Happy Birthday Jay!

Happy Birthday Love! 34 years old today...wow! The best part about your birthday is that we are actually together as a family! This is the first time in many years that we've actually been together for your special day and I pray you have an awesome day!

In honor of Jay's birthday, Matthew wanted to give daddy an extra special birthday gift by...(drum roll please!)...SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! That's right folks, it has finally happened...Matthew slept though the night last night! 10 full hours of blissful sleep! I'm just praying that it continues especially when we head to Mom and Dad's next week. We are off to California (well I guess I should say that we means Hailey, Matthew and I) to go visit the fam for 2 weeks. I'm dreading traveling with two kids by myself across country, but seeing my fam is going to be well worth the drama! While we are there I'll be doing the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer walk with my mom and godmother Loni so pray for us! 60 miles seems like an eternity when you have just had a baby and trying to coordinate meet up places to feed the little man!

Ballet in the Zoo

Last week we went to the zoo for Ballet in the park! They did a tribute to Americans who died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks and it was so beautiful. We brought a picnic dinner and Hailey even rode the train with Jay! It was such a fun evening out with the family.

Some cute pics

I love these ones of my little kiddos...

Matthew 5 weeks old

HE TOOK A BOTTLE!!! woo hoo!!! This was the first time that we have tried a bottle with Matthew and he L-O-V-E-D it! Hailey refused to take a bottle, and believe me we tried every one on the market with no luck. I am so excited that I can leave him for a few hours if I need to! It's the small things in life that make you smile when you are sleep deprived (o:
I love this picture of my two men (o:

Life in the stroller as we walk many miles to train for the "Breast Cancer 3 Day" walk that will take place in October.

Isn't he adorable?!!!!

Off to the zoo...

We went to the Montgomery zoo last week with our friends Jen (not seen in the picture) and little Mary! Hailey loves Mary...and of course she had to point everything out to Mary and Matthew that she found interesting.
Her favorite animal right now is the elephant! She does the cutest impersonation of an elephant and sings the elephant song from "The Jungle Book"...

Hailey was desperately scared of this cougar...and it was a good thing there were bars between us because he was out on the prowl. The day was overcast and cooler than most for Alabama standards, and I've never seen zoo animals come this close before...it was awesome!

Hailey Grace was enthralled by the giraffes and zebras

More Gymnastic pictures

Hailey finished her first full week of gymnastics this past week and she had a blast! She is already doing somersaults in the front room and working on her push ups! After each class, the teachers put stamps on their feet to reward them for a job well done.

Do you know how cute it is to watch 2 year olds try to stretch?!
