sleeping baby!

Here's Hailey the other day...she fell asleep while I was vaccuming and she looked so dead to the world that I couldn't help but get a picture!

Korey, Hailey, and Allie all sleeping in on Sunday morning. I don't know why I'm up taking a picture instead of joining them, but I just can't seem to sleep in too late! (this was definitely past 7, 'cause I had gotten up and fed Hailey at 7 and then I left them all to go and take a shower...)
The best part is the fact that the dog is sleeping on my pillow!! What is that??

fishing adventures!

Last night when Korey got home from work he wanted Hailey and I to go fishing with him!! We had such a blast. Hailey was just such a peanut and she was so good for us!! Yeah! I think she enjoyed being out on the boat- there was so much to look at. Too bad she missed it when Korey actually got a fish. She was sleeping one time and the other times she and I had gone back to the vehicle to eat! ;)

Here she is sitting in the front seat, helping me pull the trailblazer and the trailer out of the water. I was too afraid to leave her in her carseat...I just kept thinking about that lady whose car went backwards into the water, off the boat launch, and how they had such a hard time even getting her out and I figured that you'd never get a baby out of a carseat in time! (Plus, she's just so goshdarn cute sitting there!!) :)
I know this isn't a super good picture of us, but I loved how you could see the sun setting behind us and kind of glistening off the water!

Here's Hailey holding onto the pole all by herself! she's so grown up. :) Too bad she didn't catch anything.

Daddy and Hailey!

Taking a nap, all wrapped up in her blankets!

I put some blankets up as a little sun and wind barrier for her. She had a good time laying on the bottom of the boat just hanging out talking to us! She really liked it when Korey started up the motor and drove us around, maybe it was the vibrations or something...

I set her on her own little seat and tied a blanker under her arms and around the seat. She sat there for a little while, but the sun kept getting in her eyes whenever the boat would turn a certain way and it was pretty windy, so it just kept turning. :)

A new week

Hailey's new trick is pulling the little frog on her bouncy seat herself. It is pretty cute. She soothes herself with it, too! Today she also found her nuk for the first time and tried to put it into her own mouth. It was almost comical, though, 'cause she couldn't figure out the right way for it to go in and she kept getting frustrated at it because she couldn't get it in her mouth! (she had it sideways) :) So, she really did end up crying more than she would have had I just put it in for her, but it was fun to see her try and put it in!

It seemed as if last week we just ran around like chickens with our heads cut off and when Monday finally rolled around I was so happy to be home that I think I visibly sighed with relief! But, now today rolled around and I have nothing to do and I kind of miss being so busy all the time! It seemed, last week, that my days just flew by and I would look up at the clock everytime it was time to feed Hailey and think...yikes! it's that time already, but today I keep looking at the clock and thinking...hmmm, isn't it time to feed her yet! It has been nice to have Korey home more, though. Last night he actualy came home from work- only an hour late- and spent the whole evening at home. It almost felt weird to have him home. :) I think it had been almost a week since he had spent the whole evening with us and even though he spent the evening outside doing yardwork I was just happy to have him there!!
