Hadlee's Christmas

As I said before, Hadlee was sick most of the Christmas holiday, and I don't have very many good pics of her. We actually delayed both our Christmas at home, and Christmas with my family to try to give her time to get to feeling better. Here are just some random pictures of Hadlee throughout the holiday season.

Here's Hadlee and her cousin Ty; Hadlee's the younger by 6 months. :) Ty's mommy is afraid he's going to be a "little" boy. lol

opening presents at my parents'

one of her favorite gifts - a Nike pink/white basketball! (I'm trying SO hard to push the baby dolls!)

Christmas at our house - she wasn't feeling well! :(

Daddy had to help her open - she wasn't too "into" it.

she loves "Connect 4"

her Graco doll accessories set - stroller, swing, high chair, carrier, bouncy seat, and diaper bag!

We got her the Rose Petal Cottage - it is so adorable!!

it had a LOT of pieces!

Update!

I trust everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We've been busy, and Hadlee has been sick over the holidays. Terrible cold, high fever, and bad cough - that's the summary of our last week and a half. :( We took her to the doctor Monday, and they did chest x-rays, blood work, and a throat culture. They also put her on her second antibiotic. Unfortunately, we have yet to hear any results from the tests. (Mommy's not happy about that!) Anyway, she IS better. No more fever, cold is better, but she still has the cough, a little wheezing, and now an upset stomach. sigh! So...I do have a few pictures from her Christmas to share later, but she wasn't feeling like opening presents at all! On the bright side, we've been very happy to have Daddy home - 17 days!! Hadlee and Mommy are both going to really miss him when he has to go back to work Monday. :( I did post one picture of Hadlee on my other blog - you can check it out here http://arenderphotography.blogspot.com. Try to post our Christmas later - "Mom-ma!" is being paged at increasing decibels!! :)

Family Pic Update (finally!)

~My text refuses to do right at the bottom of this post - Sorry!~

Well, I finally got my husband (around his deer-hunting schedule - lol) to the park for a few pictures. Ryan (my brother) ran the camera for me. Hadlee literally only smiled in two pictures (out of a LOT), so here they are. =)

(plus this "non-smiling" one) lol
















smiling #1
















smiling #2

and...my personal favorite =)

Thanks, Uncle Ryan, for your help and wild antics to get the smiles we got!

IBS Elementary Christmas Program

This blog is usually about Hadlee, but besides being a mommy, I'm also a big sister. :) Jordan had his program last night; here are a few pictures.

Jordan sang the solo in "There's a New Kid in Town." He's a 4th grader this year, and totally amazes me with his voice. (probably cuz I don't have one...lol) He was a little hesitant on the first verse, but was very confident on the second. The video quality isn't great, but you can still hear him. Check out his vibrato! =) (don't know where he got it!)

Busy Bee ~

I tried to catch some pics of Hadlee the other evening. But she was much too busy to stand still and look at the camera.

ummm...maybe this isn't "blog fitting", but it was funny! ;)

Hadlee loves to put purses on her arm...and she loves to have credit cards and a cell phone with her at all times. Doesn't she past the "true girl" test?? :)

Catchin' up...

My blogging is kinda falling apart. Maybe it has something to due with Hadlee and Madison....

Anyway, here's pics of the two of them. I took them several days ago, but I haven't been able to get them "blogged."

first car ride together :)
