Dad's Sermons

During the race season dad preached at each race we were at. Everyone enjoyed his sermons so much that they requested he do an online sermon during the off season. He just did his first one and has posted it to their website, www.garnerracing.blogspot.com, and I have also posted it below. He is going to try and do at least one a month if not more than that. The video is about 23 mins long, so click and view it when you have a little time. We hope you enjoy it and are able to take something from it.

Have a Happy New Year!!

THANK YOU!!

I wanted to write and say thank you so much to everyone that helped to make Hailey's first Christmas a good one! She got so many fun and exciting toys... she can't decide which one she wants to play with now, and mommy can't decide where to keep all of them now :) Hope everyone got what they wanted from Santa... Have a Happy New Year! Thanks again

Just a couple of pictures that I snapped of Hailey after church today :) such a beautiful dress!

Hailey's First Christmas

This Christmas was a very special Christmas. I always look forward to this time of year, but this year was going to be extra fun. We got home on Christmas Eve and made cookies for Santa. I COULD NOT wait to get started on Christmas morning! Of course HB slept in, so by the time she got done eating, I was about to jump out of my skin. We ran and woke daddy up and told him we wanted to see what santa had brought us!! We got the camera out and ready to capture every moment. I sat HB in front of all her presents and she immediately reached out for one, by this point, she knew exactly what to do! She started opening all Santa left. Her main gifts were a 'Jenny Jump Up' and a walker. Unfort the walker didnt work out as planned... she couldn't even touch the ground! haha. So needless to say, the point of a walker wasn't going to work out. I was really upset about this one cause I was so excited about giving it to her because she had enjoyed our friends so much. So I am still on the look out for one :)
I had a fast one pulled over on me this year. Dustin did a great job this year as he does every year. My first present was butcher block cutting board from Paula Dean. I have always wanted one of these, so I was very excited! I also got a beautiful North Face jacket which I always love. But all of a sudden I feel a box in the pocket, and it was jewelry!! Dustin gave me a ring from the "Open Hearts" collection from Kay. He explained to me that it had one big heart and one small heart so that I could always remember Hailey's first Christmas. It was the sweetest and most thoughtful thing!! Felt like I was straight out of a commerical!
I was able to be a little sneaky myself and suprise him with a new 29 gallon fish tank! He was so shocked and surprised :) We all had a great Christmas and it will be one to always remember! Thank you to everyone for our gifts, we have been putting them all to good use :) Only 364 more days to go....

Haileys first Christmas

Garner Family Christmas

We started off Christmas Eve at the Bagwell family Christmas (pics to come soon) It was good to get together with everyone. It is such a big family, so Hailey was taking in a lot. She had so much fun hanging out with all of her cousins. She loves to spend time with kids. After we got done there, we headed out for home to relax a little bit before our churches Christmas Eve service. It was AWESOME!! The music was so good and the production was well thought out. Hailey loved seeing all the flashing lights and loud music :) She was suppose to be sleeping.. but there was no way she was going to miss any of the action.
After the service, we headed to mom and dads house. We had a great spaghetti dinner and got in a lot of laughs at the dinner table. Once it was time to start the gifts.. we had to open our way to our seats as dad would say. GG def. loves her baby girl. She got so many wonderful gifts from her, and even personalized ones. My favorite one was the book that mom recorded for her so that when you flip each page it reads off the words to her in moms voice. It was very special. I also go some great gifts and my digital picture frame that I have been wanting for a few years. We had to wrap it all up and get home so that Santa could come and see us! (will upload more pics once I get them from mom)

Garner Family Christmas

Floyd Family Christmas

We got together with Dustins family and had a good traditional dinner. We all got to catch up and then open up some gifts. Hailey got some great toys and some special keepsakes as well. Her aunt Erin gave her a really pretty angel ornament that is hanging on the tree! She also got the original tickle me elmo from Grannie Anny. Mommy and daddy also got some great gifts and money to spend! We cant wait to get to Pigeon Forge and spend some of it at the outlet malls, well at least one of us ;o)

Floyd Christmas

"Santa Baby!!!"

As you can see we have been pretty busy lately and I am just now getting to post some of it. So here it is all at one time!! I finally got to have some relaxing time with the family and got some really cute pictures today. I got HB in front of the presents and Christmas tree and she had on her cute bloomers that GG gave her. I just kept snapping the camera to make sure I got all of the good ones... so there are about 20 or so!

Even though she has that chubby little belly and chunky thighs, she is still the cutest kid on the block!!

