Baby BBQ

As you know I am married to a social butterfly (aka: Ammon) who loves to throw parties. In the spirit of true summer time fun, we had a small little BBQ at our house. After reviewing my photos, I realized maybe I should take photos of more then just the babies. They're just so darn cute, I can't help myself!
This blog is for all those cute baby's out there who love BBQ's as much as I do!

Hailey is loving the exploration of new flavors!

Halloween has come a few months early for Merrick. As you can see an avid fan of Buzz light-year

Hailey's true love, Dallin

Someone has learned to work the camera

Corbin and Dallin dukeing it out for Hailey's affection. (the winner is still up in the air)

Hailey had the best view from her Ducky bath tub that doubles as a play pin!

The Ducky instantly become the most desirable of all toys!

The Standoff begins. Who's it going to be? In one corner we have Berkleigh at 27lbs, Merrick at 25lbs and last but not least little Addison at a whopping 18lbs (these stats are 100% inaccurate and a complete guestimation)

Notice how the dads feel no need to step in, in order to prevent any injuring!
And the winner is . . . Berkleigh!

Reason number 57 why Summer time is the best!!
(I just realized why I've never seen photo of my parents when I was growing up)

Hailey's First Road Trip

Puppy Love

Hailey and Phebe had their first play date today! If you ask me it went fabulously!

If this doesn't sell Ammon on a Puppy I don't know what will!

Daddy Come Home!

On Fathers Day Ammon had to fly out to Dallas for work. As he was was packing this is what I came across . . .

It's amazing how Hailey has found her own way to communicate! We have a child prodagy on our hands!

Good news for Hailey and I, the weather was great and we found all kinds of ways to pass the time away while Daddy was gone!


We are so glad to have him back home!

To My Daddy who I love so much!

This one is for you!

Happy Daddy's Day!

How could you be upset with a face like this!

I have been sick all week, while trying to teach "Miss you know who" how to sleep. It's been a rough one, but this makes it all worth it!

Better Late then Never!

As a new mom, your first child might have the unfortunate position as the ginny pig. Mistakes will be made, but good news is they are too young to ever remember. After hitting rock bottom from sleep deprivation this weekend, I gave in and pulled out all my trusty baby books and felt it was time for some MAJOR sleep training! After the first page, I realized this is something I should have started at week 6 not 6 months later, but better late then never Right! We are on day 2 and I have to admit I do see some progress on this whole "self-soothing" idea. She just went down for her nap (awake) and there was not one tear! As you can see Hailey finds great comfort in her puppy during this traumatic transition.

I love my family!!!

We just got back from our second Glade family reunion in Destin Florida and Hailey REALLY misses all the attention she got for the week! Although the weather report said thunderstorms 100% of the time, we managed to have clear blue skys 6 out of 7 days!!! According to Grandpa Tom, he had a chat with the rain our first day there and told it to get lost!! Nice work Dad!
Miss yall already!!


Our amazing beach house!

See Yall next year, Same time, Same place

Playing Catch-Up

I'd like to say that this week has been busy and there has been no time to update the blog, but that would be a lie. Now that I am officially unemployed life has slowed down a little bit. Here's a few highlights from the week!
My Pretty Princess!





Hailey had her first play date with her older friend Reese. It was so fun playing with toys, giving hugs and watching movies!

My First Mom's Day. Ammon and Hailey made me my favorite breakfast. MM good.
