"Me-Mouse" Party

The day after Hailey's birthday, on October 20, we had a "Me-Mouse" Minnie Mouse Party with our family. Hailey talked about it a lot in the days before her big day. We probably talked about it so much because Addison kept saying how unfair it was that Hailey got to have a birthday and she didn't. Despite my best efforts to remind Addison that she already had a birthday party, and that it was now Hailey's turn, she was MAD!

Hailey loves her baby cousins, Wyatt and Cate! Whenever one of them is around, she says, "I hold it."

This is the best picture I could get of Hailey in her cute new Me-Mouse outfit.

I love this birthday girl!

Hailey got lots of awesome gifts, and was spoiled!

Ethan colored his hair pink for the Minnie Mouse party!

Travis watched a dumb football game...I was mad! I'm still not sure I have forgiven him! I guess I should just be glad he made it to Hailey's actual birth, two years ago. Stupid Football!

Cute Williams

Dessert time..Minnie Mouse Cupcakes and Ice Cream

This lady partied her pants off! As everyone was leaving, she ran over to the railing to say, "Bye, thanks for coming!" So cute!

Hailey is TWO!

Hailey turned two on October 19th. The night before Hailey's birthday, she insisted that she needed to wear shoes to bed. I tried to tell her that we don't wear shoes in bed, but she was crazy about it. Considering that the shoes she picked had never been worn outside, I consented, and she wore them all night, even wore them to eat breakfast on her special day!

Hailey thinks she turned FIVE. Whenever you ask her how old she is, she says, "Five", and holds out five fingers.

This little stink is so funny! She has a crazy personality and makes me laugh. She loves to tease her big sister Addison, but also idolizes her too. She loves to play "Bobbies" Barbies, and babies, and always has to have her blankey. She'll ask me, "Mom, where's my blankie", if she doesn't have it close by. Over the last few weeks, Hailey's language skills have increased dramatically. She speaks in full sentences often with correct tenses on words, and with a huge vocabulary. She was a silent observer for awhile, but not any longer, much to Addison's dismay at times. Hailey will tell me exactly what happened, like, "Addi hit me.", or her favorite, ""Wucas" Lucas bite me". Lucas is a boy in Hailey's school class that bit her a few times. Now, whenever anything happens to her, she blames it on poor Lucas. When I asked her what happened to her scratched nose in these pictures, she said "Wucas, bite me." Ha! Hay Hay only likes to eat candy, cookies, soda, everything her sister doesn't like, and won't eat. She reminds me of Elanore, the chubby Chipette! Her cheeks kill me, and I can't get enough of her chubby tummy. Despite thinking she's chubbby, she's only in the 30% for weight, weighing in at 25 lbs, 6 oz. She's 34 inches long, in the 55%, and her head is 18.5 inches around, 35%. Hailey is such a Momma's Girl that it often frustrates me. She's constantly saying, "Hold you, Mom." She drives me crazy at restaurants because she has to be sitting on my lap, eating my food. I know I should be cherishing this time with her fully and completely, but she ALWAYS wants to be near my side that it's exhausting sometimes. I know I'll look back on this time and miss it, so I'm trying my best to love it and take it a day at a time because I know she'll soon grown out of this. I do love to snuggle with her, and get giant Hailey hugs from her though, and I never tire of her crinkle nose smiles and mischievious laugh. I love you, Hailey!

The night of Hailey's birthday, we went to a new Pizza buffet for dinner with Jo Jo and Poppy. We liked the food, especially their dessert pizzas! Hailey wouldn't know though, because all she ate for dinner was ranch dressing!

After dinner, we headed to our house and opened presents. These pictures look like Christmas morning because Hay's in jammies because she got covered in ranch dressing and needed a bath, and the Christmas wrapping paper. She got spoiled with lots of clothes, and a new baby, and shopping cart.

Love These Ladies!

The other day before we headed off to "school" Kindercare, I just had to snap a picture of my BIG girls. They looked so cute with their backpacks, and were in such a great mood, that I had to capture it!

Disneyland

We surprised our girls with a trip to Disneyland while we were in California. I wish I had their reaction on video. They were so excited. Addison jumped up and started screaming. Hailey starting turning around and around in circles saying, "princess, princess." We went to Mickey's Halloween party which startes at 3 PM and goes until 11 PM. My girls wore their princess costumes, and got to trick or treat. For them, the most exciting part was meeting "The Princesses"!! We got to spend over an hour in line waiting to meet Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, and Cinderella. After watching my girls interact with the princesses being in complete awe of them, and they way they've talked about it since, it was the best hour plus I've spent in a long time! It was just too bad Hailey spilled all over her princess dress just before we went to see them! We went on some rides, not tons because it was busy, but enough, saw a parade, and fireworks. We really just spent time doing what our girls wanted to do, and it was great!
