeMe had a special trick or treat bag for her. Granddad walked her over to the neighbor's house and she got some treats from the neighbors and another special trick or treat back from MeMe's friends/neighbors Italo and Maria (they are from New York and Giants fans.....BOO BOOO BOOO). We left there and came home and she went fast asleep when we laid her down. Mama hid the candy she does not need and left out the other goodies...books,toys and teddy grahams.

I have some pictures I am waiting on from Jill and Ev.....I will have to post those when I get them.


Here we are at the end of the night in the car

Outside Meme and Granddad's door

Hailey and Kenzie trick or treating

We saw another little girl about Hailey's age dressed as Elmo so of course we had to get a picture of Elmo and Abby!!

Here we at Aunt Jill's house.....Hailey was checking out one of the many fish tanks they have.

Isn't she an adorable Abby Cadabby!

We are leaving the house in the beginning of the night. There was an airplane going by..had to watch it...of course.

Checking out her trick or treat bag and her wand.

OH YEAH.......for those of you who do not know what she is dressed as..........There is a fairly new character on Sesame Street called Abby Cadabby, she is one of Elmo's best friends (he has a few) and she is a fairy in training. Hailey LOVES Elmo and Abby! she has other fav's...but those are the top 2!

Enjoy the pictures...When I get the others...I will post them!

Much about nothing.....

Not much happening around here. Hailey is adjusting very well to school...she loves it and gets excited when we turn onto the street where school is. She does not really nap at school though....dont know what to do about that!

Football...and fantasy football is in full swing......I am doing half and half in both my leagues....Glenne is doing pretty good in most of his leagues! We are pumped about the Phillies in the World series race....CANNOT BELIEVE THE RAIN DELAY TONIGHT!!!!!

Glenne is busy in work, my work is finally slowing down a bit from the hurricane...thank goodness.

Hailey is talking up a storm and is like a sponge taking and learning everything.

We are haivng Hailey's birthday party on 11/15. I cannot believe that she is going to be 2 yrs old already.....where did the time go???!!!???!!!! Glenne and Hailey had a cold the last week or so....I have been dealing with sinus issues since the hurricane. I hope she does not get too many colds but I know starting school it was bound to happen.

I think that is it for now.......I have totally fallen off the healthy wagon, I need to try to be a little better. I have gotten into cooking and that is not helping much. I do try to cook with light/non fat foods though. Oh well.....

Till next time my friend...and family.......

This and that.......

Here are just a few pics of nothing in particular.

Trip to philly.....MISS YOU UNCLE KEN!!

The first weekend in sept Hailey and I went to Philly unexpectedly. Uncle Ken had passed away and we went up for the funeral. It was the first time I traveled that way with Hailey by myself. She did very well on the plane coming and going. She loved meeting all her cousins and other family members. We got lucky going and coming with a empty seat next to us both ways. It was so great to see everyone, even if it was for such a sad occasion. I know Uncle Ken would have had a great time playing with Hailey and seeing her play with Hannah, Molly and David. We flew into philly the day that tropical storm hanna was in philly....we were delayed leaving Houston and circled Philly for a long time too....but we made it safely. When we came back to Houston a few days later Hurricane Ike hit houston and we all know about IKE!!

Here are some pics taken from my phone from our trip.

Here we are leaving Philly...waiting for them to tell us we could board the plane to come home.

Isnt she just the cutest!

All these pics were taken from my phone so the quality is not the best!

The NuNu

Well.....she did it!! She went on the NuNu at Chuck e cheese. She did not stay on the whole time for the ride (according to Daddy) but she at least went on it this time. I honestly do not know the obessesion/fear of this thing. I guess we are getting somewhere though since she at least went on it this time.

Little Ballerina

Hailey has a couple ballerina tutu's. This one finally fits her. I was going to send her to Meme's on day in this outfit...but she kept pulling the skirt off. She looked so cute that I had to take a few pictures. These were the best I could get. I plan on taking this outfit when I get her 2 yr pics done. She is so hard to get a good picture lately cause she does not stop moving!

Pumpkin patch

On sunday (10/26) we went to the Pumpkin patch. It is at the Old time Christmas tree farm near us. They have train and hay rides, and jumping slides and stuff. They had goats that you could feed and food too. Hailey had lots of fun running around and trying to pick up the pupmkins. It was a hot day and we went early......but we have a cold front coming in today....low of 39 deg tomorrow morning.

Here we are with the Mama and baby goat. Hailey kept putting hay in the pen trying to get them to eat it.

she got stuck in between the pumpkins in this picture.

here we are on the train

now on the hayride!
