Oh yay!!I found the slideshow I made of our vacation to Disney World in 2007!! If you want to watch it, turn on your speakers :)

Square Dance!!

Hailey's class has been practicing for their annual (this is it's 19th year!) Square Dance. Last Friday was the big day, and let me tell you...these kids are GOOD!! It's amazing how all these kids, which is the whole second and third grade class, followed directions so well all at the same time! My next door neighbor picked Hailey up a really cute costume at a thrift store for us too!

They're back!

Oh boy! Guess we'll never see Hailey again, lol. We have a neighbor who has horses, kindof. They have an amazing field right next to us, literally 20 feet from our front door, and they have two horses for part of the year. Until now, we didn't realize why they were only there sometimes. We have found out that he moves them to a huge pasture in Vermont during the summer so they can graze and live off of grass. They don't ride them, so there is no need to give them any grain/oats. So, they are usually here for the winter and part of the spring but this year they weren't here all spring/summer until the other day!! We woke up one morning (early) and saw them out there. Hailey, still in her PJs, ran right out to greet them :)

They have been here for a few days now and Hailey is ALWAYS out there. The horses like to hang out right next to the fence near our house. Their owners house is quite far away, as you can see in the pictures. The horses are already getting attached to Hailey. Whenever she comes home, she goes right to see them and whenever she leaves the house she goes over to say goodbye to them. Sometimes, they are in the middle of the field and will come running over to her at the fence to say "hi". It's one of the cutest things I've ever seen!

I'm so happy that these horses are here. Recently her best friend got a horse for her birthday. We were there for the event and Hailey wanted to be a part of it. It was great, and Hailey was such a good friend in keeping the secret, but I know deep down that she wishes she had a horse. It's sad for me, a horse lover myself, to not be able to buy her a horse. I cannot wait for the day that we, too, can surprise Hailey with a horse of her own. She would be an amazing horse owner! She already treats these horses next door as her own, it's really great...but a little sad. This is the closest she will get to owning a horse for a long time. It's going to be a sad day when they leave again next spring :(

This is Skye. The friendlier of the two.

They like to hang out right here next to the fence. I think because our house has so much action and people always going in and out.

They are SUPER friendly!!

KISSES!!!!!

This is Abbey. She's not as quick to come greet Hailey, but still very friendly.




This picture was taken from our front porch. The horses are literally 20 feet from our door!!

No house phone :(

I don't know how I feel about it. I just disconnected my house phone this morning. I don't have a job right now (other than waitressing a couple nights a week) so things are tight and I felt that the phone was going to be the first thing to go. We have a cell phone plan that we only use under 200 minutes of the allowed 700 minutes on so we might be okay. It's just going to be a hard thing to get used to.

So, for all you friends and family that read my blog, the ONLY number you can reach me at now is 707-7993.
