TAG

Tag....I'm it! My sister-in-law Jennie got me a while back but it looks like I missed the tag until now. SORRY! Anyway, I am about to tell you all what is in my purse. Bub knows this is a scary and kind of embarrassing situation. It really does not matter how big or small my purse is, it just accumulates junk. So here I go...

Two pairs of sunglasses
Ibuprofen
A dentist bill
One old checkbook without anymore checks in it
One new checkbook with checks in it
A bunch of pictures I picked up from Sam's club
Hand sanitizer
A monthly planner
Keys ( I don't know what they go to, truly they are in my purse from when Hailey was a baby and I would give them to her to play with):
Asthma medicine
A piece of a puzzle ( I put things in my purse when I find them and I'm away from home so they won't get lost, they just never make it out of my purse).
WIC packet
Pay stub
2 hair pins
A Dora the Explorer hair elastic
nursing scissors
And the best part, a ticket from some Logan Police man for not stopping all the way at a stop sign at 5am after I got off a bad night at work.
The next best part, I've got to get going to work right now so all of this stuff just went back into the black hole, my purse.

Hailey gave herself a haircut!

I decided that I would buy Hailey a pair of scissors today to teach her how to cut. For real, its something kids have to learn. I had her cutting pieces of paper and when she was done she would bring them to me, ( I was in the same room as Hailey, I was just cleaning). When suddenly it got way to quiet and I realized that I had not seen her for a second. I went to find her and..... she was cutting her hair! AWWWWWWW! I should have known ( I did it when I was little). I scared her as I screamed for her to stop and picked her up ready to head out the door to the beauty school ( you can get cheap haircuts there, it's great!). But then I took another second to look at her and really she gave herself a great haircut. So anyway, Hailey now has bangs.

Cute Girl!

Hailey helped me make this cake. She was so proud of it she did not want anyone to eat it, except her of course.
Just a closer view of Hailey's cake decorating skills she must of picked them up from Grandma Tere. Hailey wanted the piece of cake that is in the middle with all of the decorations. Yum-yum. Good work Hailey.
Hailey's eye were really really blue when she was younger. Now they are going green. Wierd!
Hailey laughs at the funniest stuff. I can only catch her smiling on camera when she isn't paying any attention to me.
When she does know what I'm wanting she gives me this look and says, "Mom no pictures today! The cute girl used to smile at the camera but when she gets pictures done everyday from her mommy I guess this is what happens. "Mom, go away, not today."


Hailey's many faces!

Hailey serious, NEVER!

Tag You Are It!

I have been tagged by my sister-in-law! I am supposed to come up with six habits that I find myself doing. So, here I go...



1. I love projects! Bub would be supprised if he came home one day and I wasn't up to some sort of project. I know I get this from my Mom . I have a friend who ownes a wood shop, so we are always thinking of stuff to make. I'm always moving furniture in our apartment around and changing colors in different rooms. So of course I really appreaciated my Micheal's gift card from Tom and Sandra. Thank You!



2. I love to watch Hailey when she has no clue I am around. She is almost always in her own little world, pretending she is wearing amazing pricess dresses. Watching her makes me smile. Sometimes we will be playing and I'll tell her I have to go and do something just so I can turn around and watch her play make-believe. It's cute.

3. I always have to have something sweet before I go to bed. Bad habit I know, but really it makes me happy!

4. I love to scrapbook. It takes me so long to get all my scrapbook stuff out and organize that by the time I get it all out, my will to scrapbook is gone. Then I put it all away so the little one around here does not get in to it. So really I guess I should say it's habit for me to get my scrapbook stuff out and never do anything with it.

5. I love take hot and I mean hot showers, especially in the winter. Sometimes I take two a day. Habit!

6. I guess I dance whenever any music is on. This includes in odd places like during a movie at the theaters, resturants, nice bathrooms that play music in them, elevators, etc...

Girls Trip!

Addy White, Maren Mather, and myself ( Danielle), decided that we were in need of a girls trip. I came down from Logan and met up with Addy and Maren and we drove down to St. George and spent the night at a friends house. The next morning we drove to Yuma, Arizona. Maren and her hubby are living in Yuma for the winter and spring. It was soooooooooo beautiful down there.

We are in the courtyard where Maren is living, picking grapefruit from a tree. Seriously! It was the sweetest grapefruit I have ever had.
Maren and I holding our breakfast. Yuma was a lot of fun. The courtyard was not only beatiful and full of fruit, but it had some of my favorite things- a pool and hot tub. Yep- we definitly spent our girl time out in the water. Shaun, thank you for letting us still your wife.
Saturday evening we drove to San Diego, one of my favorite places ever. Sunday morning we went to a near my LDS church where we found some college friends who lived in the dorms with Maren and I in Logan. And if that wasn't strange enough, Addy new them to from high school days. After church, we went as saw one of the most beatiful temples ever. The San Diego temple.

