February and celebrating Valentine's Day

We were all VERY excited for February! We would be heading back to Disneyland and we couldn't be more excited. 

 Hailey was excited to attend her first Daddy Daughter dance and she wanted a cute new hairdo and we came across this heart braid that was such a hit! 

What was exciting about this trip to Disneyland was that Hailey would be able to go with ALL her cousins which she has never done before! 


Hailey was so glad to be able to go on her favorite rides with her cousins. It was really cute to see. I hope we can do this again in the future! 

Our new obsession was enjoying a delicious Tigger Tail Treat! So yum! 

We even arrived in the nic of time to meet Moana before she left on another adventure! It was amazing! 


We really indulged on treats this trip. Don't judge us. LOL!

Can you find Hailey in the midst of all the blue fur? She's in there somewhere, I promise! This was the first time meeting Sulley!
 We love this pup! 
 Our friend Judy Hopps had told me that I had to bring Hailey over to get a hug. I had to listen, she's an officer! 
 February was also Annual Passholder Month and we got to meet the Sherrif of Knottingham and Prince John from Robin Hood. AP days was a complete mess and very unorganized and if Disneyland would like a few pointers on how it could run smoother I hope they ask me. I have a list of improvements for them!

So many cast members make our trips so great that we had made and brought more thank you gifs to pass out! 


Hailey received a gift card to go to Goofy's kitchen for Valentine's Day and it was such a blast! 

The food sure was Goofy though, dessert for breakfast? Why not? 

They even heard that Hailey's Pacemaker had a birthday so she got an extra cupcake!

On Valentine's Day at Disneyland you get to see princesses with their prince and that was so awesome! 

Sleeping Beauty brought Prince Phillip with her! 

We saw our friend Princess Elena again and it was Magical! 

Hailey's pin trading game is on point thanks to her friends Max and Lexi for hooking her up! 

We also passed out some tissue holders that we made and we put the left overs in our Etsy shop if you'd like one! 



After our trip we did end up at the Hospital with Hailey due to some acid reflux. She ended up having to get a barium x-ray done and is now on medication.

February is Rare Disease Awareness month. We joined the Little Miss Hannah Foundation at their 5K and it was really a ton of fun! 







 We were also invited by Make a Wish to accept a check from Bank of Nevada and their Swish for a Wish campaign. The Wish kid that was supposed to go ended up not feeling well so Hailey filled in for them. We try to help whenever we can! 

February was also Hailey's cousins birthday so we headed over to Dave and Buster's after Horse Therapy one weekend and let the girls have some fun. Hailey loves this place and since they support Make a Wish we support them! 

Finally the last of the new items for our Etsy shop were posted and we are ready to ship them out to new homes! 




March is nearly over but I think we have a few more things scheduled before I write about it. Stay turned for our next blog post!

Easter 2015


Hailey was on Spring Break last week and since we can't go far because of Therapy 3x's a week and a Doctors appointment we had a stay-cation at home just me and her. 
I had a few hands on activities planned, but secretly I hoped we could just sleep in late just 1 time...

Hailey loves to be a chef and this week we did lots of baking! Hailey thought that these cookies with a bunny in the middle were really neat and she could do it all on her own! 


We also planned to have Hailey's cousin over to dye some Easter eggs! 


I discovered that I have never personally hard boiled eggs before...? Every year I say I need to and Josh just did it. This year was my year! 

Dying eggs has always been a very fun activity for the girls. 



We also baked and decorated cupcakes. Hailey does NOT eat cupcakes but I always try to include her and treat her as a normal child. She had a lot of fun decorating but did not like the frosting getting on her fingers and had me promptly wipe it off. 



I also saw an idea on Pinterest where you take pretzels and candy melts along with M&M's and make flowers. I really thought it would have turned out like the photo I had seen. The person who originally posted the activity was not a 6 or 8 year old...what is it called....#PinterestFail
But they had fun doing it and separating the colors of the M&Ms and that's what mattered! 

We joined Hailey's dad at his work for an Easter Egg Hunt the Saturday before Easter and that was also a lot of fun! 3500 eggs gone in 60 seconds...



Hailey had so many great people send her fun packages for Easter. This fun stuff came all the way from New York! 


To top off Easter I had been in contact with an organization called E Bunny and they wanted to make sure Hailey got THE best Easter Basket. Boy did they deliver on that! 
Everything in Hailey's basket was PERFECT! We appreciate this gift so much and would like to say Thank you to E Bunny for getting in touch with us and giving Hailey such a wonderful basket!!
