Surprise!

My sister, neice, Haylie and I flew to Utah on my dad's birthday to surprise him for his 50th! He was shocked to come out of his bedroom and have Haylie strolling down the hallway towards him. It was such a fun surprise!


The birthday boy!

Haylie and Shelby checking out the dogs in the backyard.

Haylie helping with the dishes



Lots of reading stories together

Shelby having some yummy banana for breakfast

Haylie and I were able to go out to eat with the Taylor's while we were there. We love having our families so close by so we can see everyone!
Haylie was a cheesy mess from her mac and cheese dinner.



Haylie giving Shelby back her milk cup. She kept snatching it when Shelby would leave it laying around. ;)

Haylie pondering life.

Haylie and Grandpa ready to go to the ZOO!

There was a beautiful day with perfect weather while we were there so we decided to head to the Zoo for Haylie's first visit there!

First stop was the carousel!


She loved it!


We stopped at the park to let the girls run and play.

I have so many pictures of Haylie's backside, she's just always going a mile a minute!


Shelby and Grandpa checking out the monkeys.

I had to get pictures of Haylie by the famous lion drinking fountain that I remember drinking from as a little girl.



Mom and dad. :)

Ice cream! Haylie and Shelby got spoiled by being able to have their very own ice cream cones to hold and eat from. :)




Haylie and Shelby twinners!

Our flight back home got canceled so we got to stay in Utah an extra 2 days and watch General Conference there! I was a little bummed that we couldn't get home to see Jake but it was so great to have extra time for Haylie to be with the family.
We got to spend more time with her Nana, Papa and Aunt Kelly and watched a session of conference with them!
Haylie had fun playing with her Nana.

Haylie was so excited that Kelly let her pet the kitty, she was in heaven!

Haylie and her Papa. He played peek-a-boo with her by covering his eyes and she has started doing that ever since! So cute.

Grandpa and Haylie.

I bought Haylie a BYU shirt while we were there. :)

Haylie and her Uncle Tay! He is such a sweet uncle.


We made it home safe and had such a fun time making wonderful memories!
