Busy- Busy!

So Chris keeps telling me to update- I know weird that he cares, but anyway I kept saying nothing has really happened and blah blah. Well Stuff has happened:) We will start with Chris. Chris joined the Air Force in January- He has begun going to Drill weekends and will most likely go to Basic Training Octoberish. It will be hard to be away from him for 2 months! We are excited and nervous about this new adventure. The benefits of it are far to great not to take advantage. He also started last week working at my dads business in the parts department, he said he gets bored sitting there- but its money and it pays the bills! It will start to get busy and I think he will enjoy it better.
So new things with Haylie: She is walking- she took a few steps here and there but she is so stubborn and thinks she has to hold on to your hand. Well Super bowl Sunday she got new shoes and took off and hasn't stopped walking! I think it was the shoes- Chris doesn't but I am always right:) She now thinks because she can walk she can run- nope she falls if she tries and she also thinks she can walk down the stairs!! Luckily we have been there every time she's tried so we keep telling her to go down backwards. She has fallen a few times but it was only a couple stairs and she got right back up. She also has taken over my couch! The picture above she crawled over on it with her stuff of course and she fell asleep- so cute! So every time we are in the living room she goes to "her" couch and points to the t.v to watch "her" show- Little Einsteins. She loves to climb in the cupboard with her stuff. She climbs inside then closes the door. It is so funny. She will randomly pop out and growl then close the door again. This kid is the high light of my day- after work she surprises me with all the new things she learned that day. I don't know what I would do with out her!
So for me: softball season has started! I am assistant coach for the Orem High Softball Team. I am really excited. Our first game is on Tuesday. I'm pretty nervous, I don't really know how to coach so hopefully things will go well- pray for good weather!!
Anyway- Life is good, we are working hard and staying extremely busy!!

Happy Birthday Haylie!

So as you all know, Haylie's Birthday is the day after Christmas, lucky her. It is so crazy to think my baby girl is 1- where did the time go? Unfortunately she wasn't the happiest on her big day. She decided to be ornery for some reason, but its OK. We gave her a stroller/walker that she absolutely loves to push around, she looks so cute with her stubby legs trying to walk. Hopefully soon she wont need the help to walk (cross your fingers!). So at her little birthday bash we sang Happy Birthday and I laid the cake in front of her. She poked her fingers in, then looked at me to see if it was OK. I put some frosting in her mouth and she went to town. She grabbed more then decided she wasn't getting it quick enough so she stuck her whole face in it! It was hilarious, she keep dipping in and coming up for air. She went at it forever, we got some pic's but no video (bummer). We were lucky she didn't get sick. She enjoyed her day after she got all the sugar! Thanks to my family who came and celebrated her big day with us!!

Merry Christmas!

her face is a little scary!

So for Haylie's first Christmas, she was spoiled. It was so great being able to spend the day with her. We had the morning at our house, then headed to Nana's (Chris' mom) in Grantsville. She got her tons! After we went down to my dad's for presents and food. We celebrated with my mom the Sunday before which was really nice considering how busy our day was. She was so great the whole day!! She loves all of her presents, I'm regretting getting so many that make noises!!! She pushes the same button over and over- just a little annoying! She wasn't into opening presents- she would poke a hole then try to look inside, it was pretty funny. Anyway our Christmas was excellent. Chris got me a lot and I love it all!! We hope everyone else had a great Christmas!

my Baby is ONE- well Almost

So my friend Mandie came and took our pictures the other night and did an amazing job, she got them edited so fast too- she is incredible! There are so many to choose from but I will post a few of my favorites, check out the rest of them on my facebook page. Thank you Mandie for doing a great job and getting it to us fast!

Life outside of pictures is going well. Chris is working with a guy from our ward who is also our friend, he is doing flooring jobs. I just got a job at the Dermatologist in SF and start on Monday. I am so excited to work there again. Its going to be hard leaving my baby but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to survive. We are almost ready for Christmas and Haylie's b-day. We have loved sharing this holiday with Haylie even though she likes to pull down all of my decorations! She is learning things so fast. She now balances by herself forever- no steps yet but probably soon:) She loves to shake her head "No" and say "peek-a-boo." She covers one of her eyes and does it to you, she is so cute. She loves to laugh, talk and yes she still eats a ton! This kid is always going to be in the 90% and average height. Not much more going on we'll post Christmas pic's soon:)

My Baby Girl is 10 Months!

I know I recently posted, but I took these really cute pictures of Haylie and I had to post them. I love this little kid so much! I cant believe in 2 months she will be One. I still am trying to get over that I was actually pregnant and here I am with almost a One year old-crazy!

So yesterday Chris and I were getting ready and we were in different rooms, I could hear Haylie just jabberin away and thinking she was with Chris. So all of a sudden Chris asked me where Haylie was and I freaked out, so I run into the hall by the stairs and she was going head first down the stairs! I don't know how she didn't flip over, but she was just sliding on her belly to go down. She was so funny, she looked at me like I was stupid for getting freaked and acted like she knew what she was doing. I really have to start paying attention I guess, I keep losing the kid!

Well all else is going great, we're excited to go trick or treating with her cousins on Saturday. I'll post the cute pic's of that next week:)

We're Home!

So we've been home for over a month now, but my computer was broke and now its fixed!!

Haylie is now 9 1/2 months old!! Crazy. She is doing all these new things now. On her 9 month mark she started crawling, a week later she stood up to the stair, a week after that she started standing up to furniture, then 2 days later started walking around it a little bit, then a day after that she climbed 2 stairs! So we are in big trouble. She is learning so fast I cant believe it. She is the funniest kid. When she is mad she doesn't just cry she yells at you in her own language. I just laugh at her and she yells more. Not a whole lot more is going on besides that. We are enjoying being back in our home and getting ready for Halloween. We had her 9 month pic's done so I'll post those:) The last one is with her cousin Makayla.

Behind the times

(this is us at Bear)

Wow- I am a slacker, but you cant blame me. Our lovely computer broke and we don't have the extra cash to fix it, so I am stuck with out a computer. I am staying after work so I can keep up on my blogging world. SO things that are different- We went to Utah for 2 weeks the beginning of August, we saw family, and went to Bear Lake. It was so nice to be back in Utah. It went by crazy fast. Bear Lake was great- it rained half the week but I still love it up there. Haylie did really good. She had a hard time adjusting at first but she loved seeing all of my family. She started sitting up really good while we were there. Chris had to stay in Houston to work. She is now 8 months old! My little baby isn't so little anymore. She is now trying to figure out how to crawl, but her legs are so stubby and fat she cant get them under her, so she just pulls them along. Its pretty funny. She has 2 cute little teeth on the bottom and is talking like there is no tomorrow- I wonder where she gets that from?

We went to the beach here in Galveston- it was awesome. The water was so warm, Haylie loved the salt, she is a weirdo. I guy caught a little shark- kinda scary swimming in there after we saw that. It was little but still they have teeth too! I have a picture, but I will post that later.

Anyway- We were going to be getting in to Utah in actually an hour but a job fell through for Chris and I haven't found one yet so we are coming Sept. 12. If anyone knows of anyone hiring for me and Chris please let us know:)
