Haley Takes her first trip to the Zoo and sees snow for the First time

Don't tell her, but Haley's life has been pretty eventful so far. In case you don't already know, we just moved from Nashville to Franklin (about 6-7 miles south) about a month ago, and I think Haley likes our new house. She has also got to experience the weird Nashville weather. Three weeks ago the weather was in the mid '70s, a week later it was snowing and this past week we had so much rain that a lot of the creeks were flooding. This weekend its supposed to be in the '60s and sunny for Haley's first easter egg hunt. I wonder if she will find anything????
...Then again, she'll probably just sleep through it


Here she is with her cousin Brianna at the Nashville Zoo

Mommy and Haley had a tough day at the zoo, they had to sleep it off!

Haley is starting to grab things a lot more, she likes using her hands. We also think she is teething bucause she is biting everything and blowing bubbles.

Here she is with her Aunt Jennifer

This is our back yard a couple of weeks ago when it snowed. Haley is on Bella's back

Here's the front of our house after it snowed


This was a couple of days before it snowed...warm enough to take a walk...This is Al Gore's problem, he lives in Nashville, the weather is so crazy, it must be global warming!
Here's our little mouse at the zoo with Mommy


This is her pink bear outfit that she wore outside in the snow.

Haley Meets Cousin Maddie and Makayla!

Haley's cousins Madison and Makayla flew across the Country from Orange County California with their parents Jeff (Brian's Brother) and Jen to see their new cousin Haley. It was a great visit! They were here from a Thursday through a Monday and we had all kinds of fun in and around Nashville. We apologize for taking a little while to post on the blog, we recently moved and rented out or townhouse, so needless to say we have been a little busy. Here are some pictures of the visit and some new Haley pics mixed in!

Haley is just like her daddy, she loves her naps


I told her a corny joke and this is the face she made
