Hayden's 1st Birthday

Hayden had a mini party in her daycare class on Thursday.  It was too darn cute!  We put hats on the babies and sang happy birthday.  BUT...only Hayden got a cupcake...her first take of cupcake and she L-O-V-E-D It.  :o)

For her party at home we had a lot of family and friends over for a pools party and it was a great party.  A little warm out but this is June in Texas, so we fully expected that.  :o)  She had her punk princess themed party and we all loved the cake.  It was so pretty and YUMMY!

Hayden's turning ONE!

My baby girl will be one in two days and I will be throwing my last First Birthday Party this weekend.  I can't believe it...I just can't.  Looking back...I can remember the shock of finding out that we were pregnant with her, then before having her wondering how our life would be after we have her, and now....a year later.....I can't imagine life without her.  I seriously can't.  I don't even remember what life was like before her.  She has been such a wonderful blessing to this family.  We all adore and love Miss Hayden. 

Here are a few photos that I got of her for her 1st birthday.  Since we have done so many cutesy parties....we have decided to make this one a bit different.  She will be having a punk princes 1st birthday party...girly skull and cross bones and hot pink and black.

Sole Impact 2011

For the past few weeks, Skyler (along with her BFF Hannah) has been part of a great organization for girls 6-15yrs old, called "Sole Impact". She attends two meetings a week where they cover eating healthy, living healthy, the importance of exercise, maintaining a healthy, smoke and drug free life style, self confidence, self esteem building, empower girls to be leaders in our community, raising money for cancer research, all of that on top of various exercises and running 1-2 miles each meeting.

Their slogan "I am one young voice, but I can change the world" is an important message that she is learning. She finished this season with a 2 mile "Tulip Trot" at Market Street in The Woodlands.  She did an amazing job running almost the entire thing.  We held signs and cheered her on as she passed us about 5 times along the way.  We could not be more proud of her for being part of this wonderful organization and completing the race.
