Party Invitations

These are the invitations for Hailey's Birthday party that Todd made. I was bad about mailing them out. I meant to send them to all the family, but most of you did not get one. Sorry about that:(. Todd sent a great deal of time getting them to look just like I envisioned them(thank you honey). Hailey loved them!

And the matching Thank you card. We thought is would be better for Hailey to have some involvement in saying Thank you instead of me writing them for her. So this is what we did and all she had to do was fill in the names and gifts. She had fun filling them in. I think that they were super cute.

Hailey's 6th Birthday Party

Hailey had a great Birthday party this year. Everything went great. She had lots of her family come to town to celebrate it with her, and many of her girl scout friends at her party. The party was a Pump It Up, so it was a pretty stress-free event. I usually like having their parties at home, however, we are still living in a small apartment. So Hailey decided on Pump It Up, which is really fun. Even Liz, Todd, and I enjoyed the inflatables, but I will not be post pictures of that. Hailey really eats up all of the special attention she receives on her Birthday. She has already started claiming the "Townsend Birthday Weekend." For the entire weekend she wants to pick where we eat, and have the restaurant staff sing Happy Birthday to her. She is a ham!! Here are some pictures from her party.

The Birthday Girl

Tyler loved the inflatables

All the girls received fairy tutus when they arrived. After they had practice flying, by jumping for 90 mintues, they earned their fairy wings and wand.

I loved the pink and yellow color scheme. I was so excited when the tutu and wings arrived. I could believe they were as cute as the pictures for such a great price. Anyone needing dress-up cloths for a girls party check out Halo Heaven. Just do a google search for it. And Todd made the invitations for me on photoshop. They were adorable and he was able to make them exactly like I asked him to. What a sweet and talented Dad Hailey has. He even made me cupcake toppers and fairy stickers to put on the lolly pops for the lolly pop tree. Hailey changed my plans for cupcakes, but some pink and yellow frosted cupcakes would have been perfect. I guess we had to give in the the birthday girls wishes. All in all it was a great party. Hailey told me the best one ever!!! My goal is that she tells me that every year. So far so good on that. Next to tackles is a super hero party for my little man.

Happy Birthday 6th Hailey!

Love that smile;-)

Well, I can't believe it but my baby girl is turning SIX YEARS old!!!!!! Hailey's had a big year. She has learned so much in the past year.

Hailey has almost completed her first year of school. She started Kindergarten at Sally K. Ride Elementary. Hailey has done well with her school work and has made lots of new friends. She has learned to add, subtract, spell and write her full name(and Townsend is a hard one), and READ. She is still in the beginning stages of reading but getting better everyday.

Look at my little cowgirl

Hailey has also learned to ride a bike without training wheels. She told us she wanted to learn so we took the training wheels off. 30 minutes later she was riding around on two wheels. I couldn't believe she learn so quickly. She was even able to tell her cousin Ryan what to do and he learned how to ride. She told him to "have faith, trust, and believe." Those words gave Ryan the confidence to try it out and then we had two bike riders.

Now that smile is toothless

My sweet little baby is growing up way to fast:(. Hailey has also lost TWO TEETH this year. When we went to her classroom for Kindergarten orientation they had a poster on the wall for the kids when they lose a tooth. When I saw it I thought, wow, Hailey might lose a tooth this year. I can't believe she has changed so much in one year. Happy Birthday my precious baby girl.

More Sock Hop Fun

Sock Hop

Hailey school is having a sock hop tonight for their spring fundraiser. I'm glad they picked this theme because it gives me an excuse to dress up my little doll in a poodle skirt. I think one of the funnest things about being a Mom is getting to dress up your little girls, and Hailey is usually equally as thrilled to be dressed up.

This is the cupcakes I made for the cake walk. They had turned out really good except the icing started melting because the kitchen in this apartment is so small and gets really hot. I think that some little girl who wins a cake will love to get these pink rock-n-roll sweets.

Pants On The Ground

I have been trying to do some fun activities with Tyler because I think he has been bored lately. So last week I took him to Chick-fil-a for lunch and to play for a while. He had a good time playing with another little boy that was there. I was watching him and enjoying my lunch when Tyler came and told me, "Mommy I have to go potty". I said "OK, go put your shoes on real quick and I will take you". Then I turned around to get my purse. When I turned back to look at Tyler he had PULLED HIS PANTS DOWN in the middle of the restaurant. I started trying to chase after him to pull them up, but he was in a hurry to get his shoes. Even walking with his pants around his ankles he moves fast. I finally caught up with him and pulled them up, but not before all the Moms in Chil-fil-a had a glimpse of Tyler's little basketball undies and a good laugh.


And yesterday he start in a My Gym class. There is not very many options for kids under four when it comes to activities. At my gym he get to run around, jump, and play with kids his own age.


He is the only boy in the class, but he didn't seem to mind. He did really well in his first class. Tyler was a little shy at the start of the class, however, it didn't take him long to feel right at home. He followed the instruction well and was good at all the exercises. Oh, my little man. You are so much fun!
