I'm back!

Sorry it has been so long since I updated the blog! Let me catch everyone up. Grandma & Grandpa Vara and Unlce Michael came to visit for two weeks over spring break. Haley had a great time with her grandparents and we went to the museum, butterfly center and the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo during that time. I was at work but Matt reported she really liked the animals at the rodeo but he was getting nervous that she was always trying to get too close to the big cows. She has no fear!
This past week we have just been getting back into our routine. I think Haley is going to be a girly girl. Not sure where she gets that from but she loves purses, shoes and anything that glitters. Grandma Jean bought her some "bling bling" sandles and Haley wants to wear them all the time. Today I took her to the mall and she was helping me push the stroller. Well, that was until she saw the purse display. She got so excited and ran over to it and wanted to pull all the purses down. I pulled her away but next was the shoes. We quickly had to leave Dillards :) At least she knows where Daddy's credit card is too!
She's been trying hard to say new words. This week she said banana, juice, McDonalds. Today is was "mouse" all through the mall when she saw the posters for a new movie coming out with a mouse in them. I didn't even know she knew what a mouse was? Oh, and I can't forget her new favorite body part to say..."boobie". Yep, she points to them and says it....nice. Well, no big plans for this week but everyday is an adventure with our little one.

Enjoy the pictures from the last 3 weeks.

My face after a peanut butter and jelly sandwich....who wants a kiss?


Trying on Mom's shoes...what fun. Later in the week I found her high heels

Checking out the rodeo in my boots!

Helping mom "prune" the flowers before she even had a chance to plant them. I kept taking them out of the pot and putting them on the other side of the deck. Carrying the flowers is much more fun then planting them.

Last Sunday we went to take pictures in the bluebonnets in Montgomery.

I'm so silly

Haley's New Class

Yesterday I saw first hand how crazy some parents are for their kids! We decided to register Haley for day class at a church between my mom's house and ours. I had heard it was hard to get your kids in and they only had 3 spots for Haley's age so get there early. Registration started at 8am on Tuesday so I thought I was early showing up at 6:00am, which for me is REALLY early to be somewhere. Anyways, I walked in and was #24 on the list!! Some CRAZY people started camping at 6pm the night before!!! I love my child but I don't see how any school is worth that. Turns out 6am was fine for us as Haley got a spot. It wasn't the days we wanted but that's ok and we are waitlisted for the other days. So starting in the fall Haley will go to class 2 days a week from 9-2. It will be good for her to get around other kids so we can't wait to see how she does. I guess that was my introduction to crazy parents and I'm sure more will come.

Also yesterday was Matt's birthday but as luck would have it, he ended up coming home from work sick. He feels a little better today so hopefully we'll get his birthday celebration in soon. Other then that, life has been busy and fun. Haley has been blabbering away and every once in awhile you can actually understand what she is saying. Today she went to Weight Watchers with Grandma, I know...what an experience!...,and she talked the entire time. Oops....good thing she is cute so not too many people cared I was told. Enjoy some of the catch up pictures.

Throwing gang signs already???



Pushing her baby in the baby stroller. This was supossed to stay at Grandma's but Haley wouldn't get in the car without it and even cried the ENTIRE way home since she couldn't push it while in her car seat. After she went to bed I had to hide it in the trunk in order to get it back to Grandma's without the same sceeen. All for a baby doll stroller!
