Fall is in the air

Brandon and I had to go for a walk in all the fall leaves last week. They were soooo pretty! I think most of them are probably gone by now because winter has decided it wants to come. I love fall when it cools down a little but it's not super frigid. It just never last long enough!

6 Month Photos...Precious

When I was in CA I got Hailey's 6 month photos taken. I'm a little late posting but oh well. She did pretty well. She would not smile! We did the best we could. I think they are darling!

Baby's First Halloween!

It only seemed right to follow our theme of ladybugs this year and dress Hailey as one! Isn't she the cutest!(I'm the mom so I have bragging rights!) Brandon and I also went to a Halloween party last week. We went as Nacho Libre(recreational clothes) and Encarnacion. We were going to try for the wrestling outfit for Brandon, but not enough time. We had fun hanging out with Ben and Michelle and the cousins.

Fun Times in CA

Hailey and I took a little trip down to California for a week. I have such a great husband that understands and lets me leave him for a week. We did lots of fun things while we were there. Here's a recap:

Andrea and I got to hang out and do "MOM" things one day. We went to story time at the library and then went to the park after. Hailey swung in the swings for the first time. She loved it!

We went to the Great Park and took a ride on the big orange balloon. It was a little chilly so Hailey was all bundled up. A few days later they put a jack-o-lantern face on the balloon so it looked like a pumpkin. So cute!

Ahh...Disneyland! This was Hailey's second time to Disneyland and she loved it! She loved looking around at everything and going on rides. She was happy all day there. I guess it's called "the happiest place on earth" for a reason! It was all decked out for Halloween. I love it! But it was really hot...hence the nastiness in the pic.

Andrea and I took the kids to Irvine Park where they have the pumpkin patch every year. This was my first time going and it was so cute! They have a bounce house, haunted house, bumper cars, maze, pony rides and a train that goes around the park. Still really hot but fun!

We bought these cute little matching glow-in-the-dark "Bones" jammies for the kids. Lucas loves skeletons right now and is actually going to be a skeleton for Halloween. It was really fun to to see them dancing in the mirror in the bathroom with the lights off!

Watching cartoons with Lukey

Talking with Nana 

Lucas wanted to feed Hailey 

Loved playing in the exersaucer! 

We also went to the swap meet, Nana's work, Papa's work, swimming(waiting on pics!), and we did lots of shopping!

6 Months Old...aka...Chunky Monkey!

I can't believe it's been half a year! Where has the time gone! Hailey has recently started sitting up on her own and has TWO teeth! That could explain her crankiness for the past little while. She has been eating rice cereal and soon to start food. Yay!

Backpackin' it!

We took Hailey on her first hike the other night. It was kind of a test hike to see how she would do. I think she liked it overall...she was a little cranky because she was tired. Oh well. We are going to try going on a longer hike this weekend! Fun fun!

Bug-a-Boo

We finally bought Hailey this little door way jumper because all she wants to do is stand up all the time! This gives me a little break every now and then. She only like to be in it for a short period of time for now, but I'm sure that will change. When I put her in it she just talks and sings, it's really cute!

5 Amazing Years!

I can't believe it's been 5 years since I married this handsome man! We have experienced a lot together so far. Here are a few highlights from this past year:

• Brandon graduated!
• Got a new job (Brandon)
• Had a baby
• Got a new car
• Got another new job (Brandon)

I can't wait for another year. Brandon is such a great husband and a wonderful father. Love you so much! Happy Anniversary! 

4 Months

4 months means more shots! Hailey was a trooper though. Just a little cry with each poke. I overheard the nurse as she was walking out say, "Best 4 month shots ever!" She is quite the chatter box lately. And she learned to roll over! She has started to get a little stubborn over car rides. But she is just the best baby ever!

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Hailey just learned how to roll from her tummy to her back. I was such a proud mom the day it happened!
