Hayley's stage debut

9th birthday party

For Sydney's birthday party this year we did a scavenger hunt at the mall. The girls had clues that took them to a few stores to buy a small item and some places to have their pictures taken. 

Bubble gum, bubble gum, not in a dish. Blow a bubble and make a wish.

Round and round you go. Where the picture snaps nobody knows.
Trying things on can be lots of fun. Snap a picture and now we're done.

Bard of Ballyfiddle

Hayley was in a children's theater production called The Bard of BallyFiddle. She was in the keyboard section and did a great job!

Birthday Girl

It's hard to believe that our Sydney is NINE years old! Time goes so quickly. She is LOVING 3rd grade and learning cursive. 

Playhouse

Jeremy's parents surprised the girls Labor Day weekend  with a playhouse. They LOVE it!

Here are a few pictures...

Sorry

I've been so preoccupied this summer with so many things and uploading most of our pictures to facebook, I promise to bring them over here soon though!

Hayley's Horsey Hoedown

We had Hayley's birthday party this weekend. She BEGGED for a "Horsey" party. We're not sure where the sudden obsession with horses came from, but it was a fun party!

The girls had a great time! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!

We were able to surprise the girls with a visit from a REAL horse! All of the girls got a ride around the yard which was really fun for all of them. I don't think I've ever seen Hayley smile so big!
Jeremy gave the girls a hayrack ride through the yard too.
Addy even loved the horse, until he got too close.
Here are all of the girls near Jet the horse.
This is Hayley's cake. I'm not quite ready to hire out my cake decorating services yet. ;)
Everyone enjoyed the cake!
And the star of the show... 

Yee Haw!
