A little story...

Hadley got her flu shot today. She did so great; didn't even shed a tear! When we got home Hadley was off playing behind the couch. She was pretty quiet so I turned around to check on her. She had taken of her band aid and was eating it! Gross! This girl is just too funny. I love her so much. I'm so grateful I have been blessed with the opportunity to be her mother. She has brought so much joy and excitement into our home!

How can you not LOVE this cute face?

Watching conference with Dad. This was just about the only time
she was quiet during conference. The rest of the time she was playing and screaming!

I had to wake her up from her nap today to go to the doctors.
 I hate doing that! She is just so cute and peaceful!

TEETH

I failed to mention in the previous post that Hadley now has two teeth! This is the best picture I could get.

Hadley and I had a 3 weeks vacation. Drew joined us for the last week. We were able to go the California to visit with the Steffen's and then went to Lake Arrowhead for a family vacation with the McDonald's. We had a great time! Hadley got to see all her aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

Playing with the fan at the parade

"We want you!"

very tired little girl

"Take me out to the ball game"

On Friday at 6 pm Drew called me and said that we should go to the Astros baseball game. I normally am not very spontaneous, but decided it would be fun. I woke Hadley up ( I had already put her to bed) and put her in this cute Astros outfit given to us by a friend at school.  It was pretty fun and Hadley did extremely well. The last hour I had to take her outside to get her to go to sleep, but we were glad we went.
