Divergent

July 16, 2014Books(0)
I finished Divergent a couple weeks ago. I was really excited for it because I liked some of the other young adult trilogies in the same genre (The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner) but for some reason I was having a terrible time getting through this one. It could have been because I had...

It’s a…….

July 11, 2014Alex(0)
BOY!!! I am still in shock. Last night we found out that baby #3 is a boy. I was sure we were going to have another girl. On Wednesday morning we had my 20 week ultrasound. The baby was healthy and everything looked great. We had the ultrasound person put the gender in an envelope...

Dancing Queen

July 3, 2014Maddie(0)
For the last couple months or so, Maddie has been asking (and asking and asking) if she can take a “bannerina” (ballerina) class. So I found a local place that had some summer sessions and signed her up. To say she was excited would be an understatement.  Here are a few pictures. The parents can...

More Twitter

June 11, 2014Randomness(0)
First, I will start by saying that I’m a bit of a freak. I knew that one day I would want at least three kids. So when I made a Twitter account for Maddie (@microhays) I knew that I should make one for possible subsequent children. Not knowing what the future would hold, I created...

Covet

June 10, 2014Books(0)
For June, my book club did a “choose your own book”. Covet was my pick. This book is by Tracey Garvis Graves. She wrote On The Island and I really liked that book, so I had a feeling I would like this one as well. Here’s a little about the book: What if the life...

Yep! This is happening at our house! We are really excited! And note that I cannot take any credit for the above photo. I slept on the couch while Chuck made this beauty! I went to my doctor appointment yesterday. We had an ultrasound and confirmed that yes indeed, there is a baby in there...

18 Months

May 13, 2014Dannie(0)
I can’t believe how fast Dannie has been growing up. I feel like I blinked and BAMshe’s 18 months old. Wow. D has been trying to talk a lot more. She has a bunch of words and signs now and seems to be very happy that she can communicate with us better. She dotes on...

Knot Genie

May 12, 2014Maddie,Products & Places(0)
Maddie has really long hair. And I haven’t had the heart to cut it yet, so she still has some baby curls. This long hair can get quite tangled and she is very sensitive when I am trying to brush her hair. So I found a deal on a Knot Genie hairbrush. When I first...

Kid Toilet Seat

May 8, 2014Maddie,Products & Places(0)
Back when we decided to seriously start potty training Maddie, we decided to get this toilet seat for our bathroom on the main floor. I loved that I didn’t have an extra seat to put on the toilet, take off and clean and I never cared much for the potty seats where I had to...

The Storyteller

May 6, 2014Books(0)
A couple months ago, my book club picked The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. If you have ever read a book of hers, you will understand how powerful they can be. If you haven’t read one of her books, you definitely should. First, here’s what the book is about. Some stories live forever . . ....

Sharp Objects

Sharp Objects is my Book Club’s pick for May, but I had already started it when we picked it. I just finished it last night and really loved it. Here’s a little run-down. WICKED above her hipbone, GIRL across her heart Words are like a road map to reporter Camille Preaker’s troubled past. Fresh from...

The Basement

April 29, 2014Glendalough(4)
This past winter, Chuck started the project of finishing our basement. He loves having a project and this was the next big one on our wish list of To-Dos. I can’t believe I haven’t done a post about the basement yet. I have tossed in a couple pictures here and there, but I am long...

There’s a new link to the right —>. It’s a link to my YouTube page where I upload all the videos of the girls. I can’t believe I didn’t already have a link there. Someone was asking me recently where they could find all my videos, so this reminded me to add it here. Happy...

The Happiness Project

April 14, 2014Books(0)
For April, my book club decided to The Happiness Project. I had heard a lot of really great things about it, so I was really excited to read this book. Here’s a little about it: One rainy afternoon, while riding a city bus, Gretchen Rubin asked herself, “What do I want from life, anyway?” She...

#100HappyDays

April 12, 2014Randomness(0)
A number of friends started doing the 100 Happy Days Challenge. I thought this was such a fun idea and fitting to some of the changes I have already been making in my life this year. I saw it earlier in the year, but like most trends, I am a little slow on the uptake....

Carry On, Warrior

April 11, 2014Books(0)
A few of my friends absolutely love Glennon. I read her blog, but not religiously. She is so raw and true and very refreshing to read. She’s not afraid to show her murky past and is a truly beautiful soul. Here’s a little about her book: For years Glennon Doyle Melton built a wall between...

Maximum Insecurity

April 3, 2014Books(0)
For March, my book club read Maximum Insecurity. Here’s a little description: After three decades as a successful ear surgeon, William Wright, MD is bored beyond belief. He dabbles with retirement, but finds idleness infuriating. He has to do something. Then he sees an ad for a doctor’s position from the Colorado Department of Corrections...

March 27, 2014Dannie,Maddie(0)
We went the the Children’s Museum back in February with a friend. She was a month away from having her second, so she was happy to let her daughter run off some energy! While we were waiting for them to get there, the girls played in the lobby. I got this cute video of Maddie...

Videos!

March 25, 2014Dannie,Maddie(0)
I have been taking a bunch of videos with my phone lately. So instead of a photo dump, we have a video dump! One warm day recently, I took the girls outside to play in the snow. Maddie was having fun shoveling the snow and Dannie was freaking out every time she walked near it!...
