Happy Birthday Hadley!!!

Sweet Hadley turned one on Tuesday. I can't believe it has been a year. Hadley is such a sweet baby. She has been a true blessing to our family. We all adore her. We are having her party on Saturday, with family coming into town. But Tuesday we had a little cake for her. She ate every bit of her piece, sucking every bit off her fingers! Her favorite present was the Spiderman phone (I tried to get one that looked the most like mine....so Spiderman it was!). We will be celebrating all week, so I'm sure more pictures are to come!!

Go Purple Pixies!!

Saturday was the first official game of the Purple Pixies!!! It is a girls softball team....and guess who is the coach....Matt!! He was so funny, he thought that the coach's shirt might be purple and he was refusing to wear it. He did finally admit he would wear it if Maylee really wanted him to....turns out it wasn't purple after all, all that worry for nothing!

The game was so funny. Maylee's best friend Chloe is on the team, and they had a blast playing in the dirt (kind of reminds me of soccer!). They actually pitch to them first, and then if they don't get a hit, they get to use the tee. Maylee hit from the pitch not one but TWO times!!! Then she took off running to third! Then would run around the bases. Too cute. We got home and used diapers for bases, and practiced stomping on the base. We will see if that helps.

Here are a few pics in her uniform....maybe next week the camera will actually make it to the game!

First day...take two

Hadley had her first day of Mother's Day Out yesterday. She did really well, her teachers had some cute stories of her day. I thought I was going to have so much time to do so many things, but the day flew by. I'm sure that is how every Thursday will be!

School Daze

School finally started this Tuesday.....WooWhoo!!!! The girls were really excited. Hadley is just going on Thursday, so tomorrow is her big day. Here are a few pics from the first day.......you may be asking yourselves "how many pictures did you take", but lets not even go there....I always tend to take a lot. I love Hadley looking out the door, so badly wanting to be included!!

The girls had so much fun at school, but they are worn out. It is going to take a while to get back into this school thing....until it really starts for Maylee next year....that is really going to be a shock to OUR systems!!

Our little sweetie pie!!!

I can't believe at the end of this week, Hadley will be 11 months! Just one month away from one....she can finally face forward, yeah! She is such a joy, and such a good baby. These days she is really a daddy's girl. She watches Matt like a hawk. She loves LOVES her big sisters too, and the feeling is mutual. Here are a few cute pics of our sweet baby...

Oh Happy Day...

Since the day Ella started to walk, she has wanted to join Maylee in her dance class. It has been a long two years....but today was the day. Ella started dance. She was SO excited. She had so much fun in the class, so it should be a good year with dance. Maylee moved from the pink class to the blue class. She was quite excited to wear blue.
















Can't you see the excitement??!!


















Look at that sass coming out!



This past weekend we headed down to College Station for our annual "Aggie Reunion" with a group of our friends. We had so much fun. It was really fun to see all the kids together.....they seem to multiply every year! Hadley didn't make the group shot, (as I didn't quite trust Maylee to hold her), so I included her having fun at the pool. It really was a great weekend with great friends.

New Foodie Find

Ok, we love cereal and I recently found this cereal. We love it. It is so good for you, and it tastes pretty good too. It has 10g of fiber (which is all whole grain and no lab created fiber) in 3/4 cup and 7g of protein. Also if you have the Sneaky Chef's breakfast cookie recipe, this cereal has made the best cookies yet. I found this at Central Market, but it may be in other stores...I just haven't looked. I know this is so random that I would blog or get excited about cereal....but that is me for you! Just thought I would share!
