Hailey and Daddy

I just love this pix of them :)

Up Close

We have been enjoying the warm weather by swimming and playing with bubbles almost everyday!!!! My cute little girl even has cute little tan lines from her swimming suit. Thank goodness she has skin like her daddy :) Anyways I couldn't resist taking pix of her happy happy smile!!!! She would stay in the water all day if we let her. She just loves it!!!!

One month to go and counting :)

So our baby boy is really moving around a lot, I think he just might jump right out of me, wouldn't that be nice. We are getting excited, still working on a middle name and getting things all ready for him to enter our happy little family. I hope Hailey is as excited as we are :) She is going to be a fun big sister for him :)

So Proud!!!!

So I would just like to announce that after swimming today, before her bath, Eric asked Hailey if she needed to go potty and she sat on her potty chair and really went :) We are so excited for her :) We are making progress!!!! Good Job Hailey!!!!

 So the funnest part about being a mom this month is walking into a room and having no idea what I am going to find my creative little girl up to. I spend most of my day just laughing at what she comes up with to do with things around our house. She is just such a creative and very fun girl.

Loves to push her Mickey Mouse around in her car

Family Prayer part 2

So tonight I asked Hailey if she was ready to go night night and as she was rubbing her eyes she shook her head and said no no. Then she went over and grabbed her blanket and said " night night " so off to bed we went. As I carried her into her room I got about 3 steps through the door and she immediately got a huge grin on her face (wish I could have caught it on camera) and she folded her arms. Oh my heart melted because I didn't even say the word prayer or anything she just knows now that we pray before bed. Oh it was just such a beautiful moment to know that she is learning to pray before bed and likes it :) Such a sweet girl she is. I can just see us in the future being way busy and her reminding us not to forget our prayers. It is so wonderful how little children can make us feel so close to our Heavenly Father. We are so blessed to have her!!!!

Family Prayer

So every night Hailey and I have been reading scriptures and saying prayers together. Eric is away at school during this time and she is usually asleep before he comes home, but last night Hailey was up pretty late and Eric got to have family prayer with us. It was such a wonderful feeling to all be together saying our night time prayer. Hailey is so dang cute because she folds her arms and will keep them folded for the whole prayer. She is to the point now when I say " Hailey ready to go night night?" she will run over with her arms folded and blink her eyes a lot (trying to close them) she hasn't gotten the whole eyes closed part yet but she will say "ama" at the end of the prayer for "amen" I love hearing her little "ama". She also folds her arm when she is in her high chair for like a second before reaching for her food. I just can't believe how much she is learning everyday. Watching her discover our world and be excited about so many things brings us so much happiness. Love you Hailey!!!!
