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.

Tyler's Ambulance Ride

Well, here we are in the E.R. with Tyler for the first time. He was playing in my bedroom and I called for him to come clean up some toys he left on the floor in the living-room. He didn't come to me so I went to look for him. He came out of the bathroom crying. He had washed his hands so I didn't see any blood but he asked for a band-aid. I asked Tyler where he was hurt and he showed me his thumb. I asked him how he did that and he show me blood all over the floor. Then I looked closer and saw Todd EpiPen under the bed. Tyler had shot it into his thumb nail and it went all the way through his finger!! I freaked out because I didn't know what that medicine would do to a little boy. I called 911 because I would have taken to long to hear back from his doctor. I told them what had happen and they say they were sending an ambulance right away. The paramedics arrived in about two minute. They asked me to bring him down to the ambulance so I did. They started monitoring him right away. They told me he need to go to the ER because it could restrict the blood vassals in his finger he could lose his thumb if it wasn't treated quickly. Well, from the lack of any abnormal vital the doctor and nurses think that Tyler didn't get much of the medicine in his finger. They think it sprayed out once it had passed through his finger. They had an x-ray done just to make sure the needle didn't break off, or that he didn't break any bone. That EpiPen is huge and the needle is spring load because it is made to be able to go through clothing! Tyler is doing great now, but it was a little scary when it happened. God was looking out for our little guy today and even got him a ride in an ambulance:-). Tyler alway points them out to me when we are driving and has a toy one that he LOVES.


This is a picture of him in the ER with all of the toys they brought him to play with and watching the little TV. It is on an arm and he could move it where ever he wanted it. At lease we were already close to our deductible from Hailey's ER trip earlier this year. Way to be on the same page kids:-).

Fast shoes!!

Tyler just got a new pair of shoes and boy do they make him run fast and jump high!! I love it when kids get new shoes and they think the shoe make them run faster:-). That was the first thing Tyler told me when he slipped on his new "running shoes."


Don't you just love those spiderman socks. Hailey has been at My Mom's house this week so I have had so good quality time with my little man. He has been a delight:-). Todd and I have taken him to Chuck E. Cheese, to ride his bike in the park, to his "little girlfriends" birthday party, and out to eat a couple of times.


It has been a fun week, however, I am ready to see Hailey tomorrow. <3 I've had a great time with you my sweet Tyler <3 - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

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.

This is Hailey, Morgan, Audrey, & Hannah

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.
