She's a biker girl

I forgot to mention Haylee has experienced her first bike ride. She has learned that if she holds her feet up she can go faster rather than if her feet are dragging while I push her. So if you choose to drop by in the next couple of days I will probably be pushing this little one all over the house.



The last few weeks

Here is what we have done for the last couple of weeks, Haylee and I at the Pittsburgh steelers training camp

The head coach giving Ben R. the quarterback some pointers

More of the training camp, which was so fun by the way. It inspired Weston that he wants to start playing football again. Look for him on next year's roster


Haylee now loves to empty out her toy baskets and sit in them

Haylee has learned some new tricks as of late. She waves at the sound of anyone saying hi or bye. She loves to clap and give high fives and now she opens her mouth and says ah when you ask her to. We are working on blowing kisses.

My friend Kara was invited to sing in a karoke competition so Erin and I decided to make t-shirts and go cheer her on. There was one problem though. We started making our t-shirts too late and missed the competition. But Kara knows we were supporting her by our cool shirts we made!! ps. The song she sang was called criminal hence the saying on the shirt


And I picked up a paint brush and whirled up some artwork for our bedroom. I have no artistic ability whatsoever but it was kind of fun painting I have to admit.

Happy 9 month birthday!!

Today my sweet baby girl is 9 months old. I can't believe it!



She is holding her favorite thing, the remote control. It's also Weston's favorite thing so sometimes we have a battle. Haylee usually wins.

Kirtland

It was a perfect day in Kirtland and the temple was beautiful



Standing in front of the temple


Me and my favorite little girl in front of the temple



This is Joseph Smith's office in the Whitney store (the church headquarters during this time period) and this table was the original table in his office. This is the table where he received revelation for 16 sections of the Doctrine and Covenants.




We had a wonderful Sunday afternoon in Kirtland, Oh. It's just a short two hour drive from where we are living right now and it was so great to see some sites from church history. We had a really good time and it was so neat to hear some of the stories and events that took place in Kirtland. It's always amazing for me to hear what the early saints went through and how strong they were. It's always a testimony building experience to be standing in the same spots as these faithful saints. We loved it!!
