The Monster Has Teeth

Hailey is falling in the footsteps of her father and is slow getting her teeth but two of them are finally here (the second one just barely). The two are the bottom front which we hear are generally the first two.

We attached a little video of dinner time with the monster. She is quite the little connoisseur of mashed up food and I guess this dinner didn't pass inspection.

Hailey's Hair-Do's!

Yesterday for the first time ever Hailey got her first pony tail. Today we tried pigtails. I can't wait for her hair to get a little longer!

Boating at Lake Pleasant

This Saturday we had so much fun boating with the Conns! They have an awesome boat for the winter, and it was 90 degrees on Saturday, so it was perfect! The water was a little cold, but once you got in it wasn't too bad. I was surprised I was actually able to get up on the wakeboard, and Alex took Hailey on the tube for a few minutes. Hailey enjoyed the boat, but within the first 1/2 hour she got motion sickness and threw up all over her towel! Poor girl :( But she felt much better after that and enjoyed the rest of the day and took a nap in Dad's arms. We had so much fun and hope we can make some more trips. Thanks Cassandra and Jesse!

Trunk or Treat

Saturday was our ward "Trunk or Treat". Hailey was a BYU cheerleader, I was her #1 fan, and Alex was a factory worker/verizon guy/Bear's Boss. It was a lot of fun :)

The Mysteries of the Pink Toes

Hailey has had quite the adventures lately while staying home with Dad. Here are a few examples :)

Hailey is Mobile!

Right when Hailey turned 7 months old she decided to crawl! We are really excited and she is doing great. Although it is quite wierd when you leave the room, and you turn around and she has followed you. No more private time when she is awake :) Here's a video of her crawling. She usually goes further, but got excited when the camera came on.

Trip to Utah

Nothing reminds that you live in Arizona like a 40-degree rainstorm! That was the weather when we left Salt Lake on Saturday, and returned to 85-degree Phoenix. The rainstorm was actually quite a fun break from the intense heat we have been experiencing.

Alex did a great job recruiting at BYU and we got to see a lot of family and friends including Grandma Hassell, Grandma and Grandpa Priest, Bryce, Uncle Jeff's Family, Cara, Steve, Michelle, Allie, Kate, Carol and Brady, the Hudsons, the Jones', the Beck's, and Moehle! I had a fun time showing my brother Bryce some of the classics of Provo (BYU Creamery, Cafe Rio, and Bridal Veils Falls). Here's a few pictures from our trip.
