Update

I guess it's about time for an update! These are some of my favorite recent pics. The last is Hailey in her new princess jammies that Grandma D. made for christmas. (sorry i can't figure out how to flip it) She think's it's a halloween costume and not jammies, but she sure likes to dress up in them. We all had such a great christmas being around our families. We even got to see Bud's family for a few days before christmas. Hailey loves her cousins, all of them! Anytime we are headed to a grandma's house she says "my cousins there?" It's so cute. Hailey rang in the new year trying to sneak out and play games with us, but we kept sending her back and she ended up falling asleep in the hallway. She's so cute. Some of the cousins were over at our house and all had candy bracelet's on one day. It was so cute to see them all in a circle just chowing down on their wrists! We went bowling for Uncle Mike's birthday last week and all the kids sat patiently waiting their turns...for about 1 minute! Then we were off chasing them in every direction the rest of the time, but they had fun. I still can't believe 2011 is here and January is half over...Jeff's almost 31! We hope 2011 brings everyone happiness, and us another little one ! ;)

1st's

We finally got Hailey her 1st real haircut the other day. She loved the pink cadillac she got to drive!

 

 

We had our first real snowstorm of the year today so dad helped us all get out and enjoy it! We made a pretty sweet snowman. Hailey really enjoyed the snow and liked singing the snowman song the whole time. She is seriously growing WAY too fast for us!

 

 

Happy Halloween,and National Adoption Month!

 

 

 

 

Halloween was so fun this year! I love that Hailey likes wearing her costume all over, even last year she loved having a costume on. We were going for a "Charlotte's Web" theme with Mr. Zuckerman, Charlotte, and Hailey as Wilbur, but the Piglet costume just didn't work for it so we were simply a farmer, a spider, and piglet. Hailey loved "trick-or-treater"ing as she called it and really liked handing out candy. Except to the mean scary wolf that came to our house. She's a candy girl for sure and she even chooses suckers over chocolate. What?! Anyway, this month is also National Adoption Month and we are INCREDIBLY grateful for adoption and glad we get the opportunity to work with an organization called Families Supporting Adoption (FSA) to promote a positive image of adoption in our community. We are the activities chair people and it's keeping me extremely busy this time of year. Hope you all had a great halloween and don't forget to spread the word about adoption!

Hailey, You have stolen our hearts and taken our breath away (literally)on many occasions. We love you more than everything and are SO LUCKY to have you in our family! Happy Birthday Hailey girl!

The Adventures of Hailey

 

 

 

 

We are having such an amazing time watching Hailey grow up...it's going by WAY too fast though. We took her to Hogle Zoo this summer with Uncle Jason and Aunt Alisa. She loved the monkeys almost as much as she loved staying with Uncle Jason! She loves shoes. She can put her own sandals on and is always wearing a pair of my shoes around the house. She also loves playing in the water...especially the hose. She drenches herself just like she did when she was a baby and it's still hilarious. She is also quite the candy thief! She can find candy anywhere in the house and find a way to get it, even if it's in the highest cupboard behind all the dishes! We'll post more adventures later, and hopefully I can figure out posting videos because we've got some funny ones of her.
