Early.

Well it seems that every Christmas we usually get an early Christmas present. We've had our computer for about 7 years and it is slowly dying on us. We decided it would be best to get a new one before it just up and crashes. We decided we would get a cheaper computer and then get an Ipad as well. Ryan gets very excited about these kind of purchases. There was a big sale at best buy in lou of Black Friday, so Ryan ordered one. It is lots of fun and very handy to have with little kids. I'm not a big electronic person, but I'm glad we got it.

Hayley's getting really good at grabbing things and loves to play with her toys!

Babysitter's

I have the best little babysitters...well occasionally anyway!

Apparently Hayley had cold hands...I wonder what he'll do if her feet get cold!

They really do adore her, and she does them too.

Hayley's Blessing

Hayley was blessed on September 25th, so this is quite late! I'm sure I could think of a good reason why, but atleast its getting done now. It was such a good day! It was actually the first blessing that I actually hosted at my own home. My Mom did Nate and Ty's, and McKenna's was at St. Mich's when my Mom was sick, which my Grandma and Aunt pretty much did. I was a little nervous about feeding and hosting 20ish people afterwards, but everything turned out so good. I made mexican chicken chili, and it was fantastic! We had all my immediate family, Ryan's immediate family and his Grandma June, and My Grandparents and Aunt Terry, and Uncle Dan and his family. We loved all the support and everyone made it a special day for Hayley! Here's her blessing:

As you grow your body will grow strong and healthy and you spirit as well

Desire to do right

Make pleasing decisions

Desire to stay active and be strong in the faith

be worthy and be married in the temple

Obedient to parents and family

Be successful in life and be happy

Form strong bond with family, look up to them and follow their example

Be an example

Cousin's

These two little cuties are only a month a part. I think they are going to be the best of friends one day. Do you know how I can tell...because when their next to each other and Ember puts her hand right on Hayley's mouth, Hayley licks it, and they both don't seem to mind. Now thats friendship!

Beanie Baby.

I absolutely adore this chubba wubba baby girl!

I left Hayley in the care of her older siblings for a moment and when I came back into the kitchen she looked like this...

our own little beanie baby bear! (I always call her beanie baby, Hayley bean, baby bean, pretty much anything with bean in it). She's got some great babysitters!

Halloween.

The whole clan!

Cinderella

Mario

Our little milk cow!

Two Months

Hayley Bean is 2 months! We all sure adore her over here. I seriously just want to squeeze her all the time because I love her so so much. She is:

was 11 lbs a couple weeks ago
smiles and coo's all the time
holds her head up really well and is strong on her legs when we stand her up.
she is so wiggly...always moving her legs and arms
starting to notice her hands
loves watching and talking to her siblings
when laying on the floor she gets right on her side
loves to be held and cuddled
loves her soother, but has been sucking her thumb quite a bit the last couple of days
sticks out her tongue a lot and makes raspberry noises
cat naps during the day with only 1 really good 2-3 hour nap
usually sleeps about 5 hours at night (usually from 10:00pm-2:30am), eats then settles right away, but will only sleep for 1-2 hours after that (one of us is usually up for the day around 5-5:30am)

Isn't she just the cutest thing you ever did see!
