The Power of Prayer…

I believe more and more that life’s greatest lessons are going to be taught to me by my daughter. Haley discovered the joy of “toadstools” and decided that they were worthy of asking God for them so that she could stomp on them. 🙂 So, she’s been praying for toadstools and that’s it. Just the ...

Celebrating our Freedom….

We had a really busy, great 4th of July weekend… one of the best we’ve had in quite some time. We had a cookout at Mark’s brother Mike’s where Haley got to play in the pool and play with her cousin Joshua who’s 5 months older than her. It was a great time as you’ll ...

Harley Boots…

Mark has some big Harley boots that he wears to all of the conventions with his “Blood Rider” attire, here’s Haley in his boots (she had the hat on too but I missed that!)

We went to the Longhorn for Father’s day and recalled that we had gone there last year for Father’s day as well… Here’s a picture of Haley, Mark and Jim in 2008: And, wow, what a difference a year makes…

“She just has a man…”

I was picking up a sick computer from a friend of mine and took Haley with me since I knew I wouldn’t be long. The whole way there, Haley kept asking questions about Miss Terry and did she have a dog, did she have toys, etc. Now, I’ve known Terry since I first moved to ...

Haley’s First Wedding

One of Mark’s best friends, Rob, got married on Sunday and asked us to bring Haley. Now, keep in mind that, to date, her only experience with weddings have been animated through Disney. Added to that was the ceremony was actually taking place during her normal nap time, so I was a little nervous. It ...

Sharing…

03. May 2009 She said what? 0
We’ve been working on teaching Haley about sharing for awhile. Sometimes it seems like she’s gotten it and then other times, she’s quite protective of the object to be shared. Last week we were walking around the mall and got an ice cream cone from Dairy Queen. This child LOVES ice cream. She and I ...

The Purpose of a VCR…

27. April 2009 Oh no she didn't! 0
Haley got her first VHS tapes this weekend at a flea market. She was quite proud and excited and couldn’t wait to come home and watch them. Now, we haven’t owned a VHS tape in YEARS, but we do have a DVD/VCR combo so thought it would be no big deal, we’ve just never used ...
