"because your mommy needs a break from KIDS!!!"

hi fans.  I mean friends.  I mean fans.  .... ok BOTH -- right???

this blog has been neglected -- wouldn't you say?  yes I would say too.

I have lots of cute pictures to put on here.  but they are still living happily in my camera.  and will stay that way for sometime.

so instead I offer you a much-needed Haileyism.

yesterday we were watching our friends little girl while they were at the doctor.  Alexis asked Hailey and I why she was staying with us and Hailey looks at her so matter-of-factly and says 

"because your mommy needs a break from KIDS!"

amen to that sister.

show me a true-blooded aggie!

Tyler's account of his experience at the WAC tournament...

"I went to Reno, Nevada for the WAC tournament to cheer on the Aggies!  On the first game against Fresno State we won the game.  On the second game against New Mexico State we won by 1 POINT!  On the last game against Nevada, when the clock was on 24 seconds everybody started moving down so that they could run down on the court when the buzzer went off and then on the buzzer everybody WENT WILD!!!  SO DID I!!!  And I got to give Brady Jardine a high-five and then a picture with Matt Formisano and the WAC trophy.  After the Nevada game, I talked with Gary Wilkinson.  I said "NICE JOB!!!"  At every game, Uncle Rico and I went to give the Aggies high-five when they were running in and out of the tunnel.  I got to give Stew a high-five!  When they were running out at the first half of the Nevada game, Pooh Williams gave me a HUGE smile!!!

We also went to Circus-Circus to play and win prizes!  (like at Chuck-E-Cheese's)  The hotel I stayed at was called "The Nugget" ... so me and Rico shared a room together.  And Grandma and Grandpa Scott shared a room.  Kenny was there who stayed at Circus-Circus.  I had a FUN TIME!!!  And that's all!" 

me and Rico and the hoop without the net.

"I love you right up to the moon...

thanks hilary (who is private so I didn't link her! but let's be honest: I really don't know how to do all that linking business anyway!!!) for teaching me -- and now YOU -- how to be famous. and thanks to those who thought it was real. really, I am flattered. really.

next:
MAKE IT BIGGER -- and read her "award!" YES!!!!!

so in celebration -- a cute haircut (thanks Nicole!) and a shopping/dinner date with mommy....

which included EAR PIERCING!

isn't Paige looking grown-up? I think so. kinda makes me :(

and her newest trick: falling asleep sitting up!

sometimes it's fun to be famous!

classic Hailey Joey.

we have been working SO HARD on letters/sounds (YES I know she SHOULD know them by now.... but to be honest: she is more into the social scene than the learning scene. she could tell you the life history of each of her classmates. and their parents/siblings names. and what each of them ate for breakfast. you get the point.)

so anyway ... this is what she told me this morning when she was having a hard time remembering "E/e"...

"MY BRAIN IS TAKING A HOT TUB."
