Easter 2010

Easter this year was so fun! The kids are at such a great age for holidays like this. Hailey kept asking me for details about the Easter Bunny like where he lives and what he eats. Tate was great to nicely remind her that Easter isn't really about the bunny and all the candy. I'm so glad I get to enjoy these fun years with the best kids!

Hailey dressed as a bunny at preschool, too cute!

Tate and Hailey did a wonderful job coloring their Easter Eggs.

These two are too cute for words together, I hope they are always the best of brothers.

Easter Egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Pantuso's , I hope they know how lucky they are.

Visiting Grandpa & Grandma DeDora

Easter morning! Tate so excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought.

Hailey got her very own gardening gloves to help me plant flowers.

Hailey's Birthday

Hailey's fourth birthday was a day full of fun!

Here she is with her presents first thing in the morning.

A few days before her birthday she told me she wanted a rolling pin of her own so she could help me make cookies. She was very specific that the rolling pin had to be from Chad. She was so excited to have one of her very own.

What girl doesn't love lip gloss!

A few minutes later this is where I found her. She had to try out her new lip gloss. Poor Carson.

Later that day we took her to Kangaroo Zoo for some bouncing fun.She had a ball with Tate and her cousin.

She even got to celebrate her special day at preschool.

Here she is with her teacher after the class sang Happy Birthday to her.

She got a cute pink purse from Grandma and Grandpa Rawlings. She loves putting her special things in it.

Hailey loves doughnuts so we put some into the shape of a four. She was thrilled! Happy Birthday!!!

Hailey is 4 !

I can't believe my little Hailey is four ! She has always been such a sweet little girl. From the moment she was born I knew she would have a special place in my heart. I think mothers and daughters have a special connection.As a baby she was meek and mild. So content to sit there and quietly play. Now she is four and has developed such spunk and determination. She knows how to stand up for herself .That will come in handy being in the middle of two brothers. Chad and I love her so much and couldn't imagine our lives without her. 

I love my daddy!

Lately Hailey keeps asking if she can wear one of Chad's tee-shirts to sleep in. Of course they are huge on her and fit more like a night gown , but we think it's cute. (I remember wearing my dad's tee-shirts as a child.)  In this picture you can see she refused to take off her socks as well. She said "Mom, I am not taking off my socks! They are pink and purple and those are my favorite colors." Look at her face , I don't think she could be any happier!
