Haley's First Birthday!

Haley's First Birthday was a success! She had lots of fun and was able to play with a lot of her friends! Since she is a December Baby, Santa offered to show us some of the pictures:

Haloween Festivities 2008

Haloween 2008!
Haley enjoyed her first Haloween....Our friend Lisa Jefferson made her outfit (she is the sewing dominator!)...anyway, the word on the street was that Minnie Mouse made an appearance in Franklin, TN....I think it was just a roumor, I don't know, I will let you decide for yourselves...

Haley Walks!

I know it has been awhile since we posted (again), we are sorry, we have no excuses this time....Anyway, Haley is doing great, she is walking now which has caused us to rearrange our house....oh yeah, and some other good news in case you didn't know, Amber is pregnant!! The due date is in April, so we are excited about that (Haley too). Haley's birthday party is going to be on Dec. 13th this year so everyone can go ahead and mark that on their calendars. Here's some new pictures of Haley for everyone to enjoy....

Haley loves to chase Bella around

This is Haley's Dance...she sits like this and bobs up and down, its awesome!

Mommy teaches her laundry

Daddy teaches her to play with a baseball bat

Pimpin aint easy

She's excited that the vols finally beat a school that somebody has heard of!

Here she is walking to Mommy

Haley is 8 months old!

Well everyone keeps bugging us to update the blog with new pictures of Haley....I know we have been slacking but hey, it just makes it that much more exciting when we put new pictures up. Haley is now 8 months old (she turned 8 months on Aug. 10th), she has been crawling and crusing for the last few months and is working on walking! She pulls up on tables and can stand on her own without holding on to anything....so pretty soon I'm sure Amber will have hurdles set up in the house! She now has 4 teeth and counting and can wave at people and dance! Here are some of the latest pictures:

Here's Haley with Grandma Ayub....I wonder where Haley gets her hair????
Amber's gonna be mad that I put this one on here

Haley after bath time

Just like her mommy, she is always ready to have her picture taken....

She loves the swing

She is a very happy baby, we are pretty lucky!


Here she is getting the bath tub ready for bath time, which happens to be her favorite now since she gets the whole tub and lots of toys.

Eating is her second favorite thing to do....but like her mommy, you better feed her on time or you'll be sorry!

Luckily Bella is a very patient dog....
In July, we took a trip to Southern California to celebrate Jeff's (Brian's brother) 30th birthday. It was Haley's first plane trip and she did great, best of all she got to see her cousins Madison and Makayla...


Mirrors are amazing things......

Here's Haley's first trip to the Beach...Corona del Mar in Southern Cal.

Yes, Haley does have some mexican in her....but not that much...

Here is Granny Gates with all 3 of her granddaughters...

Sorry its been a little while since our last post. Haley is growing like crazy and doing great! She does new things every day. She now rolls over both ways, sits up on her own, smiles and laughs all the time, she also is almost crawling! She is a great baby! As you can see in the picture, her hair is very blonde and getting longer! We love and miss everyone!!
