9 Month Photo Shoot

We had so much fun tonight doing Hailee's 9 month pictures! She absolutely LOVES the camera! She is such a happy girl! She is already following in our footsteps of learning how to "break certain rules!"
There are so many pictures to post, but I decided I had to choose our favorites of the day!

We love our little punkin so much!

Splash Zone

Yesterday, Friday the 29th, Gregg and I met up with a group of people at the Splash Zone here in Corona. It was alot of fun! I think Gregg and I enjoyed it more than Hailee did. She wasn't a fan of the cold water and all of the kids! She was content being held, but as soon as we tried putting her down on the wet ground, she cried! She did enjoy sitting on the towel and playing with her toys though!

On The Road Again....

Wednesday was Rick's last night here before he left for college again on Thursday. My family got together and we had a great dinner and hung out for the evening. It was so much fun! There is nothing better than being with your whole family and laughing the night away! Rick's good friend Jalyssa joined in on all of the fun too! She is such a crack up! Thursday we all said bye to Rick! I know he is really excited to be going back this semester because not only is he taking a quad with him, but he is also taking a snowmobile! How stinkin fun! He is going to be known as the guy who takes girls on the most awesome and adventurous dates! We will miss you Rick! Remember to study at least a little bit between all of the fun! We love you!

Happy 9 Months to Hailee

Hailee is 9 months old today (August 26th 2008)! She is growing up so fast! She is such a silly little girl and so much fun! She defiantly has a strong personality already and is such a sweet heart. She now has 3 teeth! Her first top tooth came in yesterday!

A few things about Hailee:

She has 3 teeth

She loves to crawl and to walk holding onto furniture
She loves to look and touch all of the clothes in her closet

She throws tantrums already if she doesn't get her way

She still loves her bottles, but won't hold them. We have to hold it for her

Hasn't quite figured out how a sippy cup works

Such a "silky blankie" girl

Finally is sucking on the 3+ month binkis

Every morning she throws everything out of her crib to try to wake us up

LOVES to LAUGH!

Loves to play "peek-a-boo"

Loves to play catch and toss

Loves to have you chase her when she is crawling

Loves having her teeth brushed
Gives kisses to the babies in her books
Loves playing with magnets on the fridge
Likes to stand and open and close doors over and over

Likes crawling up and over everything

Crawls up the stairs, but still trying to teach her how to go down them

Enjoys going to our studio to play with the toys we have there for her

Loves to be outside!

I could go on and on. She is such a blessing to us and is such a joy in our lives. We love our little punkin so much!

Friends at a young age...

Hailee and Jocelyn are becoming good little friends! They have hung out with each other a few times these past couple of weeks! It is so cute because they will talk their baby talk to each other and play toys!

Last night, August 20, Hailee and I met up with Jenn, Jocelyn, Jenn and Ashton at Victoria Gardens. We went to the Yard House and then walked around and shopped. It was alot of fun! after a while Hailee got tired of being in her stroller so I held her in my arms and she instantly lunged forward to hold onto the stroller handles to help me push! It was so cute! Oh, and wow, Ashton is already pimpin' it! He is only 4 months old and had 4 girls surrounding him all night! That a boy!

I look all ghetto, I came straight from the gym, but everyone else looks cute!

Summer Days...

Hailee is at a point where she LOVES to eat all of the foods that we do.Well, I guess she loves the flavors, but then she spits out the actual food once she has sucked on it! Anyways, my Mom loves figs and was eating one and Hailee kept trying to grab it. We didn't think that she would actually like it, but oh my gosh! She LOVED it!
Our precious "Boo Boo Bears!"
Hailee and I were outside watching Uncle Ricky paint his new trailer to take the quad with him up to school this fall. Hailee loved sitting on it! She will definitely be one to love quads at a young age!

Hailee loves being outside. Everyday we take a blanket out in the grass and blow bubbles, play with toys and watch cars drive by. She has so much fun!
On Friday night, August 15, we went down to Dos Lagos with Jen and James Ward. We went to "Pinkberry" because so many people have been talking about how good it is, and wow...it was disgusting! It tasted like you are eating iced over sour cream! Golden Spoon is still by far the best place! Anyways, we still had alot of fun with them!
On Saturday Aug. 16 Gregg, Hailee and I went back down to Dos Lagos to listen to a band play. We weren't too sure about it, but it ended up being alot of fun! There were a ton of people there and Hailee loved the music!



We absolutely love summer time and getting out as much as we can! The weather is just so perfect and we love spending time together as a family!
