Ink

0

Hayley has been begging for a tattoo so I made her a deal. I would pay for it if she did the following things: pick a design and wait a year, get a temporary version of it for a few weeks and ensure her future career will not be impacted. After she complied, we headed off to the only place I consider worthy around here, Mad Ethel’s. It’s appointments only, all custom artwork, just a really quality experience.

The truth is at 20 years old, she was old enough to do this if she wanted without my permission. So if she was willing to make a thoughtful decision, I supported it. Hell I got one in college too. Plus momma wanted some new ink too 😉

Paintballers

Hayley’s Christmas present to Uncle Jay was a paintball experience down at Black River Paintball. They both came back having taken a shot in the neck but really no worse for wear. They do look pretty badass!

Braces

0

A few weeks ago Hayley got her braces on! She’s been dying to get them but she was less thrilled when they were actually on. At her next appointment, she’ll get to pick colored bands – she can changed the colors of the braces each appointment. We love her orthodontist Henry Zaytoun and his staff– I actually roomed with one of his sisters at a high school summer program.

See a few more photos from the first couple of days she had them on:

Thumb fracture!

0

Hayley got tossed from a horse this week and she was shaken up but was just fine pretty soon after. Since I’m always overprotective, I took her up to the ER just to check things out. Turned out she has a small closed fracture in her right thumb (and yes, she’s right handed, ugh).

Despite her fierce mugging below, she is having fun with all the attention and cast signing. She’s in almost no pain, more annoyed by the cast issues.