Santa Baby

Our new tradition

Since this Christmas is going to be the first of many fun Christmas' to come, we have decided to start a new tradition. This year we made a pretty Ginger bread house as a family. Hailey might be just a little too young to know exactly what is going on at this point, but she still had fun with us. Daddy did most of the work, but I helped to put the finishing touches on. Although we know she is not suppose to induldge in he sweets yet, we let her have a little taste of the icing. She LOVED it of course. At one point we didn't know that she had stuck her finger in it and we looked over and she is content as can be just sucking on her hand!!! hahahaha. It was very funny (dont worry, the icing had pretty much dried, so it was only a tiny bit!) Now we have a beautiful Ginger Bread House sitting on our counter for all to see :)

Gingerbread House

Martin Christmas

On to the next party.... we got together at Dustin's grandmothers for the Martin Family Christmas. We knew this would be a good one with two new babies in the family. We had ALOT of good food that Joann cooked and had a good sit down dinner in her new room out on the porch. The kids (two older boys) could hardly wait to open gifts, so we shifted into the living room to get everything going. Hailey was still down for her nap, so we let the boys go at it and everyone else enjoyed opening up gifts to see what they got. Hailey finally got up and we dug into ALL the presents that she had. I don't believe that she will have to worry about toys after this Christmas Season. She has already racked up and still has 3 parties to go! She has been a very happy girl the past two nights with all the toys that she has to play with :) We both can't wait until it is our turn to watch her open up our presents!!! Santa is own his way..

Martin Christmas

Christmas has already started!

We have already got our Christmas parties started. We started out with our good friends the Cucuzza's. We were all so excited and couldn't wait for friday to get there! We started out at their house and had a bunch of good appetizers. We had a bunch of laughs and filled our bellies just enough to be ready for sushi. We ate at a Japanese rest. here in Loganville and got a couple of different sushi rolls. One of our favorite things! We finally ended up at our house for presents and dessert. Of course we had to let Hailey go first and open up all her neat toys and pretty outfits. She got so many good things from her AJ! Jessica and I could hardly wait to see each other open up their gifts.. we had put so much time and thought into, that we both wanted the other to go first :) We were both so happy with what we got. Needless to say we were all so full from the rest of the food that we had to hold off on the dessert. We had a great time and had many laughs and made some good memories. It was a good way to kick of the Christmas parties.

Cucuzza Christmas

6 Months

Hailey is now a half a year old! Wow, 6 months has flown by. We have so much to be thankful for in having a happy and healthy baby girl. She has been so much fun watching grow and all the things she is starting to do as well. She is now getting up on all fours and pushing off just a little. She hasn't figured out how to move those arms at the same time she is moving her legs. She starts to inch forward and just falls over because her arms go behind her. Sometimes it looks like she is trying to do a push up! She is doing really well at sitting up too. She still topples over sometimes, but for the most part, she is sitting up by herself. We are so excited for Christmas to come because we know that it is going to be such a joyous time. She already wants to open up the presents that I have wrapped!! Anytime we give her wrapping paper or tissue paper, she goes nuts over it and starts throwing her arms around. The Christmas is going to be the best yet :)

6 Months

My first sip

Well she hasn't mastered the art of it yet, but HB had her first sip our of sippy cup today. She has been so interested in our glasses, and we have let her have a few sips of water or juice out of it (they said babies can actually start this as early as 4 months!) and she wanted to keep going and going. She would actually get mad if you took it away, haha. So today, I decided to get out the sippy cup we got as a present and filled it up with a little of her juice. I handed it to her and she immediately started drinking it. She of course had to figure out that it was a little different than a bottle, but she loved it.. esp because of the handles. I got some cute and funny pics of it. She couldn't quite figure out the turning it up part, so she kept tilting her whole head back and it was making us laugh. I just can't believe all the things that she is getting into now!

Rockettes

It is a little delayed, but I am finally getting up pics from the Rockettes. It was AWESOME!!! We had no idea at how great of detail there was going to be. There outfits were so pretty and they stayed in a perfect line. It was an eye popping show from the start to finish... and speaking of a finish, IT WAS SURPRISING AND GREAT! We couldn't believe it when the lights dimmed and then they started sharing the story of Christ. They had a live nativity scene complete with Camels. I COULD NOT believe it. They actually had two of them, and other animals as well. It was one of the most beautiful things that I have seen at a show. The colors were brilliant and the story was told in a unique way. They pulled down a huge screen that looked like a scroll and had a description of Christ scroll up it as the announcer read it off. I would go back again and again!

