Buddies

Hailey loves it when Ethan comes to play and he is a good sport when she kisses and hugs him. He is on break from school so we get to play twice this week. Yay!

Playing with the baby Ethan got her for Christmas

Aw, they look so cute! (Can I say that?) Ethan looks like he will be a great brother when his mom has a baby in February!

Playing outside. It was actually cold enough to put hats on!

Early Christmas at Gramma Papa's

Since we are going to Idaho for Christmas, we had an early Christmas with my side of the family. Hailey had a great time ripping into everything. It was so much fun to watch. Christmas is really more special with kids around!

Concentrating on a present. (Turned out to be an ornament in case you were wondering!) Thanks gramma

Christmas fun

It has been a fun time with Hailey this Christmas. We went to a Christmas party with our mom group and she liked the polar bear, although she wasn't too happy about the balloon animal man. She played with friends, had a cookie, and we tried to have lunch, but she turned into a grump and decided to give me a good smack in the face. So, after that, we were pretty much done. Besides that, it was a fun day!

Helping decorate the tree and stirring up a yummy Christmas brew.

Hailey Hates Santa

So, I don't really need to say much about these except that Hailey was not happy. I'm sure if she could really talk, she would be saying some pretty naughty toddler words. She was fine with Santa's wonderland, but as soon as we got close to him, she had my in her iron grip. I'm surprised we made it out alive! Sorry Santa!

Hailey, Will, and Pammie

Hailey was pretty excited to have Will and Pammie over for a day. They had a great time together and yes, I was pooped by the end of the day. I guess that is why they only come one at a time! We need to have more friends come and play.........Rachel and Maddie, that means you!

Frosting cookies, they had lots of fun and made lots of mess.

Christmas tree craft.

Hangin' out Hailey

Playing on the picnic bench outside our house.

One day I caught Hailey licking an envelope. It was upside down, but it's still cool!

She loves making surprised "oh" faces.

Halloween.....

Here are some Halloween pictures. I know they are really late.

Hailey and dad at the ward Christmas party. Even with Hailey's messy face, I had to put this one in because Blake looks so cute.=)

Grandma Terry and the ladybug

Hailey's stash. Most of it is still here!

Ladybug in flight!

Lately, Hailey has been swinging on everything she can!! We wonder where she got that upper body strength.

Prepping for the ladybug costume.

Playing at the park with our friend Pammie

Hailey's fun personality.

Pumpkin city

I know I am pretty behind. I will try to do better! We went to a pumpkin patch and Hailey had a great time playing in the hay, going on the slide, and jumping in the playhouse. She was pretty mad when we had to go, but it was still fun!

Carving our pumpkin with dad. Hailey mostly colored the pumpkin blue. I tried to roast pumpkin seeds, but I accidentally put in double the amount of salt. Ick!

The big day!

My sister, Michelle, got married last Saturday. It was lots of fun. Hailey was a flowergirl. She actually walked down the aisle with the other flowergirl, holding hands. So cute!! She was a pretty good sport for being kept up without naps for 3 days in a row! My least favorite part was when she sat down in the middle of the aisle and I had to go get her and hold her in the line. She kept ripping the leaves off the trees and being crazy, then she slapped me sooo hard in the face! Needless to say, she didn't move around much after the evil mommy look I gave her. Besides that, it was great. Michelle was gorgeous and so happy.

The view from Michelle's hotel, minus the smog it's great!

Michelle, Chad, Ethan, Hailey and Riley

Flowergirls taking a breather.

Hailey takes California!

Hailey getting ready to drive the car!! She is so quick. We put her in the backseat while we loaded the car and it took her about 5 seconds to get into the drivers seat! Yikes! Yes, I am scared for when she turns 16!

Playing at the beach. Why didn't the photographer ask us to turn around?! Clayton!!!

Hailey LOVED squishing her toes in the sand and kicking it around. She got pretty wet by some surprise waves!

Some cool sailboats.

First merry go round ride! She said "neigh" the whole time!

At the end of the trip. I know it is out of order.=) Hailey and Ethan had a great time entertaining eachother and watching movies.

Making a very important phone call at the hotel. You know it costs money to dial out, right Hailey?!

Papa helping Hailey get her shoe back on. Aw!
