For Jaba's Birthday!

We started the day going to our ward's breakfast with Santa! Isaiah understands who Santa is this year and his cute little face lights up when he talks about him! He wasn't scared at all to sit on his lap and tell him that he wants a Spider man back pack.

We were able to go home after breakfast and take a nap. When we woke up we went to Red Mountain Park. We fed the ducks, tried to get Jaba's remote controlled boat to work on the lake but it didn't. Jaba and Zayah played football. Halia Loved the swings. We Spent about 3 hours enjoying each others company and the weather.

After the park we headed to Tempe Town Lake to watch Tausala (the group Jaba used to dance with) dance. It was freezing there so we didn't stay long but it was really nice to see some old friends.

We came home, sang happy birthday and then had dinner together. Jaba had to dance a show but wasn't gone for to long. When he got home we had cake and Ice cream. My parents were out of town so it was just our little family. I asked Jaba how his birthday was and he said it was just what he wanted, spending the day with his family.

Thank you for the cards and gifts and phone calls. It helped to make his day special!

By the light of the moon

We often go outside before dinner to burn off some energy. These days it just keeps getting darker and darker earlier. Last week we were playing and before we knew it, it was dark and we were playing by the light of the beautiful moon! Light or dark we still have fun outside.

And Yes, I'm letting my son jump on the trampoline with a fresh head laceration! But just look how happy it makes him!

Happy birthday Jaba!!!

Saturday night.

We decided to still go to the Temple lights Saturday night after our big day in the ER. We went with some of my family. We got to listen to 2-5-9 sing and see the pretty lights. Both Zayah and Halia loved it! After, we went to Red Robin. Yummy. Zayah got a treat for being so good at the hospital he thought he was gonna get to eat that big ice cream all by himself. Good thing he shared it with daddy! We got home, changed his band aid and let him look at it for the first time. He looked long and hard. We got him some Car's band aids so he would be more excited about wearing them. He is back to his good old self again. Running around and nearly giving me a heart attack every day! I love you son!

Isaiah's trip to Banner Gateway's ED

This is him not really in the mood to talk to anyone! What a sad face!

Saturday was a tough day for Isaiah! I was getting ready for Megan's baby shower, Halia was sleeping and Jaba took Isaiah outside to play. A few minuets later they came rushing in the house!! I hear Zayah crying and ran to see what had happened. All I see is BLOOD everywhere! At this point Jaba is tearing his shirt off to put pressure in Zayah's forehead. He was running outside, tripped on a shovel and hit his head, right in the middle of his forehead, on the corner of a brick and it made a pretty deep cut. We took him to the Hospital and he got three small stitches. today the stitches came out. I hope he wont have to bad of a scar. He did so well at the hospital. The worst part was getting the shots to numb the area for the stitches. Now every morning when he wakes up he says "No Doctor. I all better" Poor guy! We are so grateful it wasn't worse! Sorry Megan for missing the shower!

Watching TV waiting for the Doctor!

He fell asleep after they cleaned it but before they stitched it.After they stitched it. You can see the sadness in his eye's of what he just went through!A short time later he was bouncing off the walls. He couldn't wait to get out of there!

Putting up the tree!

Opening the box!Zayah helping tighten the bottom so the tree wont fall over.I thought this was a cute picture. It is Zayah flinching as the branch is falling into place =)The tree is up but it took us a few days before we put any ornaments on it

So far only one glass ornament has been broken and If you ask Zayah he now knows that it's decorations not toy's =) I love Christmas, It just seems to be taking me a little longer to get in the right spirit! Zayah can hardly wait and LOVES looking at Christmas lights. We hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Funny girl!

Halia was cracking us up last night. First of all it was cold and we don't have many warm things for her yet so she was in Zayah's size 18months outfit from last year. It's kinda slippery. When she sits on the floor she likes to bounce and that motion scooted her around the room. it was fun!

She actually likes to bounce anywhere and when she is on the ottoman, She ROCKS!

Thanksgiving at the Daly's

Halia's first Thanksgiving!

The FOOD! YUMMY!

The Kids Table. Seems like we are missing a few Children

The Big Kids table before we all sat down!
Jon and Zayah playing out side! It was a beautiful day!

This Thanksgiving was at my mom's house. We had a great day. We loved having Uncle Dean and Aunt Donna there. The food was awesome and so was the company! We did miss Dad and the Moore's, Gustin's and the Jackson's! The day was complete with looking through the black Friday ad's and planning the morning to staying up until 2 playing games! I Love Thanksgiving! We also missed Jaba's family very much! We have yet to spend a thanksgiving or Christmas with them but that doesn't mean we are any less grateful for them! We Miss you Aumua's!!!!

6 MONTHS OLD

Our baby girl Halia is 6 months old today! The time is flying by and it is a bitter sweet feeling! She is sitting up by herself although she does not roll over. She loves to laugh at her brother when he is silly, likes being outside better then being in, and LOVES to splash in the bath! She is our beautiful girl and we love her very much! Here are the pictures from our photo shoot today =)

Gilbert Days Parade

Saturday was the Guilbert days parade. This is the first time in a LOT of years that I watched from the side instead of walking with the float. It was a beautiful day!

My niece Sadie is on the front. She did a great job waving!

Zayah saw Grandma coming and was so excited he ran out and gave her a big hug!

Zayah LOVED the school buses! He was crying to ride them!

What a fun family tradition. I hope we continue it for lots of years. I remember riding on the float when I was 5 and how special I felt. 3 more years until it's Zayah's turn =)

A day at the Phoenix Zoo

Today Rebecca and I took our kids to the Phoenix Zoo! I had a great time and I think the kids did to as far as I could tell =) Zayah got to ride a camel and he thought that was so cool. I was a little hesitant to let him but I said he's only 2 once and he really wanted to do it. I'm glad he got to ride.
This is baby Halia checkin out her cool big brother on the camel =)


This is the 2.5 year old orangutan. Her name is Asia. It was so fun to watch her play!

We got home around 5, made dinner, danced around the house then put Halia to bed. Zayah and I were watching a movie and Halia woke up I went to sooth her back to sleep and when I came back not 1 min later a found him like this. We had a long fun day and we LOVE having Rebecca and her family back in Arizona =)
