Parent Teacher Conference

November 12th, 2011 Melanie Posted in Hailey No Comments »

We had Hailey’s first kindergarten parent- teacher conference the other day and here are a few things her teacher said about her:

When Hailey does her show and tell everyone is very quiet and listens to what she has to say.  She is excellent at speaking in front of the class and really knows how to keep their attention.

When kids write their stories during writing workshop, Hailey is often in their stories.

All the kids love her and she gets along really well with all of the kids in the class.

It’s like talking to an adult with the words Hailey uses and understands.

Her teacher wouldn’t be surprised if Hailey is a teacher someday.

We are so proud of Hailey and how hard she works and how much she loves school!

Disney Vacation 2011 Day 5

November 9th, 2011 Melanie Posted in Disney World, Family, Hailey, Me, Rich, Vacation No Comments »

Half way through the trip!  I must get these posts done before Christmas!!

On the 5th day my plan was for us to sleep in and hang out at the pool for the day.  When we got up in the morning Hailey said she really didn’t want to go swimming all day because she wanted to go to the parks and go on rides.  It turns out that Rich didn’t want to spend a day at the hotel either.  We did sleep in and took it kind of slow in the morning, but then headed to a park.

We had breakfast at our hotel and Hailey and I found this Hidden Mickey on the floor in the food court.

Hailey getting ready to eat a yummy breakfast of pancakes and sausage.  Right after I took this picture Hailey squeezed her maple syrup container and it went all over.  Nice sticky mess :-)

We picked Epcot to go to.

Us on our way in to Epcot.

First we rode Spaceship Earth.

Then we went to the Space Base play area so Hailey could play for a little while on the playground.

Hailey wanted to try Mission Space Race.

Rich and Hailey playing the game.

It was super hot- as expected in Florida during August.  Hailey kept cool with her water squirting fan.

Getting Mulan’s autograph.

Jasmine, Hailey and Aladdin

Hailey and Rich taking a little break to make some music.

We went on the Norway boat ride- Maelstrom.  Hailey remembered the ride from last year and was talking about certain parts of the ride she remembered.  She did that a lot- she would talk about stuff that we did in 2010 that she remembered doing.  It amazes me what she remembers!

Posing in the gift shop at Maelstrom.

Then we stopped in Mexico

On the Gran Fiesta Tour boat ride.

Time to cool off again :-)

Hailey and Rich went on Test Track while I rested in the AC.

Then we got to meet Mickey and Pluto.

Mickey, Hailey and Pluto

A hug for Mickey…

…and a hug for Pluto.

Us with Mickey and Pluto

Afterwards we played the Great Piggy Bank adventure- Hailey loves this game!

Time to cool down with some yummy ice cream.

A big hug for the Beast.

Awww… a kiss from the Beast.

Riding on Journey into Imagination with Figment

Getting some energy out.

Time to see the 3D Captain EO show.  I may have taken a little nap during this show :-)

Then we went to see Storm Struck

Afterwards Hailey worked on making a first aid kit.

Then we went to Universe of Energy.  It surprised me how often Hailey asked to do this ride- it’s pretty long and doesn’t seem all that exciting for a kid- but she loved it!

We had dinner at Sunshine Seasons

Hailey on the Nemo ride

Hailey always has to stop and pose for pictures after the Nemo ride.

Trying to get away from Bruce.

Rich and Hailey in Bruce’s mouth.

Rich and Hailey went and rode Spaceship Earth again while I went to pick up our free pictures from the meet and greet we had with Mickey and Pluto earlier in the day.

We stopped and watched the fountains for a little while.

Then it was time for Illuminations:

After Illuminations Hailey fell asleep immediately while we were walking to the buses.  She stayed asleep the whole time- in her stroller, on the bus, on our way back to our room, etc.  We were able to just put her right to bed!  I didn’t get to ask her what her favorites were for today since she was so tired.

All ready to go trick or treating

When we went out front to take a picture with the pumpkins we saw this spider.  I’ve never seen such a huge spider.  When we screamed for Rich to come see it he was even surprised at the size of it.

Random Pictures From October

October 28th, 2011 Melanie Posted in Family, Hailey, Rich No Comments »

Hailey got this shirt for her birthday.  She had begged for one of these shirts that she could color in and decorate herself.  The marker washes off though, so I bought some permanent fabric markers for the next time so it will stay colored.

Hailey wrote her own Thank You cards this year for her birthday.  She was so proud of herself that she was able to write them out on her own.  She loved writing her thank yous.  Let’s hope that continues.

Pa, Hailey and Rich working on a Halloween Haunted House.

The finished house from the front…

…and the back.

Hailey went to a birthday party where she got to wear her Halloween costume- she dressed up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz this year.

Hailey at dance- we got to watch a Halloween dance the girls had been practicing.
