Only Child

BellBell took Hadley back to Alabama, so this meant that we got to spend some one on one time with the Red Head.  She doesn't get many opportunities to be the only child.  We took her swimming one day.  She isn't crazy about the water, so it was a chance for Wayne and I to double team her.  I think she kind of ate it up.  I expected her to ask constantly where Hadley was for two reasons.  One because she was with my Mom and she wanted to go with her and two because she is all about everything Hadley is doing.  Alas, that was not the case.  She asked one time all week where she was at and was completely satisfied with the answer.

Taking to the Stage

So the week that BellBell and MoMo came up to keep Hadley was also VBS.  This wasn't just any VBS, this was Hadley's stage debut.  The final night of VBS, there was a VBS play which wrapped up the whole week.  Hadley had one of the main speaking parts in the play.  She worked with the other actors for several months leading up to VBS and she totally rocked out!!!  When I asked her what she thought, all she could say is how much fun she had.  She absolutely loved it. 

This little lady, loved the stage too.  Except she loved expressing herself through dance.  She really got down!

Spoiled Rotten

My Mom and my Aunt came up the third week of June to keep Hadley.  Wayne had classes in June and they came up to help us one week and then my Mom took her back to Alabama the 4th week of June.  The last day they were here with us, I told them they had to keep the Red Head.  You see each day, I took her to school and she knew her people were at Home.  You could tell it really bothered her and she knew she was missing out.  I think she had a blast, I think BellBell and MoMo were exhausted.  MoMo found a blueberry muffin recipe she wanted to try with the girls, from the pictures, I'm not sure if Hadley is going to be a cook or a baker, she doesn't look very enthusiastic.

An ambush in the Rainforest

My friend Stacia recently moved back closer to home.  By closer I mean 2 and a half hours, how close it that.  I like to be sneaky and I like to put together surprises!!!  I hatched a plan with her husband Scott for Hadley and I to drive up and surprise her.  Ultimately we ended up surprising him too, he got mixed up on the date, it really makes for a better story that way!!!!  We ended up ambushing her at the Rainforest Cafe, leaving her speechless.  We spent three days with her and the girls.  It was great just catching up, watching the girls play like it was something they did every weekend.  She showed Hadley how to catch lightning bugs, which was hilarious, because Hadley doesn't like bugs.  The girls got to go to a pizza place, where they got to make their own pizzas, which they declared the best they have ever had.  We got a treat of Gigi's cupcakes, oh my heavens, DIVINE!!!!!  We tied it all up with a trip to the playground, where the girls got to play and Stacia and I got to people watch and boy did we ever get an eye full!!

Looking forward to so many more visits!

Seeing Double

Wayne's Mom was cleaning out some stuff and found these.  Ummm yeah, Hadley looks like her Daddy.  Outside of the eyecolor and curly hair, pretty sure they are mirror images of each other.
