Let It Go

This kid is ALL ABOUT FROZEN.  She has watched it in the past, but she literally wants to watch the movie all day, every day.  She also watches anything related to Frozen on her tablet as well.  The child will sing all of the songs VERY loudly all day.  When she is watching the movie about a minute before each song comes up she goes "mommy my favorite song is about to come on".  Today at the grocery store she was singing "Let it Go" as loud as she could.   
 
 


 

I love this pic as it shows off her pretty blue eyes.  My phone camera is not that great, and never shows just how pretty they are!
 



Pic of Hallie and Ms. Taylor.  We need to get one with Ms. Chessa.  (Small world...Ms. Chessa is the niece of the golf coach from Mansfield when I was in High School)  They are both wonderful as Hallie nothing less than a handful EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.  Also, Ms. Taylor's daughter is in Pierson's class. 


Hallie informed her teachers that she had a baby in her belly!  I suppose she came up with this because our neighbor (and even better friend) just had a baby!


The below two pics are from the fall.  I just love them, and forgot to post them on the blog!  Hallie absolutely LOVES Big Dave and she really does enjoy going to Lowes with him. 






We have had a few challenges with this hard headed kid lately.  She has gotten into trouble at school and they may have even called me to come pick her up one day.  Needless to say I was so upset about it, and she knew the minute I walked in the door that she was in BIG trouble. 

The other day her teacher told her "I am going to call your mommy and tell her"....Hallie could have cared less and responded with "no Ms. Chessa, I am going to call YOUR mommy". 

One day at school, she was supposed to be sleeping, but instead she was chatting away.  She told her teachers the following:  "boys have a penis and girls have a gagina, and my mommy and you have big gaginas".  OMG.  Her teachers died laughing.  She learned the difference because...well she has an older brother who is proud of his "business", and proudly dances around before getting dressed sometimes.  She wanted to know why she didn't have one....and the rest is history. 

Some of her favorites right now are "you have to be kidding me", and "mommy are there any clowns at the house?" (She is TERRIFIED of clowns). 

She will ride her bike and purposely fall off of it and then look at us and say "its ok its ok...I am ok".

After prayers each night, when we ask her what she is thankful for her response is always the same "I am thankful for everything in the whole wide world, Jesus and my family, and my cousins". 

 
 
We have no shame in using the restroom in various locations.  When you gotta go, you gotta go.  Jeremy and I have one of these in each of our cars for emergencies. 

This pictures is comical because I was driving back from my parents house one morning with both kids and it was raining so hard I could barely see.  Of course, Hallie had to go pee, and my only option was to pull over in a parking lot and let her go.  Classy I tell ya....



Hallie literally has bruises all down her legs.  She runs into things, falls off of things, jumps off the couch, falls while running....the list goes on.  Good or bad...she has absolutely no FEAR and will try anything.  She sure is a rotten little thing, but can be soooo sweet sometimes.  When I found out I was pregnant with a girl, I was in complete shock.  Now, I couldn't imagine life without this little spunky ball of energy and thank God daily for her.

Kindergarten Roundup

Kindergarten Roundup was in April.  I ended up just taking the day off and spending the day with my big boy. 

It is so hard to believe he is going to Kinder.  I know he is ready, but admittedly I am a tad bit nervous for him.  There are a handful of kiddos on our street that will be going to school together which should make it a little bit easier. 

 


 
 I may have taken him to get a new Lego set just because....


I told him he could pick where we eat, and of course he chose Hula Hut.  They are based out of Austin, but there is one right on the lake near our house.  He LOVES going there.  When we were sitting at the table, he wanted to know if he could come along with me and Hallie whenever we have a day.  He also said that we shouldn't tell Hallie that he got a new toy because she would not be happy about it. 



Goodness, I sure do love this kiddo.  Still remember the day I brought him home from the hospital....time goes so fast!!
