Hayley-isms

It was a busy day, we picked berries this morning with Marie and Ellie, then had a picnic.
Stopped and got ice on the way home. Made a batch of raspberry ice cream, a batch of strawberry/lemon sorbet and two batches of raspberry jam. Then I sorted through the freezer to make room for the new goodies, finding some pierogis to have for dinner.

She likes to share..

handfuls of dirt!

All in one meal

Needless to say, she was pretty excited about her new carseat.

oh yeah, moving in 1 month!
WSU here we come!

Strawberry Head

In the last couple of weeks we had the opportunity to go pick strawberries at Columbia Farms on Sauvie Island. We went on a whim, and got to the farm just in time to pick a flat of berries.
I named this posting Strawberry Head because Hayley would gladly eat strawberries and lot's of 'em for every meal if you let her, she went crazy when she saw all of them and instantly insisted she have some.

We are so lucky that we have been able to visit the Zoo two times in one month, and two different zoos: Point Defiance and the Oregon Zoo. Over Memorial Day weekend we visited my parents for a few days and then Skyler's family for a few days, which is when we went to Point Defiance in Tacoma. Hayley was pretty afraid of the Walrus. She absolutely LOVED the Monkeys. Pretty much begging to be in the cage with them. And at some points in her life thus far, she would have fit right in.

Hayley getting lots of loves and attention from her cute little cousins, Kylee and Ashlyn.

Last week we ventured to Pullman, WA. It was a quick trip, much of the time spent in the car checking out our new surroundings we will call home, next month!

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Hayley's 1st Birthday with a bash!

Hayley was more into the tissue paper, but that's ok,
her cousins made sure the gifts got opened ;)

It was tricky but we got almost all the kids in one photo,
except Kylee (she escaped moments before!)

Posing for the camera much?

Hayley's first experience with patio dining, at Mother's Bistro!

By one year, she has already made her career choice.