Rockettes

New blog look

Just wanted to let those of you that view the emails only that we now have a new look at The Floyd's website.. we are all dolled up for Christmas.... So if you haven't been to the actual site lately, come and check it out!

Chrismas Pics

Here are her individual pictures that we took. We got some great shots of her with presents and the tree. There are also a couple at Adam's tree farm and driving the fire truck! (Dozi even snuck in a Santa pic) Here's Mommy and Daddy's little gift from above!

Christmas Pics

Me and Santa

Well Santa decide to stop by the Floyd house early this year! We felt extra special because Santa made a house call for us... Dad's friend dresses up as Santa, and has the pretty suit that the ones at Macy's use. He came out for free to make pics with HB. She wasn't in her happiest mood, so she didnt smile a lot, but she did takes some really cute pics. I think if she would have gotten her full nap in she would have done better, but there are no complaints here! We also got some family pics and some individual ones of her. We had a great photographer (GG) and instead of paying a lot of money, we got some good laughs and great family time. Hope you enjoy!!

Christmas Pictures

This look right to you Mom?

It's finally my favorite time of year.. Christmas. You can't help but have a smile on your face when you walk into a decorated house, or turn on the radio and listen to the music, or see the presents under the tree that you know will be a big surprise! It is all just so exciting and fun. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is all the decor and lights. I must admit I go a little crazy with it, but it just makes the holidays that much better. I have realized just how hard it is to decorate when you have a 6 month old at home. So instead of trying to rush things, I sat her down and let her play as much as she wanted to with all the pretty lights. She loves to sit there and stare at them. I got some of my garland and wrapped it around her. She must be a mommys girl because she was all smiles. I got some great pics of her. I cant wait for Christmas this year because I know that it is going to be SO MUCH fun. One of dads friends is playing Santa this year and is so generously coming to our house for pics. I am so excited and think that it is going to be a fun experience. I cant wait to see how Hailey reacts.. I have a feeling it is going to be really funny :)

(i also added the pics of HB with the pickle on Thanksgiving!)

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!

We went and picked out our Christmas tree this week. We are going to be using moms old fake one as our main tree, but it just isnt Christmas without a live tree!! I love the smell and the spirit that it fills the house with. We got a cute little small one that fits perfect in our living room. Adam is selling trees this year, so we went up there to support him. The trees are very fresh and have that wonderful smell. It was really cold the night that we went, so we only got a few pics. Hailey is totally taken back by the trees. She can't take her eyes off of them, esp when they have lights on them! Unfort when I went to decorate the tree, I remembered that I threw out all my lights last year because they were starting to go out. So I have been a bit behind this year, but hope to have it all done by this weekend!

Giving Thanks

We had lots of food and fun with our family on Thanksgiving. We started it out with lunch at Dad's parents and man did we eat. The food just kept coming and by the time it was done, the whole table was full! It was all so delicious and needless to say, we were miserable! Hailey even joined in on the food and had pickle for the first time. Don't worry! She just chewed on the end of one which I am sure felt good to her teeth! She loved it and cried when we took it away.. haha. That night we relaxed and watch some movies. I usually go home and start the Christmas decorating. But this year we had Thanksgiving at my house and it wasn't until Sunday. Mom's side of the family came over and we had a good time with them as well... and again.. more food! It was a full house and great weather for the kids to play outside. Dustin showed off his 'petting zoo' to everyone and the kids loved it! We managed to get a good pic of all the great grand kids. That night we had Dustin's family over and celebrated his Grandmothers bday as well. By the time it was all over, we didn't want anything to do with food for a while.

We count our blessings everyday and have so many things to be thankful for. Thanks to everyone who made Thanksgiving that much more special :)

(more pics are to come, so check back for new ones tomorrow)

Thanksgiving 09

My Snazzy Outfits

This is my snazzy outfit that Jessica gave me! I wore my furry boots (that came from CVS!) with it and looked like an Alaska snow bunny! Mommy wanted to cuddle with me the whole day :)

This is my other pretty outfit that GG got me. It is one of my many fall outfits. I wore a cute head band with it and my pretty brown flower shoes


This one is mommys FAVORITE ONE! It is a one peice sweater outfit and very colorful and warm. I wore my bright pink high top tennis shoes with it!

Last one... GG bought this for me for a fall outfit around Thanksgiving. It is a little big, but so cute with fall colors and leaves! It was very comfy and good for a cold day.

