Grandparents Day

Since we live so far from our family Tyler and I went to have lunch with Hailey on Grandparents Day at school. I had almost forgotten about it, so Hailey didn't know that we were coming. She was so excited when she saw us. I didn't want her to be sad about not having someone there for her. I'm glad that she was happy with Tyler and I being team Hailey for the day. I think she knows that even though her grandparents could not be there that day, that they all love and support her.

She and Tyler are very excited to see them all next weekend for Tyler's Birthday Party. Tyler told me the other day, "Goo Goo leaves the light on for me when I sleep in her bed and that makes me love her.". It was so cute because his face was full of love as he said it. I could tell that he really feel strongly about what he was saying.
They talk about Papa and Nana the same way. Everytime Tyler sees a dodge truck he gets really excited and says "Hey, Papa has a truck like that". When Hailey is in trouble she tells Todd and I that she wants to go live with Nana or Goo Goo.

So Happy Grandparent Day to Papa and Nana, and Goo Goo and Papa Ranney in heaven! Hailey and Tyler are so very blessed to have you all to love them.

Hailey Can Read!!

We bought Hooked On Phonics for Hailey a little less then a week ago. She has loved doing it! She has asked to work on it everyday since we've had it. Hailey and Tyler have really enjoyed having Mommy and Daddy read to them lately so we thought it would be a good time to teach Hailey to read for herself. She has known her letter sounds for a long time now, but didn't seem to know how to turn the sounds into words and words into sentences. Well not anymore. She read her first book for us and has been sounding out all kinds of words. We are so proud of you Hailey!!! Here is a video of her reading her first book.

School Lunch

Hailey's school invited Grandparents to the school for lunch because today was Grandparents Day. Since I didn't know about the lunch invitation until this Monday and all of Hailey's Grandparents live out of town Tyler and I went and had lunch with her. She didn't know that we were going to be there so she was very excited to see us. I am so glad that Tyler and I were able to bring joy to her day. Tyler also really enjoyed eating at the school. He didn't want to leave after lunch. He wanted to go to the playground with Hailey.


Tyler didn't want to take a break from eating for a picture:-)-- Post From My iPhone

Hailey's First Day Of Kindergarten

This is Hailey the morning of her first day of Kindergarten;-). She picked out her outfit all by herself. She was so ready to go that she didin't even allow me to walk her in. She had a great first week of school. Hailey loves school but don't love to wake up for it every morning. She will get back into the swing of early morning soon, let's hope. I hope you have a great year in Kindergarten sweet girl:-).-- Post From My iPhone

Western Day

Hailey had Western Day at school today. We was really excited to dress up for it. You know she is a real Texas Cowgirl, Yee Haw! Or atleaat that is what she told everyone in California. She asked if she could wear my spurs on her boots. I reluctantly agreed. When we arrived at the school and the lady came to help Hailey out of the car the first thing Hailey told her was about the spurs. She said, "these were my Mommy's spurs when she was a little girl and now she let me wear them"! I just hope she doesn't use those spurs on any on the other kids.


Tyler had to get into the action also. I know, he needs some boots. I am going to try to get him some next week. He has to get ready for school everyday also. He packs a lunch like Hailey, but it rearly makes it past our driveway without being eatten by a hungry little boy. He is so funny!

Hailey's First Day Of School!

So Stephanie brought it to my attention that I never put a first day of school blog up. I only post pictures on facebook so here it is. Todd forgot to sign one of her forms so he had to go in with her while I waited in the car with Ty. ( I think it might have all been a plan on Todd's part.).


She has now been in school for a while and is doing well. She has really learned alot, especially how to follow directions! I really like her teacher and I think she is great for Hailey. She said that Hailey is very entertaining and social, and she is doing great:-). I am so thankful that Hailey's first teacher finds her entertaining! God Bless Mrs. Garcia!
