Mothers Beach

I don't know how I have lived here for something like 7 years and never known about this place. I Guess I can attribute the first 6 1/2 yrs to the fact that I was not a mother yet!

As you can see Hailey is loving California Summers so far! This week alone she as been to the beach 3 times and it's only Thursday!

You bet ya I bought my baby an "itsy, bitsy, tiny, weeny, yellow polka dot bikini"!

Hailey and her best bud Dallin

Here are Hailey's "older" friends

You know it's time to call it quits when you start nuzzling into the sand! Sweet dreams baby Dallin

This was taken on Tues, Haileys first visit to Mom's beach!

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)

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!

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.
