Newport Dunes

On Saturday we went down to Newport Dunes for their movies on the beach. We went with my family and another family from our ward. We took a picnic dinner and the movie they showed was Ratatouille. Hailey loved it! We've been wanting to go for a couple of years, so it was finally nice to get down there. We had a lot of fun but I forgot my camera. So you get the picture from their site.

I would definitely recommend it. It's 10 bucks for the whole car load but this weekend coming up is the last one until next summer.

Permanent Marker-ed!

Hailey is 17 months. Our church starts at nine. Lets just say we aren't always on time for church. Last Sunday we were all ready for church and it was looking like we might be on time. I should have known better. I looked away for just 2 mins, (which I discover more and more is an eternity in baby years) and I hear this evil laugh. I look up and what do I see? Hailey has climbed up on the kitchen table and found the permanent marker that someone left out. Before I can stop her, the whole front of her white shirt is covered. (It is in the wash getting bleached as we speak, cross your fingers for us.) It was one of my favorites. :( I then frantically went looking for a clean dress, luckily she has had a recent growth spurt, so she fit into one she had never worn. The benefit to you is that the new dress looked so cute on her that I decided to post pictures. I have also included some random pictures of our adventures from the past week.

My cousin Rach picked it out, she has great taste.

Hailey's new favorite thing to do is get as close to the camera as possible.

Rocking the sing star mic.

This T-rex is in a library, probablly the coolest library ever.

She apparently loves ATVS.
As for the rest of our travels this summer, those will have to wait... until I finally get around to it OR worms have ears. Soon, I promise.

Sad Day!

Recently I found out they are remaking one of my favorite 80's movies, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." As if this news wasn't bad enough on it's own, it is also going to be staring Miley Cyrus. I am now in a state of mourning. Just in case you have never seen the original one in all it's glory and as a tribute to it's awesomeness, I have found you this clip.

Now go watch the movie and your life will be complete.

17 Months!

I know I'm a slacker, it's been a crazy month though. Things have finally settled down (more or less) because Alex is back to work. We have been all over the place this month. And I will try to blog about it sometime.

Hailey now has enough hair that she actually has curls in the back. It's pretty darn cute and I no longer feel like she will always be a baldy. :D She has started to talk non stop. She gestures and uses enough real words to make it clear that she thinks she is saying sentences. She knows tons of words and has started to use ones that we have not specifically taught her but she has picked up from us talking. She also is doing short, "sentences." "Let's go," "more _____," "come on," and several others. I've trying to get video of her talking and gesturing because it is hilarious but when she sees the camera, she stops and smiles. She follows instructions, (except no) and always does the "victory dance" when she has done something she is proud of. She loves to dance, sing, read, play in water, jump on things, and learn new things. She does not like to be told no, get dirty, cuddle, or stay up late. (she is her father's daughter) She grows so much each day that it amazes me.
