Hayden's Christmas Pictures

My wonderful, beautiful, incredibly talented sister-in-law took pictures last week for our Christmas card.  We are so lucky to have these wonderful pictures of Hayden growing up.  Haley is so, so talented and if anyone needs pictures taken of their kids, family, engagement, etc.....she is awesome!  Here is a link to her photography blog with our little girls pictures!

Backyard Fun

Now that the weather has cooled down, we have been really enjoying the back yard. We put in a playset and Hayden wants to swing at least 3-4 times a day!! Here are some pics of Hayden running around the back yard.....

She likes to smell every flower she sees!

Hugging on Annie!

She loves Bo and is always hugging and kissing him!!

Her favorite chair:

Hot Days of Summer

I took these pictures a while ago when it was soooo hot outside. We got home from Austin on a Sunday afternoon and decided to blow up Hayden's little inflatable pool and let her cool down. To let her cool down even more, we gave her her first popsicle. She loved it!!! and has had several since then. Here is our little cutie enjoying the afternoon in the backyard......

Getting some love from Daddy!

One Crazy Summer.....

To say that we have been busy this summer would be a serious understatement!! We moved into our house at the end of May and have been home only 2 weekends since then!! We have had a blast going to the ranch, to the lake with Johnnie, Angie, and Olivia, going to the lake with the Greesons, going to NYC, going to bachelorette weekends, wedding showers, and baby showers. I have a ton of pictures to upload, but here are a few of our sweet girl when we went down to Austin for Amber's baby shower and stayed at Tami and Kenny's house. They have some land outside of Austin, and it is beautiful there. They have goats, cows, and chickens. Hayden loved seeing all of the animals!!

Hayden has been so silly lately!! She is so ticklish and laughs so hard!!

Hayden's 1st Birthday

I can't believe I am just now posting these!  We celebrated Hayden's first birthday last month...I can't believe how fast a year can fly by.  We still didn't have a house, so a great family friend offered to let us have it at their house.  It worked out perfectly and we are so grateful that Tom and Barbara opened up their beautiful home to us.  We had a big family get-together and ate, went swimming, and just hung out.  When we got there Barbara had the whole house decorated.  It was so sweet and so pretty!  Here are some of the decorations:

We had the party catered with fajitas and Sprinkle's cupcakes.  They are so good, and were definitely a hit.  Here is Hayden enjoying her first Sprinkle's cupcake:

She dug right in:

And then wanted to share with Tom:

Kamdyn enjoyed hers too:

Finally....

I officially have been the worst blogger ever!!  Things have just been crazy since we moved out of our house, but so much has happened.  We moved out of our house and in with my poor mom until we found a new house.  Well here we are 2 months later, and we are finally moving out this weekend.  We closed on our new house last friday, and they are refinishing the hardwood floors and we will be in by Saturday.  All of our stuff is already there....it is just in the bedrooms and the garage.  We are so excited!!!!  We are not going to know what to do with all of the room in this house.  I will post pictures once we are in.  We are going to have to get a riding lawn mower for the backyard!!

We celebrated Hayden's first birthday last week, and had a great time.  We weren't sure where we were going to have the party, but a family friend offered to have it at his beautiful house that has a great pool.  We had a great little family get-together to celebrate, eat, and swim.  I will post pictures as soon as I find where my memory card reader has disappeared to.  

Hayden is doing great.  She is so close to walking, and she is always on the move.  She is completely off of bottles and is doing great with all of her meals.  She loves any fruit, veggies, chicken, cheese, yogurt and pasta.  She is just the happiest little thing, and there is no such thing as a stranger.  She will reach for everyone, smile at everyone, and talk to everyone.  Every trip to the grocery store lasts at least an hour, because she will stop and talk to everyone we pass.

Here are a few pictures from the arboretum with her cousins.......

Hayden's One Year Pics

My sister-in-law, Haley, is an AMAZING photographer!!!  We went up to Frisco this morning to take some cake smash pictures.  Before we let Hayden tear into her cake, she took a few in this adorable onesie.  I can't wait to see the rest, and I can't believe my baby girl is almost 1!!!!!

Check out http://haleybphotography.com/blog/ !!  She is soooooo talented!!

One Crazy Month

We have had a crazy month.  We sold our house and have been packing and moved out this past weekend.  Hayden had her second laser surgery on the 11th (last Thursday), I had my 30th birthday on Friday, and we moved out Saturday and Sunday.  We haven't bought a new house yet, so we are staying with my poor mom for a little while.  

Hayden is doing great!! She is still really swollen, but is back to her energetic little self.  The doctor was very happy with the results of the first laser treatment.  The hemangioma is so much lighter and is starting to get smaller.  I can't wait to see the results of this treatment once the swelling and bruising go away.  Here are some pictures of H after the first treatment.....

In her jumper

When we started packing up the house, there was way too much for Hayden to get into, so we bought this little play pen.  She loves it and it kept her out of trouble.  She loves to unpack boxes!!!

Baby Shower

We helped host a baby shower/party for our friends Dave and Bridget a few weeks ago.  They are having a little girl, Kynslee Grace, in April.  We can't wait to meet her and have another little girl for Hayden to play with.
