Haiden's First Day of School

Haiden's First Day of School was today. He started preschool in August, but that was just summer school. Today was actual school.

He was all decked out with his Buzz Lightyear backpack and lunchbox.

Haiden found his cubby when we got into his new classroom. He loves his teachers Miss Lee & Miss Pam. I am excited because he came home today knowing how to spell RED. He sang a little song about it, and then told me that red is spelled R-E-D. :)

The Bridge From Daisy To Brownie

Hailey bridged from Daisy to Brownie Girl Scout on Friday.


This finished her second year as a Daisy Girl Scout.

Hailey had a lot of fun and earned many patches.

It feels good to know that Hailey has a close group of friends she can share these experiences with. All of the girls in the troop come from great families. I look forward to them continuing together and creating even more memories.

GOLD!

My dad found gold in the creek behind the cabin. We brought the kids up a few weeks ago so they could go panning with Grandpa.
Haiden looks very interested and amazed by what Grandpa is talking about. GOOD BOY!

Leave it to Grandma and Hailey to quickly get bored and wander off.







I think Sean was looking for a piece big enough to sell...no luck!

Such a cute little butt crack! Don't worry, it is Haiden.

Haiden's socks and pants got wet so he had to use snow pants and gloves. Good thing Grandma has a washer and dryer at the cabin.

Bike Ride at the Park

We went to the park last night for a little bike ride.

Hailey got a nosebleed as we were leaving so she insisted on leaving the tissue in her nose at the park.

Haiden's legs are still a little too short for his big wheel, so he found other things to entertain himself. He chased his sister, pushed his big wheel in a circle, and (above) acted like a chicken.

There are light poles and benches lining the curved path at our park. Hailey always gets VERY close to both of them while she is riding. Today she seemed really comfortable on her bike. She was going extremely fast and was staying on the grass. That all changed when she rode directly into the pole. The picture above shows the damage to the pole. Hailey will probably have a bruise from the handlebars, but at least she did get back on and ride a few more times.

LA Zoo

Hailey's Girl Scout troop went to the LA Zoo to complete the patch program today. The tour was "for girl's only" so Kristi and I took the boys on their own tour.

Haiden loved looking at all he animals.


I found Hailey's "Zoo Haiku" along with a ladybug drawing in her backpack. This must have been one of their activities from today. It is very cute.
I like Laedeybugs. (5 syllables)

Girl Scout P.J. Party

Hailey and I had a wonderful time at her Girl Scout P.J. Party on Friday.

We started at the nail station.



Then we went to hair and face painting.

After learning a dance, Hailey made a cute little pillow.



Just before the fashion show we had adorable (and yummy) cupcakes.

Hailey fell asleep on the way home from the party. She was exhausted after all that excitement!
