Solar Eclipse

As many of you might know we had the ability to see the most recent Solar Eclipse. Bert was so excited so he not only got the filter off of his welding helmet but he insisted that I participate in viewing it. Thus he took my picture as proof, he is so funny. Anyways below are some of the pictures he took thru the filter!

Prescott

Just for fun we decided to drive up to Prescott for a little adventure. We walked in and out of the Antique shops and just enjoyed the day together. Hayley wanted to be held when we got there as she was stuck in her chair for the last hour and a half. 

Hayley and I walking towards the shops!

There was this really good restaurant called "The Office," they had lots of different options. I had a Green Chili Pot Pie, and Bert had a Buffalo Chicken wrap. Both were really delicious, and they season their french fries with garlic and Cilantro two of my favorite things!

This is an old Permanent machine, I had Bert take a machine because Grandma Bertha had told me about it so I wanted to show her! "Viv if you wouldn't mind doing so!"

This was just before we were going to head back home. It was an awesome day!

Mother's Day

My First Mothers Day!

We didn't do anything for Mother's Day but spend time together at home. We had to take pictures to remember the day however. It was an amazing First Mother's Day!

Hayley 8 Months

Hayley is 8 Months I cannot believe it! 

I do not know her exact weight but I believe it is around 18+ pounds. She has a strong personality, she knows what she likes and doesn't like. When she wants something she starts this horrible "I'm heart broken" cry! We are working on breaking her of that.  As of right now she still only has two teeth, but we think some are starting their way down on the top so we will see. She loves her pacifiers, and her favorite toy is the Fisher Price rings. She loves pulling everything out of her toy bucket over and over again.

She has accomplished a lot in the last month!

On April 9th she sat herself up, from the belly position. She worked with this method for about a week and a half before she finally decided to give crawling a try. She crawled for the first time Friday April 20th, we are excited for her but now we have to really keep track of where she is and what she is doing. Being that she has only been crawling for 2 weeks she can really move! She has also started feeding herself, she enjoys french fries, bread, crackers, and Gerber puffs. She is full of happiness, starting tomorrow her and I will be spending everyday together until August when I go back to school. 

Random Photos

For whatever reason she held her left leg up for a long while, it was so cute!

These are just some random pictures we took of Hayley in the backyard. She was just so happy, and cute we thought it would be a great time to get some pictures of her. We aren't exactly sure how her legs ended up like this, but she was practically doing the splits!

Liane and Paul's Reception

Hayley and Caleb were finally able to play. Caleb is the son of Heather who is like a sister to us, he was born about a month before Hayley. They were so cute together and we are definitely going to get them together again so they can get to know each other as they grow up, and they can be best friends!

Hayley's First Easter

Bert took Hayley to see the Easter Bunny, and after many attempts this was the best picture! 

We were really amazed how well she did, she wasn't really sure about this big furry thing holding her but did it anyways!  Mom bought the beautiful yellow dress for Easter, I still can't believe how good it looks on her. She just looks so adorable!

I love this picture of her with her little white shoes.

This last one is my absolute favorite!
