Glenne's first try at ponytails!!!!
Today Glenne did Hailey's hair differnt then what he normally does ...which is putting a headband on. Before I started work I did her hair in pig tails and then braided them. It did last longer then just regular pig tails..but she still pulled them out. She is getting better though.

Hailey's friend Aryanna's 2nd birthday party
Last sunday we were invited to Hailey's friend Aryanna's bday party. She turned 2 on 6/18. Aryanna lives next door to Meme and on the other side of Meme is her other friend Daniella. The 3 of them are best friends. Daniella is a month older the Hailey and Aryanna is the youngest at just turning 2. I am glad that she has some kids her age at her Meme's house to play with.
For all your Northerners...this is a Pinata. In Texas..it is at a lot of bday parties. The kids love to beat it to get the candy out that is inside of it.
Hailey had the idea of what to do but needed a little assistance on how to do it..so I assited her then was told that she could do it herself.
A peacock roaming the grounds of the "old macdonald farm" where the party was.
As you can see from the red cheeks...it was very hot...as the day progressed..she just got redder! (if that is a word)
Hailey and Aryanna....they were just walking around doing their toddler thing.

Swimming at the pool
Hailey is really getting confident swimming at the pool. She will swim with either her arm swimmies or her suit (with the built in float/vest). She is doing so great and just loves to be in the water. Here are a few pictures.....she was not happy with having to face Daddy to take the pictures instead of playing in the water. Please excuse my pool hair! lol

Visit to the Zoo
I took a tuesday off of work and we went to the zoo. We have not been since April. It was a very hot day ( I know, very surprising for us in south Texas in the summer). We took the wagon but Hailey of course had to walk through a lot of the zoo. We took some pics, here they are.
There are a few pictures of the piranah..we were waiting for the feeding to start. They had a tunnel that you could crawl through in the middle of the aquarium. Hailey was not into going through the tunnel. *this is just some other kid that was going through*
Hailey with me behind her and Glenne at the other end trying to get her to go through.
The farthest she got into the tunnel.
Standing outside ....................
This monkey followed us from one end of his habitat to the other.....he was a funny little guy!

Looking cool.......Model pose here!
Checking out the sea lions on our way out of the zoo
As we were leaving the zoo she saw the lady had a stamper ....so she was nice enough to give Hailey a stamp of a flamingo on her hand as we were leaving.
The big "cheese" smile...she was pretty exhausted at this point but still REFUSES to fall asleep in the car.

We saw the giraffe's and elephants. She loved the zoo and we did not even see all the animals when we went. We will be going again......not sure if it will be while its so hot though. We got there a little after 10am and left about 1pm and were dripping in sweet with 100 deg temps. It was a lot of fun!!!

Max the Puggle
Hello Everyone.....
I am writing to say after much debate....we have decided to find Max a home where he will get more attention and the exercise and activity that he deserves. He is such a good puppy that we had a hard time coming to this decision. We have been thinking about this becasue he wants to play and be more active then we have time to give him. Hailey had a hard time playin on the floor cause Max would try to eat her toys and he wanted constant attention that we could not give him without taking away from Hailey. Hailey is our priority and we felt bad nto giving Max what he deserves. We found a wonderful young couple who already have a 2yr old female puggle. They go to the dog park and go for walks everyday with their dog Shelby. The dogs met and were playing and chasing each other from the start. They took Max for a few days to see if he was the right fit for their family and called and told us they want to keep him. We were not going to give him to just anyone and they can give him so much more love and attention/activity then we can give him at this time in our lives.
Glenne has said that he will triple think getting another pet!! At this time work, Hailey and enjoying her is enough for our lives. We did not want to continue to keep Max and not give him what he deserves.

Day at the beach...Crystal Beach
Yesterday we went to Crystal beach for the day. We discovered this little town on Bolivar Peninsula last summer and fell in love. We were upset when Hurricane Ike hit last september...We were hesitant to go back but went to check it out. The beach itself is great, the town is not close to where they were last year..but they are rebuilding.
Glenne and Hailey in the water. This year she would go off and play in the water with Glenne and I got to relax on the beach. ( I may try bringing a book with me next time! haha)
She was concentrating so much and enjoying playing this was the only picture I got of her looking up at me..sorta!
She loves the beach and playing in the sand.
Notice the 2 buckets...she was switching back and forth betweent he buckets putting the sand in them....and shells she found too
putting sand in both buckets......
Ok...so a little backwards here....but oh well! To get to Crystal Beach on Bolivar Peninsula you can take one highway and take the one road all the way in or take the ferry boat over (it can be a wait) and get out of the car for the boat ride and watch the dolphins swimming next to or in front of the boat. Hailey loves to look for the dolphins and at one point either goint to the beach or coming back there was one directly in front of us....if we were beyond the ramp we could have touched it!!!!
Here is a picture of one of the ferry's passing us.
Little Miss Independent Hailey had to get down and stand by herself so we found a hole for her to look thru to see the water
She eventually decided that it was a better view on Daddy's shoulders.
I think this was a shrimping boat in Galveston Bay.....the seagulls and other birds were just swarming the boat. As the boat was chugging along you could also see some of the dolphins following the boat.
Thanks for looking.....there will be lots more boring beach, pool pictures throughout the summer!

Yesterday we went to Crystal beach for the first time since Hurricane Ike. We did not know what to expect. It was practically leveled. They are rebuilding. I thought it would be interesting to post some pictures of when we were there last July and from yesterday so you can see how much was destroyed by the hurricane.
Here is a picture down one of the roads from the place we stayed last July. There were LOTS of houses.
A view from the Beach....you can see all the roof tops and trees
Another view from the beach.....the sand dunes had green vegatation on them, the beach looked big then!
Here are 2 that we took yesterday..........Post Hurricane Ike!
The beach is HUGE now.....the line where the public beach used to start has been moved to the hurrican and land lost (something like that..there is a word for it, I cannot remember what they call it). All that extra beach is where one or 2 rows of homes used to be and now they cannot rebuild there.
All you can see it empty space and telephone/electric poles. From what we saw all the houses were being built higher up off the ground. The roads are still very bumpy. The town is coming back.....it will take time for them. We drove past empty fields that used to be filled with houses and businesses.
If you want to see these pictures bigger just click on the picture itself and you will get just the picture on the page.
I do have pictures from our fun time on the beach yesterday. I will do those in a different post.
