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.

Yummy

One of our favorite things to do since we have moved here is to get frozen yogurt ! There is a really fun frozen yogurt shop that we found named Orang leaf. They have about 14 flavors at a time. My absolute favorite is the coconut. They also have about 40 different topping. From nuts and fruit to candy and cereal they have it all. The kids love that it is self-serve.


Hailey has one of her favorite topping in her mouth in this pic, a gummy worm.


Tyler usually chooses the most colorful yogurt, such as raspberry and lemon.

Thank you Orange leaf for being such a fun place to go and get a tasty treat. I can't wait to take some of my nieces and nephews to try it out.

Trick or Treat 2010

We had a busy Halloween this year! Hailey really wanted to attend Hannah and Morgan's girl scout party so we did. The party was a big hit with the girls, however, not the boys. It was crowded and both Sam and Tyler were in need of a nap so Todd and I left early to take them home. Hannah and Morgan got to dance and spend time with their friends and Hailey won a door prize. This is some pictures of the kids dress up for the party. They did not want to pose for a picture so this is the best we could get.

We came back to Houston early on Sunday so we could trick or treat here since it was a school night. The Zamora's invited us to come over for dinner and trick or treating. Hailey and Tyler were really excited because they think Zara and Violet are lots of fun. We all had a good time and I think we will have enough candy to last us a year. Tyler is very happy about that. I have not been very good about taking pictures but here are a few.

This is Hailey, Tyler and I outside our apartment.

The kids walking up to a door. I'm not sure if you will be able to see anything or if it is too dark.

Some pictures from trick or treating! Sorry they are not the best pictures:(
