Summer Lovin'

Summer has finally arrived, and we are lovin' it! We have been taking advantage of it by spending all our time on vacations, at the pool, going on walks and just relaxing! Hailey is 9 months now and just gets taller, learns more and becomes more creative every day. This is just a glimpse of our summer so far...

• Vacation to Carlsbad, California
• Visited Seaworld
• Went to San Diego Zoo
• Hailey went swimming for the first time
• Hailey has had 5 teeth come in so far...
• Went to St. George
• Went to Tuacahn and saw Little Mermaid, amazing! Best I've seen!
• Vacation to Lake Powell
• Hailey went boating
• Hailey started crawling
• Hailey began crawling up stairs
• Hailey started climbing out of crib:-(
• Hailey began pulling herself standing
• Hailey started trying to take steps

As you can see most of our summer has been about Hailey:-) But we couldn't be happier than to have her in our lives. This has been the best summer we could have asked for! Thanks to our families to bringing us along so we could have some fun vacations this summer!

Hailey helping Mommy do the laundry; what a good helper:-)

All packed and ready for vacation! Now I wonder if the suitcase will close...

Hailey's first airplane ride! She loved it! No crying at all!

Trying on her princess hats

Hailey enjoying the beach and ocean for the first time! Notice her "flamingo" stance, she hates the sand on her toes:-)

Enjoying the swimming pool and of course, tanning with Mommy, Meg and Jess!

Hailey enjoyed most of Seaworld by napping:-) She did love to see Shamu's show.

LOVED San Diego Zoo! Hailey did too, in almost every picture she is turned facing the animals instead of looking at the camera.

First ponytail!

Hailey loves to swim! She even puts her face in the water and tries to blow bubbles:-)

Ty and I took pictures at these same places in St. George when we were engaged, now 4 years later, here we are with our daughter!

Yea for Lake Powell! My favorite place to vacation!

Hailey loves boating! She just wanted to stand and look at the water all day!

Hailey enjoying the boat ride with Grandma and Chels!

Hailey is using her Uncle Josh's hat until he gets home from his mission next spring!

My very handsome hunk of a hubby showing off his jumping skills on the wakeboard! I'm so proud of you honey! He is trying to get in lots of practice so he and Josh can have a competition next year!

We sure are lovin' summer!
