Random- Running and Bangs

RUNNING:
In the summer a running shop in Mandeville hosts a Summer series of runs. It's only 2 miles across the lake front in town, so Hannah and I joined last night. I took the jogging stroller, but Hannah ran a good bit of it. She hasn't really gotten the whole "pacing" thing down. She basically runs REALLY fast for a while and then jumps in the stroller for a bit and that goes on for a while until she just stays in the stroller and doesn't get out. She has a good time regardless.

Hannah suited up with race number- ready to go!


BANGS:
I am attempting to grow out Hannah's bangs. I have been saying for a couple of weeks now that training her bangs to go the side has been SO much tougher than potty training. This is probably due to the fact that my expert bang cutting skills has progressively made her bangs account for half of the hair on her head. She has really thick hair AND really thick bangs. Well today, I finally got a bobby pin and clip to work. I'm not sure what the outcome will be when I pick her up from school today, but this was before. So, be patient because before long Hannah will look like this:

GEAUX HORNETS!

Hannah and I became really big Hornets fans this season! Hannah's favorite part, of course, were the cheerleaders- better known as the Honey Bees. Actually, I think the Honey Bees are a lot of peoples favorite part (no names will be said outloud).

Here is Hannah and I at our last hornets game of the season. Hannah got to take a picture with a couple of Honey Bees. Although we lost desperately, Hannah always has a great time screaming defense and dancing in the aisle. We have yet to make it on the big screen, but she tries VERY hard every time. Maybe next season.

Hannah's 4th Birthday Party

Here are some pictures from Hannah's birthday party. It was hard to pick through them so if anyone who was there have any they remember may have been taken then let me know and I will get them up.

Hannah at her party- Cinderella!

Hannah's Birthday Cake- Thanks Grandma!

OMG! Exactly what she wanted! (she says that for every present she gets- you can't go wrong)

Disney World

Yep, its been a month, but better late than never. I was trying a new blogging project, but its going to be a while before I can figure it out enough to transfer everything. I'll let you know when its ready, but that's one reason I haven't posted in a while. The other reason is that I sit in front of a computer all day and I really don't feel like staring at anymore on most days. Sorry. I'll try to get better again, if anyone ever even checks it anymore.

We had a GREAT time at Disney World. Hannah had a blast. She was princess most of the trip, but that's totally acceptable to go playing around dressed up as Cinderella in Disney World. Enjoy the pics- there are a lot of them.


Hannah's First Airplane Ride- she thought it was loud.

This is just a long story, but a cute pic

My favorite pic of the entire trip- notice the shoes too!

Hannah and Me

Hannah first "roller coaster" like ride. It wasn't a full out roller coaster, but it went really fast at one point.

Hannah was just shy of 40", so I taught her to kick her heels off the ground when she was under the measure stick. She caught on faster than I thought she would.

And then it was time to head back home!

Catching Up: Christmas

Hannah and I had a great Christmas. Here are some pics from our Christmas tree to Christmas morning to taking down the Christmas tree. Enjoy!

Hannah had one limb that she took a liking too. Needless to say in the middle of the night there were a few ornament casualties from that limb- it just couldn't take it.




We loved this tree very much!




Leaving Cookies and Milk for Santa. YUM!






The tree leaving our house. And yes, we had the same replacement tree as last year very shortly after this tree left our house. If you don't quite remember, this should help your memory. (http://allisonpcates.blogspot.com/2008/01/our-new-christmas-tree.html)


Santa did good! "It's just what I wanted!"

SNOW DAY

Hannah had a blast yesterday in the snow. I felt so bad dragging her inside because who knows when she'll see snow next. Her gloves were sopping wet, her hands were freezing, her socks were wet, but she couldn't stop throwing snowballs!

We built a snow man too, which you will see below. There is also a video of Hannah first thing in the morning! She was still trying to figure it all out. By the end of the day she had it down- Compare Video 1 and Video 2. Enjoy!

Go Hornets!

Last week Hannah went to her first Hornets game. At first she sat very still in her seat just taking it all in. She would point at the cheer leaders and look for Hugo the mascot every so often, but for the most part was not moving.

Hannah First Half


Right before half we went and got snacks and walked around a bit. She came back a different child and Hornets fan.







None of these pictures really captured the end of the game when Hannah was in the aisle with her hands cupped around her mouth screaming DEFENSE!

It was a blast. Needless to say she threw a tiny fit on the way out because she didn't want to go home, but who could blame her.

Halloween- Part 2

Oh my goodness, was Halloween 19 days ago? Oops! We went to Prairieville to my sisters for Halloween. Below are a few pictures of our Abby Cadabby.
