Little Reader

Hailee likes to get into our night stands and pull out the things that we have in there. She especially likes Jimmy's, his has more fun things to play with. Jimmy was telling me that after his shower, Hailee was playing in the drawers and he went to comb his hair and Hailee was really quiet. He went to find her and she was sitting in her room reading a book and if you look close you will see it isn't a picture book, it was Jimmy's Verizon phone manual. I guess she thought she was funny. She has this little fake laugh she does when she thinks she is funny or does something funny. Later before I came home from work, she was sitting on her ball bouncing her baby. She loves babies and loves to rock them or bounce them. She is so cute with babies.

Star Struck

Jimmy loves to watch UFC. One of the docotrs that I work with is a cage fighter and trains at a gym in Layton. He was telling us at work that Matt Hughes was going to be in town and was going to be training at the same gym. I was telling Jimmy about it and that he was going to be signing autographs and is going to be the ref at the fight on Friday night. Jimmy wanted to go see Matt Hughes. They took free pics and printed them out. We have a few on our camera as well. Jimmy took the pics that were printed out and had Matt Hughes and Jeremy Horn sign them.

*Me, Matt, Jimmy, Hailee, Jeremy

He was really excited. My older brother came to and had his pic done. Hailee was running around and kept going up to the table where Matt was at and he loved playing with her. He was trying to give her things and she would run off and then run back up to him. The people in line probably weren't too happy cause they had to wait for him to finish with Hailee. Jimmy was very happy that he went.

*Hailee and Abbi.

The girls were playing in the wheel chair waiting for the guys to go back through the line to get the pics signed.

Little Model

I bought a pillowcase dress from http://www.peekaboobowtique.com/ and I posted her in it on my blog. I received an email from the girls that make all the cute stuff they sell on their website, and wanted to put the picture of Hailee on their site. I told it was fine and sent them the picture. So you can check Hailee out in her first "model pic" on their site under picture gallery. Ok, so it wasn't a model gig, anyone can send a pic for them to post of kids in the things they sell, they just asked if they could use her pic. Check them out way cute stuff!!!

Hailee+Water=Trouble

Hailee has a fascination with water. No matter where she is or where the water is she's right there. Of course Ruger's water is outside, nice clean fresh water was put in there for her and Hailee decides that it is for her.

Having fun and needing a bath, we let her play. After she came inside a couple of times to let us know that she was playing with water outside,

I decided she had enough mud on her it was time for a bath. She didn't like the idea that I wouldn't let her back out to play and had a little tantrum.

She decided to put her own face against the wall, I didn't put her in timeout.

She hasn't even been in timeout before nor have I ever said anything about it. It was so funny, she had her tantrum with her face against the wall. Of course we don't have the backyard completed, so there is still a little dirt out there. She was good after her bath and a snack.

Outside

What little kid doesn't like being outside. Hailee loves it.

She doesn't care what it is like outside, she is always telling me "outside". Today was a very nice sunny day and I had opened the back door to let the cool air come inside.

Hailee took the opportunity to be out there with Ruger. All day long she has been in and out tracking in mud and water.

I am glad that we have grass back there now and a fence so she can just play outside in the back yard.

8 Years

Today Jimmy and I have been married for eight years. If you really think about it, eight years seems like a long time, but it hasn't seemed like it has been 8 years. Life together is at times a challenge, but in the long run it always is fun.

We have done many great things together from vacations to just hanging out together. We like to do a lot of the same things and I think that is why we have so much fun together. I didn't think that I would ever fish, but one year I remember going fishing almost every weekend. Getting up early and heading to the lake to fish. There are some pretty funny stories about our fishing trips. Jimmy likes to stay active. In the summer, we like to go hiking and up to Silver Lake to walk around. There are some crazy things that Jimmy has done that I thought to myself "he is going to kill himself", but in the end he is alive and now it's funny. I think that is the best part, even though we don't think something is funny at first, we always end up laughing about it. We have gone on some road trips when it was just the two of us.

We have been to Portland, OR many times, I love it there. I have been able to see the great person that he is and the love of the gospel in his life. I have had the opprotunity while we were dating and when we were married to see him work as a missionary. He loves the work. I also was able to witness a couple that he taught on his mission go through the temple, what a great blessing to be able to share in the joy. Now as life continues on, I can only think of the new adventures we will have together.

We have been blessed with a great daughter and can't wait to take her in the great adventures we take. I have the greatest husband ever!!

I have a new kitty

My new little kitty-

When my neice was about the same age as Hailee, she was a kitty for Halloween. My mom was getting rid of the clothes that she hasn't worn for a long time. She is now 6, so I have really cute clothes that she use to wear. I have a habit of not checking all the clothes that have been handed down and then Hailee has grown too much and doesn't fit in them.

I was pulling out some of these clothes and Hailee loved the kitty on the front of it. She told me "on", so I put it on her. She wore this pretty much the whole day. including the hat up, cleaning and shopping. She was the highlight at the stores and everyone thought it was too cute!!

Silly Hailee

Hailee was being silly and was making all sorts of faces. Here are just a few:
