Christmas 2007

I'm finally getting around to posting our Christmas pictures. It's been a busy couple of weeks! We had a fun Christmas. Everyone got spoiled! Haylee got lots of new toys and stuff. I think her favorite is her little arts and crafts table. She got some play dough and finger paints to go with it. She loves it and spends lots of time on it. Mike got a Wii and Christine got an iPod with a portable docking station. We went to Idaho on Christmas day, the weather was crazy but we made it safe and sound. Haylee always has fun visiting grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and cousins. Our trip was cut short by a day, we wanted to avoid the second storm that was on the way. Life is back to normal. Christine is crazy busy at work with month end and year end but that should be wrapping up very soon. Mike is busy with work and working on getting a Lab running soon. And Haylee is just busy being cute and silly. She's so much fun. She's grown up so much lately. She talks all the time and is figuring out that she is the boss of the house. I'll take some more pictures and have another update soon!

Judy Family Picture

Here's the new Judy Family Picture that we took on Thanks-
giving. I thought it turned out really good considering there were so many kids that had to hold still and look at the camera at the same time. It looks like Mike was hiding, I didn't know that he couldn't be seen behind me, but other than that, it's a great picture!

Haylee has had a hard couple of weeks. She started getting sick a few days after Thanksgiving and still hasn't been able to get over it. She has a cold that just won't go away. But it hasn't slowed her down at all, she's still as busy and full of engery as always.
Haylee's starting to talk so much, she seems to add a new word to her vocabulary every day. It's so fun to hear her talk in that cute, sweet little voice.
We're getting excited for Christmas. We'll be putting our tree up soon (we've been putting if off, I'm afraid Haylee will try to climb it). I'm working on my Christmas baking too. But I've put off the most important thing....shopping!!! I'll try to get to that this week. We're very busy lately but I'll keep taking pictures to update our blog! Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving Week!

It was Thanksgiving this week. We went to Idaho to spend the holiday with our families, but I forgot my camera! But I did get lots of pictures before and after Thanksgiving. I've got some of Haylee picking her nose (cute, right?). She helped Dad work on the car in the garage. On Saturday she got into Mom's make up and made her nose brown, she was in her brown pajamas when she did it so she looked like a teddy bear, it was cute! And, we have lots of pictures of Haylee just being Haylee.

Haylee Pictures

Here are some more fun pictures that we took of Haylee this week. It's getting harder and harder to get her to pose for pictures, she always wants to be the photographer. Here she is helping Mom make cookies (she loves to eat the dough!), and posing with Mom for pictures. What a cutie!

Halloween 2007

Hayelee's second Halloween! The first costume we bought her was a Bumble Bee. It was so cute, but she hated it! We tried several times to put it on her so she would get used to it, but it didn't work. She would cry and try to pull it off. She was only happy wearing it if Mom held her and pretended that she was flying. She really thought it was funny to fly over and sting Dad. But as soon as that was over, she would start pulling it off again. Eventually I gave up and bought her a back-up costume. She ended up being a cheerleader. She was super cute, even had pom poms! She had lots of fun trick or treating at Christine's office. She was shy at first but once she realized what was happening she got really excited and had a good time. We tried to teach her to say "trick or treat" before Halloween, but she understands the word "treat" and every time she heard it she would run for the pantry to get one. It was a fun Halloween, can't wait for next year!