South GA Trip

Two weekends ago we went down to see dustins grandparents in South GA. They hadn't seen HB since she was 2 months old, so they were very surprised at how she had changed and were so happy to see her! She gave them both a big smile soon as she saw them. We had a lot of fun hanging out and getting some time to relax. We rode four wheelers and played with the dogs in the lake (well we didnt get in the lake!) We even got to have a big early Thanksgiving dinner... it was so delicious :)

Tuffo Outdoor Water Resistant Blanket Review

Once again my Friend at "This Mama Rocks" is doing a give away. This time it is a water resistant blanket.

You can check it out at her site and enter the contest to win one here "http://thismamablogrocks.blogspot.com/2009/11/vat-19-tuffo-outdoor-waterproof-picnic.html" or you can visit the Vat19 website and purchase one for yourself here "http://www.vat19.com/dvds/tuffo-outdoor-waterproof-blanket.cfm"

She's trying so hard!!

Hailey started getting up on her knees for the first time today. She really started trying hard when we put her down for bed. She started pushing up and scooting backwards in the crib. I know it was bedtime, but I couldn't resist putting her on the floor and having some fun and capturing some video!! It is a little long this time, but you can't just tell them "ok do it now" haha. The whole video is her trying to get up, but the very end is when she actually gets on all fours and stays for a bit. She was trying so hard to crawl to daddy!! If you have the time, watch the whole thing, but if you want to see her get all the way up.. just skip to the end ;)

Is this what Christmas will be like?

Today we got some Chirstmas flyers in the mail and I was going through them with Hailey. She loves to read books and magazines and hold anything that you put in front of her. I pulled one of the bigger ones that we had and let her "help" me flip through it. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a while. She was going crazy over it and banging all the pages. I sat her by herself and put it in her lap and this is what she did. If this is anything like Christmas is going to be... it is going to be sooo much fun and I cant wait!!!!

5 Months

Well I am just now getting HB's 5 Month pics up. She turned 5 mo's on Nov 8. As always the time is just flying by. She has been doing a lot lately. She loves to play with her toes and even tries to get them all the way up there to her mouth! She is doing really well with sitting up and we try and practice with her everyday. The only problem is she wants to stand up all the time and never wants to bend. Once she gets her feet going, you won't be able to stop the girl! She still loves Pooh and Tigger. She has been a little fussy at night because I think she has more teeth coming in (crazy!!) so she will be in her jumper and start fussing and soon as I turn them on she just stops and looks at the tv with amazement. She loves to watch it and I can usually count on a babysitter for about 30 extra minutes! If that doesnt work, I just bring the dogs around her. She absolutely loves the dogs! She just watches them and breaks a neck if they walk out of the room. Tues when we got all the bad rain, we found a puppy and had to bring him in. It was so sad and he was terribly skinny. So of course I made Dustin go get him and bring him in the garage. I have been trying to find a good home for him, but no luck yet. I just can't bring him to the pound, won't do it! He is so sweet and dozi AND angel both like him, which is so hard to believe. He has to stay outside but loves it when they come to play. So HB has a lot to look at now a days. So if you know anyone that wants a sweet dog, just let me know :) Enjoy the pics....

5 Months

Montgomery Race

This past weekend we went to Montomery AL for the ORSCA Race. All three boys were to race, Larry, Adam, and Dustin. Unfortunately Friday night Dustin's race truck broke down and he was put out for the weekend. He was stilled excited to be there and help. Dad had his first real race of the season and did an awesome job! He cut good lights and even ran a perfect 5.00 (0). That's right, the zero's just kept going.. haha. He had a lot of fun and even managed to pull off a 6.00 in Adam's car when testing and tuning. He made it to the third round and got put out by the Champ (literally!) and would have beat him, but reacted just a tad too fast and red lit. We had such a blast and HB even got to participate with her head phones! She even had her own special outfits...

Fall is in the Air

With all the beautiful weather lately, you can't help but have a smile on your face! :) GG kept HB (Hailey Brook, this is what I will start to call her on here thanks to daddy!) She got some great fall pics of her in her cute dress in the leaves. I hope to get even more, but here are the precious pictures that she got! She wasn't in a real smiley mood, but they are still great! Thanks GG :)

The pics that GG got of me trick or treating!

Halloween Part 3

Halloween Part two!

