Tutu cute!

Haley played ball with her Dada yesterday.  She had the best time as he threw the ball to her and up in the air.  She got such a kick out of seeing it go way up in the air and then fall down and bounce.  Dada is always so much fun!

Her expression is priceless as she tries to catch the ball.

Watching the ball go way up in the air.

Trying to throw the ball.  It may have gone in the wrong direction.

Her Gigi bought her these cute little pajamas.  They came with a tutu, so I had to put it on her and get pictures.  I was worried that she may hate it because she hates some of the strangest things (like wearing hats or sunglasses), but she didn't seem to even notice that she was wearing it.  Thank goodness because she owns a few tutus and I would love to see her playing with them.

Drinking her nightly ba ba with Dada.

This was one of the only ways I could get her to be still for me to get a full length shot.  We told her to look for airplanes outside (even though it was dark out).

"Vacuuming" in her tutu.  We should all do that to make it more fun!

Happy Birthday Da Daddy!

Today was Haley's grandfather's birthday.  Unfortunately, he is out of town for work, so we couldn't celebrate with him.  So, Haley and I did a little photo shoot to send him a special birthday wish.  Here were my favorites.

She was not in the best mood and didn't want to hold the sign even for her Da Daddy. 

So, I told her to read it like a book.

In this one, she is saying "A, B, C".

 We had to get a little help from Dada when he got home from work.

We love you Da Daddy!!  We hope you had a wonderful birthday.  We hate that we weren't there to spend the day with you.

A girl after my heart!

Today, she picked up my point and shoot camera and started doing this!!  I could not help but get very excited.  I really hope she loves photography as much as I do.  Oh the possibilites...

I recently taught her how to "swipe it".  She puts our old cards in her etch-a-sketch slot, moves it back and forth, and says, "sipe eet".  I know it's awful, but it sure is cute!  I have a feeling that I will regret this a whole lot one day. 

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, we went to a local pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins for the season.  We all got to pick out our own pumpkins.  We had such a good time hanging out as a family because we rarely get to do things like this together.  I, of course, took a million pictures.  Here are just a few of my favorites :). 

Looking at "Ae muls" (animals) and airplanes.  She is obsessed with watching airplanes fly across the sky.  She knows that her Da Daddy flies planes and so she always says, "Da Daddy airplane bye bye" all in one breath. 

The hayride to the pumpkin patch.  We were told to all stay seated at all times.  That was not so easy with such an active little girl who does not understand what stay seated means.

I wanted a white one and Scott picked out an orange one for Haley.  However, Haley very much wanted the white one for herself.  I told her she was more than welcomed to trade with me.

Of course, Haley had to find a place to pick up rocks.  She cracks me up.

They had a little petting zoo.  She had such a blast looking at all of the "Ae muls" we talk about all of the time (ducks, chickens, bunnies, cows, etc.).

She was a little scared of the real bunny.

This was her reaction when we told her we had to leave.

Trying to pick up and move her pumpkin.  It's pretty heavy.  She managed to move it a few feet, though.  She is a very determined little girl.

We LOVE this weather!

The weather has been so fantastic lately.  We had a great day outside two days ago.  We started out at the park.  Haley had such a good time playing on the playground.  Her absolute favorite thing to do is climb up and down any stairs that she can find.  She is learning to count and every time she goes up and down stairs she says, "un, two, tree, oar" (one, two, three, four).  It's the cutest thing.  We are going to spend as much time outside as we can before it gets too cold!

 Playing peek-a-boo with some people.

She found a Mickey ball and was so excited!!

Kicking the ball.  Or "keek" as she says.

Trying to pick up all of her favorite things at once.

She loves to help me around the house.

We had to go look for rocks.



We hope everyone else is enjoying the weather like we are!
