Tuttle, OK

Hadley spent 4 days at her great-grandparents in Oklahoma last week. If Had could talk, she would probably tell you it was the greatest 4 days of her 13 month existence. There is nothing but backyard, swimming, and adoring great-family members in Tuttle. The perfect place for our little outside, active baby. A typical day went as follows, pre-breakfast banana on the back porch, playing outside, fried egg and toast breakfast, swimming or playing in the water hose, lunch, nap, snack outside on the porch, dirt playing, swimming, playing outside, dinner, bed! The only thing I would change would be to hire a chauffeur to drive Hadley the 8 hours there and 8 hours back. And I don't mean my mother! :) I'm pretty sure she wouldn't do it for a million bucks next year anyway.


aren't great grandpapas the best


Lucky's pool that Had officially declared hers



the dog,Lucky, is the neighborhood dog who spends most of her time with my grandparents; Hadley loved throwing the ball to Lucky even though it maybe went two feet and Lucky, sweet dog, would pick it up and run away so Hadley would have to chase her

This day last year

Last Mother's Day, I weighed about a million pounds, couldn't see my feet and had major kankles. Matt got up early to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast and I had eaten them all by the time he sat down to join me. I was practically a mother on the account of carrying around extra LBs, had a basketball under my shirt and was exactly one day from delivering an unnamed baby girl. It's amazing the difference a year can make. I, now, have a walking, noise making, busy, happy, healthy, Hadley who will be 1 on Tuesday! The joys of watching her grow this past year have truly taught me lessons I never thought I'd learn. Happy Mother's day to all you other moms!

A special happy goes to my mom for getting one of the most distracting toys for Hadley to play with. My parents bought her a plastic car last weekend and she hasn't stopped driving, riding, or pushing buttons since.


Yes. Hadley is talking on her cell phone.

Play date with Madeline




These are the only pictures I have because most of the day I was playing referee. Notice Madeline's tears in the first two pictures. Hadley is a brute. Kate, I promise those were consecutive pictures. Madeline didn't cry all day. Just when Hadley hogged the toys or stole her paci. Sharing is an acquired trait, right?

Lately

NO, Hadley...

"..., you may not play in the toilet!"

"..., you may not dump out the trash!"

"..., It's 10:00 pm, there is no way you're pulling out all the tupperware."

"..., you may not climb on your toys."

"..., you seriously can not drink the perfume!"

"..., I'm begging you not to spit out your food!"

"..., stop pulling out the pages of my magazine!"

"..., No ma'am. No. No. No.

It's 10 pm and Hadley is still going strong. As we speak, she is cleaning out my purse and trying to pull the pages out of my planner. :) Gotta go! Pray for us
