Poor Jessie

What a day ysterday was!  At 9:00 am Jessie came home from work, pale, sweaty and really sick.  He was in a lot of pain on his right side.  He got the chills really bad and was freezing.  I would have though it was his appendix, only he had that out a few years ago.  We went to the clinic and they suspected an infection at first, but after talking to him and doing some tests, it turns out he has kidney stones...poor guy.  We had to go to the hospital because they wanted to get some cat scans done.  Once at the hospital, the doctor gave him a prescription for the pain and for nasea.  They didn't do the cat scans, but are hoping he passes them by next week.  He has an appointment next week, at which time he will get his cat scans done.  Hopefully the stones aren't too big and he passes them soon.  His medicine makes him pretty loopy!

While at the clinic, Hailey was "growling" at some little kids there.  It was so funny!  She learned to growl while at the babysitters the other day.  My babysitter watches a couple of other kids, and I guess they like to play monsters.  So Hailey picked up on the noises they were making and now thinks that she has to growl at little kids.

Hailey Jo will be 7 1/2 months tomorrow!  I can't believe it!  She loves to be outside, she loves the water, and she loves bananas, prunes, peaches, squash and sweet potatoes!  She is so fun!  She is full of giggles and is such a little character!

Rodeo

Hailey went to her first rodeo this past weekend!  Jessie's company gave us tickets to an all pro-bull riders rodeo in St. George. 

Hailey with the Diamond Z Ranch Shires.  We drive past these horses when we go to Cedar City.  I think they are so beautiful! I have always loved horses!  (you can probably tell, since I have pictures of the horses, but none of the bull riders:)  )

Waiting for the fun to begin

Viva Las Vegas!

Darcie and Jesse came down a couple of weeks ago.  I needed a babysitter, and they happened to have some days off, so they volunteered. We decided to take a trip to Vegas for a night while they were down.  It's not too far of a drive from our house, and there was an awesome pool we just had to check out!  We stayed at the Golden Nugget and had fun swimming and hanging out.

 Hailey loved the light show on Fremont Street

She also loved swimming!  The pool was pretty awesome!  It was right next to an aquarium full of neat fish, sharks, and sting rays!

Jessie in the slide!  The water slide went right through the aquarium!

Darcie and I played with Hailey's hair while on the ride.  This picture is so funny of her!

Family Pictures/Hailey's 6 month pictures

Jessie said he felt like one of the newsies, but I thought that these pictures turned out cute!  I'm glad I made him do them!  I know he secretly loved it!

Isn't she a doll!

Updates!

I have some major updating to do!  There are going to be a lot of pics on here after this!  Hopefully I will have time to get them all on!  Here are a few of the tings we've been up to over the last few months:

Hailey's first ride on a John Deere tractor!  She loved it!!  She doesn't mind the loud noises at all.  She also went for her first four wheeler ride around the yard with dad yesterday, but I didn't get any pictures of that.

We've been trying to get some yard work done...but the weather hasn't been cooperating.

So, on cold weekend days, we just hop on down to St. George to enjoy the nice weather and some fun hikes in the surrounding red rocks.

Hailey also met her cousins Rachel and Heather (second cousins actually...they are my cousin Michelle's kids)

We went to the Rosenbruch Wildlife Museum in St. George.  Hailey was asleep, but it was still pretty neat.
