Fun pictures

My baby girl is turning 2 tomorrow!!! I can't believe it! I'm amazed by how much she can do and say now and how fast she learns. Lately, every time we go to the car, she says "Seat!" "Belt!" and "Safe!" to let us know that she's excited about her carseat and needs to put on her seatbelt to be safe :)

Haley is so excited to be saying her prayers before her nap...check out the video - too cute! Family picture!

Haley loves to wear her blankie as a cape...

A little reunion with some of my sorority sisters...

Haley checking on my friend Laura's baby Lily...

Meeting Ian

Haley and I took a little trip last week to go visit my friend Allison and her new baby Ian. Haley was an instant fan, too much so because she wouldn't stop checking on him while he napped! He is so adorable! Not a very successful naptime with Haley nearby...

Haley called him "In" and wanted to make sure that he kept on bouncing...

Fun times in January

Such a cute smile with Daddy! Playing with Mommy...

Haley loves my goggles & swim cap!

An ice cream scooper that yells "Ice cream!" Guess how many times we heard that one?!

Reading a pop-up book from cousins Jeff & Tanya...

Haley helping me make french toast - she loves her apron!

Last weekend we had a fun family lunch at Amici's - yum! Haley is all smiles when she sees Momo!

Fun for the Huskers game

We headed up to Fort Collins to meet my Grandma Pearl, Aunt Jan, Uncle Brad, Aunt Diane and cousins Danielle, Megan, Justin and Kyla to watch the Nebraska Huskers game. We had so much fun catching up that it was hard to pay attention to the game!

Haley loves pictures so much - now she's starting to try to take them herself! Grandma with her grandchildren and great grandchild :) I can't believe how tall Justin is!

THE Nebraska fans! I love hanging out with this family!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house this year. Here is a picture of everyone except Haley (she had already headed off to bed)...
Just the three of us :)
Haley loves her bike from Aunt Nana and Uncle Matt - it sings songs, honks and even blows bubbles!
Dancing with her aunt and uncle - so much fun!
