Hale Edition: Catching Up!

It's been awhile since I posted any pictures.  Most days I'm too busy enjoying my sweet baby! :)  But people have been asking for them, so I thought I'd post some of my favorite pictures from the past few months.

Daniel and Caitlyn moving the cows on a chilly spring morning

Very proud of my man for finishing EMT school at the top of his class even though he was incredibly busy!  Working full time managing things at the farm, taking care of the hatchery, running calls for the fire department, EMT school, and still finding time for his family.  And he didn't go to EMT school to get a job, a raise, or anything like that. He did it so he could better help people as a first responder, volunteering for the fire department.  That's Daniel. Always thinking of others! <3

Watching Daddy work on a dummy

Caitlyn never wants Daddy to leave for work.

The delight that comes from your very first smoothie!

A picnic with some of the cousins

My happy baby

Caitlyn just recently learned how to pick up her toys. She will dump out her balls and then spend the next 20-30 minutes picking them up, spilling them, and picking them up again! She thinks it's a great game!

Easter morning. It was cold!

Es and I with our cuties after the sunrise service.  Our guys had to leave on a fire call.

Easter Sunday was a busy day for our fire fighters. A med call, 2 wrecks, and a big fire to top it off.  Everyone was tired and hungry, so we brought them some snacks on scene, then had pizza back at the station when the fire was out.  It was nearly midnight by the time we headed home.

Teething on a carrot - Caitlyn has 4 teeth now!

Cute baby in her pajamas :)

Helping Daddy in the hatchery.  We had over 5,000 chicks this afternoon!

Before church

Caitlyn watches from the stroller while I take care of the garden

We had a fun visit from some of the family!

I love how the doorway frames this picture!

We all pulled out our cameras and had fun!

These 2 girls really love each other!

Hudson being silly :)

Cousin pile!

Look who's trying to walk!

She's only taken 4 steps at a time, but that's pretty good for a 9-month-old!
And this is how a firefighter's daughter gets dressed... :)

One of the many fires our guys put out recently.

First trip to the splash pad!  She LOVES water!

First piece of watermelon.  She cried when I thought she'd had enough and took it away.
