BATH TIME!

HANNAH'S NEW FAVORITE PAST TIME IS TAKING A BATH. WE HAVE TO SPELL THE WORD OUT SO SHE WON'T UNDERSTAND. IF YOU SAY THE WORD AT ALL SHE RUNS AND TAKES OFF ALL OF HER CLOTHES AND SITS IN THE TUB. YOU CAN'T LEAVE HER ALONE FOR A MINUTE SHE WILL UNDRESS IN A FLASH. ITS NICE TO HAVE A CHILD WHO WANTS TO BE CLEAN BUT WOW, I DON'T THINK THE ENTIRE BATHROOM NEEDS A BATH TOO.

PAPA'S BABIES!!!

HERE IS MY DAD WITH HANNAH, SYD AND COUSIN HAILEY! HE SURE LOVES TO ROCK THE GIRLS NOW THAT BAILEY IS OLDER SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO SNUGGLE AS MUCH. HE IS THE BEST GRANDPA EVER. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HIM. SPOILING THEM ROTTEN IS HIS NEW HOBBY IN LIFE. AMANDA SAYS HE HAS TO WAIT UNTIL HAILEY IS 6MOS. OLD BEFORE HER FIRST ICE CREAM TREAT. I HATE TO TELL YOU BUT TOO LATE SISSY HA HA HANNAH IS ADDICTED TO PAPA SHE HAS TO SEE HIM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IF NOT HE WILL DRIVE ALL THE WAY JUST TO SEE THE KIDS. IF I DON'T CALL WITH AN UPDATE OH MAN. I AM IN FOR IT. I KNEW HE LOVED BEING A FATER BUT A "GRANDPA" IS HIS TRUE CALLING. THANKS DAD FOR LOVING US SO MUCH!!

MY BABY NEICE HAILEY!

AMANDA AND PATRICK HAD THEIR BABY ON JUNE 26, SHE WEIGHED 5LBS 6OZ. THEY NAMED HER HAILEY SUE HALLIGAN. SHE IS A CUTIE. THEY ARE GREAT PARENTS AND ARE ADJUSTING WELL. AMANDA GETS KINDA GRUMPY WITH NO SLEEP THOUGH. PAT HAS HAD PRACTICE WITH HANNAH AND SYD! WE STARTED HIM OUT KINDA EARLY. IF THEY DID NOT SCARE HIM THEN FROM HAVING KIDS THEN HE IS MEANT FOR FATHERHOOD. DO US HAFEN GIRLS HAVE CUTE KIDS OR WHAT!!!!

COWGIRL UP!

HERE IS BAILEY AND HER BEST PAL SMOKEY! SHE LOVES TO RODEO AND RIDE. EVERYTHING SHE DOES IS ALL ABOUT HORSES RATHER IT BE HER CLOTHES, TOYS, BEDDING ETC.... SOMETIMES SHE THINKS SHE IS A HORSE. I DON'T THINK ANY PAIR OF JEANS CAN LAST WITH HER. (HA HA). THIS YEAR SHE HAS DONE EXTREMELY WELL WITH HER RODEO. SHE HAS DRIVE AND DETERMINATION TO EXCEL. A REALLY GREAT QUALITY TO HAVE IN LIFE. SHE IS BORN TO RIDE. GO BAILEY!!!!

OUR KIDDIES!

WE HAD SOME FAMILY PHOTOS TAKEN RECENTLY. I HAVE NEVER REALY REALIZED HOW MUCH THEY LOOK ALIKE. (WOW THOSE ARE SOME VERY STRONG GENES.) CAN YOU GUESS WHO THEY LOOK LIKE? HAVING KIDS IS THE GREATEST GIFT I HAVE EVER RECIEVED. THEY BRING SO MUCH JOY, LOVE, LAUGHTER AND MEANING TO MY LIFE. I LOVE BEING THEIR MAMA!