We had such a blast Trick or Treating with Hailey. She got in a good 2 hour nap before hand.. and then got a full belly, so she was a happy girl. We started out by having some friends and family over to see her in her costume. I made Apple Cider and Crisp and we took pics and hung out for a bit. We finally got ready to go out and start the festivities. We were so thankful that the Lord held off with the rain for us. I was really worried about that. We headed next door to the Gobles house and they all greeted us and loved Hailey's costume. Although she can't eat, of course they had to give her a couple of pieces of candy, and she even held her own goodie bag! We let her reach into the candy bowl and she picked purple nerds, (yummy.. haha) First thing she did was put them straight in her mouth. We all got a good laugh out of this and of course a good photo op. GG and G Daddy came with us, so mom got a bunch of good pictures for us. We only hit up about 4 houses, but Hailey seemed to have a lot of fun and gave everyone smiles. She got her picture made with her favorite boy Kohen (our next door neighbor) She loves Kohen and always smiles really big and a whole lot when she is around him :) After trick or treating we came back and she got to open her goodie bags from Sherry and GG and racked up on a bunch of things. If this is what Halloween is like for the kid, I hate to see what is going to happen at Christmas!! (these are only the pics that I took, once I get moms from trick or treating, I will post them in a different post)

Halloween Part two

Halloween Part One

We carved some pumpkins getting ready for Halloween. I also got some pics of Hailey in her costume just in case I wasn't able to get some good ones on Halloween. I gave Hailey her Halloween gift and she loved opening it and looking at the card. I got the cutest picture of her holding her card and it looks like she is actually reading it. It is too funny. She got her first bigger dollie and the first thing she did was stick it in her mouth! I wonder if this is how she is showing me that she loves her new gift?!? I can't wait to put pictures up from tonight when we got out for her first Trick or Treat. Hopefully the rain will hold off for us. :)

Halloween Part One

Fall Pictures

I got around to taking some of Hailey's Fall Pictures. It is a little hard to do at this point because I want to be creative with it, but she can't fully sit on her own yet... so it is a challenge. I got a couple of good snapshots and some good smiles. They came out very cute with a little help from the bumbo seat!

Fall Pics

I'm getting the hang of this..

Hailey is getting better and better at being able to sit up. Of course she can't just sit there and carry on a conversation with you! However she can hold herself up for a good while. She wobbles a bit and falls every once in a while, but she will sit there and laugh at you. She especially does good when Dozi or Angel are sitting in front of her. She is so fascinated with the girls and focuses all of her attention to them. The whole time that Dozi sat next to me, she was sitting straight up.. that is how I got the good pics! The first one is her laughing at Dozi :)

We are still struggling with our solid foods! Daddy and Mommy were so excited to start solids and just knew that she was ready for it. Hailey will sit there and just stare at your food while you eat. She even licks her lips sometimes.. haha! However when we started her on cereal, she was less than thrilled. She makes the funniest faces and starts blowing bubbles in it! We have tried a couple of different solids, veggies and fruits, and she doesn't like either. So we are going to take a little break for now and just stick with cereal and revisit the solids in a couple of days or weeks. For now we will just enjoy the ease of just doing the bottle!

Snoedels

I follow my friends mama blog "this mama rocks" (see blog button to the right) and she always has great ideas and giveaways. I recently looked at her website and saw these. Hailey always has a lovey with her, whether it be pooh, bunny, or even her bright giraffe. I def. think that she would enjoy the Snoedel. It looks like a great idea where she will always have the comfort of mom and dad. I entered the giveaway for it and you should check it out too for your little one! Enter at www.

Hailey watchin her pooh bear

Our 3 year anniversary

We can hardly believe that 3 years have already gone by. My how things change :) We were fortunate enough to be able to leave Hailey at mom's house and go enjoy the day off and night. We started out at the Zoo, which I have to admit was a little weird going to and leaving our child at home... haha. It was beautiful weather and we had such a great time. Neither one of us had been since we were in middle school, and let me tell you it looks mighty different through 'big girl' eyes! When we got done there we headed out to do some shopping. Of course the only person that got anything was Hailey! We decided to hang it up on the shopping and leave out for PF Changs at the Mall of GA. We had a bad experience there a couple of years ago, but heard so many others talk great things about it, so we decided to give it another shot... it was amazing! The food was awesome, and because of the great weather, we got to sit outside and enjoy it. We were going to catch an IMAX movie, but nothing was playing when we were there, so we headed to the new Brandsmart instead. I know, I know, not a typical anniversary date, but that is so us. You know it could have been Wal-mart, so we are stepping up :)

