Rainy Day Dress-Up Fun

We took advantage of the break in the 100 degree temperatures today to play outside! Hannah loves to dress up with princess dresses and other dress up clothes. This is her Halloween costume (that we just found on clearance at the Disney Store!). I tried it on her today to make sure it would fit for our upcoming Disney trip and she wouldn't let me take it off!

My new favorite picture!

Getting blown away!

Play-doh Creations

Things have been really quiet this summer! We have been able to stay home except for a few quick trips here and there. It will all start picking up again the first of September, so we are enjoying these last few weeks at home. We have also started potty training and have only had one accident so far today!

Since it has been so hot lately, we have had to creative and find some fun things to do inside. This week, we have been playing with Play-doh. Hannah loves it! She played for several hours this morning! We have also been enjoying Nana and Poppa's pool in the evenings when it starts to cool down some! Hannah loves splashing and swimming and is brave enough to jump off the side of the pool into my arms. Two weeks ago was the first time she had been in a big pool since she was an infant!

Here are just some pictures from playing this week. I love how her expression changes from picture to picture!

Future GleeK

This is really for the grandparents...

Hannah loves to sing and sings and dances all day long. She knows all of the songs (with most of the words) from Disney's The Princess and the Frog and The Music Man. We have the Glee soundtrack in our car and she has learned many of the songs including Jesse's Girl, Jump, Don't Stop Believin', Keep Holding On. She is already singing the "ba da's" and does a little vocal percussion just like Daddy does. We love hearing her sing and she cracks us up with some of her renditions (some even include choreography). Here she is singing the Glee version of Jump (She gets a little camera shy through part of it).

Recent Happenings

Not much has really been happening lately. We did just get back from Oklahoma City this morning. Chet's cousin asked him to officiate his wedding. The rain came and cooled down the air and then moved on so they could have their beautiful wedding outside. Chet did a beautiful job with the ceremony! We also took the opportunity to visit with my grandmother who gave us a bit of a scare on Wednesday, but she is doing great now!

Hannah loved the fact the Daddy was wearing a "Bow" and told him that all night. She learned by the end of the night, though, that boys wear "bow tights."

Our two year old still going strong at 10:00 PM!

Releasing her inner rock star! (from last weekend)

It's Summertime!

Wrapping up May

What a whirlwind of a spring it has been! We have been everywhere from Kansas to Hershey and Washington D.C. and then to Florida (and some places in between!). We just got home a few days ago for Orlando for the Heartbeat Conference where Chet was an exhibitor for his speaking ministry. The conference is for pro-life pregnancy centers across the country. The center directors bring various speakers in for their fundraising banquets. We loved getting to see friends from previous conferences and made several new contacts.

Now, did you really think that with the conference in Orlando that we weren't going to stop in Disney World? Of course not! We spent almost of all our spare time and even a few extra days there as the hotel for the conference was just five minutes from the parks.

We had a great time in Orlando. My brother was able to come down for a long weekend and spend a few days with us as well. Hannah loves having her Uncle Jonathan there with her and made sure that he saw everything. Here are a few highlights from our trip:

I love this picture because it shows her pure joy when riding "it's a small world."

Love that "tuto!"

Toy Story has become a favorite in our house, especially Jesse. Hannah was so excited to meet Jesse and Woody!

Our first experience with the princesses was the Princess Storybook Breakfast in Epcot. She loved it, even though she was too "star struck" to talk to any of them. Uncle Jonathan loved it because Princess Ariel thought he was a very handsome prince in need of a princess. :)

Hannah loves to bounce like Tigger! When we went to see him, she started bouncing. Tigger loved it and bounced right along with her!

New Toy Story 3 Character, Lotso

Such a ham!

She looks like such a big girl in this picture with her ponytail and playing her games on my phone!

It is hard to believe she was this size the first time we took her to Disney!

(Six Months Old)

School Program

Hannah had her last day of school and school program today. She did a great job singing and dancing through most of it until she realized, "Hey, there a lot of people watching me!"

We had the option of taking her with us or leaving her at school for the rest of the day after the program. We needed to leave her at school because of various appointments and thought we would have a problem doing so. When it was time for all of the parents to leave, the other kids in her class were crying. Not ours, she looked at us and said, "Bye, see you later!" We have been blessed with such an easy kid!
