Here is my little goblin in one of her Halloween PJ's. Don't mind the horrible lighting. It was right before bed last night that I snapped this.

This year was more fun than last year. Not cause she really GOT what Halloween is, but because she could walk and talk a little bit and actually participate and have fun.

The weekend before Halloween, we stopped at a local pumpkin patch and she helped us pick out her pumpkin.

Being the great Daddy that Wayne is, he got on the floor with her and "helped" her carve her pumpkin.

She didn't know what to think about the messiness of the pumpkin and after about 5 minutes of trying to help take out the guts, she was NOT interested anymore. Such is life with a toddler, right?

Hailey was a cupcake for Halloween. I found the costume at Old Navy. You never know the weather in Minnesota, so it was perfect for the chilly October night. First we stopped at our next door neighbors, then we went to Grandma Kimmy's house and then we went to Grandma Karla and Papa's house to visit.

So busy, but she loved saying "Trick or Treat" and was such a ham. She thought it was so cool that there was candy in her pumpkin.

It was a great night seeing everyone and I look forward to so many more with her!

I was so excited that LMFAO was in town. My 2 sisters and my friend Jenny a/k/a Lemonhead and I went and had a blast.

My awesome Hubby contacted the record label dude and we got to meet them and then got floor VIP tickets.

It was such a fun night!!!

Since my Mom watched Hailey for me so I could take my sisters to the concert, I ended up spending the night there. I got to bed late, but slept in until noon. (Thanks Ma for watching the Babe for me.) I can't even remember the last time I slept that late. It was much needed. It was a gross day out so we did a bit of shopping, but other than that it was low key.

We had our cousin, Veronika's, 16th family birthday party to attend. It's always fun to see them, catch up and eat some amazing food.

Happy Birthday Veronika!

Later that night we had a wedding reception to attend. After we dropped Hailey off at my parents again for an overnight, we headed out to Myth Nightclub where the reception was being held. We had some great food and hung out with some awesome friends.

Ben & Jen got married in Mexico at the beginning of May and then had a reception for family and friends later.

Congrats Ben & Jen! We wish you a lifetime of happiness.

It was Memorial Day Monday and I had 2 photo-shoots in the morning and then we had plans to go to the Como Zoo in the afternoon. The parking was horrible and it was so hot out. We only stayed for a bit, but had fun anyways. I didn't take many pictures, because to be honest Hailey could have cared less if we were there or not. Here is one though on our way into the park.

And of course one of me and my lovey at the zoo, too!

Friday evening was spent with Hailey hanging out and doing a little cleaning. It was a very chill night.

Saturday, May 12, 2012

It was a super nice day. My Mom and sisters came over so I could go photograph a small wedding in the afternoon. I finally installed Hailey's new car-seat later in the day. Wayne didn't have his gig that night, so we actually got to hang out as a family. It was great!

Sunday, May 13, 2012

We had plans to have brunch with our Mom's and siblings at noon. We went to The Park Tavern. They have a great brunch and then you get an hour of free bowling with it. We ended up bowling 2 games after we ate.

My little family.

After bowling with the fam, we ordered take-out from Big Bowl for dinner and had a quiet night at home.

It was a most perfect First Mother's Day!!! I'm so excited to celebrate many more to come!

Hope yours was great, too!

I left work and met Wayne at home. We had plans to take Hailey to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. I was nervous we would have to stand in a long line with waiting until the Friday before Easter, but we didn't at all. We got right in, sat her down, she smiled a big one, the photographer snapped and then away we were. She did so great and gave THE biggest smile with no tears or sign of fear one bit.

Next year might be a different story.

From the mall Wayne went home because he had to get ready to head out for the night. I went to my parents house for the first bonfire of the year.

I ended up staying way too late. I got home and got to bed way past my bedtime. I think it was 11pm. Isn't that sad? Ugh. I'm getting old.

Saturday, April 7, 2012

Today was rainy, dark and gloomy. I took Hailey to the gym. I walked on the treadmill for a bit and read my book. Not really sure if you can call that working out, but I went. Hailey played in the Kids Stuff area with the other little ones. The rest of the day we spent some quality time just the two of us. Wayne brought home a Crunchy Roll from Crave for me for dinner. It was gone in minutes and was so yummy.

I wanted to get a movie or two watched that evening, but was still so drained from the night before that I ended up reading for a bit and then falling asleep early.

Super boring Saturday if I don't say so myself.

Sunday, April 8, 2012

Easter Sunday! We got up, Wayne did his yoga while I tended to H. We got ready and I did some things around the house before heading over to his Mom's house for Easter lunch. We ended up not eating until about 2:30pm. She made all the fixings and it was all so yummy. We skyped with Grams and wished her a Happy Easter.

Hailey's First Easter!

She loved her Easter Basket.

Who doesn't love a new outfit and some snacks!!

I thought this printable that I found online says everything about Easter, but while I'm not a fan of peeps or jelly beans, I am a fan of chocolate. That's about all the Easter candy I care about and I can get that year round whenever I like. We didn't color any eggs this year, nor did we do an egg hunt, but we plan to go all out next year definitely.

I love this poem that I found online:



Easter Joy
 
Jesus came to earth,
To show us how to live,
How to put others first,
How to love and how to give.
 
Then He set about His work,
That God sent Him to do;
He took our punishment on Himself;
He made us clean and new.
 
He could have saved Himself,
Calling angels from above,
But He chose to pay our price for sin;
He paid it out of love.
 
Our Lord died on Good Friday,
But the cross did not destroy
His resurrection on Easter morn
That fills our hearts with joy.
 
Now we know our earthly death,
Like His, is just a rest.
We'll be forever with Him
In heaven, where life is best.
 
So we live our lives for Jesus,
Think of Him in all we do.
Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.
Help us love like you!
 
By Joanna Fuchs


I think it's so simple, but tells the story so nicely.

I hope all my family and friends near and far had a great Easter!

We then headed over to my parents house for an Easter/birthday dinner. My birthday is the 9th, so we had a delish dinner, too. We hung-out for awhile and ate strawberry shortcake before heading home way too late on a Sunday evening.

Overall it was a great weekend once again. I was disappointed that I didn't get any movies watched that weekend, which is a bummer because I am so behind on movies. There are so many out that I haven't seen yet.

Just a few on my list at the moment that I have YET to see:

Moneyball
Hugo
The Artist
My Week with Marilyn
Warhorse
J. Edgar

That's just to name a few. Some of those Wayne wants to see, too, others he could care less about and I will find time to watch them on my own.

Have you seen any of the above? How did you like them? What others do you recommend? I need to keep this list going.
