hadley's first birthday

the only thing i have to say is that i might possibly be the world's worst mother! when i went to collect all of hads' birthday pictures and videos to post, i was extremely disheartened to find NOTHING. like seriously. nothing. on the entire computer. i have no idea what happened. the only chance i have is sarah......she was taking pics the whole time and so i'm hoping she's got something, anything really. we did have a great time eating pizza and watching hadley daintly bite into her cake. agh...i'm so mad i cannot find those pictures. i will see what i can do and post whatever i can muster up. in the meantime, we shall skip that highly significant and milestone-of-an-event and move to easter. which is sad to think that she's big enough to not have any more 1st's of anything. my baby's getting tooo big!

priceless













*thanks to suzie yet again for capturing these priceless moments i'll cherish forever!*

hadley's first christmas!

for christmas last year we were able to go to wyoming and spend time with my family! we don't get to see them very often so when we do we truly cherish every moment. hads enjoyed spending time with her grandparents and great-grandparents.....and especially loved all the attention she got from uncle ryan and uncle ty!

























this animal choo-choo train was hadley's present from santa this year! it was fun to watch her "chase" after it since she was just learning how to crawl.

'tis the season

christmas is my favorite holiday! it was so fun to have hadley begin to be a little more involved in and aware of her surroundings! she loved sitting with rudolph and clarice watching their movie. she loved reading her christmas books that were bigger than she was. she loved trying to reach the ornaments on the lowest branches. and most of all she loved the few nights we slept out under the tree. here are a few glimpses into what our holiday season was all about.







you better watch out!

hadley was lucky enough to get to meet santa TWO times before christmas last year! santa came to our church christmas party and to our cousin lizzie's christmas dance recital! the look she gave him was priceless.....
