Hailey’s 8th Birthday Party

Melanie — Sun, 12 Oct 2014 20:59:52 +0000

I can not believe that Hailey is already 8 years old. It makes me so sad when I think about how fast these last 8 years have gone by because I know the next 8 will be even faster. Anyway, here are some pictures from Hailey’s 8th birthday party.

It’s hard to believe it’s possible, but Rich turned 40! Here are a few pictures of the celebration:

Easter morning we found some eggs in our hallway- Hunter said it was Easter bunny poop.

Heading down the hall to see what else they would find

An American Girl sewing craft

A bubble gun

Hunter found his Easter basket hidden behind the curtain in our dining room.

It took a while, but Hailey eventually found her Easter basket in the hall closet.

Christmas 2013

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Here are some pictures of our fun:

Hunter wasn’t too sure about seeing Santa. At first he was very excited to go and sit on his lap. When we got there and got close it was a different story. He did agree to stand next to him though

Christmas Eve picture- wearing their new pajamas… if you look closely at Hunter he has his Lightning McQueen pajamas under his new pajamas.

Looks like Santa came to our house!

Seeing the presents for the first time.

They had lots of fun opening their gifts:

Birthday Trip to the Great Wolf Lodge

Melanie — Sat, 12 Oct 2013 14:38:55 +0000

Hailey decided that she wanted to take a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge for her birthday this year instead of having a party. We invited my parents to come along and we had so much fun!

Hunter and Hailey checking out our room- we had a Kid Kamp room and they loved it!

July 4th Party

Melanie — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 01:34:18 +0000

We had our annual 4th of July party this year. It was a weekend full of fun- starting with a surprise 60th birthday party for my dad on Friday night. The next morning we all went to my parents house where my Uncle Dave made his famous omelets for breakfast. We pretty much spent the rest of the weekend eating, talking, laughing and just having fun together. I didn’t take very many pictures for some reason though, so here’s the few that I have:

Uncle Ralph and Rich

Fruit platter (it’s a monkey, but I’m sure you already knew that)

Talking, laughing and listening to my dad share some of the “60 Years of Memories” he was given at his birthday party.

Hunter didn’t want to miss any of the excitement, so he would not take a nap. He fell asleep playing instead.

Anika and Hailey enjoying the pool.

It was a wonderful weekend!! We loved seeing lots of family and missed the ones who couldn’t be there.
