Hailey's photoshoot

Hailey is now 5 1/2 months old!

Ethan and Hailey....cousins only six weeks apart :)

Playing with the Jenne's

So this week feels quite a bit slower paced compared to last weekend.  Let's just say it's a little more busy when you have three extra kids running around (okay actually only two, one just sits there and smiles!) Yes-the Jenne's were able to come visit us this past weekend, and we had lots of fun! Jenny (aka 'birdface'-which you are all welcome to use that nickname freely...plus Jenn just loves when you call her that, try it out, it rolls right off the tongue), Sammy, Maddie, and Ethan (little 'E') made the trip to Cedar to play with their favorite aunt, uncle, and cousin-though we all know who the favorite is...ME-okay not me, it's Hailey :) It's okay, she definitely is the cutest!Lets just say there was alot of page coloring, rock painting, park going, wii playing, inflatable fun jumping, playing house, and movie watching going on! Doesn't that sound like a blast?! Oh Birdface and I were even able to get a little sewing time in-sweet! Well we hope that they'll be able to make the trip again sometime soon!!

Hailey's Baby Blessing

This past Sunday, December 4th was a special day, Hailey received her baby blessing.  Wes gave her beautiful blessing, and little Hailey did a great job! She was wide awake-but no crying at all! She wasn't too excited being in that big dress, but she was an angel all day....she was especially excited when she was able to change in to something comfy. :) After some family and friends came over for a little brunch. We are so thankful for everyone that was able to attend and make it for Hailey's special day!!

         

We're so grateful for this precious little girl and all the joy that she brings into our lives!! We love you Hailey!

Thanksgiving Time

We had such an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. The break from work and school was much needed! We started the break by staying at the Hendricks place on Wednesday night. We didn't actually make it up there until about 8:30pm and the boys were already in bed. But we had a great time hanging out with Mis and Kal that evening, they even made us some yummy chicken wings (Wes's absolute favorite!) Thanksgiving morning Wes and Kal went to get some basketball on, we then headed up to my parents house for the Thanksgiving feast...and that's exactly what it was! It was so delicious! It was great being able to spend time with the whole fam (minus Scotty boy-who was definitely missed!), even Jana and the kids were able to come, it was great! After dinner we celebrated Krissy(18), Maddie (3), and Grandma Yorgason's birthday, it was kinda one big day of partying. Friday morning and afternoon Krissy and I spent shopping, we didn't go out early or anything, but it was fun and we still got some pretty sweet deals!  The rest of the break was basically spent, eating, hanging out with family, eating, a little more shopping, and yes...some more eating! We had a great time! We wished we could've stayed a little longer, but we had to get back to real life! :) We're so lucky to have such great families, they have done so much for us, and we're so grateful for that!

Week of fun

This last week has been so much fun. We were able to play with family all week down in St. George! 

Hailey turned two months old :) at her two month checkup she weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz. so she is slowly gaining weight. She also had to get her two month shots :(  She was pretty fussy and not feeling too great the rest of that day and the day after, which was no fun- but then she was back to her normal self! 

Wes turned 26 years old on October 18th, man he's getting old! :) We had fun celebrating his birthday...my parents took us out to the Anasazi Grill which none of us had to been to, it was really neat and way yummy!

 

 While in St. George we did a lot of swimming, shopping, golfing (well my dad, Wes, Kal, and Jake), and eating yummy food (I had to have gained at least ten pounds!) We had fun seeing all the fam! And Hailey just loves all the attention her cousins give her!

ALREADY???

Hailey Louise Mangum is officially one month old....I can't believe it! Time has been flying!  So far we have really been pretty lucky, she is such a good little girl.

 A little about Hailey....LIKES: bath time, her swing, releasing gas (she smiles everytime, so she must like it), her binky, the ceiling fan, cuddling, and her dad singing to her (though he just sings one song over, and over "Don't take the Girl" by Tim McGraw...it's sweet). DISLIKES: getting lotion put on, being left alone, getting her picture taken.  Also, I was very lucky to get that picture, the rest of the other pictures I took looked more like...

But then I just had to pop her binky in:

We love this little girl so much, and are excited for many more months to come!!
