Cap Ferret

This is our old neighbor's daughter Hunter.  She is in the 7th grade and just such a sweet girl.  She loves Hayden and frequently comes over to be my mother's helper.....she is a huge help, and will be a great babysitter someday.  She has a ferret named Daisy.  Well as usual Hayden was obsessed.  This kid adores all animals, and this proves it.  She was very gentle, but loved chasing Daisy through the house. 

"Look mommy it's Daisy!!!

and let's carry Daisy through the house!!!

She was very intrigued by the fact that Daisy had a "house" 
So I finally convinced her that we should put Daisy away to rest. 

With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you...

Hayden, David and Opa(my dad)  They have 3 horses and Hayden loves to go see the horses when we visit. 

My dad had a heart transplant back in May and has had quite the road to recovery, but is feeling great now.  Doesn't he look awesome?(including the hat)LOL

David has been riding horses since he was about 5 and LOVES horses.  He of course appreciates so much that Hayden loves them too!!

Shhhhhh

Quietly minding her own business until she got up and another little girl came with her dad and took her spot....uh oh!!

David is laughing because after the little girl perched herself in what Hayden viewed as "her" spot the competition officially "was on"  Hayden kept watching the other little girl and then kept trying to make sure she was doing the puzzle faster. I think she really does have our family blood running through her veins.   
What was not funny was that Hayden then decided that she was not going to be friendly at all to the little girl.  She refused to say hello, and finally would not even sit at the table with her. 

Hayden found the Chicka Chicka boom boom dvd on her own.  Happens to be a best seller as far as she is concerned.

Had to move because Hayden was feeling a little too competitive with the 3 yr old at the table.

Hayden rearranging the furniture at the library. 

Going to the library is usually reserved for Hayden and her daddy.  But Daddy wanted me to see how enthusiastic Miss H is at the library, so I tagged along.  All I can say I can't believe they still allow them to enter the building.  Remember how I bragged about my wee one being so good at the movies and was soooo quiet and well behaved?  Yeah well let's just say at the library....not so much.  I think I will be taking over the library duties and teaching someone that you must be quiet in the library.  Enthusiastic was accurate, but he forgot to mention LOUD!!!  Thankfully it was a Friday night and was nearly empty.  She does seem to really enjoy going, so I think it will be a good, cheap form of entertainment during these dog days of summer. 

If your happy and you know it wear your shades

Have you ever met someone that you think....wow are they really that happy ALL the time??  Well I am mommy to THAT happy person.  I think it is just part of your DNA to have such a happy disposition, and certainly Miss H was blessed with that quality.  Now don't get me wrong, she has her moments, and sometimes even her days.  But for the most part this kid walks around singing, dancing, talking, and laughing her head off(she thinks she is REALLY funny)  I try and take note of that happy quality and make a real effort to mirror that same attitude.  Life really is much happier if you just slap a smile on and dance around a little.  This morning we were having our morning dance routine she said "mommy; get that body moving"  I have absolutely no idea where she heard that one.  Actually on second thought she is REALLY funny!!!

By the way she use to hate to wear sunglasses, hats or even the beloved bow.  Which fortunately she got over finally.  But now she will ask me for her shades.  These are from her Jackie O collection and has them in white and pink....she loves to say I need my "pink glasses today mommy"  I think the kid owns about 6 pairs(none of which I purchased for her) Go figure. 

First Movie....Cat's and Dog's

Cat's and Dog's revenge of Kitty Galore

We went to the movies yesterday with Hayden.  It was her first trip to the theatre.  I think she did GREAT!!!  We went to the 10:40 a.m. showing on Sunday hoping there would be almost no one there, and for the most part that was true.  We had about 15 people in our theatre.  Hayden had her booster chair, her sippy and a tub of popcorn that was almost as big as her.  By the way...she ate about half that tub of popcorn(not a cheap date)  It was cute and Hayden really liked that all the animals talked. 

Hayden and Daddy have our tickets and we are ready to go in to see our movie.