The weather was beautiful in San Diego. Very different than our winter wonderland in Logan, Utah. We spent as much time outdoors as possible. Smile girls!

What a beautiful temple!

Yep, we are at the beach! It was sooooo pretty and very relaxing. We brought some lunch with us, spent time collecting sea shells, and just had a lot of fun.

Me and the freezing cold ocean! Something about the sound of the water and the view was so relaxing to me. I loved it!

Smile! We were at the coolest beach I have ever been too. There was a bordwalk full of resturants and shops. There was also an amusment park and of corse cotton candy.

Yeah, so there were birds all over the place and it looks like one decided to poo on me. Needless to say, I had to get in the cold water and wash off. I guess it's all part of the experience huh.

Here is my cute friend Addy. She just chilled out on the sand looking oh so cute.

Like I said, it was a beautiful day!

What can I say, it was a great time. Thanks ladies! We'll have to do this again sometime.

My Mommy Graduated!

Hey everyone, I'm at WSU watching my Mom graduate! Yeah MOM! My Grandma and Dad were watching my Mom on her "special day" too.
Oh and this is Maren my Mom's best friend. She came to watch my Mom too. Thank you everyone for your support.
Good job Mom!
I graduated from WSU with a nursing degree in December 2007. I definitly could not have made it through school without my husband's encouragement and support. Thank you so much, I love you! I also want to give lots of hugs and a big thank you to my family, who also helped make graduation a possibility for me. Thanks to our friends and neighbors who have all helped us through this time. I love you all. Oh yes and thanks to my little Hailey, who kept me laughing and smiling. I love you tonz!

Christmas with Cousins

Christmas in Virginia!

Our Christmas trip to Virginia started on a drive to Las Vegas with Kory and Mary. We flew out of the Vegas airport. Hailey was so excited. We had been talking about going on a airplane ride to Grandma's house far far away (Virginia) and now it was time. Hailey did great on the airplane. I (Danielle) was a little nervous about her sitting still for so long but it was not even a problem. She was my little sweetheart.

"Yeah, I love ridding on airplanes."

Hailey had so much fun playing with her cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandma, and Grandpa.

Hailey liked to play at the park across the street from Grandma's home.

Hailey and Alissa were always hanging out. Hailey had a lot of fun with you Alissa!

Hi uncle Casey, ( and Jaymes in the back). Thanks for all the fun we had. I loved when you two woulds swing me in the blanket and toss me on the couch. I miss you!---Hailey

While we were in Virginia the family went to a cute ice cream shop and guess who was there? Yep-Santa! The kids got their pictures with him and had some delicious ice cream.

"Baby Kate" (Hailey says "baby" before kids names) and Hailey with cute yet dirty ice cream faces. OHHHHH, what cute girls!

This charming ice cream shop had two Christmas back drops that we took advantage of. Oh yes, we all had fun! Smile Hailey, Santa is coming to Grandma Sandra's home soon.

Alissa and Danielle- just being funny!

Hailey is ridding a rocking horse at the ice cream shop---and oh so cerious!

Santa really did not want the married children to sit on his lap, so we all pilled into his sleigh andand took some pictures of our own.

Christmas Eve--- It's not Christmas Eve without the Nativity. We had Mary, Joseph and a wise man all in Grandma's living room. Oh, and baby Jesus-mini mouse.

After getting to watch the nativity we spent some time around Grandma Sandra's grand piano. Talent filled the room that night. Alan sang to us while Sandra played the piano beautifully. She did amazing especially since she has a broken back. Jennie played her french horn for us and we even heard Alissa and Bethany sing, and Logan played his "tuba- what Hailey calls it" trombone.

During the musical talent we had some "silly faces" appear. Max and Hailey were having fun running in circles right in the middle of all the talent. They stold the show! Love you two!

Did that night ever end? I don't think so. Guitar Hero was played way into the night, or was it the morning.

Bub and his Grandma Lillian on Christmas morning.

Say Cheeeeeeeeeeese! Merry Christmas everyone!

Hailey and Kate practicing their talent on Grandma's grand. So Cute!

While we were in Virginia we celebrated Aunt Kristen's 16th birthday and Hailey's 3rd birthday.

Time to say goodbye! We love you guys and can't wait to see you all again!

The Whole Longenecker Family!
