Update

Hailey is growing so fast we thought we would post a few pictures. She is starting to experiment with crawling. She will be on the move shortly. We went to the park over Thanksgiving break and she had her first swing ride. She loved it. She has always loved being outside. I dont know what we will do as the snow comes and the temperatures drop.

Quick Up date

Here are a few recent pictures of Hailey. She is growing so fast and is so much fun. Her new favorite thing to do is read books. She loves to be held and read to. Dan was able to keep her attention by reading to her for 30 min. She loves it. And as most of you know, ever since she was born she has had the most delicate hands. She is always holding her hands so gently and looks like she is posing. I got this picture of her while she was sitting on daddy's lap. She is also loving baths now that she can sit by herself. She splashes like crazy and just giggles.

FALL BREAK...NO STUDYING ALLOWED!!!!

Over Dans fall break, we took a little vacation about 2 hours away and went to Wisconsin Dells for the weekend. They are known for their indoor water parks. The resort we went to was called Kalahari. It had an indoor water park and an indoor amusement park. You can go to kalahariresorts.com to learn more about the resort. It was huge We went with Matt, Amie, Kaylee, and Josh. It was so much fun. The best part was that Dan didn't do any studying!!! It was so nice for him to take a break. We are excited to go back again some day! Here are a few fun pictures.

First trip to the Zoo

A couple weeks ago we had a fun day at the zoo. We went with Amie, Kaylee and Josh. The Milwaukee zoo in amazing. I have never seen a zoo like it. It is huge and not to mention, full of animals. There are all kinds of animals. They even have animals i have never seen in person before. Out of all the strange animals we saw, i would say the hyenas were the strangest. They are very interesting animals. Im glad we got to take a trip to the zoo before it got too cold. Thanks Amie, Kaylee and Josh for a fun day!!

6 Months Old

Hailey turned 6 months old this week. I cant believe how fast time is going. She had a very successful doctors appointment. She is as healthy as can be and is a good size. She is in the 75% for length and only the 50% for weight. She is still tall and skinny but very healthy. Here are some pictures to show you how much she has grown.

Sorry its been a while since we have posted anything new. We are doing great. We are really enjoying Wisconsin but not excited for the dreaded winters!! Dan is doing great in school and Hailey is growing so fast. She will be 6 months old this week. I cant believe she has been in our family that long. She is so fun. More of her little personality comes out every day. Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to.


Dan has been studying like crazy. He has had 7 tests in the last 5 school days. He works so hard and his test scores prove it!

This is Dan's favorite thing to do during his breaks.

WE MADE IT!!!

We have arrived in Wisconsin. We got here on the 14th of August and are just trying to get settled. We are still in boxes but slowly making progress unpacking. The trip is about 1400 miles and we drove it in 3 days. Hailey was a trooper. There were times she had enough of her car seat and wanted to get out. I dont blame her, I wanted to get out too!! Once we arrived we arrived it was so fun to see Matt, Amie, Kaylee, and Josh. It was hard to leave family behind but was a lot easier knowing we had family waiting for us. We are excited for Hailey to have cousins to play with.

We cant believe the summer is pretty much over. It went by so fast! But we had a lot of fun. This past week we had a Family Reunion and also a trip to Lake Powell. There is no better way to end a summer. We are already looking forward to next summer.

Nothing more refreshing!!!

Over the 4th of July weekend we went up to our cabin in Island Park with my family. It is beautiful up there. We had fun riding on the boat, playing around on wave runners and just hanging out with the family!!! On saturday there was a boat parade. People decorated their boats and drove them around the lake. Later that night there was a beautiful firework show above the lake. It was so pretty how they reflected off the lake. We had such a fun trip!!
