Hanging out with dad

Ryan has been taking Hailey out on little adventures during the weekend. Hailey loves her one-on-one time with daddy! They have taken Diesel on walks down by the river, gone fishing, and even just hung out in the garage. On the day they went for a walk by the river, Hailey was wearing her snowboots and instead of walking by the water, she walked in it. She had such a blast. While Ryan was loading up Diesel to head home, she took over the driving and thought it was great to sit in the front seat of the truck. Ryan also bought Hailey her first, pink, Barbie fishing pole. It has been love at first sight. Hailey spent an entire evening "practicing" casting and reeling in the "fish" before Ryan took her down to the pond.

Searching for the perfect pumpkin.

We went to Bauman Farms this year and had a great time! Hailey jumped on the big pillow, went down the slide, rode the hay wagon, tasted apples and picked out her pumpkin. Papa even spoiled her with an apple cider donut! And of course we couldn't leave without getting on the swings. We didn't even have to trek very far into the field, she pretty much picked the first one she found...and then proceeded to pick 2 more.

Summer Fun!

Relaxing in the tub

Hailey can relax anywhere! During her bath she likes to kick back and relax.

Easter

We had a great Easter this year. Hailey really got into the spirit of things and searched the front yard for eggs with cousins Grace, Hannah and Zach. Her favorite part of the Easter basket was the grass and she strung it all over the house!

New Washer

Who knew that our new washer would keep Hailey mesmorized. We wash her diapers in hot water and she loves to put her face up to the little "window" and feel the warmth. She screams out "bubbles!" repeatedly during the wash cycle. She even sat in front of the washer with her snack-cup and watched the clothes go round and round.

Snow!!!!

A few weeks ago we had a very small and very short lived snow storm. Hailey loved it! We went outside and the neighbor's grandaughter was playing outside too. The girls had a fabulous time together and when it was time to go inside Hailey threw a fit. Later in the afternoon we got another short round of snow, Hailey watched it from the window. When Ryan got home we went outside for more playtime.
