Mothers Day

Mimi came on Thursday night to watch Hailey on Friday. Brian put on a golf tournament for Bethany Christian Adoption Services where he serves on the board. The tournament was a huge success. It was a lot of hard work and we couldn't be more proud of Brian and all he has done. On Sunday we went to church and then had both sets of parents to the house for lunch and to celebrate. Uncle Jason and Auntie Alli came by after having lunch with her parents. Hailey was in her element showing off and performing for her audience. She was a hoot. My mom brought her back some cowgirl boots and a cowgirl hat from Texas and she loves wearing them. It was nice getting to celebrate Mothers day with both families. I hope all you moms had a wonderful Mothers day. (The highlight of my day was watching Brian and Hailey vacuuming downstairs together before church).

She did it.

Well, we woke up Saturday morning and realized we had no freezer. Everything in it was melting and defrosting. So we salvaged what we could put Hailey in the car (in the onesie she slept in) and headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house. When we got there I started putting things in their freezer while Brian got Hailey out of the car. She would not get out until she had everything she needed. She had to have her coat, boots, sunglasses and hat. She looked so funny, and she did it all on her own, now I am nervous about when she gets older and wants to dress herself all the time.

By the time we all got ready and were heading out to run errands our fridge stopped working as well. So we packed up everything and went back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Hailey stayed and played on the deck with her bubbles, which are her favorite.

Playing in the rain

This past weekend we went to Uncle Jason and Aunt Allison's house to celebrate popi's birthday. It started raining that afternoon and Hailey had a blast playing and dancing in the rain. She loves to be outside no matter what the weather is doing. We had a good time celebrating and spending time with family. Popi's birthday is actually today (4/30) so happy birthday Popi!

Premier

Last month we went to the premier of Leatherheads. Some of it was filmed in Charlotte so they had a small premier before the movie came out in theaters. Since the actors stayed at Ballantyne they were given some tickets. We had to sit in the 4th row from the front but that was OK because they got us closer to George Clooney and Renee. In the row behind us were most of the Carolina Panther players and coach Fox. I didn't know who any of the players were (big surprise since I am such a huge football fan. Ha Ha). But I did know coach Fox and Jake. A girl that was with us took these pictures and just sent them to us.

It was a fun night. George and Renee were only there for about two minutes and then they left but it was still exciting.

A little too big

Hailey loves to have a coat on. If she sees one anywhere in the house she has to put it on and zip it up. So the other day she saw the jacket I wear to the Y when it is chilly and was determined to wear it. It was really big so I had to roll up the sleeves but she loved it and wouldn't let me take it off. I can remember always trying to wear my moms things when I was little. It was so cute I just had to take a few photos.

The biggest one yet

Well I feel just awful. We were at the park yesterday and Hailey fell down and got scraped up. We have been stuck inside most of the week because it has been overcast and looked like rain. So yesterday was beautiful and Hailey was so excited to be outside. She was running around the playground and she took off out of the park. I was following her and thought she was going to the wagon to get a sip of her drink. But instead she went down the sidewalk and was going a little too fast. She started to fall and I went to catch her but I think that only made it worse. She went down on her knee and then when I tried to get her she face planted and scraped her cheek pretty bad.

I know that this is just the beginning and that there will be a lot of scrapes and bumps and bruises but I still hate it. I feel so bad for her. I have been putting neosporin (sp?) on it so hopefully it won't leave a scar.

First Haircut

Hailey had her first haircut today. I know she doesn't have a lot of hair but it was getting long in little sections and was starting to look shaggy. We took her to a place in the Stonecrest shopping center called Doolittles. She got to sit in a little red fire truck and she loved it. She wasn't sure of the spray bottle and why the lady kept combing her hair funny. But all in all she did great and when we went to leave she wanted to go back inside. The last two pictures are her after shots.