We stopped for a warm 'Caramel Apple Spice' at Starbucks on the way home (which I am totally addicted to now!) and decided to catch up on some tivo. It was an awesome day and my hubby is just the best. I didn't mention his totally sweet scheme he had going. So he asked me on tues night if I could let the dogs out in the morning because he would really like to sleep in.. so I had no problems in this. I go to let the dogs out and flip on the hall light... there is was, my new pretty pink northface jacket with a note that read "Hey babe, I got this for you so you wouldn't be cold when you let the dogs out"!! How sweet, he does have a few tricks up that sleeve ;)

All in all, we had a beautiful day and were able to get some much needed one on one time.

Anniversary

Happy Monday

The past couple of days Hailey has been talking herself back to sleep. She gets up around 630 to eat and then back down to bed. She will play possum with me and make me think she is asleep until I get back to our bed. Once I lay down, I start hearing bubbles and screeches and laughs. The first time she did it, I went back across the house and gave her the paci back. After that I just started letting her do her thing. She will rant and rave for about 15 mins and then she is just gone! haha. This morning she was being extra funny and it just touches my heart, so I got out the video and this is what came about. It is about a minute and 30 secs, and some may find it boring, but I think it is so cute.. esp the last 30 secs or so. Funny thing is, right after I shut the camera off she light out this huge yell for about 3 seconds and I just started laughing!

Play time

Hailey really enjoys her jumper. We put her in front of the tv and she loves to watch Pooh and Tigger. I got the camera out and tried to get her talking to them, but of course she stopped by the time I got it. She sits there and just talks back and forth with them, sometimes even lets out a screech!! She cracks us up. GG swears that she has watched mommy watch the GA bulldogs too much and that is where she got her yelling at the tv from!! She loves to hear herself now. She will just yell out of no where. Of course, the first couple of times that she did it, I went running over thinking something was wrong. She just looked up at me like 'mom what is the matter' and then just gives a big smile. :)

Hailey's eating solids!!

We went to the doctor last thursday and he gave us the go ahead for solids.. I think that mommy is more excited than Hailey ;) She is now 14.5 oz and almost 24 inches long. She got a great report and the doc couldnt believe she had 2 teeth! I had already gave her cereal a couple of times to see how she would do with it and she doesnt really know what to think. She makes the funniest faces :) We got a video of her last night trying bananas for the first time! It is pretty funny. It will take some getting use to, but I am glad that we are starting the process

4 months

As always, I took Hailey's pictures since she is now 4 months! I got some really cute ones. The funny thing is, I didn't realize until about half way through that I had been using the blocks that said "3 months" instead of 4. So when you look at the pics and see 3 months, just laugh at my "mommy brain" haha. There were some cute ones, so I didn't want to delete them!

4 Months

Hailey's Got Teeth

I still CAN NOT believe it. Hailey now has 2 teeth! It happened a little over a week ago. I sat down in the rocking chair not this Friday, but the one before, to feed her before bed. She keep turning her head away and crying. I got up and turned on the light, and THERE IT WAS! I could not believe my eyes. I knew that the teething process started between 4 and 9 months, but I was so shocked. I yelled for Dustin to come in there and said "Look, Hailey has a tooth!" He couldn't believe it either. Of course the first thing I did was get on the phone with my mom, and he did on the phone with his. They we excited and couldn't wait to see it. The second one started to cut through about 2 days later and is now all the way through! Although this is very exciting news, it is also very tiresome. She has been very fussy before bedtime because I guess it has had all day to build up the pain. She constantly chews on toys and anything she can get her mouth on, including your fingers and OUCH! She has been doing so much lately and loves to play with her jumper and toys. I got out the camera and tried to get a picture of her teeth. Of course I wasn't able to, but here are the pictures because they are hilarious!

Dustins new adventure

Dustin has started a new adventure (well hobby!) About 2 months ago he got a pet bearded dragon. She is a pretty yellow and red color (picture above). His friend also went out and got one. Well this is where it all began. They have now decided to breed and sale them. They have a total of 10 or so. This is like a dream come true for Dustin. He has always wanted to own reptiles and now he is starting up a side business of it. They haven't started the process yet, but will in a couple of weeks. It is not really my cup of tea, but he does have some pretty dragons. Hailey and I go down there and hang out when he cleans the cages and feeds them. So if anybody is wanting a bearded dragon, you know where to get the prettiest ones ;)
