*HAPPY*BIRTHDAY*HAILEY*

Yes...our little Hay Bug turned ONE!! We celebrated Hailey's birthday Saturday August 18th, even though her actual birthday was on August 15th, but since Hailey and I were out of town that day, we waited to celebrate it till we were home!! Grandma and Grandpa 'Cookie' (Friel) even made a special trip down for the event. They took us out to Chili's for a yummy dinner. Then Grandma and Grandpa Mangum and Aunt Jamie joined us back at our house for presents, cake, and ice cream :) Even though I'm pretty sure I was more excited and had more fun than she did, I'm sure she had a blast! haha! She received so many nice and fun gifts!

Gifts she received: From the Jenne's she got a little tricycle and a sweet thermos (she has never been big on sippy cups, but she LOVES her new thermos!--trust me it's sweet, if you didn't have one, and you saw it, you'd wish you had one), A fun musical toy that she can play with that lights up from the Hendricks fam, an adorable party dress and matching shoes (as seen in the pictures!) from Aunt Katie, a cute outfit and Big Bird stacking rings from Great Grandma and Grandpa Yorgason, an adorable talking/singing rocking horse, a musical birthday book, and two outfits from Grandma and Grandpa 'Cookie', Jamie and Jason gave her a cute Minnie the Mouse train that she can push and ride on that also talks/sings/plays music, a really cute outfit from her Aunt Kelly, from Grandma and Grandpa Mangum a talking/ toy cell phone (she has an addiction with cell phones), and another cute outfit, and a magnetic Leap Frop ABC's musical toy, foam princess puzzle, an outfit, and a small play tent and crawl-thru tunnel from us. Yes, she got plenty spoiled from everyone! And between all the musical/singing/talking toys...it can get a little noisy sometimes :) But she has loved playing with all her new toys, and I love putting her in all her new adorable outfits!

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you everyone for making Hailey's day so special! Love you!

 

 

Our trip up north....

About a week ago, Hailey and I were up north for a couple of weeks. We came up to help watch Jenn's kids while she and Jake were dinking around in London:) We had lots of fun! Hailey seriously loved running around with her five cousins all week! We stayed at the Hendricks house for a couple of day, and Grandma Friels for a few. We got to go swimming (of course), Trafalga (even though it's not really called that anymore, and I can never remember what it is now), got in Grandpa's hot tub, went to a splash pad a couple of times, I got to hang with Katie-one of my besties-and got to check out City Creek for the first time..and may have done a  little shopping :) all in all, it was a great trip! Even though we had tons of fun, by the end of the two weeks we were ready to get home again and see our hubby/daddy.

Playing at Trafalga...yes I know I look HUGE in that thing!

WE LOVE S.U.M.M.E.R.T.I.M.E!!!

SO yes, it has been a little while since the last post, okay so like five months....guess I've been a slacking a bit. BUT no more! So far summer has been AWESOME and lots of FUN. Wes would probably agree if he didn't have to make money and work :( haha, but someone has to! Love you honey! Anywho, we started off the summer just right by going on a cruise in May. We went to the Bahamas....and boy was it was basically the sweetest vaca I've ever been on!! We're grateful for my awesome parents for taking us, it was SOOO fun and we all had a blast!! We got to go rock climbing, take a ride on the Screamin' Eagle (a crazy wild speed boat ride, that yes, had me screaming), enjoy a bus tour of St. Thomas, zipline across the cruise boat, watch tons of amazing shows, boogie board on a flowrider, snorkel in St. Marteen...just to name a few :)

Later in May my baby sis graduated high school....boy does that make me feel OLD! It was great, we were able to go to her graduation and we had a big family BBQ for her that night. Hailey and I were able to spend about a week and a half up there with all the fam! We did a lot of swimming at the Lindon pool (which is a pretty sweet pool), went to Seven Peaks, and just played!

Krissy aka "Boo" just after graduation :)

 I was even able to sneek in a little time to see my Snow College roomies!! :)

Then, in the beginning of June, Krissy was able to come down and visit for a few days. And we LOVE having company! It was fun (of course), we went to the lake here, and down to Sandhollow for a day-and did a little cliff jumping!

Wes did come to Sandhollow with us-apparently he just didn't make it into any of the pics....

After that, and lucky for us, Jenn, Sammy, Maddie, and Ethan were able to come down for a few days to visit and play too!! Like I said, we LOVE company!!!

And last but not least, last Saturday we went on the Kanarraville Falls Hike with the Mangum/Dalton gang. It was awesome...and a good workout!!!

So far we have had a great summer! And can't wait to do more fun stuff....and maybe just relax a little :)
