Happy First Birthday Kennedy!

We celebrated Kennedy's first birthday Candy Land Style! She had a BLAST and we loved every minute of it! Here are a few pictures to share!

Summer Vacations 2008

We had a wonderful time with family at Vero Beach this year! Skim boarding, boogie boarding, swimming and relaxing. We then took a trip to Maggie Valley and stayed in a beautiful cabin for a week! Here are some pictures to share! We also have some exciting and somewhat overwhelming news..there is going to be a new member in the Hayes family...yes again!!!! We will have a new baby for Christmas this year! The new addition to the Hayes family will be born on or around December 15th! Pray for me...I am still a little shell shocked!! But I know that God has a plan and I will be just fine with two babies...a teenager...and a second grader!!!!! Like I said pray for me!

Kennedy's First Visit with Aunt Kate and Uncle Chris

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I have been so busy with work...you can check out my work blog anytime to see what I am up to at www.hayescommunications.blogspot.com. I wanted to post some pictures of our visit with Kate and Chris who came all of the way from France to see us! We had a perfect time and it was so great to get to know them both. Fabulous people! Kate even brought Kennedy her VERY first dress from Paris!!!!! I am jealous...but my big sister PROMISED to take me shopping in Paris when I go to visit her. The countdown is on and I hope to try and go in the next year or so!!! I can't wait!

Happy Easter!!!

Well the past week has been a tough one! Last Wednesday March 12th, Kennedy had her first major accident. We were at the Dr.'s office and I had just changed her diaper on the examination table. I turned my head for a split second to throw the diaper away, I was right there...she flipped and before I could catch her she was gone...off of the table!I can honestly say I don't remember ever being that scared. She responded immediately and the Dr. called an ambulance. We spent the night in the hospital to make sure she was okay. After two CT scans we found she had two skull fractures but by the GRACE of our GOD...she had no bleeding or swelling on the brain. God performed a miracle and she is okay. Mommy did much worse than she did..I have felt horribly responsible for the accident...but I am working on forgiving myself and learning a lesson I will never forget. Every time I look at her precious smile I feel so grateful that she is here, and that God was holding onto her that day. I want to wish EVERYONE a very happy Easter! May we not forget why we celebrate this day...our Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed his life so that we may be forgiven! Much love to all!!!

Vegas Baby!!!

Michael and I took Kennedy and Leanna to Vegas for the week. It was their first time flying and they both did wonderful!!! Leanna was a trooper and even sat by the window! The girls and I had a blast shopping during the day and touring the hotels while Michael was in meetings. He was lucky to take a day off to join us in our fun! We had a GREAT time!!!

Getaway to Cozumel

Michael and I spent some getaway time on a cruise to Cozumel! I didn't even remember what it was like to sleep through the night! Missed the kids like crazy, but it was GREAT to get away from reality for a while!!!

Mommy and Me Time

I had so much fun with little Kennedy taking pictures!!! She was 5 months old in these photos. Now she is 6 months old and I am just posting these, and it is time to take more pictures!!!
