Silly Dreams


Wonder what she's dreaming about?  Must be really good if she's upside down and all sprawled out!  But when I asked, she couldn't remember.

Only a few mornings later, she woke up excited to tell us that she had remembered her dream this time!
"I had the best dream!  I got to go to Heaven and see Jesus and I hugged him SO big!!  I squeezed him so big that his head popped off!"
Well, that's interesting.

Yeee-Haw!!


It was a BIG day at Em's preschool on Friday....RODEO Day!!  They've been preparing and anticipating for weeks, so we were pretty excited to get there!  Best part?  Mommy got to have a little 1on1 time with her first born ;).  It's so fun for me to see her in that environment, with all the little buddies she comes home talking about and watching her in action.  I got to be one of the parents for her rotation group and we had the best time with Zeke, Ashely, Em & Zeke's mommy, Dawn!

First up was the Cowboy Relay....up and back, put on a big hat, boots & vest, RUN!! 


Picture frames for their horse photos.  Which brings us to the one bummer of the day...since it was raining cats & dogs, the horse that was supposed to come (and get photoed) had to be cancelled.  But we have been reassured that he WILL return ;).  And I think they had enough fun with the frames all by themselves!


Planting Bluebonnets!


A little gun slinging ;).  This was seriously the neatest toy and they loved "shooting" the items off the fence!


Stick horse & Three-legged Races.  We laughed SO. HARD.  Precious!


And last but certainly not least, some hula hoop roping!  They loved this one.


After all the activities, we got to help out with lunch and then watch the class do an ADORABLE square dance!  I about died watching her first dance with a boy.  (A boy that we love, by the way.  He and his family are friends of ours from church & he is a hoot!)


YEEEE-HAWWWWW, my little Cowgirl!

Mommy's Sous Chef

Our sweet Hayden is just about the most domestic little girl you've ever met!  She LOVES cooking, cleaning & taking care of babies.  It's precious!  Her daddy likes to joke that he can't imagine where she's even seen those things!  Har-dee-har ;).  But she really has become my own personal little sous chef!  She always wants to help with dinner & I love having my sidekick right there!

Today Em had preschool & we skipped out on Tiny Tots (because of all that rain!) which gave us the perfect opportunity to get our "bake" on!!  When I asked what she wanted to make, she quickly chose cupcakes.  She immediately started planning how excited her big sister and daddy would be when they saw our surprise!  So thoughtful ;).  So we got down to business!

 Pouring so carefully!

 First time using the hand mixer and she did great!!

 Bubba even got to be one of the beater-lickers!

 Ready for the oven!

Blue + Pink = Purple frosting!

She let her sissy help with the frosting & sprinkles. 

 YUMMY!!

Sneaking a lick.  Hey, if you're the cook, you can do whatever you like!

Rockin' the Shades

Rainbow Bread


So our Hayden is working on learning her colors over here, and I remembered doing this with Em when she was younger.  And what a great idea it was!!  They loved every minute of it...adding the colored drops to their milk, "painting" their bread and of course, gulping the milk & gobbling up their rainbow bread!! 


Green - Pink - Blue
I think she's finally getting it!

Since Em already knows the basic colors, we tried to bump it up a notch and worked on:
turquoise, chartreuse & magenta!


LOTS of meticulous painting!




Yummy!!

A day at the park!

Today we had ourselves a little park playdate with our good buddy, T!!  Isn't this weather beautiful!?  And that sweet little guy, it's hard to know which of my girlies love him more, but this time, Hayden managed to get a little hand holdin' in ;).


Oh yeah, she did!!
