Personal Pool!

Hailey got 2 new play pools for her birthday from her Aunt Jaime. We used the turtle one today and had alot of fun! Hailey loved it! It was just the right size for her! I think she could have sat there all day! She had fun splashing around and playing with the turtle head and legs. Water splashes out of the turtle's head when we turn on the water. At first Jay and I thought it was cooler than Hailey did. She was a little scared of it, but then she got the hang of it and would get really excited when we would turn the water on.

Here's a couple of cute pictures from today..

Yay!

Trying to stand up!

This is soo much fun!!

Sunglasses!

Hailey loves wearing my sunglasses! It's so funny to watch her face when I put them on her! She gets so excited! But of course, she always tries to take them off after a couple of minutes to play with them. Here's a couple of cute sunglasses pictures!

Party Time!!

Hailey had alot of fun at her 1st Birthday Party! And so did everyone else!! It was a cupcake theme and Hailey was decked out in her Birthday Girl cupcake dress and cupcake barrette!

Hailey's Cake and Sprinkles!

I made Hailey's birthday cake. It was an applesauce cake with a cream cheese frosting. It turned out pretty good and Hailey seemed to like it! I got cupcakes for the rest of the guests from my favorite bakery, Sprinkles! They were yummy as well! There were some extra batter from Hailey's cake, so I made cupcakes with the extra batter. Hailey brought the extra cupcakes to daycare on Monday to celebrate her Birthday with her friends. The kids liked them as well!

This looks good!!

We wanted Hailey to make a mess and she succeeded! :)

The Decorations!

The theme was cupcakes so of course everything had to have cupcakes on it!

This balloon is cool!!

By the end of the day, Mom and Dad were tired, but Hailey was still raring to go! :) Hailey can't wait until her next Birthday!!

ONE!!

We can't believe that Hailey is ONE!! It's so crazy to look back at older photos of Hailey and see how much she's changed! Hailey turned One on the 14th and had her party on the 15th. She had a fun birthday. When she woke up, I serenaded her with 'Happy Birthday', then we played a little with some of her toys and then she took some phone calls from some family wishing her a Happy Birthday. Later on we went to Sprinkles to get cupcakes for her party and to Whole Foods to get ingredients for her cake. When we got back, she ate lunch and then she opened her first birthday gift from Ava. It was the cutest thing watching her open it. She got so excited! :) Then we tried to go swinging but it was too hot, but we did manage to go for a ride in her new birthday wagon! Oh, and there were some naps sprinkled in there, but that's so boring! :) All in all, it was a fun day!

Here's some pictures from her Birthday..

Apples, bananas and sippy cups!

This morning I made Hailey something new from one of our baby cookbooks! It came out really good. It's called Apple and Banana Breakfast and it's apples, bananas and oats mixed together and cooked on the stove. Hailey loved it!

Hailey has also been doing really good with her sippy cup! She's been drinking all of her formula from her sippy cup. She's becoming such a big girl! We can't believe she's going to be ONE in 5 days! I've started the countdown- Brooke! :)

New backyard!!

We finally have a backyard!! We're soo excited because we haven't had a backyard for soo long! It's nice to have something to look at from our windows! :) We feel so normal now! It came out very nice and Hailey can't wait to play in it! We got a walkway of pavers done so Hailey can ride her bike and stuff on it!

Here's some pictures of our new backyard!

Hailey and Jay checking it out!
