Haylee-6 months

Today, was Haylee's 6 month well-check and I'm happy to report that she continues to be right on track! Hard to believe that half a year has passed since your birth! Mommy is enjoying each moment but also praying that these next six months creep by a little slower!

Brooklyn's Dance Show-Off

This week, we had a chance to join Brooklyn in the dance studio for an up-close look at all she's been learning. All the dancers had lots of eyes watching them and I was unsure of how Brooklyn would do. There was a moment, at the beginning, where she acted a little shy but I'm pleased to say that she quickly got over it! She joined right in and appeared to have a good time! I was so proud of her!

Shooting

My dad and brothers have tried to teach me how to shoot my whole life! I've attempted multiple times, but being right-handed) I could never close the necessary eye in order to look down the scope. Finally, my dad said to just try left-handed, close my right eye and look down the scope with my left eye......which appears to be dominant. Ha...who knew?! It actually worked! Even though, I'm still not left-handed, I now know that that's how I need to shoot! It was a fun learning experience!

Black Eye

This past week, I got a phone call from the school nurse. Maddie (my go-getter!) had an accident in PE while playing soccer. As a result, she now has a nice black eye! She's a tough girl though and didn't even cry!

Teeth

Lots of stuff has been going on in Maddie's mouth lately! She had a cleaning (where we discovered cavities....but I don't even want to talk about that!!!!) and then lost her second top tooth! She talks funny and looks adorable!

The Chimney Sweep and KETK News

When we called to set up an appointment to have our chimney cleaned, I never would have guessed that it would have been news worthy! But, last week, not only did The Chimney Sweep company show up at my front door; but so did Nikki Diaz from KETK news! A cold front had come through and she wanted to do an interview on the safety of having your fireplace and chimney checked. My fireplace was the lucky winner...haha! She was super nice, letting the kids help her video. Our beautiful fireplace even made the 5:00 news!

Splash Run 2014

Yesterday, we went to a 5k at Chapel Hill. Jaime organized a splash run (equivalent to a color run) as a fundraiser for his soccer team. I brought the kids. My mom, cousin and good friend joined us too! It was a fun morning supporting our favorite coach!

Phone Pictures

I need to clear out a few pictures on my phone, so here are some ones that I've taken over the past 2 weeks!
