What a great first month. I can't believe Hayley has been with us a whole month already. I will admit the first few weeks were pretty hard. I can say that we have both adjusted to our new lifestyles pretty good so far. I know we still have some growing left to do but I'm so grateful for all the help we have had so far. With Mom staying to help, casual week day visits from family and weekend help from Skyler's parents, meals from ladies in the ward and lots of hand-me-down's- the list goes on. What I want to say is- Thanks. We really couldn't have gotten this great of a start with Hayley if it weren't from all of you.

We recently had a family "Welcoming Shower" for Hayley. The weather was great, lots of family came, we enjoyed yummy BBQ and brownie sundaes, and played fun games. Did I mention Hayley got lots of cute clothes to grow in to (and out of :) ) and toys! I couldn't believe my eyes, all the little nieces and nephew, are getting so big!! Running around, seems like yesterday it was me and my cousins running around.

Celebrating Memorial Day weekend, we took a visit to Skyler's brother's house in Richland. Enjoying a beautiful drive there and back through the Gorge, we played Bocce Ball, ate great BBQ, and enjoyed the squeals from their triplets.

One more small nugget of gossip: On Memorial Day Hayley experienced her first real tears! I always thought it interesting that baby's "cry" so much but no actual tears come out. Hence the confusion with "No tears baby soap" since they don't really have tears anyway. . .

Today we also had our first much anticipated ride in the stroller. Which Ben and Jodi were so kind in letting us use. I was so excited I lugged it out of the trunk and put the wheels on myself! I strapped her in and out we went! Happy to say it rolls like a Royce.
Now that we're back, we're looking forward to moving (just a few miles away), blessing Hayley and Skyler graduating!!
