March Madness

In the wake of the Cougar loss, the monster tore off her shirt and hopped on the Marquette bandwagon, home of Little Timmy and Aunt Anna (Shirt courtesy of the Milwaukee Kraft's).

Toddling

Alex and I are very proud parents of our newest walker!

The monster is coming to gobble you up

Dive Bomber

The other day Hailey kept trying to dive out of my arms, and I couldn't understand what she was doing and why she had no fear. Then I witnessed play time with Dad, and things became much more clear...

Also, here's a cute picture of Hailey showing off all her teeth. She now has 6 and two more are coming in on the bottom!

Hailey's First Birthday!

Yesterday was Hailey's birthday. We can't believe she is already 1 year old! She is getting to be such a big girl and growing up so fast. We had a nice day together and in the evening she had fun opening her presents and reading her books and playing with her new blocks with Alex. She hated wearing her birthday hat though, and would immediately take it off and try to put in on my head. I think we waited a little too long to give her cake, because she was so tired she wouldn't even eat it. She mushed it between her fingers for a little bit, then just tried to throw it off her high chair. Luckily we caught it before it was all over the floor :) Here's some pictures below from her big day!

Playing in the Park

Hailey and I have been enjoying the great spring weather here in Arizona and going to the park a lot lately. Hailey had her first experience in a swing this past week, and loved it! Here's a few pictures of her at the park.

Home of the Buckeyes

This past weekend we went to Columbus, Ohio for Reza and Christy's wedding. I couldn't believe how Ohio State paraphanelia was everywhere! It seemed like everybody was wearing red, and you could buy Ohio State anything. The campus was really cool, but it was sooo cold (12 degrees with crazy wind) I didn't dare go outside. Here's a picture of the brave guys in front of the stadium.

The wedding was really great. And we were happy to spend time with Alex's parents as well. Hailey loves the attention from Grandma and Grandpa. Here's a picture of Hailey and I before the wedding, and our group of friends at the wedding, and of course the happy couple :)




One lesson we did learn from the trip, was to not fly on award travel with United. Alex got stuck for 3 extra hours in DC on the way there, and almost 2 extra hours in Denver on the way back. And the poor guy even had Hailey with him the whole time. However, Hailey is a bit more of a daddy's girl now :)

Hailey's Super Tuesday

Hailey was a big hit at the polls with her "Vote for Mitt" onsie and voting sticker. Unfortunately, even with all her persuasion yesterday, McCain won the delegates for Arizona and not Romney. We had to make two trips to vote yesterday, since the first time somebody had pulled the fire alarm and everybody had to evacuate the building and the fire department came.
