Pumpkins and mirrors

Here's Hadley eating her breakfast this morning with her pumpkin bib! She laughs hysterically right until I put the camera in front of my face and then she instantly goes to serious face.


Hadley loves looking in this mirror. It is so fun to watch her look into it and laugh!

Happy Halloween!

Although Hadley didn't partake in any trick or treating this year we couldn't resist dressing her up for some fun. As you can see, by the end of the pictures, she wasn't really enjoying the costume too much! She looked SO cute though, we could barely stand it!

Our Godson, Monroe, was dedicated at his church this morning. We all went to the service to mark the event.

Parnell Tower

We took Hadley to hike up Parnell Tower for the first time today. She LOVED her backpack carrier thing. She laughed the whole time as soon as she got in it, it was hilarious. She loved the whole experience, it was really fun taking her on our fall tradition for the first time.

2nd stop at the pumpkin farm

Hadley got invited to go to the pumpkin patch with some of her friends today. It was really nice to get to see them again, and Hadley had a great time checking everything out!

Check out that hair on all three of us, it was windy!!!

Hadley enjoyed the baby swings they had at the pumpkin farm, they had everything!!!

All the kids for a photo op!

We took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch!

"Look at me, I can clap!"


Hangin' with Lulu

8 months and 2 years....

So, monday was Hadley's 8 month "birthday" and our two year anniversary, such a big day! The past two years have been filled with amazing experiences. It all began with our wedding, which at the time was the most amazing day of our life. We both believe that most amazing day was replaced by the birth of our daughter 8 months ago. What an amazing experience, bringing a child into the world. Every single day we wake up excited to see her and see what she is going to do that day. Hadley turned 8 months old with 5 teeth, crawling like a maniac, pulling herself to standing, walking along furniture, waving bye bye, eating all table food, and making her parents exceptionally proud of her every moment. Our days continue to be filled with happiness because of this little girl. We are so happy to be her parents and could never imagine our life without her in it. So, we are thankful once again for all the blessings our life together has brought us. We look forward to another wonderful year together.

Our pumpkin with the pumpkins

This past weekend we went to visit Papa and Mimi. Hadley helped them pick out some pumpkins for their yard. They were so surprised to see how much Hadley has changed and how much more she can do in the short time since they had seen her last. We had a nice time visiting with them and spending the night. Mike and Jill got to go out to dinner to celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary and that was quite nice also!

"I can't put my arms down"

Hadley could have starred in the movie "a christmas story" tonight when we went for a walk. She was bundled up so much since it is so cold out. She is not sure how she feels about getting all that "stuff" on! These aren't the best pictures because she refused to sit still for me to take a picture of her.

Time with mom

This morning Hadley and mom got to spend some quality time together. Jill was subpoenaed for a trial at her old job so she didn't have to go to school today. It was nice getting to spend some time with Hadley. She is standing all the time now and wants to walk with your hands helping her, it is crazy! She eats all table food now which makes her seem like such a grown up! We sometimes wonder where our little baby went! (:

Hanging with Todd

Last weekend Todd and Lindsay came over to hang out for awhile. Hadley wasn't feeling well and was not a happy camper. However, Todd seemed to be quite good at calming her down!
