Gigantic Reese's

Camey — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:24:27 +0100

We ate at Cracker Barrel over the weekend. While in line waiting to be seated, Brady spied this giant package of Reese's peanut butter cups. He is not a fan of chocolate at all but he does like Reese's. He and the H's were teasing me that I was no fun and wouldn't buy them. Truth is I saw that it looked intriguing to him (and the H's) and had a mental note to go back and buy it later for Christmas. BUT when he went to pay, he secretly grabbed a package of them. He opened it up last night withRead More...

A Winner Finally!

Last Friday, Brady took Hailey to Family Fun Night at school. Its the yearly fundraiser. Hunter was invited to attend a birthday party for his friend and wanted to go to that a little bit more. So I took Hunter and Grayson and Brady took Hailey. She said she had a really good time and I was thrilled to see her finally win at the cakewalk. She so desperately wanted to win last year. All that was left were the tiny cakes but she won! She still hasn't tried it. She didn't see that the label alsoRead More...

Hailey's hair is the same color as the horse 'Jody' she rides at lessons. Pretty!

Countdown to the last day of school paper chain!

A Happy Girl and Boy

Camey — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:52:34 +0100

Recently Hailey was looking for her favorite poncho. It was one that Rhonda knitted for all the girl grandchildren a couple years ago. It had purple multicolored thread and flowers on the bottom. That was Hailey's favorite part. I told her I put it up because it was too small. It really was - Hailey keeps getting taller and taller! She was super bummed. She likes to wear her poncho in class at school when it is chilly. So I called Rhonda and asked her if she could make Hailey a new one. It arRead More...

Happy Birthday Mom!

Camey — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:00:00 +0100

My mother's birthday is the day after our wedding anniversary - February 13th. Even though it has been years since her passing, I still miss her. I will always miss her I suppose. Especially at times when I just wish she were here by my side and for all those times when I long for her to dote on my children and to just simply enjoy all life's moments with us. I remember how much she enjoyed being a grandmother. She was a tough woman and never acted like she was "too old" to do what she wantedRead More...

"It's Not Fair"

Camey — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 15:51:11 +0100

Hunter has a football shaped pencil holder on his desk. It was Brady's as a child.

Friday after school Hailey and I were sharpening pencils and organizing her new work desk that Brady helped me to quickly refinish. Hailey proclaims to us that it wasn't fair that Hunter had that cute pencil holder. She has a pencil cup and apparently the idea of his seemed grander. So after this proclamation, her Read More...

Hailey told me this summer that she needed to find her style. She isn't quite sure what that means other than the fact that she finally has expressed that she doesn't like some of the clothes she has been wearing. She has been so happy go lucky in this department. So I took her shopping to get an idea. I already knew sparkly stuff and bling makes her happy. REALLY HAPPY. I did learn that she does not like the color black at all. She likes bright happy colors. All dark colors bother her. Read More...

That is the sound of Hailey's rock tumbler. The one she got for Christmas last year. We had a little Christmas in July and finally opened it. I was going to put it in the Atrium but thankfully the plug will only work one direction in the outlets in there. I decided to put it out on the front porch bench. We failed to take some before pictures. We are in the second phase right now. It takes some time to do the whole process. In Read More...

Clean Teeth

Camey — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:14:16 +0100

Six months seems to fly by super fast. Hailey went in last week for another teeth cleaning. She likes going just like I do and is a great patient. She mainly likes the reward at the end. A new toothbrush, some floss and a few stickers! I personally like the feeling right after they get all cleaned. She got a clean bill and Hunter got some more observation time. He isn't quite sure about the whole thing yet. Hopefully at his next appointment he will actually open up his mouth. Baby Annabell taRead More...

Chooching and a little bit of tv watching...

Camey — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 22:43:21 +0100

Saturday morning shortly after Hunter woke up he told me he wanted to play with his trains. So after breakfast we got out one of the mighty train boxes. Lucky for Hunter he easily talked Brady into helping him make a track. Like making bracelets, I have no building skills either. I can make a circle train track but HOW BORING when his dad can make fun curves and make the track go under furniture! The living room has been quite the disaster between his trains and Hailey's little toy animals thRead More...

Splish Splashin' & Dinos

Camey — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:20:38 +0100

I drove the kids to Norman this week. They have a splash pad in one of the parks. I took Hailey to it when she was a wee thing but she doesn't remember. I wouldn't tell them what we were going to do but when Hailey asked for some hints I told her we were going to Norman, to a park and that there was a rainbow there. When we pulled up they spied the cool playground and then the splash pad. I asked them if there was anything they might want to try out. They said the playground but then said theRead More...

Glad Tupperwear Bassinet & Purse

Camey — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:26:35 +0100

Rhonda enjoys to knit and does it very well I might add. When she was here visiting, Hailey would sit on the couch by her and watch what she was doing. Hailey likes this kind of stuff and since I am no help, she gravitates to anyone with more skills than I. She and I have a list of things we want to learn to do well someday. So as a movie was playing, Rhonda quickly made this sweet little bassinet that uses a plastic container as its base. She had previously made a cute blanket for the tiny bRead More...

Dad Made This!

Camey — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:04:17 +0100

Hailey likes crafty type things. So when we were in Old Navy returning some items, she saw this bracelet kit at the checkout counter. She was itching to spend the money in her wallet and it was a reasonable price so I let her make the purchase. She asked me to help her figure out how to do it and finally I gave in at the lake house one night. Only it was late and it hurt my brain to try to figure out the instructions. After messing with it for a bit, I gave up. I used to like doing crosRead More...

Toy Story 3 - A Must See :)

Camey — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:25:27 +0100

About a month ago, Hunter started to get into robots. Then we re-watched all the Toy Story movies just a few times. Then Brady took the kids to browse the endless Toy Story toy aisle at Walmart. Hunter wound up getting Buzz. The one that looks just like the one in the movie. After you get over the price of the sucker, it is definitely worth it. It really is fun to play with! Hailey chose 3 of the characters in smaller versions. I love that she claimed them like Andy did. Her initials arRead More...

Bloggity Blog Catch Up Post

Camey — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 17:55:42 +0100

So school is out and we are all enjoying the freedom of summer break. We have been staying up LATE and sleeping IN even longer. We have been spending more time together as a family here at home and going more places. I am loving it. Each day we seem to find something fun and sometimes not so fun things to do - like chores.

Shaped Bracelet Trend

Camey — Thu, 27 May 2010 22:19:56 +0100

So this week I found out that there is a trend at school. There are these cute shaped rubber band like bracelets that are a hot item right now. Hailey was given 2 by her teacher's assistant. Apparently they are for trading too. I went and got Hailey some of her very own to wear to school today so you know she can be hip/cool too! Funny.

* I think it was more of the fact that her favorite friend asked for one back yesterday and told Hailey that she would tell her mommy and her own motheRead More...

Deceptive Look

Camey — Thu, 27 May 2010 22:13:51 +0100

When I was in the store this morning picking up Hailey's new shape bracelets, I saw a package of treats I knew I would enjoy. The kids saw them in the car so I offered up my goods. Hailey really has a thing for sprinkles. She just about gagged in the car. I knew she would. She thought they would be delicious chocolate pieces. Hunter's reaction was better. He did eat his but didn't want any more. These cute little treats are licorice. I love licorice. The black kind. I blame my mother. She lovRead More...

The Plant Journal

Camey — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:04:45 +0100

A couple weeks ago, Hailey said they planted some seeds in class. I loved doing that as a child and she seemed pretty excited too. Yesterday, Hailey showed me her plant journal in the car.
