Fun with friends!

Brooke and Ava came to visit in January. We had alot of fun with them while they were here! We got to spend more time with them than normal, which was awesome! The first night, we went out to Grimaldi's for dinner and Jay taught Hailey and Ava how to make rings out of the dough that they gave them to play with. They also learned how to spin the dough in the air. It was hilarious! The next time we hung out, we took the girls to the Phoenix Children's Museum. The girls loved it! There was alot of things for them to do! They especially loved to run through the noodle farm and the car wash where they could ride around on bikes (or where the moms would push them around on the bikes!:)) It was definitely a fun time! The last night we hung out, we met some other ADPi girls at Oregano's. We had to wait a while and the girls were troopers! Hailey was excited that she got to drink out of a big girl cup! :)

All in all, we had an awesome time visiting with Brooke and Ava! We can't wait for their next visit out here and one of these days we'll make back to Minnesota to see them!

This is cool!

Happy New Year!

When Jay was a kid, he used to ring in the New Year by banging on pots and pans with this sister! Jay wanted to carry on the tradition. So before Hailey went to bed on New Year's Eve, she got to ring in the New year by banging on her pot! :) She had alot of fun! Here's a couple of pictures from our festivities..

This is fun!

Celebrating on New Year's morning..:)

Christmas in February! :)

So I know it's a little late for Christmas pictures but we got a lot of cute pictures from Christmas, I had to post just a few! :) We had a great Christmas! Hailey had alot of fun. She loved opening presents, had alot of fun with her family and loved the yummy food!

Here's some of my favorite Christmas pictures..

Elmo!

It's been a little while since I've posted and it's about time for some new posts! :) Things have been a little crazy lately getting settled into the new house, so it's been a little hard for me to get on the computer.

Hailey had an Elmo Christmas! She got an Elmo Live, an Elmo phone, an Elmo remote, an Elmo book and an Elmo shape activity set! She loved all of it! Her face when she unwrapped the Elmo Live on Christmas morning was priceless! Here are some cute Elmo pictures..

What is it?!

Yay!

Now I have my own remote! :)

Awe!

This is my favorite! :)

Santa!

So we took Hailey to see Santa at the beginning of December at this Christmas festival they were having by our house and it wasn't a very pleasant experience. Hailey was kinda clingy that day and only wanted to be held by mom and dad, so there was no way she was going to let Santa hold her! So we have a picture of me sitting on the ground in front of Santa and Hailey standing in front of me not looking at the camera.

So since that experience, I was really wanting to take her back to try it again. So we finally went again on Christmas Eve so that Hailey could get in her last minute gift requests! :) This experience was alot better! She let Santa hold her and I think we got some pretty cute shots! :) And at the end, Hailey got a cute Christmas book!

Not so sure what's going on..

This isn't so bad! :)

This is my favorite!!

Spaghetti!!

Hailey had spaghetti for the first time the other day and loved it! The pictures of her face say enough! :) Here they are..

First Haircut!

So Hailey got her first haircut this weekend! Her hair kept getting in her eyes, so it was time! We took her to this really cute place called, Snip-its. Hailey wasn't really ready to sit in he chair by herself, so she sat in my lap in the chair. Once we did that, she didn't mind that the lady was cutting her hair. She actually had fun! Afterwards, she got a certificate that said she got her first haircut and they gave us locks for us to keep. And they also took a cute picture of the three of us at the salon. At the end, she got a little card that she could push in this machine thing and a prize came out. She got 2 Christmas stickers! :) The lady put her hair in a pony tail with a pink bow and she looked so cute! She has the cutest little bangs now. :) Afterwards we went to a park and took some pictures of her with her new look for our Christmas card. You'll have to wait for your Christmas card, but there's a pic of her from her photo shoot at the end as a preview! :)
